Hanging Tree

Chapter 14

Calum

Ashton drove all of us home. Dropping off me and Michael and then Luke. The whole car ride was spent talking about our gig. I had to admit, it was pretty fucking amazing. The crowd was brilliant. Everyone kept on shouting and screaming eventhough they hardly knew us. I honestly expected the show to be a lot more worse. I expected people to be like, "Who the hell are these people? They have crap music," and stuff. But to my surpirse, they weren't.

Violet was going to be coming over soon. In fact, I saw Eliot's car drive up just as Ashton dropped us off. Violet bid goodbye to Eliot and walked over to me and Michael. She had a bag over her shoulder, I guess she went home and got her clothes and then came here. "Hey," she greeted both me and Michael. I smiled at her as she walked in. Michael said something which I couldn't quite hear. Violet went up the stairs and into my room I assume. I was glad she treated this place like her own. I locked up and went upstairs as well.

Violet was laying on my bed and just staring up at my ceiling. "You alright?" I asked her and I walked over to my closet.

"Mmm," she mumbled. I got out my clothes and looked at her. "You sure?"

She smiled and said, "Yes, Calum. Now go take a shower. You stink. I'm going down to watch some TV or something okay?" And with that she got out of bed and went downstairs. I smiled to myself and walked into the shower.

I turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up. I looked at myself in the mirror. I can't even believe how much I've changed. The water soon started heating up so I decided to step in. I could feel my muscles loosen up as the hot water streamed down my body.

Once I was finally done, I walked out wearing a pair of sweatpants and being shirtless. I was fixing my hair when I heard someone knock on the door. "Come in," I called out.

A cute little Violet peeped in and then walked in. I turned around to look at her. I saw her cheeks going pink but I honestly didn't know why. "Why are you blushing?" I asked her.

She smiled shyly at me and said, "Nothing."

Then why was she blushing? I looked down at myself then realized I wasn't wearing a shirt. I chuckled and said, "I can put a shirt on you know."

She turned away and said, "It's okay."

I couldn't help but laugh at her. She turned to me and frowned. "Don't laugh at me."

This only caused me to laugh more.

Violet pouted and said, "Meanie."

I walked over to her and hugged her. "Awwh. Don't be sad."

I felt her chuckle under my grip.

"You know, you promised me something," I reminded her.

"I don't remember anything," I knew Violet was lying.

"Are you sure you don't?" I asked her.

"Nope not at all," I knew she was smiling without even looking at her.

"Maybe if I were to tickle you, then you would remember."

"Shit." I heard Violet curse.

I laughed and she finally said, "Alright. I remember."

I looked down at her to find her looking up at me. I gave her a cheeky smile while she rolled her eyes. I leaned closer to me and she did the same. I could feel her breath on my lips right before they touched.

Our lips moved in sync. They molded together perfectly just as if we were made for each other. Her lips were so soft and plum. It felt amazing against mine. I couldn't help but smile into our kiss.

Like all kisses, our had to end. I wish it didn't have to though. We pulled away and looked at each other. She stared into my caramel coloured eyes while I looked into her ocean blue ones. She's really really beautiful. I just wish she knew.

"What?" Violet asked.

"You're beautiful," I whispered.

She turned a bright shade of pink and turned away.

I brought her to look at me and said, "You really are."

I gave her a quick kiss and pulled away.

"Let's watch a movie or something," I suggest.

She nodded and went over to my bed. She made herself comfortable and waited for me to choose the movie.

"How about Avengers?" I asked.

She shurgged her shoulders and nodded at me. I put in the movie and went over to my bed. Once I got in Violet quickly rolled closer to me and decided to cuddle.

Half way through the movie, I realized Violet was already asleep. I decided to turn the movie off and also the lights. I drapped a blanket over us and soon fell asleep with Violet next to me.
