I NEED TO STUDY (a Calum Hood fanfic) *In editing*

It Was a Mistake*

The next morning I woke up and just laid there until I could be bothered to move. I slowly crawled out of bed before going into Calum's room, he still wasn't awake. I made my way down stairs; mum left a note saying she went to the gym, Sarah wasn't home either, she went back to her house last night. I went into the pantry to get a pancake shake (it's like a bottle full of pancake mix, and all you need to do is add water and shake it). I added the water and started to shake it, before I felt Calum grab the bottle from my hands and started shaking it for me, "thanks" I whispered, "good morning" he said in his morning voice, "morning" I said as he kissed my cheek. He continued shaking the bottle while I got the pan out, the butter, maple syrup and some nutella. "Ready" he said handing me the bottle. While I was making the pancakes, Calum’s hands were always around my waist, his head on my shoulder. Once I got all of the pancakes ready, I brought them to the table and ate them while Calum say right next to me. "Are you going to tell me or am I going to have to find out though someone else?" I asked once I finished eating, Calum put his knife and fork on his plate and then looked at me. "It was a mistake, not a habit" he said, I just looked at him wanting him to tell me. "my girlfriend at the time was Lucy, and we went to a party one night, I didn’t mean to drink, but everyone else was, so I thought I would just have one, and I thought I did, but I think someone spiked my coke because I was acting really drunk." he sighed, still not making any eye contact. "I didn't know what I was doing, and Kate, she really hated Lucy, and I guess she took advantage of me being drunk ..." "Calum what did she do?" I asked, "At first she just kissed me, then she made out with me... And then" "you didn't Calum" he paused, moving his hands, "she pulled me up to one of the spare bedrooms... She ripped off my shirt, but then Ashton came into the bedroom, he heard from someone else what has happened. But... But Lucy was standing right behind him, crying." "And?" "And... Ashton pulled me out of the room, dropped Lucy home and took me back to his house, I don't remember any of what had happened, Ashton told me the next day what had happened." "What about Lucy?" "I went to her house the next day, she was already with another guy" I didn't really know how to react to this. Was I scared he'd do the same to me? Yes. "But I want you to know, that I would never want to hurt you" I stood up taking my plate to the kitchen, "I know" I whispered walking out of the room. "Just don’t leave yet" I said walking out of the room, he nodded. I went into the kitchen, back up to my room got changed and then back into the lounge room to see Calum had put his dishes away and was sitting on the couch on the phone. "Yeah Luke I told her… I had to, she's told me everything about her….so?.... I had to tell her everything about me, no I wanted to... Do you know what? Maybe I do, yeah I do... I love her" he said smiling. What? He loves me? No... No It’s too soon... I just walked back into the room once Calum was off the phone. I came back into the room and sat right next to him, putting my arms around him, I snugged my head into his neck. "It was a mistake" I whispered, Calum’s arms went around me, put to hands under my chin so I was facing him. “You’re so perfect" he whispered before kissing me. I don't think I could never get use to Calum’s lips on mine. How soft they were, how much passion there was. But I don't think I could ever get use to the spark. How the butterflies never leave, how much happier I am, and when his arms get tighter around my waist, how much safer I feel. How could this been happening so quickly? Why is this happening?

"Let's go for a walk" he said, I nodded my head and left a note for my mum before grabbing my keys and phone and then walking out the door with Calum. We were just walking until we saw some people from school. “Oh Jess, you lied you are going out with Calum!" one of them yelled. Calum quickly grabbed my hand and we walked a bit quicker, but they were following us. "You little slut!" "I can't believe it you aren't that little perfect girl that everyone says you are!" "Why did you chose her Calum when you can have one of us?" they continued to yell. The last comment was when Calum snapped. "Why did I pick Jess? BECAUSE JESS IS FRICKN PERFECT TO ME! I DON'T WANT SOMEONE WHO JUST PICKS ON EVERYONE ELSE! DON'T YOU DARE EVER CALL JESS A SLUT OR A WHORE!" he yelled at them, he was just about to turn and walk away when he said, "and just so you know, I would pick Jess over any of you any day" he then turned around back to me, with a pissed of looking face. "you didn't have to do that you know" I whispered after we had been walking for a bit, "yes I did, they can't just treat you like that," he paused taking a deep breath calming down, "not after everything you've been though" he whispered. "But that's the past Calum, I can't just let people act like they like me really they do, just because of my past. If someone doesn't like me I'd rather they show it instead of them not showing it, because then I could just be wasting my time with that person" I explained to him. "they could just keep their option to themselves" he mumbled, "true, but they didn't, and after what you did I don't think they are going to bother us again" I said grabbing is hand and kissing is cheek.
