Scarred For Life

Chapter 9

Danielle's Point if View

I started to kiss him back. I don't know why. I hated Calum, I hated him so much, but right now, I just... I guess I loved him....

No, no you don't Danielle.

I placed my hands on his chest and gently pushing him back "stop doing that..."

"Doing what..?"

"Kissing me, and expecting everything to be okay"

He sighed "I'm sor--" I gave him a glare and he smiled a little.

"Listen, I like you Calum. I like you a lot. Okay? I can't deny that, but ... this doesn't feel right. You made me feel terrible for years I can't just accept you this quick"

He nodded slowly. "I understand..."

I kissed his cheek. "Do you wanna go back upstairs?"

He nodded as I smile taking his hand and walking back upstairs. I got into his bed as he followed behind closing the door and laying next to me.

"Just to let you know. I will wait. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait." he told me.

He was so sweet sometimes.

"All right, Cal" I half smiled, he giggled " go to bed you dork"

He laughed lightly as I rested my head on his chest. He reached for the remote on the bedside table, turning the TV on. It started playing a movie I didn't know what movie it was, as I slowly fell asleep.

----

I woke up the next morning, facing away from Calum. I opened my eyes up slowly covering my mouth as I yawned. I rubbed my eyes and turned to see Calum still asleep. His head was buried under the covers and I could hear faint snores coming from his mouth. I lifted up the cover after from his face so he could breathe. I then took my phone from the bedside table on my side and look at the time. it was 11:45am. Not too late, considering we went to bed at like 6 last night.

I lifted up the covers off myself to get up out if bed but Calum pulled me back down.

"Stay..." he mumbled. I lightly giggled to myself.

"I have to go downstairs, the boys are probably wondering why we are sleeping in so late"

He groaned "fuck them, cuddle with me for another hour"

"Sorry Cal" I giggled wriggling free from his grasp. I put on my zipper and headed downstairs. I saw the boys all sitting at the island eating breakfast and their phones.

"So un sociable" I sighed plopping down next to Ashton as Luke giggled. "What? You are."

"And why are you up so late?" Michael asked.

"I was up all night with Calum" I said about to take a spoonful of Ashton's cereal but he slapped my hand away.

"Get your own!" He hissed. I stuck my tongue out at him as he stuck it back , and giggled. As I looked back at Michael he gave me a look . The 'did you fuck him?' Look.

"No, we did not have sex" I sighed taking a bowl from the cabinet and pouring myself a bowl of cereal before adding some milk "we were just talking, about the tour"

"Oh ... " He said.

I turned back around with my bowl of cereal and looked at them. I took a spoonful, slurping up the milk that was dripping from the corners of my mouth. I looked at the boys as they waited or me to keep on talking. "what?"

"Sooo... about the tour?" Luke said raising his eye brows.

"Oh...! I'm coming with you"

"No, shit?" Michael asks wide eyed.

"No shit" I smile and he engulfs me into a hug jumping up and down.

"Yay! I can't wait. And we can have fun and make up for all of the times we... "

He stopped putting me down clearing his throat.

"I'm sure we will. But don't bring up that, it's in the past" I smiled. He smiled back and nodded.

"I'm so excited !" Ashton squealed making us all giggle.

What normally happens on a tour? I think to myself. I dunno but hopefully it'll be good.

"Can we do something today? I'm going back to school tomorrow and I'm bored" I sighed.

"Emm... how about we go to the beach?" Luke suggests.

There is a chorus of yeses me included.

"Guess we're going to the beach then" I smile. "I'll go and wake up Calum"

I run up the steps, two at a time, barging into Calum's room. He was still in bed as I jumped on top of him.

"Calum get up! We're going to the beach"

He groaned shaking me off him making me land next to him. "go away!"

"Nooooo!" I whined poking his side slightly "I wanna go to the beach"

He turned around so he was facing me "and what if I don't want to go..."

I sighed squinting my eyes slightly as I thought. I then leaned in giving him a kiss.

"Then you won't get anymore of that." I grinned.

"So if I come... then I will?"

"Just get up Calum!" I laughed getting up.

----

The beach wasn't that full surprisingly, it was quite sunny out. I wore a white tank top with blue high wasted shorts, my bikini underneath. My scars on my legs and my stomach weren't so visible anymore, and I was so thankful for that. You can only see some on my arms but, nobody is really gonna see them.

I also wore my white flip-flops and my hair up on a messy bun.

We found a nice spot not too close to the sea. Michael and Ashton lay two blankets down big enough for us all. I lay down in between Luke and Calum. I took off my top and slipped off my shorts. I put on sun cream before laying down and closing my eyes.

"What do you think your doing ?" Luke asked.

I opened up one of my eyes looking at him. "What do you think? Getting a tan" I closed my eye and went back to my tanning.

"I don't think so..." Calum says lifting me up and putting me over his shoulder.

I hear the rest of the boys laugh as Calum starts running towards the water.

"Put me down!" I yell pounding on his back.

All I hear is him laughing. I look up and see the rest I the boys running after us.

I then fell the water splash up my legs then I'm dropped into the water.

"Calum!" I shriek.

He stands there cracking up. I go over and pull him on the water with me, laughing too.

"How do you like dem apples huh?!" I laugh.

Luke comes over slashing water all over me as does Ashton and Michael and Calum joins in.

"Okay, cos four against one is so fair!" I say sarcastically.

----

After a good splash about in the water we were drying up by the blankets. It was about 3 pm now.

"Can we go get some ice-cream? I'm fucking starving!" Michael groans.

"Yes, but enough of the swearing" Ashton warns him , making me giggle.

"Shit!" I shriek, ducking behind Calum.

"Danielle!" Ashton yells.

"Shut up Ashton !" I yell back him.

Calum looks down at me with a confused face. "What is with you Danielle?"

I look at him my eyes starting to tear up "I didn't think they'd find me...." I whimper.

"Who?"

"My parents..."
