"Oi! Stop it!" Ashton yelled as someone threw a drink at Calum's head. Ashton stood by his side as if he was Calum's bodyguard. He grabbed Calum by the arm and dragged him towards their car. Ashton usually wouldn't push people out of the way, but now that his best friend was hurt he didn't care one bit.

They were surrounded by mean fisty people and lots of paparazzi after Calum's nudes had been leaked.

Calum was broken after that news. He went online after their show in Italy to check his social media. He saw the posts that people were spreading on the internet. It were his nudes! His nudes he had send to his girlfriend!

Lucy had used Calum over the time that they were dating. She manipulated him into smoking and doing other bad stuff to him. She was overall a bad influence. Calum just had to listen to Ashton. Calum felt dumb, useless, exposed and depressed. Lucy had Calum wrapped around her finger so well. Calum believed everything she said, she made him so happy when in the end she had hurted him so much. Calum was so lonely at the beginning but when he met Lucy, he had a little bit of motivation in the back of his head. She always listened to his stories when in reality..she didn't give a shit. The worst part Calum doesn't want to believe is that fact that she didn't ever love him the same way he did. He felt lost without her for some reason.

Ashton gently pushed Calum in the back of the car and got himself in right after.

"Go!" Ashton said to the driver while his veins were popping out.

Calum didn't know what to say. He felt embarrased to even talk to Ashton. He didn't deserve Ashton.

Ashton then looked at Calum who was playing with his fingers and looking down at his hands.

"You'll be okay.." Ashton said softly. Calum looked up at Ashton. "I will never be okay" Calum said queitly.

Ashton shook his head "you will be Cal, it was just a mistake..people forget about it" Ashton said as he sat a little closer.

Calum just shook his head. "It will forever be on the internet" Calum said and sighed being on the brim of tears.

"Don't overthink Cal, it's not healthy" Ashton said. It was queite for a bit when Calum spoke again "i should've listened to you..you're always right remember..you're always so freaking perfect" Calum said as a tear slipped down his face.

Ashton felt his heart ache. "And what did i say back at camp? That you should never compare yourself to others Cal, besides don't let your failures in the past influence the way you feel now...you're amazing" Ashton said and grabbed Calum's hand.

"I'm not Ashton, the fans don't even like me, these people outside just now don't like me at all, my now ex-girlfriend turned out to not love me at all..she never felt the same" Calum said.

"The fans do love you, you only see the bad, those people outside can fuck off and so can Lucy..she didn't deserve you anyways Cal...you're an amazing human being with wonderfull talents" Ashton said as he squeezed Calum's hand thigter.

Calum looked out the window and then back to Ashton. "What talents do i have?" Calum asked. "You can play bass like a boss, you can play piano and guitar, you can sing like an angel, you're REALLY REALLY REALLY good at songwriting and...i really miss my favourite talent which was your smile..you always cheered people up with your smile and even yourself" Ashton said as Calum looked away.

"What happened?" Ashton asked softly as he gently grabbed Calum's face. "...Anxiety...Depression...failure" Calum whispered. "Overall just feelings really" Calum said and smiled, but not in a good way. He wipped away some tears from falling down.

"Remember that you're a good guy Calum and anyone would be very very lucky to date you, the fans love you to death and so do the boys...you're amazing..even when you smoke..even when you're sad...besides even when you're really mad..you always stomp your feet" Ashton said and chuckeled, he actually thought it was very cute. This made a small smile appear on Calum's face.

Ashton wrapped his arms around Calum in a secure manner and Calum layed his head down in Ashton's chest. At that very moment he knew he wanted to be in his arms forever and ever. He felt save when he was with Ashton, like nothing could hurt him for a few minutes or so.

But Calum knew that he always will be seen as Ashton's bestfriend
