One month later

It had been over a month since you last spoke to – or even looked at – Calum or Victoria. 

Calum would try to talk to you in homeroom or at lunch, but you ignored him, pretending he wasn't even there. Victoria had stopped sitting with you and the boys at lunchtime and seemingly just avoided being around you altogether – and when she couldn't, like in homeroom, she would sit on the opposite side of the room and pretend to be busy.

You'd heard people – mainly Michael and Luke – mention that Calum and Victoria had broken up not long after you went off on them, but you stopped listening to the conversation after that. You didn't care what either of them did anymore, to be honest.

Until Calum made you listen, of course.

It was just another Friday after school – you had finished getting all of your things into your backpack and started walking toward the student parking lot to wait at Michael's car for him. You'd been in a pretty good mood all day – finally starting to feel like yourself again after what happened with your ex-best friends – but you should have known it wouldn't last forever.

You were suddenly surprised when you passed by someone at their locker, not realizing that someone was Calum until he slammed his locker door closed quickly and starting following you.

"Y/N, we need to talk," he said, earning an audible sigh from you so he knew you were annoyed by his presence.

"I'll pass," you stated, "There – we talked. Have a nice weekend, Calum."

"Y/N, I..." Calum sighed, "If I had known Victoria only got with me to make you mad, I never would have-"

"Doesn't matter anymore," you waved him off, "It's done."

"Y/N, please just let me-"

"You don't need to explain yourself," you shook your head, still not turning to look at him, "You have Victoria, and I'll get over it." Having enough of you avoiding him, Calum grabbed your elbow and spun you around, pinning you up against the closest locker to you. "Calum Hood, if you don't let go of me in the next two seconds, so help me God," you growled.

"I know you know Victoria and I aren't together anymore," he told you just as lowly, "I know you know we broke up after Mike told me what happened." You grumbled again, but you should have known Michael would tell him why you'd gone off of him and his now ex-girlfriend. "But I didn't want her," he said seriously, having no real way to ease into what he had to tell you, "I wanted you."

"You wanted me, so you slept with my best friend?!" you exclaimed softly as to not alert anyone around, ripping your arm out of his hand and shoving him away from you.

"We weren't at the mall together! I didn't even know she was there until she approached me!" he said defensively, "She came onto me! What was I supposed to do?!"

"Tell her no! Push her away! Make her leave!" you shook your head again, "Not sleep with her!"

"I didn't mean to-"

"Don't start that bullshit with me, Calum!" you demanded, "You don't just accidentally sleep with someone!"

"Y/N-"

"Fuck you, Calum," you hissed, pushing past him so you could continue where you were going before he'd stopped you. 

But he didn't let you leave.

The moment he caught himself from stumbling over when you shoved him, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you back to him.

"Calum," you mumbled, still not wanting attention on you, "Let go of me right now."

"Not until you hear me out," he stated, to no avail. He felt you breathe in deeply – and he knew you well enough to know that was your way of telling him you were trying to remain calm.

"I want Michael..." you said under your breath, feeling Calum's body tense up, "Let go... I want Michael..."

"M-Michael?" he whispered, praying he hadn't heard you right. You tried to walk away from him again, but he wouldn't let go.

And you lost it.

"Let go, Calum! I want Michael!" you all but screamed, the break in your voice ringing loudly in his ears. The few students still scattered throughout the hallway look over to find you struggling to get away from Calum.

"Mike!" one of the kids at the end of the hallway hollered.

You couldn't see Michael, but you did see the kid motion toward you just before the blonde popped out from around the corner. And the expression on his face immediately turned sour when he saw you with Calum.

Upon noticing an angry-looking Michael now walking toward you, Calum had no choice but to release you. He watched as you hurried away from him, meeting Michael halfway down the hall.

The moment you were with him, your face was buried in his neck and his arms were around you, hugging you tightly. He saw Michael's mouth move to what appeared to be the words 'Are you okay?' as he rubbed your spine with his thumb, followed by your barely noticeable shake of the head.

Michael glanced back up, only to shoot a glare at Calum before turning back to you and murmuring something in your ear. When you lifted yourself off of him, he wrapped an arm around your waist and took you in the opposite direction, away from where Calum was still standing and watching you.
