February 14

“So you’re just going to leave me. On Valentine’s Day. For work. Again” I hissed into the phone, rolling my eyes as I walked into the studio, giving a small smile and a wave to the young girl at reception. “Look babe, I don’t want to. But I have too. I mean, you’re in the studio anyway, so what’s the big deal?” He huffed back, once again causing me to roll my eyes.

“The deal is I was coming to grab my guitar and record the song I wrote you. But you know what, you can forget it. I don’t even care anymore. Have fun, I’ll see you when you get home, whenever that is” I half yelled as I hung up, collapsing on the couch that sat in the studio. So much anger was inside of me right now, I didn’t know what to do.

I picked up a pillow, throwing it at the wall. I picked up the paper the sat on the table, throwing it on the ground. Anything and everything I could, I either threw it at the wall, or on the ground. I let out a scream as I fell to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest. I didn’t even have tears to cry, I was just so angry. I had given up.

“Uh, are you okay?” I heard a voice above me. I had moved from a ball, to lying face down on the floor, not even bothering to move the paper to which I was now lying on. “I’m fine” I mumbled, lifting my head only slightly before dropping it once more. “Elsa?” The same voice said, I pushed myself up to a sitting position, looking up to the voice.

“The hell are you doing in here, on the floor, surrounded by paper, on Valentine’s Day. Shouldn’t you be out with your fiancé?” He smirked, picking up the paper off the floor. I sat and watched him, hugging my knees once more, resting my chin between them. “Shouldn’t you?” I snapped, instantly giving him an apologetic look.

“She’s on the other side of the world, visiting her family” He sighed, sitting on the table in front of me. “Your turn” He looked at me, eyes full of hurt, pain and anger, with a small smile plastered on his face. “Work” was all I had to say for him to understand, typical eye roll, slight please smirk on his face. This wasn’t the first time. But I loved him. Didn’t I?

“It’s been a long time since we spent valentines together” He half chuckled, a small smile on his face. “The last valentines we spent together, we actually didn’t really. I was in the studio and we spent like 3 hours of it together. Best valentines ever” I chuckled back, thinking back to the last three valentines I’d had. “My valentines seem to be getting worse and worse each year since then” I sighed, shaking my head.

“Well. Let’s make this one not so bad” He smiled, standing up and walking over to the door. “Calum I…” I began, shaking my head. “I promise, strictly friend business” He smiled. I sighed, looking at the room around me, before standing up. “You better make this a good day Hood” I sighed as we walked out the door.

“Where are we going Calum?” I whined, looking at the road ahead. He chuckled, his hands gripping the steering wheel. “You never knew how to be patient did you” I looked at him, a smirk on his face. “You always gave in, in the end” I smirked back, looking once again at the road ahead. Silence filled the car once more, nothing but the car engine and quite sound of music to fill the space.

I stopped at the end of the driveway, hopping out of the car. I looked around, closing the car door. I walked towards the fence, jumping over it. I began to walk down the path, through the sun lit trees. I didn’t know why I was here. Something had pulled me here, forgotten memories that needed to be. For some reason, this is where I wanted to begin. This seemed important.
