madeline's pov

it's been storming for a few days. major roads are shut down and rehearsals are paused. scarlett's always checking in on me seeing if i need anything or if im okay. i guess she's worried.

it's supposed to ease off tonight. so naturally chloe is throwing a party.

scarlett
i know it's been hard to get out recently with the storm. but colin's going out now, do you need anything from anywhere? we can bring it to you.

madeline
i'm okay scarlett. thank you though!

scarlett
no problem honey, seriously let me know if you need anything.

i feel bad that she worries for me so much but i don't know what to do to get her to stop. anyway, the girls were all discussing who's coming and chloe said i should bring violet. i agreed saying ill text her.

i dont know what it is i just love to talk to her and love hanging out with her.

madeline
hey V wanna come to a party tonight

violet
i don't know, amber and her mum have been fighting and i have to be there for both of them

madeline
violet i understand you're a caring person but it's not your job.

violet
i know i know im sorry

madeline
no, you have nothing to be sorry for
just let me know if you can come
i want you there

violet
i'll do my best :)

after reporting back to the girls i roll back over where caleb was asleep in his bed. i cuddle up to his chest. he had snuck in here this morning. his mum still not letting us sleep in the same room.

after 2 days of no power and me throwing out most of the food in my fridge i asked caleb if i could come over.

i needed to charge my laptop and phone and everything. i told scarlett this too and she was happy i was finally with someone else not alone in my apartment.

anyway, eventually i got hungry and ventured downstairs for a coffee or something only for the smell of waffles to hit me the second i got downstairs. which changed my mind immediately. downstairs charlie greeted me and i sat on the floor to pet him.

calebs mum noticed me and said good morning. from there we went into a long conversation as she made more breakfast for me.

i got a notification from my landlord that the power is back on and its about time. atleast i didnt have to pay for power for a few days. a while later caleb came downstairs once his mum and i had finished cleaning the kitchen. and wanted to mess it all up again.

his mum and i gave eachother a look and she shook her head leaving the room. i sat on the now clean bench as caleb gave me a goodmorning kiss.

"chlos throwing another party tonight" i told him.

"oh? pool party this time?"

"yeah cause drunk teenagers and a pool always go well together" i shook my head at him and he kissed my jaw.

"ill keep you safe" he chuckled and i rolled my eyes at him. it was a teacher development day today so we didnt have school. my phone buzzed again and it was violet this time.

violet

im so sorry to ask but is it okay if amber comes, i promise if its going to be awkward we dont have to come

madeline

yeah its fine, to be honest none of us will probably notice one more.

if shes drinking though she will have to bring something.

violet

yeah thats fine, thank you so much

madeline

its okayy

im glad you can come!

i go and have a shower in calebs bathroom and put one of his tshirts on after. then i climbed back into his bed the warmth comforting.

i used my phone to make a list of everything i needed to do. 5 minutes later caleb came in and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"yes?" i questioned with a laugh as he didn't say anything.

"come to the gym with me" he said lifting me over his shoulder effortlessly.

"only if you come to my pilates class tomorrow, sienna backed out"
"too easy" he chuckled never having been to one.

and so by now i had enough clothes at calebs so we didn't have to go back to my apartment.
after getting ready we, well i said goodbye to his family and he drove us to the gym.

on the drive there i receive another message from work.

importantworkguy
rehearsals start again tomorrow at 10am

i hearted the message and turned my phone off.
caleb had his hand on my thigh and was talking about how he misses me at school and then asks how rehearsals are going.

i started to absolutely ramble at how much i loved it only to stop when i see him fighting a grin.

"shut up" i hit him at the stop light.
"i didn't say anything! i think it's cute"

we pulled into the car park and i hopped out with my bag over my shoulder.

inside unfortunately his gym friends were there which meant it was about 2 hours of flexing in the mirror. i greet them all and they all greet me the same way.

one of them though seems to have a girlfriend now so i go over to introduce myself.

"hey-"
"who are you"
"i'm madeline, caleb's girlfriend"
"sure, don't go touching my boyfriend again" and then she walked off. okay then.

i left them and went to the stair master.
caleb didn't even notice.
i threw my jumper on the time and kept going.

hands on hips i felt like i could collapse but atleast that's the only thing i could think about.

i open my eyes when someone touches my arm. it was a girl around my age.
"i'm so sorry to ask but how much longer do you have, there's no other machines"

"oh no it's my fault, here i'm done" i stopped and wiped down the handles and screen. lifting my jumper i see its only been 40 minutes.

"you didn't have to get off right away, im sorry"
"no seriously it's okay" i gave her a smile and took a long needed sip of my water.

now to find caleb.
