In the Hood's Life

Chapter 7

Calum's POV

"Wow." I breathed.

"Agreed." Belle gasped.

I pulled her onto me, her head laying on my chest.

"I thought I should let you know, I have to leave for tour in two weeks." I whispered.

"You do?" She whined.

"Yeah. A guy offered us a recording contract, and he wants us to sing our original songs." I said, kissing her forehead.

"When did you find out?" She asked with a puppy face.

"Just yesterday. I swear I'll call everyday, Skype constantly." I sighed.

She nodded and got off, going to the bathroom.

I heard the door lock and her body slump against the door.

I heard her start to sob.

I went to the door and knocked.

"Belle, please come out." I said, leaning on the doorframe.

"No. Go away." She cried.

I slumped against the door, feeling her presence just on the other side.

After about ten minutes, she unlocked the door and I stood up.

She stepped into my arms and I wrapped them tight around her.

-2 weeks later-

I woke up at 4 in the morning to get everything around and go to the airport with the lads, who were downstairs.

I heard Belle in the bathroom.

It sounded like she was puking.

"Belle?" I asked, knocking on the door.

"Hey Cal." She wheezed, her voice raspy.

"You alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, it must be Ashton's cooking." She laughed, puking again.

I opened the door and she was kneeled in front of the toilet in a thong and my Nirvana shirt.

She smiled and leaned forward to puke again.

I went behind her and held her hair back, rubbing circles in her back.

She cried and puked about four more times.

"What's wrong, babe?" I asked.

"My stomach hurts so bad." She cried.

"You'll be okay, I promise." I smiled.

"You should go get ready." She said.

"You'll be okay?" I asked.

She nodded and clung to the sides as she puked again.

She got up and flushed the toilet, then brushing her teeth.

She washed her face and dried off.

I smiled and grabbed my bags, heading downstairs.

The guys were all checking their bags to make sure they had everything.

"Wow, what took you so long?" Luke asked.

"Belle was sick and I was helping her." I said.

"Is she okay?" Ashton asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, just a stomach bug." I smiled.

I heard a thump from upstairs.

"I'll be right back." I said, running my hand through my hair.

"Let me get it." Mikey said.
