Forever Alone

Chapter 20 Hiding Cuts

"What the fuck Michael!" Get off of her!" Calum screamed when he flew into Bella's bedroom. Bella was relieved. Michael slowly walked away from her and she could finally breathe again.

Calum stared down at Bella on the bed. "Get out asshole!" Calum yelled and darted at Michael. He brought his fist to Michael's jaw powerfully.

Michael grabbed his bloody face and rushed out of Bella's house.

Bella's eyes apologized to Calum since she could barely speak at the moment. Calum blamed himself for what was happening.

"It's all my fault Bella. I'm so sorry I should've trusted you. I'm an asshole." Calum cried.

"It's okay I'm just really grateful that you are here now!" Bella spoke quietly. A small clear tear escaped from Bella's eyes and rushed down her pale face.

Calum slowly walked over to Bella and scooped her up into his arms. Bella rest her head on Calum's shoulder and he leaned his head down onto hers for a short second.

"I love you." Bella whispered.

"What was that?" Calum questioned. Bella's body decided to shut down on her and her body immediately gave in and her eyes darkened quickly.

Calum grabbed her head lightly and lifted it up to make sure Bella was okay. When he realized that she was knocked out he rushed out of her room to get back to his place.

Calum snuck down Bella's stairs and out of her house. He carried her tired body across the yard and into his house next door.

Calum came through the front door and saw his dad in the living room on the couch. His dad instantly turned around when Calum entered.

"Hey Calum! Is everything okay?" Calum's dad asked when he saw Bella in Calum's arms.

"Yeah everything is fine. Can she stay the night?" Calum begged.

"I guess." Calum's dad shrugged and went back to watching TV.

Calum dragged Bella up the stairs and into his room. He placed her body down on his cozy bed and tucked a black pillow behind her head. Then he threw a blanket across her body.

Calum bent down and kissed Bella's forehead. He quietly backed away from his bed and decided to get some things done while Bella was out.

Calum quickly grabbed his backpack and ripped it open. He pulled out a few different colored binders and got to work. He decided to do all his homework so he could take care of Bella later.

Once he finished all his homework in every subject he decided to get clothes ready for the night.

He made his way to his dresser and then pulled it open. He dug out sweatpants and a t-shirt for Bella and the same for him.

Calum then had nothing else to do. He quickly got dressed into his new clothes and avoided taking a shower.

When Calum finished changing he walked over to his bed. He quietly crawled into his bed and wrapped his arms around Bella. He fell asleep waiting for Bella to wake up.

Calum was suddenly woken up by Bella moving next to him. "Bella?" Calum yawned.

"Yeah?" Bella turned around and faced Calum.

"You're awake. I was hoping you would wake up soon. I've been waiting to take care of you!" Calum smiled and released Bella.

"You're sweet Cal." Bella laughed. Calum jumped out of his bed and walked over to Bella's side.

"Do you want to stay in bed?" Calum questioned.

"Nah! I wanna go spend some time with you!" Bella slowly got herself into a sitting position.
