Scarred For Life

Chapter 8

Danielle's Point of View

It was currently.... 3:05am and I was still up wide awake thinking about Calum's offer about going on tour with him and the boys. I honestly don't know if I want to go. I mean yeah it would be great to get away from everything here but, I've literally just made up from the boys and I've only got to know them for a few weeks.What if something goes wrong and I end up getting beaten up or something.

After about another half hour of thinking. I knew what my decision was. Knowing Calum he would normally be awake right now, so so I wouldn't forget about what I was gonna tell him in detail and because I just want a cuddle, I went through into his room. The boys were over tonight and I didn't wanna wake them because they are dead grumpy when they are tired. I lightly knocked on his door and opened it up.

"Calum...?" I whispered closing the door behind me gently. He was asleep, but I just got into his bed anyway. It was really warm and toasty. After a while I felt his arm go over my waist.

"What are you doing here?" He mumbled.

"I needed to talk to you"

"Could it not wait until morning?"

"No, it's about the tour..."

He rubbed his eyes and turned on the side lamp and his dark iris met mine. "what about it?"

I sat up and sighed "I've really been thinking about it and I would love to go to get a change of scenery and away from everything here, but I'm just starting to trust you guys and I don't want to rush it and I don't want anything bad happening to me while we're away..."

He sat up also giving me a hug, his warm chest hitting my face as he rubbed my back "Nothing's gonna happen to you"

"That's why I'm coming with you.."

He moved his head back furrowing his eye brows "really?"

"Yeah... only if you want me though" I smiled.

"Of course we do Dani" he smiled back.

I mentally cringed, him calling me Dani just brought back bad memories, but I didn't tell him that, I just shrugged it off and gave him a smile. He smiled and stared at me for a while.

"What?" I giggled.

"This is gonna should stupid but I... I really wanna kiss you right now" he said whispering the last part.

I looked down because I could feel my cheeks start to blush, I then looked back up at him. At least he told me this time. "so kiss me..."

He smiled before leaning in and gently kissing me. I wasn't bothered about what time it was or the fact that Calum was my bully. I just really liked kissing him , it just made me feel safe and gave me a nice warm feeling.

In about 3rd grade me and Calum used to be best friends. Our parents were friends and it kinda went down to us. In 5th grade I developed a crush on him. He was just such a sweet caring boy and I trusted him with my life. It was in 8th grade when he decided to join the band with Luke, Michael and Ashton, and since then he's just turned into someone totally different. He then decided I was gonna be his punchbag he started avoiding me, ignoring me, calling me names. It kept getting worse and it became a habit.

I don't know what I'm doing here in his house, in his room, on his bed kissing him. But this voice in my head keeps saying I should just forgive and forget but, there's another saying to get up and leave.

"I think we should go to bed now" he whispers as our foreheads press against each other. I nod and giggle. We lay back on his bed, my head resting on his chest.
