Chapter 15

Audrey's POV

Running down the hall, I ignored Calum as he shouted my name. Getting to the door, I threw it opened and screamed loudly in horror.

I watched horrified as Adam grabbed Marisa's cheeks and connected their lips. Her eyes went wide as she pushed against his chest.

Turning, I tried to stop him from seeing but it was too late. Calum stood looking horrified and pissed at what he was staring at.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Marisa asked as she finally shoved Adam away.

"What's the fucks wrong with you?" Calum asked her.

Her eyes went wide as she turned and looked at him. I watched as I saw tears prickle in her hazel eyes.

"Cal-Calum." She said. "It's not what it looks like. I know thats stereotypical but I swear it's not." She tried, but she knew that it wouldn't do any good.

"Than enlighten me. Because it looks like my girlfriend was kissing some jock." Calum said angrily.

"Girlfriend?" Adam said to himself confused.

"I travel 2 thousand miles to bring my girlfriend her damn car like she asked and this is what I come and see." He shook his head. "Whatever. We weren't supposed to last anyways."

With that Calum turned and left the dorm. Marisa took a shaken breath before she rushed after Calum. Leaving me with Adam.

"She-she had a-a-a boyfriend." Adam said shocked.

"Yeah. Yeah she did. They were engaged actually." I hissed angrily.

"I-I didn't know." He looked up at me. I could only roll my eyes.

"Did you even try to ask her?" I asked even though I knew the answer.

He shook his head.

"Well maybe if you got to actually know Marisa than you'd know you fucking selfish ass hole." I growled before I left myself.

-----------------------------------------

Running outside, I found Marisa sitting on the sidewalk ledge. Dried tears stained down her face as she held the ripped chain that used to hang around her neck.

"Marisa..?" I asked as I tried reaching out for her.

"It was already over. It doesn't matter." She said shakily before she got up and slowly walked back up to our room.

Grabbing my phone I dialed Calum's number and he instantly picked up.

"If you're going to tell me she didn't mean it than I'm out of state." He said angrily.

"No. Just please just talk to her about it." I begged.

"No. I saw what I saw. That's all I need." I felt tears well up in my own eyes because Calum didn't know about it yet. Marisa was going to tell him when he arrived.

"Shit." I whispered when Calum hung up.

"Damn idiots!" I said loudly getting stares from some passer by's.

Taking in a deep breath of mid day air, I dialed Calum's number again and like last time he answered instantly.

"Yes?" He growled.

"Can we please meet up Calum? Please?" I practically begged.

His side of the line went silent for a moment or two before he finally agreed as a local cafe. Looking back I made sure Marisa wasn't near me before rushing down the street to the cafe.

-----------------------------------------

Awkward silence filled the air around Calum and I as we sat in a far booth in the back of the small cafe.

"Why did you ask me to come if your not going to yell at me? This is so different from when Kayla takes me somewhere." He mumbled the last part almost inaudibly.

"Because I need to tell you something... something that's really serious." I said lowly.

Interlocking his fingers together he leaned forward. He didn't say anything but his demeanor gave it all away.

"It's about the tattoos." I said sort of bluntly.

"Who's tattoos?" He seemed confused.

I shook my head. "M's."

He sighed annoyed and leaned back. His face was grim and stiff.

"What about them?" His voice was deep and low.

"She's been having bad reactions to them. The doctor thinks the needle they used wasn't washed properly." He nodded telling me he was listening.

"They said if it gets too bad, she'll have to quit volleyball or have the tattoo removed and not be able to play for a couple months." Again he nodded.

My face went solemn as I stared at the Aussie. He wasn't getting the point.

"You don't get it do you?" I asked madder than I was before.

"Yes I do. She's obviously going to get the surgery Audrey. She wouldn't be stupid enough to give up something so important to her."

I shook my head, now avoiding his total glance. "She's not getting the surgery."

He sucked in a thin breath and looked at me. "What?"

I nodded my head. Anger and sadness were all that I felt at the moment now. It wasn't any of my business, but she was my sister and for her to do something so stupid, it just amazes me.

"Why? Why would she do that to herself? When did this start?" His voice was loud, concerned and worried. Very seldom have I ever seen such reactions out of him.

"It wasn't anytime close, more like it happened freshman year of high school when she started dating this kid named Bennet."

-----------------------------------------

Kayla's POV

"You son of a bitch!" I shouted loudly walking into the house. Ashton followed behind just as angry with a loud slam of the front door.

Thankfully Elliot was at Mikey's and Lucy's so he wouldn't be waken from the loud screams from both of us.

"How am I the one at fault? I'm not the one who was flirting with some other guy!" He shouted back just as loud.

"I wasn't fucking flirting Ashton! I was giving the man directions to the damn toilet because he was drunk!" Throwing my purse down, I turned and stared at him.

"He could've asked someone else!" He said walking into the living room.

"Well he didn't so get over yourself!" Pulling out a glass I filled it with water and brought the cold glass to my lips.

"I won't get over myself because I don't need to!" He shouted loudly.

"Yes you fucking do!" I shouted back. Next thing I know, I hear his heavy footsteps stop at the entrance of the kitchen.

"I don't need to calm down when I'm not at fault here." He growled.

"And I am?" I asked sassily. "I don't think I've done anything remotely horrible."

"Yet I have?" He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah." I said bluntly.

"When? All I do is support this family! What do you do? You sit on your ass all day and cheat!" My heart shattered as anger flared throughout my body. But than I shut my eyes and took a deep breath before screaming and slamming the glass onto to ground.

"What are you-" before he could finish his sentence, my hand swiped across his cheek.

"If this is how you think of our relationship, than we're going to have to reconsider getting married." He held his cheek in shock with his mouth wide open.
