Sink or Swim | Calum Hood Punk

Chapter 7

Summer's POV

I walk to my car after saying goodbye to Calum. As I am driving home I tend to think about Calum.

I'm not sure if I believe every detail Calum had told me but I believe it to an extent. Now that I know a little more about him he seems nice enough.

I mean if I had to be around him for band practices or something like that I could handle him. I know Luke wouldn't do something he didn't think was right. So that means if he thinks Calum is a good mate then I'll trust him.

The next morning arrives and the sun shines through my bedroom window, I check alarm on my bedside table and its 2:06 in the afternoon "I must've been tired" I mumble to myself.

I get up slowly my head still groggy, I look at my reflection in the mirror in my room and let me tell you I look like absolute crap. I'm still in the clothes that I had on yesterday, I have black makeup smeared on my cheeks. To top that my hair is greasy.

After analyzing myself in the mirror for a couple minutes I decide I would have a shower and get ready to have a talk with the boys, even though they have seen me at my worst im not sure if I feel comfortable in front of Calum.

When I get out of the shower I have multiple text messages from Luke asking when I was coming witch means Calum obviously told him about the chat I wanted to have.

I tell him I would be there by 4, because it's already 3:30 and I have just enough time before I head to Luke's house because it was pretty close to my house.

I'm done my hair and makeup by 3:50 and I have just enough time to get to Luke's house where all of the boys will be waiting. Wow, this is going to be interesting.

I grab my car keys off my kitchen counter and yell goodbye to my dad, I walk out the door and unlock my car walking towards the car. I hop in and pull out of my driveway zooming down the surprisingly empty roads.

I arrive at Luke's house a few minutes later fixing my appearance before getting out of the car and walking into Luke's house. You see we have this thing were we have known eachother log enough to just let ourselves into one an others house.

I walk down to the basement knowing that's where they would be, "Luke im here" I call out. I see ashton sitting on the couch as my foot hit the bottom step. Luke walks towards me putting his arms out for a hug but I just take a step back and head to the couch with Ashton. Luke just stays there scratching his head in confusion.

"Guys im sorr" I got cut off in the middle of my sentence by Michael " No we are sorry, we should have told you" Michael frowns.

"No, no it's fine, it's also my fault for over reacting. I can't tell you how sorry I am for embarrassing you in front of 300 people" I say tears threatening to come out. "322 to be exact" Ashton says in a joking matter while Calum gives daggers.

I looked at Calum giving him a smile following by me rolling my eyes. "Haha" I said sarcastically.

Luke was just standing in the corner awkwardly his feeling obviously hurt, "Luke" I say and he looks up his eyes were a red and there were tears on his cheeks. "I'm so sorry" I said running into his arms giving him a hug.

He acts suprised at first but he wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry" I whispered into his ear meaning it he just said "shh" as he continued to hug me.

I felt uncomfortable because I could feel everyone's eyes on me, I pulled away from the hug. I clap my hands making the boys jump, "So let's talk" I frown.

Calum pulls out a piece of paper out of his back pocket. "Calum decided he was going to do something because he thinks he is the one who brought this upon up" Luke says looking at the piece of paper Calum pulled out of his back pocket.

"Oh" is all I manage to say as Calum brings the note to me, I unfold it looking as to what seems like Calums hand writing.

Summer,
You have every right to be mad at me for basically stealing your friends and im sorry for making you upset. When I got to this school I hated it, the only thing that made it interesting was talking to Michael, Luke, and Ashton. I'm not the guy that just goes around having a one night stand with every girl like I explained the other night. But I want you to let me show you that im not the person people think I am. Don't hate me, maybe we can hang out together sometime but I'm truly sorry for making you upset and I hope we can get passed that and get to know one another.

Calum
October 24 2014

I read the letter a couple of times before finally deciding to talk. "C-can you give us a minute" I ask looking at the others who were sitting on the couch chatting amongst themselves.

They nod in agreement standing up an walking upstairs. I wait until I hear the front door shut until I start talking to Calum.

I look at him and then the note and then back at him not knowing what to say.

"Thank you" was all I managed to say being totally clueless in this particular moment.

"It's not very good but it's all I could write" Calum says. "It's perfect the way it is, it's the thought that counts" I smile. Calum's face lights up as I say that.

"So can I go get the other boys?" Calums questions I nod and sit down on the couch as Calum goes to get the boys.

They all return a couple minutes later with bright smiles plastered on their faces, they are all laughing. I want to question it but I decide against it.

"I should go" I say to them. They all frown but they understand. I stand up heading to my car I hear footsteps behind me but don't bother to look.

"Please wait " I hear Calum's voice beg, I turn around and see that he is standing so close I could smell his minty breath "yeah" I say looking at him in the eyes.

Before I knew it his lips came crashing into mine out of no where.
