Heartless Love

Chapter 16- Behind Closed Doors

Clara's POV

I arrived at the house. I could feel the vibrations from the bass of the music blasting from the speakers.

I walked in and was greeted by Levi wearing a button down with not shirt and with jorts. He definitely looked like a frat boy. 

"Hey Clara! Good to see you." he shouted over the music.

"Nice to see you too Levi" I said as I smiled.

I walked into the house to see dozens of people already in here. I found the drink table and poured myself a full red solo cup. I wasn't trying to get black out drunk but I wasn't trying to remember tonight. I also need to loosen up.

I mingled around the house talking to other girls about anything really. It was already getting late and I was about to slip out when Levi grabbed my wrist,

"Hey, where are you going? Party's just starting!" He smiled.

"I don't know, Levi, I think I'm going back to my dorm." I yelled over the music.

"Don't leave yet. Dance with meeee!" He slurred his words.

He was obviously drunk but what the hell why not?

He dragged me to the room where the music was playing. He pulled me into his chest, moving his hands down my back. 

His arms slid down to grab my ass firmly. I could feel his boner grow near my lower stomach.

His lips slide down to my ear,

"You're making me sooo fucking hard, shit, Claraaa." He breathed and I looked down at his bulge. 

His hands found themselves close to my waistband. I decided to wrap my arms around his neck and grind into him a little to tease him.

Then my eyes caught a glimpse of those tattoos and I felt my heart stop for the second time today.

I'm so dumb. Of course Emily would be here and bring him. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die seeing them together. 

Callahan's piercing eyes never left mine as they traveled across the room.

He walked behind me and I felt him tug on my belt loop, catching my attention. I looked away from Levi to see Callahan walking backwards motioning his head for me to follow him.

"Hang on, Levi, I'll be back." I got out of his grasp without him saying anything and followed Callahan to the room I saw him disappear into. It was dark and I tried squinting to see who was who.

Callahan then grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me upstairs. He led me to a bedroom with a neatly made bed in the center of it.

He spun me around and pushed me onto the bed, forcing me to lay on my back and look at him.

He got on top of me and hissed into my ear,

"Oh my god, I've wanted this for so long. You have no idea Clara."

He smashed his lips onto mine and I felt something different. A new lip piercing. As if he couldn't get any hotter.

I slipped my tongue into his mouth that I craved for and I played with his piercing.

His hands freely roamed my body as his mouth moved from my lips to my jawline to my neck, leaving small purple marks behind. 

Callahan's right hand slipped under my shirt and it gripped my breast, catching me off guard.

Someone started pounding on the door forcing him to get up off of me. He opened the door to see Emily.

"Where have you been?! I've been looking all over! What the fuck are you doing in here, Cal?!" Of course she had to use his nickname.

He kept the door just cracked open so she wouldn't see me on the bed as I got up and hid behind the door. 

"Just give me a second, Em, I was just taking a break from the crowd. I'm going home now anyways, my head hurts and I didn't really want to come." He said keeping her from looking in.

"Whatever." She stormed off and Callahan spoke up to me,

"I'm actually going to go." He said as he started walking out of the door.

"What? No!" I chased after him down the stairs and out of the house.

He was walking down the street and I ran after him.

"Callahan! No! Please!" I yelled before I tripped over the uneven pavement.

"Shit." I looked down at my knee that was scraped open pretty badly. I leaned up against the light post that was next to me.

I started to cry. I wasn't even worried about getting back to my dorm, now. I wanted to lay in the middle of the street and let a car run me over.

I rested my head on my knee that wasn't bleeding. I then heard quick footsteps coming my way. I looked up to see Callahan shaking his head,

"Okay it's gonna be alright, come on, I'll take you home." He said in a hushed tone and moved my loose hair behind my ear.

He picked me up with ease and brought me to his car that was at the end of the street. 

He placed me gently in the backseat of the familiar car. It had been taken up with another girl's scent. I rested my head on the seat. I didn't even bother with a seat belt,

"Where's your dorm?" He took his car out of park.

"It's just a block over. It's dorm building 3." I said and looked up at him in the front seat.

"Okay." His tattooed hands floated around the steering wheel as he turn down the street.

After a minute drive in silence we arrived at my dorm. He opened the back door and grabbed me. I grabbed my keycard from my pocket and had him take it to scan it.

Callahan brought me to the door and used my keycard to open it as well. He found the bathroom and set me on the sinks counter. He rummaged through my cabinets as I tried to get my head to stop spinning.

He found the rubbing alcohol and the band aids. He poured the alcohol onto a cotton pad and dabbed the area on my knee that was exposed. 

I winced from the pain, holding my breath.

"It's alright. It will stop in a few seconds, Clara." He reassured me.

"I always thought I'd be the one cleaning you up like this." I remarked.

"Haha, very funny" He tried to contain his smile but failed.

He put the bandaid on my knee and lifted me off the counter.

"Woah, who's this Clara?" Rylie poked her head in because the door was open.

"Uh, this is Callahan. He's just helping me. I scraped my knee." I explained and watched her grin at him.

"Well, Callahan, do you have a girlfriend?" She leaned against the door frame.

"It's complicated." He started putting the rubbing alcohol away.

"That's okay. Want me to help you figure it out?" Rylie said obviously flirting with him. He didn't really go for it,

"No. I'm good I have Clara to help me with that." He turned his face towards mine and smiled.

She scoffed, walked back to our bedroom and laid back on her bed on the opposite side of the room.

"Well, thanks again, Cal." I walked closer to him.

"No problem." He rasped.

Callahan pulled me in and lightly kissed my forehead and walked out. He waved and slowly shut the door of my room.
