Scarred For Life

Chapter 12

Calum's Point of View

I stood there waiting for her response. To be honest I was so scared as to what she was gonna say . She could flip out and hate me forever, although I don't blame her.

"Danielle?" She had just been standing there staring at me for a while.

"Sorry... it's just I... " She pauses and shrugs "I don't know what to feel about you ..."

"Oh..."

She comes over and gives me a hug. "I do like you Cal, I just... I need some time to think about it. Yeah?"

We pull apart and she looks up at me as I nod. "Okay, I'll let you shower now"

She giggles "thanks" she gives me a faint smile as we stare at each other for a bit.

She awkwardly nods as I walk out the door and she closes it. I hear it lock and start to walk out the room. I hear the bathroom door unlock and I turn around and Danielle comes running towards me. Before I can react to anything she smashes her lips against mine. I'm too stunned to do anything, but it's over before I know it and we pull apart.

"Sorry.. I..--" she stuttered.

"Just go shower" I laugh.

She nods and walks away. I stand there smiling to myself for a bit before walking downstairs. I think she likes me too...

"Look at the smile on your face!" Ashton whistles.

I smile sitting down "Just a certain someone.."

They all smirk at each other as I smile happily to myself. I might actually have a chance with her.

----

"Shit!" I heard someone mutter. I then got a strong whiff of something that made me open my eyes. There was Danielle picking up something from the floor. Her hair was in a high pony tail, a pretty hair band keeping the fly always out her face. She had a flowery kimono on with a black top underneath.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting ready for school" she replied in a 'duh' voice. "I smashed my perfume bottle by the way that's why it kinda smells in here, it will for a while. Soz"

I groaned putting my head in the pillow. I don't want to go to school!

----

When we got to school it was pretty empty. Although we did get there quite early since Danielle insisted. It was just us walking down the hall as the other boys went to get food from the canteen.

"Are you gonna be okay today?" I asked her leaning against the lockers as she opened hers up.

She gave me a smile and nodded "Yeah, yeah I think"

I nod and smile back "Okay, well I'm gonna go find the boys, I'll meet you at the gate after school, yeah?"

"Yeah, sure" she smiles as I give her a quick hug and walk down the hall.

Danielle's Point of View

I really didn't want to go back to school today. I lied to Calum saying I was going to be fine, but I don't think I will be. I have no friends, apart from Calum, Ashton, Luke and Michael now, but if I start to hang around with them, then they're reputation will be ruined and I don't want to do that to them.

I guess I'll just have to see how it goes today. Hopefully nothing bad happens.

I walked to my first class... English. I hate English. Anyway as I got there I noticed someone was there, as I got closer I noticed it was Liam. Shit, not Liam. He hates me, I don't know why but he hates me. He is pretty cute I have to admit... but that's not the point. He doesn't physically bully me but he calls me names and shoves me about in the corridor. His hair was a light brown colour and quiffed up a bit like Luke's. He had a grey shirt on and black jeans on, paired with all black VANS.

I stood about 4 meters away from him as I was scared he was going to do something. I looked through my books for notes as I heard him sniffle. I looked at him and he wiped a tear away.

"What are you looking at?" He growled.

I turned my head back to my book "N.. nothing"

I returned to my book reading the notes I needed for class. I wonder what was wrong with him. I've never seen him cry before, he's always been so tough and hidden whatever is going in in his life. I know he's been a bit of a dick but, I can't just leave him.

I sigh putting my books on the floor and slowly walk towards him. "Do you wanna talk about it..?" I say just above a whisper.

"No" he says bluntly turning his head away from me.

"Okay..." I say nodding and turning around.

"My little sister just died..." he then says. I freeze, I didn't even know he had a sister.

I turn around "What..?"

"She had a brain tumour, which spread, and um... she passed away this morning..."

My mouth was left open in shock "I'm.. I'm so sorry..."

He just shrugged, before bursting into tears. My heart fell for him... Yes he is a major asshole, but right now.. he's showing his soft side and caring side. It just makes me wanna give him a hug.

So that's what I did. I went up to him wrapping my arms around his back as he cried into my shoulder. I swear a tear fell from my eye because of how hurt he was.

----

Me and Liam had talked all the way until people started to gather in the hallways. we just had deep talk about his sister and then we started talking about music. Turns out he wants to do the performing arts and specialise in singing. I told him to follow his dreams and not care what anyone thinks.

"Well we should probably get up now" I tell him.

He nods standing "Thanks by the way.."

"No problem, I'm always up for a chat" I smile. "you should probably go clean up your face"

"Yeah, I'll see you later"

He waves me off before going off into the bathroom. He is a really nice person sat heart, and the conversation we just had no one will understand how much that really meant to him. He just really needed someone to talk to.

I gather up my books and plug in my earphones when Calum came and pulled them out.

"Hey! What'd you do that for? "

"Why were you talking to Liam?" He asks me totally avoiding my question .

"Why does it bother you?"

" 'Cause he's a bad person" he says looking. Me directly in the eye.

"What and you're and angel now?" I giggle.

He sighs "Danielle I'm serious"

"Calum you can't tell me who I can and can't talk to"

"I'm not saying that, just don't talk to him. He's gonna try and get closer to you, use you for sex or some shit and then dump you"

I sigh back at him "Look you don't know what's going on with Liam, I do, so just stay out of it. So what if he uses me, I can deal with it"

"I just don't want you get hurt..." he says leaning in closer.

"Calum, stop your not my boyfriend, stop trying to be all protective over me"
I gently push him off of me heading into class.

What is with him. Whatever I can talk to whoever I want when I want, so he can quit being all protective over me.
