Chapter 8

Today is the day for battle of the bands, I couldn't be more excited. I'm a bit nervous that they might call us the Australian wannabe boy band, we are in no way a boy band. We are just a group of guys from Sydney who knew they wanted music in their lives and we got that by playing with each other. We wanted to achieve something and we are by doing this. 

"Alright babe I'm ready to go" I said as she ran down the stairs and pecked my lips. I picked her up and pinned her against the wall as she laughed. 

"Mikey, no you're not, you wore this yesterday" she chuckled as I wiggled my eyebrows. 

"I'm only changing if you change" I said kissing down her neck and unbuttoning her flannel. "And I could help you with that" I said as she giggled. 

"Mikey, you have twenty minutes till you have to be there" she groaned as I chuckled against her skin. 

"I only need ten baby, come on you're not gonna give me any good luck" I said as she rolled her eyes playfully. 

"do you always think about sex?" She asked huffing as she played with my hair. 

"Maybe" I winked kissing her jawline, "but only" I pause kissing her again. "With you" I crash our lips together as she stiffens but kisses me back. 

--

"Michael? Where were you?" Calum asked me. 

"Uhhh..." I trailed off as they could all see Crystal's face go red. 

"And you! Chrissy, I counted on you to make sure this asshole got here" Ashton said to Crystal as he crossed his arms. 

"Sorry Ash, we got into some traffic on the way here" she covered up quickly as his face softened, he just shook his head and walked away. 

"Thank you" I mouthed to her and I squeezed her hand as she let out a chuckle. 

"Hey Luke" Crystal said letting go of my hand and hugging him. He looked right at me and smelled her hair and his hand trailed down her back, I felt my blood fume, I started to walk away as she let him go. 

Crystal's Pov:

"Luke what did you do?" I said seeing Michael walking away with his fists clenched. 

"I didn't do anything" he smirked as I balled up his shirt in my hand. 

"Luke I don't give a shit if your jealous that I'm with Michael, Michael is a much better guy than you'll ever be. All you like to do is manipulate people for your own amusement, I am so done with your shit Luke!" I said irritated, he needs to get this through his head. 

"I don't get you, when I finally have feelings for you, you push them away like there nothing! Feelings aren't that easy to take back I mean you should know that better than anyone Crystal" he raised his voice as I felt like shriveling into a ball. 

"Luke you know better than anyone! You know how you're not supposed to bring it up!" I said as I felt a few tears coming down my cheeks. He looked at me with sympathy, but then it quickly changed. 

"How should I know you still hurt about that? It's stupid Crystal-" he said as I cut him off. 

"Don't you dare talk about it" I ordered hanging my head low. "Luke just because we were friends before you were popular, doesn't mean we're friends now" I looked into his ocean blue eyes and all I felt was emptiness, as much as I love Michael it hurts Luke so much to see me loving someone else. 

"And what do you think about lover boy there? Do you think once you step on campus tomorrow he's gonna hold your hand and laugh with you? No he won't! Get over it Crystal, you know as well as I do that he's gonna treat you the same way he does, like a NOBODY" he empathized the word I hated to hear, this word is the reason I hide who I am, I am the Radio Rebel. 

"You haven't known him as long as I have, he wouldn't do that to me" even I didn't believe half the words that just came out of my mouth, I think Luke sensed that. 

"Don't come crying to me when he doesn't, at least I'm popular and don't give a shit who people think I hang around" he said walking away, maybe he's right. 

--

"Mikey!" I screamed after their performance, I ran up to him and he caught me into his arms as Luke scoffed.  

"Hey baby" he kissed my forehead. 

"Ew wait you're all sweaty" I said trying to push him off of me but he held me tighter. 

"Now you are too" he chuckled putting my feet flat on the ground. Ashton picked me up from behind and wiped his face on my shirt.

"Sweat buddies!" He yelled as I squealed I pushed him off of me and wiped the sweat back on him. 

"Ugh I think I wanna take a shower" I groan, I feel so disgusting. 

"How about I join you" Luke and Michael both say, I roll my eyes and start walk to the car. 

"Chrissy, baby, tell me what's wrong" Michael said running up behind me and stopping me. 

"I need you to answer a question, and you have to answer it honestly Michael" if I said that what Luke told me earlier didn't bug me I'd be lying, what if he doesn't want to be seen with me??

"Yeah babe, anything" he asked as I bit my lip and fiddled with my fingers. 

"So uh, you know how we're together and stuff, um is everything gonna be the same when we go back to school tomorrow?" I said playing with my hair. 

"Yeah" he paused as I felt so happy. "Well I mean like after school or off campus" he said as I felt my heart sink into my chest. 

"Luke was right" I whispered. 

"Crystal what are you talking about? Why are you listening to him?!" He said angrily. 

"I listen to him because we used to be friends! And he also isn't embarrassed to be seen around me either! Admit it you still see me as a joke!" I yelled as he face turned red. 

"Crystal me and Luke are on different social levels" he said simply. 

"Great excuse Michael, you complained about not being happy with just one night stands and you finally get the girl, but you're willing to just throw it all away just because of your reputation?!" I raise my voice as he starts pulling at his hair. 

"What about yours huh? Miss Nobody, Miss Daughter of the Murderer, Miss Jet Black Heart, Miss Adopted, Miss Nobody No one Ever, Ever wanted!" He screamed in my face as I felt every bone in my body break. I felt tears going down my face and I wiped my face hashly and nodded. 

"Everyone is the same, Right? They all share the same hatred for my parents and they honestly think I'm the same way! Wanna see these Michael huh?" I paused pulling up my jacket sleeves showing off my scars, some fresh, others simply fading. "I'm Suicidal, not Homicidal, when the old ones fade I make fresh ones, and their all caused by people like you! The ones who hate me by what my parents did!" I said as he tried to come closer to me but I backed away. 

"I didn't mean it like that-" he whispered as I cut him off. 

"I know what you meant" I whispered as he face sank. "Michael, I'm sick of people being ashamed of me and to know you are too hurts so much. If you would've told me you were ashamed of me before I wouldn't have fallen for you, and we wouldn't be here right now" I said as he tried to take my hands but I shooed them away. 

"Why are you being so cold? I'm trying to let you down easy" he said as I mentally slapped myself, I can't believe I thought he cared, he was just using me. 

"Letting me down easy Michael! Are you serious!" I yelled. 

"That's not what I meant" he said again. 

"Yes it was, is that all I am to you? Some other girl, some other one night stand, I mean come on Michael, you can't be serious!" I said as tears started to stain my cheeks, his face softened as mine grew with anger. 

"Chrissy I-" he said as I cut him off. 

"Don't call me that" I said harshly turning my back to him. "I can't keep doing this Michael, it's me or your reputation" I say as tears go down my face, I turn to him and his head hung low. 

"Crystal, I....."
