Worst Heartbreak, Best Dream

Chapter 9

I followed him to his room. It was a lot messier than it had been before I left. Stuff was knocked over and thrown everywhere and the music had been left on. "What the hell happened here? A tornado?" I asked. "No. Uh don't worry about it just go get in the shower and I'll take care of it." he answered sounding embarrassed and confused. I walked to the bathroom and the light was on but I thought nothing of it. I figured if he left the music on maybe he was in such a rush he forgot to turn off the light. I opened the door only to see Luke in the shower. I screamed and covered my eyes as quickly as I could backing out of the bathroom. "What the hell Calum? Why is Luke in your shower?" I said completely uncomfortable seeing Calum's best friend and band mate naked in his shower. "What the hell is he doing here? I'm so sorry. I thought it was just you and I tonight. Michael probably has a girl in his room. I'll talk to him when he gets out." As if planned Luke walks out of the bathroom with a towel on. "Oh hey Cal I hope you don't mind if I stay here tonight. Mike is with some girl and I wanted to give them alone time. I knew Emily was angry and had her own room so I figured it would be just you and me." He said as if it wasn't a problem. Calum told me to go get in the shower and that he would handle this. I did as I was told eager to escape the tension filled room.

[Calum's P.O.V]

"Dude what the hell? You should at least text me! Tonight was supposed to be special and you probably just ruined it! You probably just ruined everything. You're in my shower and completely fuck up my room. It is trashed. I know I got angry the other night and lost it but come on Luke, this isn't all from me. It looks like a bomb went off in here! I'm lucky she's even here right now. The only reason she was staying here tonight was because I begged and she forgot her key anyways. I am so lost without her dude. You don't even understand... She means so much to me. Just go somewhere, somewhere else before you mess this up more..." I said worried and frustrated. "Look dude I didn't know. I'll clean this up but where else am I gonna go... I don't have anywhere else. I know Ash has Liz in his room. She is staying there. I thought you were gonna be alone. Just let me stay here." Luke said. I knew he was sorry and I didn't mind him being here I just didn't want to lose Emily over it. "I guess just get dressed, clean up, don't cause trouble, and keep it down." I said sighing. I grabbed a T-shirt and some sweatpants because it was a little chilly in the room. The windows were slightly open with a breeze blowing off the ocean. I knocked on the bathroom door and entered slowly. I kept my eyes on the floor, "Yes? is there a problem?" She asked. "No I just brought you some clothes." She giggled a little. "Okay thanks, I'll be out in a minute and then you can get in." I left and collapsed on my bed. I noticed Luke sitting over by the closet on the little couch. I guess I dozed off because I was hit in the head with a pillow. Emily came out looking cute and comfortable even though the shirt was a little big and the pants were a little too long. "Uh I'm just gonna go get some clothes from my room. I look ridiculous." She said. "You do look so ridiculous! It doesn't matter though, not like you'll have them on later after Cal here gets to you." Luke said dying of laughter. "Luke! Shut up or you can leave now! I'm gonna go get in the shower. Try to relax, I don't know how well that will turn out with Luke here but just try. I'll be quick." I said.

[Emily's P.O.V]

I didn't want to be in the room with Luke after what I had witnessed earlier. I could feel the awkwardness. I just lay there, seconds feeling like centuries. "Like what you saw princess?" Luke said smirking. "Shut up Luke. I can make sure you leave." I said throwing his pillow back at him. "Cal has a feisty one, different, he usually likes sweet girls. Feisty is more my type." he continued on. "Luke seriously shut up." I said harshly. I got my point across. He shut up and I was glad a few minutes later Calum came out. He grabbed his phone and cuddled up next to me under the covers and I will admit, I was kinda hot so I wasn't sure what to do. "hey Cal, I'm kinda hot. Do you mind if I take off these sweatpants?" I asked nervously. I didn't want him to think I was trying anything. "No, it's fine. I was kinda hot too but I won't take anything off if you aren't comfortable with it." He whispered back sweetly. We were whispering so Luke wouldn't jump in our conversation. I ended up in my bra and underwear, him in his underwear. It felt a lot better, his arm brushed past mine and it made me tingle. We were all on our phone, including Luke who had his ringer turned up the loudest so every time he got a notification it went off. Luke is in a popular boy band. He gets notifications all the time and it was so annoying. I felt my phone go off. It was a twitter notification, Calum Hood started following me. I had been following him for a little while but hadn't looked at his recent tweets. The most recent one was a picture of us earlier with him kissing my cheek. I scrolled down further.

Calum's tweets:

She has my <3

She looks like an angel when she sleeps

I think he looked over my shoulder and saw what I was looking at because there was a new tweet that he has just tweeted. It said I love you, don't be afraid. I didn't realize I was smiling. I turned on my other side and his face was inches from mine. I leaned in and kissed him passionately. In that moment we were the only two people in the universe. When our lips parted without hesitation said "I love you too." This boy had turned my worst nightmare into my best dream. I never wanted to fall in love again but he did it. He fixed me and I love him. I'm glad I met him and I don't want it to be any other way. I never want to wake up from this dream.
