Can't Stop Runnin'

Chapter 5

Calum's POV

Where could she be! She could be raped, dead or worse! Shit. The front door is wide open.

"Hello?" Luke's voice is hoarse.

"Do you know where Kaia is?" I ask him, desperation clear in my voice.

"No, what happened?" He asks. I hear him sit up.

"She slept over last night, and when I woke up this morning the door was wide open and she was gone. Also she won't answer her phone." I ramble on

"Dude, slow down. Just breathe. has she ever left like this before?" He asks.

"No!" I panic.

"OK. Let me call her, I'll call you back in a minute." he hung up.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Luke's POV

"Kylie, I'll be right back. I promise." I roll out of bed. She groans. I go out into the hall to call Kaia. She picks up on the third ring.

"Hi?" She says through the receiver.

"Wait, so you're OK?" I ask.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She sounds confused.

"I mean, Calum called me at three in the morning to tell me that his door was wide open and you were gone." I say sarcastically.

"Ohhhh. You see, I went to my house to go and get some clothes. I forgot to earlier." she lies.

"Where are you now?" I ask still concerned.

"In the car, everything is fine, trust me." she pleads.

"Alright, but you better call Calum." I tell her.

"Right..." she sounds stressed, but I don't have anytime to ask her anything because she hangs up the phone almost instantly.

Calum's POV

Finally I get a call. It's from Kaia.

"Hey." she says. I smile.

"Hey."

Ashton's POV

Whoever thought that after the first date I would end up sleeping at a girls house. Well in the living room, on the floor. These people are very protective of their white couch. It turns out that Elise lives with the girl I saw her with
at the mall, and a blonde chick. Elise has a queen size water bed, yet I'm sleeping on the floor in her living room. There are mason jars everywhere. They aren't just randomly placed though, they each have a purpose. One is a lamp, the other one holds toothbrushes, etc. I'm dealing with some crafty ladies here. I don't know how they got their money, but they have a pretty nice house.

I'm rudely woken up by the blonde one kicking me.

"Get off the floor." she complains.

Elise walks out of her room in her PJs.

"What do you want for breakfast?" She asks.

"Pasta." I say without thinking.

"Pasta?" She questions me.

"Yeah, pasta." I say with confidence.

"OK, cool." she says and then goes to the kitchen to get pasta.

When she comes back she has three different containers in her hand.

"Bow tie, squiggly, or straight pasta?" She asks.

"Straight pasta is fine." I laugh.

She hands me the container and then sat down and started eating the "squiggly" pasta. It's really good actually. I enjoyed having something other than pizza for once.

Her roommate, Julie, finally comes out. She looks slightly Asian, but more American. Her hair is damp, I'm assuming she took a shower.

"Pasta? For breakfast?" She asks confused.

"Yeah, it's the new trend." Elise says sarcastically. Julie rolls her eyes playfully.

"Julie, just walk away." her other roommate says.

"Oh yeah, that's Dana." Elise introduces me to her. She is short with thick blonde hair. I already know that she is feisty (from earlier today).

"Dana, say hi." Elise tells her.

"Hi." Dana says sarcastically and then rolls her eyes.

"Nice to meet you to." I say sarcastically. Damn, there's a lot of sarcasm going on in here. Elise giggles. I like this girl more and more by the second.

Luke's POV
Kylie finally walks out into the kitchen.

"Morning, Gorgeous." I say to get. She drags herself to the fridge.

"There's nothing in here but pizza!" She complains.

"Maybe we could go to the grocery store today." I tell her, hoping to cheer her up.

"Alright." she sighs while pulling out a breakfast burrito from the freezer.

"Hmmm... I didn't know we had any burritos." I say confused.

"We don't." Michael says walking out of his room. "the last time we bought breakfast burritos was late last year."

Sure enough the expiration date says, Dec. 21, 2014.

"Ew." Kylie says as she throws it away. "We should leave for the store soon." she adds.

"We'll leave in 15 minutes, so at 12:30." I tell her.

"Alright, I better go get ready." Kylie says, while getting up and leaving.

15 minutes later...

"Come on Kylie, it's been 15 minutes already!" I yell to her.

"I just have to do my hair!" She yells back. I groan. By "I need to do my hair" she means, "give me 20 more minutes".

20 minutes later...

Finally Kylie walks out. I forget how much time she wasted when I see how stunning she looks. Her hair is perfectly curled, and her makeup is perfectly done.

"Ready?" She smiles.

"Ready." I say back.

It takes 10 minutes to get to the store. The whole car ride I tease Kylie about how long she took to get ready. When we arrive we grab a cart and get shopping. The first thing we get is cereal, then hot pockets, then Cheetos. After we get all that, plus a few other small things, we check out and go home. We unpack the groceries and go cuddle on the couch while watching How I Met Your Mother and The Walking Dead. Her and my favorite shows.
