Chapter 12

After trying to call Michael 5 times with no answer, i finally called Calum. I feel so bad for possibly bothering his parents, but i dont know what else to do.

"c-calum?" i said into the phone.

"whats wrong?"

"can i stay with you for the weekend? please?" i tried my best not to cry.

"of course. ill wait outside for you." he told me, then hung up. Im so happy that even though Calum and I broke up, we are still really close. I know that him and Luke are the closest out of everyone, but i need someone right now.

When i pulled up, a shirtless Calum in sweatpants was sitting on the porch with his head in his hands.

"whats wrong?" i asked, startling him. 

"Morgan and I broke up." he said. Thats strange. i know they never really see eachother anymore. It just seems like everything is crashing down. Ashton and Misha are really the only two that arent having problems, or at least that we know of. "so why are you here?" he then asked.

"remember how luke said he was with Jack all day? well he wasnt, he was with Kayla." i told him, and his mouth dropped. Then, he pulled out his phone and text someone, then put it away.

"why?" he asked and i shrugged.

"i dont know. as soon as he said he was with Kayla i left, she is a bitch and they had sex." i told him, and he nodded.

"makes sense. lets go inside, my parents and sister are away for the weekend." he told me, and i instantly felt relieved. When we walked in, i gasped. His house is beautiful. I have never actually been inside. Ive just picked calum up and dropped him off occasionally. Everyone always hung at my house, and i wasnt sure why.

"you can have my bed, ill sleep on the couch." he told me, and shook my head.

"no its okay. ill sleep down here." i said.

"noo. you can sleep on my bed and ill sleep on the floor. deal?"

"deal." i said, shaking Cals hand. I followed him to his room, and it was interesting. It wasnt like Lukes. It was clean and organized. He had three basses lined up in the corner, and his bed was ginormous. I looked over at Calum and he was leaning against the wall on his phone.

"i like the nose piercing." he looked up and said. I nodded as a way of saying thank you. He looked down my arm and saw i was still carrying my bag, he took it away from me and sat it on the end of the bed. "are you hungry?" he asked.

I looked down at my hands and was playing with the end of my tshirt. "have you heard from Michael?" i looked up, "he hasnt talked to me all day. he sends my calls right to voicemails and reads my texts, but doesnt answer."

"um, i just text him a little while ago, he was with Ashton and Luke." he told me. I sighed and stood up, walking downstairs. I walked to the kitchen and looked through the pantry, my stomach growling when i saw the Smores Oreos.

"oh well you dont hesitate to make yourself at home." Calum laughed a little and i couldnt help but feel kinda bad. 

"oh. im sorry. ill put them back." i walked over to the pantry and returned them to their original spot.

"i was joking babe. whats wrong?" he asked. And i got butterflies when he called me babe. Ever since i got here to Australia he has called me that. I miss Calum and I's relationship, it was so stressfree. But is it really love if there is no stress?

"luke." i quietly said, and he just sighed.

About 10 minutes passed when Calum jumped up and sat on the floor in front of me. "i know what will boost your mood, how about we go to my friends party tonight. Get your mind off of things."

I just looked at him. As good as that offer sounded, i just wanted to stay in tonight.

"can we just stay in and play some board games and just dance?" i asked, smiling slightly. He shook his head vigorously and i hugged him.

"wanna play monopoly first? i know thats your favorite." he smiled. I shook my head, and he went to get it from upstairs. I walked over to the window, looking out it at two kids playing in the front yard next door. Suddenly, a car drove by and it was Lukes. Michael and Ashton were in the back, and im so happy they didnt stop here.

Luke

Tonight my friend Ethan was having a party, and i figured i would go. Just to get my mind off of everything. It is clear that Samantha doesnt want to talk to me, so why should i try? 

"lets go get Cal." i suggested as Michael, Ashton, and I walked out of the house.

"umm.. not a good idea. Samantha is staying there while whatever is happening, happens." Ashton said as he got into my car, and Michael just shrugged, following Ashton. I groaned, of all the people she could be with, it had to be her exboyfriend. I got in the car and drove, being sure to turn the radio up really loud when we passed Calums house,  I think i saw Samantha standing at the window, but maybe it was just me being dumb.

Its now about 10 at night, and im fucking wasted. At first, i refused to have anymore then 1 drink, but i couldnt help myself honestly. 

"hey bro. im gonna head home. im not feeling to great." i yelled to michael over the loud music, and he nodded, dancing with some girl.

I got in the car which i know isnt a very safe thing to do, but who cares. I drove, not sure if i am in my lane or the other one. I turned on some music, hopefully to help me sober up a little. I passed Calums house, and saw the living room lights are still on. That bastard. With my girl?!

I parked the car very badly in calums driveway, and walked up to the door, barging in.

Samantha

Calum and i were in the middle of dancing to She Looks So Perfect, and he really sucks at it. At this point i couldnt even hold back my laughter anymore. I was laughing so hard, i was crying. I laid down on the couch, and Calum sat next to me laughing as well.

"youre so fucking dumb." i told him, standing up and turning on Best Song Ever. i looked at Calum "get up and dance with me!"

Just as Calum stood up, the door flew open and a drunk Luke came running in. great.

"what the fuck are you doing Luke?" i asked. He didnt respond and was stumbling everywhere. He walked, well stumbled, over to Calum and got in his face.

"luke if you hurt him we are done." i said, and he backed up, walking over to me. He put his hand on my cheek, looking into my eyes. I could never get tired of those piercing blue eyes. Maybe i should hear what he has to say. wait, no. he hurt me, and i cant go running back the first time he does something to help our relationship. and, hes drunk.

"can we just go to sleep?" i asked calum. He nodded, leading me upstairs. When we got up there, Calum started to lay down on the floor.

"wait. lay with me. theres enough room." i told him. he smiled, and laid in bed next to me, being sure to keep his distance. i wasnt facing him, i was instead facing the wall covered in posters.

"you deserve better Samantha." he said, and i acted like i was sleeping. Maybe hes right. Maybe i do deserve better.
