Calum Hood:

It's been weeks. No answer from Aviana. I can't do this anymore, she's had enough time to process, and I can't give her up. I need to at least fix our friendship, I've got to do something.

I need one chance, one night, just to show her how much she means to me.

And I know this wasn't the right way to do it, but I needed to call her and talk to her. I need to hear her voice.

"Calum? Hi?"

"Hi, Aviana. I'm so sorry,"

"Hold on a second, Cal, I'm driving home," she responds.

"Av, I just gotta tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I threw that all at you when I got home, and I'm sorry that I ruined our friendship. I miss you so much, I'd do anything just to be able to make things normal again,"

"I miss you too, Calum, and you know how much I love you, but it's just not in that way,"

"I know," I say, disappointed. Nothing had changed, I guess, she still won't give me a chance.

She doesn't answer, so I speak again.

"Av, can I do something with you? Like this weekend? As friends, I promise. It's just been so long since we've both been in the same place for over a few days, and I don't want to waste it. Because I don't know when it'll end, when we'll be leaving again..."

"Calum-"

"Please?" I interrupt.

"Okay, just let me know what and when, I'm almost home,"

And she just hangs up, leaving me there with not much of an answer. What happened to her? What happened to us? Nothing is the same anymore, and I don't know how to fix it.

This depression I've fallen into has led me to some good songwriting, nothing very positive though.

I feel so lost without her, I should have never put our friendship on the line. It's a thousand times more painful now than before. Telling her wasn't worth it, I should've just kept my damn mouth shut.

I throw my phone down. Shit, what am I gonna do now? This is a mess.

She deserves better than me anyways, just look what my selfish actions caused. I'd rather be stuck in the friendzone than not have her at all.

How do I make it up to her? Maybe I should have said something sooner, but that could have just made it worse. I guess I'll never know.

I'm sorry, Av. I hope you understand that I mean it. Just give me one night to show you so.
