Behind the Screens (c.hood)

Carter POV

I stand in astonishment. What just happened. I mean, I was supposed to say sorry and have the whole thing over and done with. Not piss off th guest and have him storm out of the house.

I hastily run upstairs, hoping mom won't have any questions if she sees I'm sleeping. My solution to everything: sleep.

Crawling into my king sized bed, making sure no stains are on my pure white sheets. I lay in silence. What does my sister even see in him. Oh yeah, money.

I close my eyes in hope sleep will come; And it does.

Waking up this morning was easier than it usually is. usually it's a daily struggle even opening my eyes. although it's odd, I'm not questioning it. instead I go downstairs and make some breakfast.

Breakfast is the usual, and omelet, piece of toast and 4 cut up strawberries. I have my headphones in, blasting Ariana Grande.

"If you want to keep me, you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta love me harder," shaking my hips to the song, I grab my toast and apply Nutella on it.

Don't get me started on my love for Nutella. I can eat it with anything. literally anything. After applying the Nutella I secretly scoop a spoonful and eat it.

Taking all my food into the dining room, I flip on the tv and begin to eat. Holy Shit.

"What?!" I scream at the the TV. Are they fucking serious?

"Yup that's right reocapral. Zayn Malik left the famous boyband One Direction. Heart break is all over!" he pretends to care and I roll my eyes.

It's not like I was their biggest fan ever, this was just a shock (A/N I am a huge Directioner this is just for the book😂👍) I knew some of their songs such as What makes you beautiful, best song ever, you & I, I want, Story of my life. I loved their style. Why would Zayn leave?

"Here is a all exclusive interview with One Directions closest friends!" He claps.

Who could be their closest friends? I ask to many questions.

"Here is 5 Seconds Of Summer! Welcome boys, welcome! Great pleasure to have you here!" The interviewer seemed way to excited.

"Pleasure is all ours, really," Ashton nods his head respectively.
"Yea, I'm happy to be here!" Calum falsely smiled. They didn't catch on but I did and I hated it.

"So you guys know why you're here, right? And don't say interview. I'm here to discuss this whole spit thing," he says and nervously looks at his notecards.

"Mate, calm down," Luke says and I laugh.

"I am calm, really. Anyways, so what happened why Zayn?"

"Not really any of our place to say.." ashton says.

"Our management is such du-" Michael began to curse out management but calum covered his face.

"What Mike was going to say," He shoots mike a quick glare,"is that management has a lot of...things on their hands. They are super frustrated. As are me and the rest of the boys. But when Zayn wants to say what happened, I believe he will do what he feels is right."

"Right. So um, Calum!" The interviewer suddenly has a broad grin.

"Yea....?" Calum seemed uncomfortable by the fact that th interviewer had a rape look on his face.

"You and Rosaline... I wasn't expecting it."

"Me either, mate," he chuckles.

"What do you mean?" the interviewer scoots closer to make the mic in his face.

"I dont know."

"What's your favorite thing about her?"

"I don't have anything"

"What..?"

Ashton nudges Calum,"Oh um I mean there are so many things. I can't simply choose, you know?" he quickly recovers.

I can't watch this anymore. I quickly turn off the T. V.

Why would he date her if he didn't like anything about her? I'm not buying that whole "I can't choose". That is complete and utter bull shit. To be honest I don't see why he would even think about dating Rosie. She's a class-A bitch and she's needy all the time.

Not like it's my problem, I just don't want him around. He seems like bad news, and he's annoying.

My phone goes off and I check my messages.

17 missed messages.
297 Kik messages.

My notifications have always been high like this, so don't think it's because of Calum.

"Carter!" I hear my mom scream.

Can't I have like an hour to myself?

"Yes?!" I attempt not to sound rude.

"Rosies boyfriend was just on T.V! Did you see it?" She shouts.

"Yes mum, and i changed it after the first 5 minuets," I sigh.

"Why?! He was great. So was Lelo!" She says and claps her hands.

"Who the hell is Lelo?"

"Don't use that language! And it's one of his band mates. Keep up, darling," She seems so proud that she 'knew' one of their names.

"It's Luke, mom. And hell isn't necessarily a bad word. Its the name of a place. Just depends on how you use it." I explained.

"You used it out of context, young lady," she says with her hands on her wide hips.

"Yes I know, just telling you it's not always that bad to say it. Like if I said..."Calum is damned to hell" it wouldn't be that bad, now would it?" I ask and her. mouth drops.

"Don't you dare say that Calum is damned to hell. You better pray for forgiveness tonight, I'll pray for you as well!" She swats at my arm.

"Jeez mom, it was just an example! Not like I meant it. It's not my place to say who goes to hell," I lightly mumble and her face softened.

"When we go to church this Sunday I expect you to tell the preacher what you said so he can pray for you. I will be too. Darling, I expected more from you," she says and scowls at me.

"You always expect more from me, Sorry I can't be like Rosaline and date famous people. She only does it for their money. She's a gold digging whore and I don't regret calling her that," I huff and leave before she can hit or do any damage to me.
