Good Girl

Chapter 9

I woke up at Calum's house, drenched in sweat. I'd almost forgot what happened, what made me uncomfortable in my own skin. I kept twitching and I couldn't sleep. I was alone in a couch and I looked at clock, 3am on a Tuesday and all I wanted was some one to hold me. Then again if someone touched me if probably freak, the only emotions I have are mixed ones.Blended, and then burnt out by discomfort and sobs, no one could ever make me trust them..ever again.

Calum pov

I paced around my room, I couldn't sleep. Not with the girl I care most about in terror because of my so called "best friend", who was a sick sociopath who gave this beautiful woman a life time of trama. He didn't deserve to be in the same city as her, not even the same state, NOT IN THE SAME COUNTRY! He made me want to kill him, torture him, till he understood the pain she felt. I couldn't believe I talked to him once. I walked into the living room, and there was Mack...

"Hey." She was cheerful in her speech but I could see the tears in her eyes,

"Are you ok" I knew the answer. Why am I such an idiot?

"Yeah" her tears and voice crack interrupted her.

"No" I began "you're not." that's what girls wanna here, right?

"Just go"

This one I knew. She wanted me to stay and comfort her, and that I would do.

"Hey come here" I'd been telling her to follow me a lot lately.

"What?"

"You're sleeping in my room"

"I.. cant"

"Why"

"Calum" she explained "I'm uncomfortable in my own skin, I'm not going to be any better in your bed"

I needed to help her. I supported her walking and laid her down in my bed, then laid next to her after she got comfy I asked,

"Is it ok if I pull you closer"

"Um" she pondered "I guess"

I hesitated at first and then pulled her so close there was no space between us. For a while she was tense, then warmed up to me. Her head was rested on my shoulders and I wouldn't sleep. I needed to protect her. I spoke to her softly,

"Mack" she jerked awake

"Yes Calum" she had a sweet voice

"I think... I think that I love you"

She became quiet and then responded

"I like you, not love" she said "but, I'm close"

Yes. I finally got my girl, after she was tortured and beaten down. But I loved her... any day if the year, nothing could change that love.

"What am I going to tell my parents" she continued

"I have no clue"
