Band practice end pretty much as soon as it had started. Ashton broke one of this drums hitting it too hard in anger and then stormed off since he couldn't get a grip off his emotions. Michael had wanted to go after him but that was normally Luke's job but the other two just let him saying that could managed without drums, like they had before Ashton joined. 

That continued for one whole song until Calum walked over to Luke and accidentally stepped on his foot causing hell to break lose. Luke blamed Calum and argued that he had done it on purpose before glaring and storming off stage in the opposite direction. Calum had let out a huff before leaving somewhere else that was near Luke or Ashton. Michael just stood there and watched them both go and looked at the sound check people and shrugged. Glad that no one was there to witness it other than the stage crew.

There was not a lot he could do other than try to find all three of them and get them to come back. If they didn't know where each other where standing on stage and where the lighting needed to be position it could end in a serious accident. Putting his guitar down on the stand, he decided find Ashton first since he would be less likely to cause something to get them caught.

Technically they weren't dating but Michael assumed that he may think so but he was the least likely to make a move on him. On his way he questioned whether they had found out about him being with all of them but he pushed that to the back of his mind. They would have confronting him by now. It was probably over a broken mug or a stolen pair of underpants.

Its normally Luke that does those things but accident but knowing those three all having there personal opinions its probably created a large problem. Something that always stems from something small which could be cleared up by a simple apology yet one of them wishes not to. Looking at the doors to the rooms he questioned where he would hide knowing that's what Ashton would probably be doing. An extra thought crossed his mind that it could be that Ashton was having a bad time again to put it lightly which Michael hoped he wasn't. It had been ages since he last self harmed and I don't want him to start doing it again.

Walking aimlessly through the corridors he spot a glimpse of someone or something at the edge of a room. Back turn to him. Taking two steps back he could work out it was Ash due to the long hair.  Michael carefully crept towards him. He didn't want to making him angry but he didn't want to see him cry. That was always hard with any of the boys. Seeing them cry made Michael want to cry. Thats probably one of the main reason why he hasn't chosen his one and only. "Ash" He asked cautiously. Ashton looked up and gather this thoughts quickly. His anger and sadness disappearing when he saw it was Michael only. 

He hoped that Mikey had come to look for him first because of everything between them in comparison to Luke or Calum. After all he was better than those two anyway, even if fans shipped 'muke' more.  "Hey Mike" Ashton said as Michael sat down next to him. "You want to tell me what's up or do I have to ask Luke or Cal" Mikey questioned.  "The usual someone broke something and those two don't want to admit it was them" Ashton lied back. He decide it would be better than the truth, after all how can you tell a guy it was over him three timing or cheating. It may not even be classed as cheating since he was exactly dating any of them. They hadn't made anything official. 

"Okay, don't worry so much about it. Just came back up and we can practice together without the others" Mikey suggested. They did need to get some practice in to make sure the lights and instruments are all correct. "I guess" Ash said with a shrug, "or we can go do something else" he added with a wink. "Later" Michael promised praying what Ashton was implying was not at all sexual. 

He couldn't deal with that not until he had fixed the band to be able to play on stage. Being on stage was the only place Mikey felt confident. Up there he wasn't a liar who was cheating on this best mates, if Mikey could even call them that still. He was Michael Gordon Clifford. And the fans could only judge how him was when he met them or saw him performing on stage. 

 He pushing himself up to his feet and held his hand out to Ash. Ash took it gently and Michael helped to pulling him to his feet. As soon as Ashton was standing Michael went to let go but Ashton entwined his fingers, leaving Michael stuck. He couldn't exactly pull away, but the last thing he want to do was bump in to Luke or worse Calum. Mainly because Michael thought Calum was more into him than Luke. Crossing the fingers on his other hand that they wouldn't bump either of them, he left the room with Ashton and head back the way he came. To the stage, where he hoped the other two would join if they heard the drummer and the guitarist playing.
