THE BOY NEXT DOOR | c.h.

chapter three

AHHH. AHHH. AHHH.
that was the sound of my alarm going off. dammit i forgot to turn it since its now spring break. what time is it??! i sat up, rubbed my eyes, and grabbed my phone.
"ugh its only 7." i groaned. might as well get up.

its now 5PM. i should probably start to get ready for calum's house. i walked into my bathroom and did my daily routine- you know the usual stuff like shower, wash my hair, and etc. i got dressed in a twenty one pilots band tee that i DIYed (A/N: don't know if thats a word haha.) it into a muscle tank top. it looks so cute. i paired that shirt with a pair of high waisted ripped skinny jeans and white high top converse. i thought i looked pretty cute. i just brushed my hair and left it down. "bye mom. i'm going next door to calum's house." i yelled walking out the front door.
"bye kac. love you."
"love you too."
i walked up and knocked on the door.

CALUM'S POV:
there was a knock on the door. i opened to see kacie standing there with the supplies that we'll need for the project. ha i don't think that we're really gonna get much work done. the boys are definitely gonna make sure that doesn't happen. she looks so pretty right now! the guys are gonna be all over her ughh! at least they aren't here yet so i'll get hang out with her for sometime.
"come on in. the guys aren't here yet but they will be soon." i held the door open for her.
"okay cool."

-
we had been working on our project for only ten minutes when there was knock on the door.
"i'll be right back." calum went to go open the front door.
he opened the door and i saw michael standing.

CALUM'S POV:
"hey mikey." i said letting him inside.
i glanced over to kacie to see that she was not so happy to see michael.
"hey mate can you please be a little nicer to kacie?! i really like her." i whispered so she couldn't hear me.
"yeah man. i was actually thinking about you and her today. i can tell you really like her so i'm gonna back off. just let me go talk to her so i can make things right."
"thanks man. i'll go put your guitar in the garage." i walked towards the garage. please be nice michael. pleeease.

-
"hey kacie. can i talk to you for a minute?" michael said sitting on the chair across from me.
"sure. you have one minute though so get talking."
"i just wanted to say that i'm really sorry for how i've been acting towards you. i've been a real douche and i'm so sorry. i hope that we can put our past behind us."
"do you really mean what you say?"
"yes."
"then i guess we can be friends."
"awesome! hug?"
"hug." we hugged. it felt nice to know that we weren't gonna be fighting anymore.

in the next twenty minutes the two other members of the band showed up. one of the kids i had math with and he's super smart in it yet he never raises his hand. his name's luke. the other guy whose name i later learned was ashton didn't go to our school. all i knew about him was that he had a job at kfc.
"guys this is kacie. kacie these are the guys." calum said after putting all the equipment into the garage.
"hey guys." i smiled.
"hey kacie." they all responded.
we all walked into the garage. "so first i wanna play a new song for you guys that kacie and i wrote." he sang she looks so perfect while the guys sat next to me on the couch.
"you helped write this?" ashton whispered to me after calum finished.
"yeah."
"it's really good."
"thanks."

for the next two hours. i just hung out with the guys while they practiced their songs. i danced along and jammed out to all their songs. they're really talented. "hey kac we're gonna do a twitcam. wanna be in it?" calum asked.
"sure!"
we had a lot of fun during the twitcam. we played truth or dare and the fans asked us questions for us to answer. the fans were all really sweet and welcomed me to their fam. it was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
"calum i'm way too tired to go home. can i sleep on your couch?"
"yeah."
i looked down at my phone to see that it was 2AM. i texted my mom so she knew where i was going to be. the text message said:
hey mom. i'm staying over at calum's house tonight. (you know the one next door) i'll see you later. love you xx
as i was falling asleep i felt calum come down and put a blanket over me.
"thanks calum." i whispered half asleep.
"your welcome kac. goodnight." he responded and walked to his room. his band is sleeping over too. there upstairs though.
