Anywhere but here |Calum Hood|

xix.

Michael and I loved to talk about our own life ever since we split. "I'm glad you could be happy for yourself sis," he pat me on the thigh. I was so frustrated that I could lie so much in one day. Even to my own brother. "I'll be right back," I smiled and went to the kitchen to get a cup of water.

My phone rang as I could hear from downstairs and my heartbeat got faster. It could be Calum. It could be anyone but Michael would know. I thought to myself.

I poured the water into my cup as quick and briskly walked back go to my room when I heard Michael ask, "Hey Y/N, who's this guy Calum?" his voice made me feel guilty.

As I was standing in front of the door, I stared at my phone which was still ringing in Michael's hand and to him. "Whatever it is, don't answer, I can't-" I persuaded him despite knowing how stubborn he was. Before I could finish my sentence, Michael answered the call, "Hello?

Calum on the phone

Hey um. Look I was wrong, I was stupid. Even after a million years, I'm at fault.
If I could come over, please, I'll explain. Please, uh, you're not what to lose for. Y/N we need each other. Mostly, I need you. I know those promises I made, I'm here to prove you i'm worth another chance. Please? I let out a huge sigh. Tears started forming in my eyes but I tried to hold them back. Nothing ever mattered to me more than this.

I scanned Michael's expression and my phone. He looked at me then hang up the call. He stood up and approached me. "You could've told me! What am I here for Y/N?!" Michael flattered at me. It made me feel like I was such a waste of time. Such a burden. "I don't know how to explain. Don't scold me," I cupped my mouth and started crying. My knees fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"No,no Y/N, please don't," Michael grabbed my hands then pulled me into him as he gave me a tight hug. "It's never your fault Y/N. You know i'm always here for you. You should think about that okay?" He rubbed my hair as I rested on his chest and felt his steady heartbeat.

I never meant to hurt anyone I love. I never mean to betray.

"Let's not waste time okay. We need to eat soon. We'll talk about it later," he walked away. I inhaled deeply and my eyes were so sore from all the crying.

The tension when Michael talked to you. Like Michael???? Why are you here?? I mean why now???? When you're facing problems??
