Hanging Tree

Chapter 33

Calum

I felt something hard hit me right across my cheek, making sure to leave a red mark. I looked up to find my brunette girlfriend staring down at me with tears in her eyes and that's when everything knocked itself back into me.

"Violet?" I asked confused at what I was doing here and also at what she's doing here.

"Fuck you," she spat and turned on her heels and walked away.

This grabbed my full attention and caused me to stand on my feet. I still felt a little tipsy but I could handle myself. I looked around the find the boys just as wasted as I am. Its hard to see if they're even conscious.

"Violet!" I called out.

I tried to take a step and follow behind Violet but a dark haired kid stood in front of me. I looked up to find none other than Zayn.

"Leave her alone, mate," he said putting his hands on my chest to stop me from moving further.

I looked down at his hands and looked back up at him. "Move," I said staring right into his eyes. He did the same to me, staring into my brown eyes, not even moving a muscle.

"You just cheated on her. I think its best you leave her alone for now," Zayn said.

"Calum?" I heard Ashton stir but I didn't bother to acknowledge him.

I gritted my teeth and said," I know what I did. That's why I want to go after her. I don't need you to tell me what to do. You don't need to enter into my relationship. Our relationship."

I shoved his body lightly, enough for him to get his hands of me and tried to walk past him. But the second he opened his mouth I stopped in my tracks.

"Is there still going to be a relationship?" Zayn asked.

I turned around to find him smirking at me. That little dick.

"I mean you did cheat on her."

"What happened?" Ashton asked, now standing next to Zayn.

Zayn smiled and turned around to answer Ashton.

"Your mate here cheated on his girlfriend and is expecting her to forgive him. But I'm just telling him she won't. She's not that easy," Zayn answered. He acted as if he knew everything about her. A-Z about her. But he knew nothing about her. Just because he spends time with her doesn't mean he knows her as well as I do. For god sakes, he used to bully her half her life.

Zayn turned to me and said, "That was a shit move, mate."

I couldn't control myself as I lunged myself at him, causing him to trip and fall onto the chair I was sitting on previously.

"Cal, calm down," Ashton said holding me back.

"I'm just stating the obvious," Zayn said, raising his hands in defense.

I groaned and slumped myself on the floor. I knew what Zayn's saying is true. She's not going to forgive me. I ran my fingers through my hair amd tugged on the roots.

"What are we even doing here?" Ash asked confused.

Zayn snorted and said, "Are you guys that wasted?"

Both me and Ashton look at him and shot daggers through our eyes which made that little smile of Zayn's face to fade away.

I shrugged my shoulders as an answer for Ashton's question.

I honestly don't remember why we're here. We were in the mall, surrounded by a group of girls asking for autographs and then now we're in a bar, completely wasted. I remember a blonde approaching us just as we were about to leave and offered to get us drinks. I looked up to find the girl who had her lips all over mind not minutes ago standing behind a bad smiling to herself.
