Calum Hood's Secret Sister

Chapter 34

Josh's point of view

*unedited because I am a crappy writer and have so many other things to do, so I apologize.*

I wasn't planning on going shopping with them since I thought they'd like some time alone, but Michael convinced me to go. My parents didn't care, I was out of their hair for awhile longer, so it was a win for them and a win for me.

I was now walking with Catherine and Ashton as they looked for something for me. I said I didn't want anything, that I didn't need anything, but they weren't having any of it.

"No, you're our new friend. You're getting something. Everyone is. We got money, let us buy you something. Actually, we are buying you something. You have no say in it, now c'mon." Catherine had said with a laugh at the end.

I smiled to myself and then looked up as fingers snapped in front of my face. "Do you think that this would fit you?" Catehrine asked and I looked at the shirt she had.

"It looks big," I said truthfully and then mentally slapped myself. "But it's fine, I always wear big clothes." I said, not wanting to sound picky.

"See Ash! I told you! Josh is smaller than this. This would fit Luke." Cat said and Ash put his hands up in defense. I chuckled quietly and so did Ashton.

"This would fit you, a small." She said and put it against my stomach. "Looks perfect, want to go try it on?" She asked and I took the shirt from her with a nod.

I went to the dressing room and placed the shirt on a rack. I took the black one I was wearing off and grimaced as I saw myself shirtless in the mirror.

I quickly put the shirt on and even as a small, it was still a bit big. I put my wrists behind my back as I walked out since I didn't have a jacket or bracelets on and Cat nodded.

"It's perfect," she said. "Go change out of it and give it to me, I'll go get more in this size." She said before Ashton could turn around.

Deciding not to argue with her, I put my arms in front of me and went to the cubicle again. I changed my shirts and sighed as I covered my hands with my sleeves.

I was a small and this shirt was a large. It was huge so I could cover my hands and it usually ended up as an off the shoulder shirt. It always showed my collarbones and my shoulders.

I handed her the white shirt with a smiley on it and she took it. Ashton walked up to me and gave me a smile. "Don't think I didn't see that," he said quickly and I tensed and actually stopped breathing.

"What did you see?" I asked him and he stopped us from walking.

"Your wrists," he said quietly. "But don't worry, I won't tell, I swear. Just know it gets better Josh. I went through the same thing, I know it gets better. Just hang in there, okay?" He said as he slung an arm over my shoulders.

I nodded and he walked us over to Cat. "You really don't have to buy me anything," I told them and she shrugged. He had one tank-top, one short sleeved shirt, and like three long sleeves.

The only ones that seemed like they'd fit me were the ones that showed my arms. The long sleeves seemed bigger, which made me smile a bit. She's observant.

"Shh, I told you, we're buying you something. You're my new friend and I always buy my friends soemthing. I bought Kelsey hair dye after like seven days of knowing her, and we became best friends." She said and I nodded.

"You haven't bought me anything," Ashton pouted and she laughed. I chuckled and watched as she turned around and looked at him.

"You stay the night a lot, eat all my food, and wake me up unharmed. I think that's enough." She said and he rolled his eyes. "But if you want, I can buy you some condoms. Might need them for tour."

"I don't have a girlfriend," he said confused.

"But you'll get one," she said. "Or maybe some one night stands, I dunno the life of a rockstar." She and the  looked at me. "You like baggy long sleeves?"

"It doesn't matter," I said, she gave me that look and I sighed. "Yeah, I do."

It was that look girls always give when they want an answer other than 'sure' or 'doesn't matter'. My mum used to give it to me, but that was back when she actually cared.

"Got some," she said, holing up a black, white, and grey and black one. "Let's go pay for them, and don't say anything about the price, okay?" She said and pointed at me.

I nodded and Ash chuckled as we walkes to the register. There were people there so we waited a bit. She paid for the shirts and had Ashton cover my eyes so I don't freak out over the price.

"How much?" I asked as she handed me the bag. She grabbed the receipt and shoved it in her pocket, causing me to sigh. "Fine," I huffed and she messed my hair up saying, 'don't worry about it'.

"They said meet them at the food court," Ashton said, swinging the bags he had in the direction of the food court. He was holding his own bag and one for the others. Cat was holding her own bag aswell as I was.

"Kelsey!" Cat yelled as she saw a girl. The girl turned around and ran up to her. "Oh my god I missed you, baby. It's been forever."

"I know! Oh my god don't ever leave me again." Kelsey said and they shared a very over dramatic hug. Ashton nudged me and motioned me to follow him, which I did.

"Decided to spoil yourself, didn't you Ash?" I heard Michael said and I chuckled as he eyed the two bags in Ashton's hands. Me and Michael literally had the same thing on, except he had a snap back, and I didn't.

"These are for you guys since Cat made me buy you something. Something about friendship and homoness, I dunno." Ashton said and handed them the bag.

I stiffled a laugh as I remember what she had picked out for the band. Ashton had a tank-top that said 'I fancy the lead singer' and Luke had a shirt that said 'I like the guitarist'. Calum had a shirt that said 'I prefer the drummer' and Luke's shirt said 'I love the bassist'.

It took forever to find the right shirts but we did and it was totally worth it. "Aww you got them all matching shirts!" I heard Kelsey say and I bursted out laughing with Catherine.

"We should wear this in our next interview," Calum said and me, Cat, and Kelsey agreed. "We'd look sexy."

"And it's time for me to go, c'on Josh and Kelsey." Cat said and dragged us away from him. We all laughed a bit and tyejnshe stopes dragging us after a few steps.

"You guys are such idiots," I joked and Cat nodded.

"But you love us," she teased and booped my nose. I blushed a bit at the action and Kelsey nudged me.

Yeah, I like one of you a little more than I should...
