Opia

Chapter SEVEN

"Shhh, you're going to wake up people", Cora said as she dragged a drunk Arabella out the elevator. "Have I ever told you guys how much I like your shoes", Arabella said slowly as she looked at Calum and Cora's shoes.

Luke went home after the movie despite wanting to go back to to the hotel to help deal with Arabella but, Cora insisted she could take care of Arabella. Calum came along with Arabella and Cora deciding to stay with Hadley for the night. Michael decided to crash at Luke's house as he was fairly tipsy. It was obviously Michael and Cora's idea to sneak in alcohol into the drive in. They all had a couple of drinks except for Luke, as usual. They were all surprised when Arabella decided to drink the most. It wasn't like her and now they all know why she doesn't do it a lot.

"Yes, Arabella, you've told us five times since we've been in the car", Stella said. "Oh my god is that a penny", Arabella cooed before trying to reach down to grab it. "Arabella, we're about to fall down stop", Cora said, breathlessly as she struggled to pick Arabella back up. Calum quickly walked over to them as he swept Arabella off the ground throwing her over his back. "You are never drinking ever, ever again", He said as he walked behind Cora to their hotel room. Cora quickly opened the hotel door pointing to the bed she wanted Calum to set her on. He gently threw her on the bed as she giggled looking up at the ceiling. "The room is spinning that's so crazy", She said in awe looking around the ceiling. "Thank you, Calum", Arabella said as she side eyed the drunk brunette. "No problem", He said smiling a little before heading towards the door. "Goodnight Calum Poo", Arabella slurred as Cora snorted at her.

Calum shook his head at himself before closing the door behind him making his way to Hadley's door. It was surprisingly unlocked. He quietly opened the door. The entire room was dark and eerily silent. "Hello", He whispered dragging out the o. He heard the bed squeak followed by the sheets being moved around. He reached around rubbing the wall to try and find a light switch. He quickly flipped it on to find Hadley lying in the huge bed, her back turned to him. It was obvious she was awake as she moved her hair out of her face flipping it over her shoulder.

He walked over to the bed before collapsing on it breathing out a sigh. "You will not believe who got shitfaced tonight", He exclaimed as he put his arms under his head, staring up at the ceiling. Hadley rolled over with a lazy half smile plastered to her face. "Who?", She half whispered thinking he would say Michael or Cora. "Arabella got wasted and we had to leave early because she tried to breakdance almost breaking her neck", He replied laughing as he thought about Arabella trying to stand on her hands smacking Luke in the face with her foot. "I wish I could've seen that", She said, propping her head up with her arm. "If you would've came you could have", Calum said with annoyance in his tone. He didn't quite understand why she couldn't hang out with them and see a movie. Isn't that considered relaxing? Hadley rolled her eyes before laying on her back, grabbing her phone from the side table. He glanced over at her watching her tap happily away on her phone. "Really?", he said before sitting up in the bed turning his body towards her. She completely ignored him as she continued texting on her phone. "Who are you always texting that's more important than me?", He continued already feeling his face getting hot. "It's no one geez", Hadley said, quickly locking her phone. "It's obviously someone because it's all you do when you're with me lately", He replied glaring at her. "I'm not going to deal with this tonight", Hadley said as she threw the covers off her. She quickly got up revealing a small nightgown she was wearing. She walked into the bathroom with Calum following closely behind. "Deal with what? With me confessing how I feel when you ignore me all the time because you're on your phone? I sacrifice a lot for you, you know? I spend more time with you than I do my own band mates these days", He yelled as she started grabbing her things from the bathroom. "Then go spend your time with your bandmates", She spat back at him, rushing past him back into the bedroom. She grabbed her suitcase spilling things into it before zipping it up. "Where are you going?", He said walking towards the door in a sad attempt of blocking her. She slipped on her shoes looking at him. "i'm leaving because I don't want to deal with your obsessiveness", She said as she walked past him. "In your nightgown? You're walking out in a nightgown, Hadley", He exclaimed grabbing her arm, "Where are you going?"

She snatched her arm back before replying to him, "I don't fucking care and it doesn't concern you" "It kind of does when I'm your boyfriend", He uttered. She opened the door and glanced back at him. "I'm going to Ashton's because he said I can to cool down", She stated before closing the door behind her. 

He stared at the door blankly letting it process in the back of his mind. Ashton. Ashton. Ashton. He continues to think about the way Ashton helped her with her suitcase. The way they shared glances at each other. Both being on their phones at the same time. He thought about how coincidental it was for them to both stay back tonight. Then it clicked. Ashton and Hadley are going behind his back. He quickly grabbed the doorknob, yanking the door open. He looked down the hallway noticing Hadley had just pressed the down button for the elevator. "Hadley, I swear to God", he yelled as he sprinted down the hallway. His head was pounding and he could barely breathe from all the thoughts that were intoxicating his mind. She turned around, shocked. He slowed down walking his way towards her. He glared at her, jerking her suitcase that was in front of her from her hold and throwing it. "You're cheating on me", He choked out. He was on the verge of a breakdown now that the words were out there. She looked at him with a mixture of shock and nervousness. "Calum- I can't-", She stuttered her eyes never leaving his. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath, "You're fucking Ashton"
