Scarred For Life

Chapter 47

Felt like putting up another chapter because we reached 1K.

Yup, we reached 1K reads!!!! I am freaking out, this is amazing!!!!

Calum's Point of View

We finally told the girls what's happened. April is really, really upset, so is Luke. Kaelyn ... I really don't know, and Miriam hasn't came back yet.

We have been sat in silence for the past hour none of us wanting to talk. I had been doing some thinking myself actually, whilst we were there.

I don't think the boys will be to happy about it, but it's a kind of last resort plan.

"Guys..?" I said quietly, none of them moved from the position they were in so I just continued. "I'm - I'm gonna, go back to Scotland.."

Ashton was the first to react. "What? Why?"

"There's no use in me staying here. I've lost my girlfriend, soon the whole town will find out what I did, nobody wants me here and if I stay, I'll just relapse and I don't want that." I explained.

"How long are you going for..?" Michael then asked.

I sighed shaking my head. "Long term..."

Luke scoffed. "So when it goes bad you leave us to suffer..."

"No that's not it. I've had a tough life, okay? I'm not going stay here and let it happen all over again." I told him. "You don't have to stay, but I'm going."

"What about the band?" Michael asked looking like he was about to cry.

I felt a lump in my throat. I haven't played the bass in ages, not since Danielle left, this band is being torn apart, but, we have no choice.

"I don't know... I guess it's over..." I sighed. I looked at the extremely upset boys before going upstairs into my room to pack.

I got out my suitcase and started shoving all my clothes in along with anything else I need. Once I was done I went online to find the earliest ticket for Scotland. The earliest was tomorrow at 4:30pm. Great. I booked them anyway, printing them out.

I lay on my bed once I was done and thought about how my life is going to change in just 24 hours.

I woke up to see it was dark out, wow I slept for a long time, I thought. I rubbed my eyes getting up unaware of what time it was. I was really uncomfortable in my jeans so I changed out of them into sweats and a shirt before going downstairs.

Thinking it was going to be empty, I went into the living room to watch some late night TV but everyone was already there. It was like girls VS boys. The girls were on one side the boys on the other.

"Erm... what's going on?" I asked looking really confused as every else looking really pissed off.

"We're going to sort this out. That's what's going on..." April responded quietly in a really raspy voice. She was sitting by her self wrapping her arms around herself. She seemed the most affected by it and it really hurt me to see her this upset.

April was a quiet innocent girl. She's never done anything bad in her life, she felt like a little sister to me she was just so kind. Seeing her hurt just.. it's just burned another hole in my heart.

I bit my lip down hard going to take a seat next to Ashton, who refused to look at anybody.

It was then a game of who was going to speak first because nobody seemed like they were going to at this point so I just decided to. I got up from the seat and stood in the middle.
