Cure {A.I}

Miserable At Best

When we got to Calum house I sat on the couch and cried.

"I shouldn't even be here." I said.

"No it's fine. If you guys brake up, and you guys probably will, but we can still be friends. You and me. We will keep it a secret." Calum sat next to me with a beer in his hand.

I started crying harder. Not because he reminded me that we were broken up. I haven't talked to Ashton yet but we have already broken up. But the fact that he was being so nice. He drove me home and keeping a secret that we are friends from his own best friend and band mate.

I just sat there like a big baby. Crying into my lap. I was being so weak about it. I should have been angry at him. Hating him. Not wanting him. I needed him. He was gone. I would never have him hold me again or dance with me. I guess we were just a fling. It didn't feel like a fling but we were.

"Hey it's ok." Calum awkwardly put his arm around me. "shhhh. it's ok." he rubbed my back.

I dried my eyes and looked at Calum's beer.

"Gemme that." I reach for his beer.

"No! No. You can't have my beer. You can have YOUR own beer." he cautiously stood up and walked away to the kitchen. He came back with a case of beer.

"Here. have your own."

I took a beer and popped the lid off, tossing it behind the couch. I took a huge burning swig from the bottle. The taste made me gag but I went for another swig. It burned my insides but I could feel it easing my pain.

"Whoa! Slow the fuck down!" He said.

"Oh fuck you Calum."

Before i knew it, I was had drank 5 bottles of beer. my head was foggy and I was laying in the couch with my feet on Calum's lap.

"Do you like me...?" I asked Calum in my drunken voice.

"Ummm... Im not ansering that..." He said.

"Why don't you like me?"

"I never said I didn't like you."

"Well do you like me?" My head throbbed but i had almost forgotten what Ashton did.

"Yeah. Sure. I like you sober just saying." he pushed my feet off his lap, making me awkwardly half on the floor.

"I am sober dick!" I laughed.

"Umm, no. You are not. Lets get you home. Ashton's gonna be home soon. He just texted me."

My memory refreshed and i remembered what happened again.

"Fuck Ashton." My voice came out sour and i reached for another beer.

"No. That's enough for you." Calum pulled the case of beer from my reach.

"Come on man. Just one more."

"Shut up." He poked me.

"Your cute." I said giggling, forgetting about the beer.

"I know. Now lets get you home."

"No like, Your hot when you poke me. You know that was my 'thing' for Ashton."

I sat up on the couch and leaned towards Calum.My face was inches from his face.

"What are you doing Ananya?" He said.

I put my hand around his smooth neck and kissed him.

"That, dickface."

"Ok we gotta go." Calum tried standing up but already had a firm grip on him.

"Why are you so mean? Why can't I stay for a while?"

"Because your trying to rape me and I am NOT attracted to you like that."

"Yeah you are!" I laughed like an idiot and went in for another kiss but he moved his face so i ended up kissing his ear.

"UGH! Stop moving!" I Threw my hands up in annoyence and Calum made his move and stood up making me fall over on the couch.

"Your such a dick Calum!" I yelled and threw a pillow at him.

"Yeah I know. Why do you think I'm called a male. And no you can't have it."

"I don't even have a boyfriend!"

"Get up." He took my arm and helped me up.

I stood up and walked outside with him and he helped me into the car.

He got in the other side of the car and drove out of the drive way.

As we drove home, I fell asleep, with my head on the dashboard, leaving a pond a drool.

"Alright Ananya. Your home."

""UGGGG." I said as Calum shook me.

I picked up my head and looked out the window. We were in front of my house.

"Mmhh." I grumbled.

"Lets get out." He got out and came around to my side of the car. He opened the door and i stood up, getting out. He steadied my wobbling. He helped me to the door and opened it.

"Thank you Calum." I said, rubbing my eyes.

"No problem."

"I love you." I gave him a hug.

"I love you too." He returned the embrace and i could tell he really meant what he had said.

"No more sex." I said. "Even though I love you."

"We didn't even have sex dork."

"Oh we didn't... Oh yeah. I thought we did."

Maria appeared at the door and looked at me in disgust.

Calum made his first move before she started yelling at him. "Sorry Maria. I'll text you what happened but she thinks we has sex but we actually didn't so just tell her we didn't if she asks... Oh and she kinda drank to much beer so keep her near a bathroom because that brand of beer gives you killer hangovers and shes heartbroken so cut her some slack for getting... like this... and..."

Maria cut him off.

"Yeah... um i know how do to this but thanks for bringing her over."

"No problem. And we didn't have sex...." Calum walked back to his car and drove away.

"Lets get inside." Maria said after staring in shock at me.
