Calum's POV
After practice, I went to the store and bought some more roses. And a box of chocolates.
I got home to see Emily wasn't home yet. I put the roses on the table and chocolates. Then I wrote a note. I am so fucking sorry.
I was sitting on the couch flipping through channels. I called Lauren.
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Lauren, we need to talk" I said.
"What do you mean" she questioned.
"It's not you its me. And I'm so fucking sorry" I said.
"Wait, are you breaking up with me" she questioned.
"We can still be friends....with benefits" I said.
I heard her groan,"Fine...bye."
I saw Emily come home. She walked right past me. She came back downstairs holding the roses and box of chocolates. "Calum, you didn't have to," she said.
"Yes I did. Cause I don't see you forgiving me anytime sooner" I said.
"It's not like you can just erase the events that happened. Luke got beat up by Brandon and was left all bloody and bruised up. You were holding me back from doing anything until I slapped you. I don't understand why you care so much about me forgiving you." She yelled.
Emily's POV
"I already told you I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't take back those events. I'm sorry about what happened to Luke. I'm fucking sorry" I said.
"You still haven't answered my question Calum. Why would you betray your own best friend? Why would you agree with all the nonsense they say? Why would care whether or not I forgive you?"
"I didn't want to betray my best friend. I only agreed with them because I needed to keep a reputation around school. And I care because...I love you."
"What?"
"Remember that day I told you that I couldn't tell you how I really felt about you until I break up with Lauren? Well, that happened."
"Still not understanding" I said.
"Here's how I really feel. Age 16, we sorta split. Don't know what happened but we started to hate each other. I became the person that I am today. I've slept with tons of girls and then left them by morning. Only to fill the hole that you left when you walked out of my life. Lauren came along and we started to date. Longest relationship I've ever been in. 4 months...not the best but it's a record for me. I've never stopped loving you. I've always cared. I wanted to make sure you didn't lose your virginity unless it was a great guy. Carter. I acted like I never cared. Like you should have sex whenever. I do...Care. I want your first time to be special. I stole your first kiss, for a reason. I didn't actually realize that I needed you this much until I realized you would never be mine. You turned 18 and I made that album. The one full of pictures of the two of us. I made it all. Out of my heart and soul. For you. You turned into a legal adult, a beautiful grown woman...Now you know." He started to run upstairs to his room.
"Calum, wait" I yelled.
"What" he said turning around.
"You love me?"
"...Yes" he said.
"Oh, okay" I said turning around to walk away, but then I heard him say,"I knew you weren't gonna say it back."
"I'm sorry, but I can't" I said.
"I just poured my heart out about my feelings to you and you can't even say I love you back."
"I have a boyfriend, I can't tell you I love you back though" I said.
"Then break up with Carter" he said.
"I can't" I yelled.
"Why not" Calum questioned.
"I just can't" I said.
He walked up to his room and slammed the door. I furrowed my eyebrows together.
Carter is one of my best friends. He's always been there. Ever since 10th grade. I can't just leave him for Calum. It would be impossible.
I went ahead and got ready for bed. While I was walking back from the bathroom I heard some soft singing in Calum's room. And a guitar? Wait, Calum plays guitar and sings? "We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out." He sang.
I've never heard of this song before but it was really good.
I laid on my right side on Instagram. Then I decided to text Calum. This time I'll be the annoying one and he'll be me.
Emily: Heyyyyy
Emily: I saw you read that damnit
Calum: :|
Emily: Why do you hate me
Calum: Were you even listening to me earlier? I said I LOVE you
Emily: Stop doing that
Calum: Doing what?
Emily: Saying I love you
Calum: I do though
Emily: We have school tomorrow
Calum: Stop trying to get out of this conversation
Emily: We were in a conversation?
Calum: You're so annoying
Emily: You're a big jerk
Calum: You know what else is big? My dick
And he's back...Sexual cocky Calum is back.
Emily: I don't care about down under
Calum: Where is down under? 😏
Emily: Do you want me to come over to your room and punch you?
Calum: ...Yes
The door downstairs opened,"EMMMMMM. I BROUGHT YOU SOME PIZZA FROM THAT PLACE YOU LIKE A LITTLE BUT OUT OF SYDNEY."
Emily: Now that's a friend 😂😊👌🏼
Calum: 😐💩
I ran downstairs and hugged him.
"You're back."
"Yea, my mom had the flu and my dad needed to go to work so I had to go take care of her."
"Oh, is she fine now?"
"Yea. Feeling better. I might go visit her again tomorrow just in case so you might want to find a ride home" he said.
"Okay" I nodded.
He handed me the box of pizza. "Damnit I already brushed my teeth."
Calum: Then eat, then brush them again
I chuckled.
"Was that Carter" Michael questioned.
"Nope" I winked putting the pizza in the fridge. I went back up to my room and got into bed.
Calum: You're crazy. The pizza isn't gonna be as good tomorrow
Emily: I'm seriously gonna go punch you
Calum: Cum at me 😏
Emily: CALUM 😂😂
I got up out of bed and opened the door to his room. I was going to jump on him but instead he wrapped his arms around me.
