The Not a Date, Date

*Avery's point of view* 

My body jolted itself awake. I was lying in my own sweat, drenched. I looked over at the clock 5:27 AM. And be before I knew it my body was lunging itself in to the bathroom. I barley made it to the toilet before I started vomiting. I puked and puked for I don't know how long, my whole body aching.   

My phone woke my up the second time at 10:03 Am with a text from Calum. 

TO: AVERY

Get ready for our date tonight it going to be the  best one yet!!

FROM: CALUM 

TO: CALUM

I can't make it on our date tonight. I'm sick. Sorry!

FROM:  AVERY

I look at myself in the mirror. Mascara running down my face, bags under my eyes and, dried vomit in my hair. Greaaattt. I quickly show and clean off and crawl back into bed. Why did I think eating grocery store sushi would be a good idea yesterday. I knew It was sketchy and I didn't it anyway. Who buys sushi from the grocery store? Me. 

The shitty part about all this is I was really looking foreword to that date with Calum. I think he is going to win this bet and I have no idea what to do after the bet is over because he is going to break my heart. I'm going to let him break my heart. I waited for Calum text me back. Maybe a 'I hope you are feeling better' or 'be sure to get plenty of rest' I even would have settled for 'that sucks' but, he didn't text me. Why was I letting myself get feeling for a guy who I know doesn't feel the same way about me. This is just a game to Calum. I'm just a game to Calum. 

My only real friend here is Netflix. I pull out my laptop and start on season three of Grey's and Anatomy. These cute doctors will take my mind off off the lack of cute doctors in my real life and the lack of Calum in my life too. 

"Avery there is someone here for you." Trey yells through my door. 

"Hey." Calum says as he enters my room." I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I made you some chicken noodle soup. Well, my mom made you some chicken noddle soup. I don't even know if you like chicken noodle soup but, it always makes me feel better. I hope you like it. I also brought some movies we could watch since you are not feeling the whole date thing tonight. " He's rambling on. WHY IS HE TALKING SO MUCH? WHY DID HE BRING ME SOUP? OMG. 

"What kind of movies did you bring?" I ask. 

"She's The Man and 17 Again." He smiles at my sheepishly. "I didn't know what kind of movies you like so I just stole these from my sisters collection." He gives me that 'nervously looking down and  his hands in his pockets' look. 

"17 Again is fine." Then I realize that I am not even wearing any make up or a BRA. I don't have a bra on in front of Calum Hood. Good thing this sweatshirt is so big you can't even really tell. "Okay, I'll go get some bowls and spoons for the soup. You put the movie in?" 

"Yeah, that's fine. " I smile at him as I leave. 

I quickly run down stairs throw a bra on and put on a little bit of mascara.    

*Calum's point of View* 

When Avery canceled our date I don't know why but, I just got so sad I had to see her. I lied about my mom making the soup. I made it but, I can't come off to clingy. I can't have Avery think that I am falling for her. How can she look so beautiful with hardly any make up on. 

"You put the movie in?" Avery says on her arrival. 

"Yeah, I hope it's good. I've never seen this movie." I look for a place to sit."I'm not much in to chick flicks." 

"Who doesn't love a good romcom?" 

"I don't even know what that means." All she does is smile a smile that sends shivers down my spine. 

"Why are you sitting on the ground? This is a king size bed there is plenty of room for you." I must have given her a strange look. "I'm going to build a wall of pillows so you can stay on your side okay?"

I wake up and Avery is in my arms. Her hair smells like strawberries. I feel like I should move back to my side of the bed but, I just can't let go of her. She feels like home.
