Alaska's POV
As the night went on, I ended up losing Ashton. Calum wasn't to say poor, so his house was big as shit. Unfortunately, big houses and drunk Alaska didn't mix well.
I just swayed to the music through the crowds, occasionally being grinded on, until I reached the kitchen. When I finally saw Ashton I was sick to my stomach.
There he was, licking the last drop of alcohol off of Lila Summer's bare stomach, then his lips meeting hers in a hungry kiss, practically eating her face.
Most girls, would run off crying, and in despite of their sadness, kiss their true love and feel better. But me, I was gonna kick his ass.
I walk towards the two, still kissing and grab Ashton by the hair, moving his face towards me.
"Oh Al, um I can explain." He says laughing once again, like causing me pain was a joke.
"I don't need a god damn explanation Ashton! Your ruthless ass comes along telling me that I mean something to you, taking me on a date. Just to go back to the girl you were with in the first place!"
"Alaska... They paid me to date you. They said that it was part of a umm game." He says, clearly drunken speech, but I got the message.
What fucking game? And why was I a part of it?
"Who?"
"Derek and um.. Those guys."
Of course, I knew that getting involved with Calum would start something, but right now I could care less.
I was heartbroken, heartbroken that my own best friend would take money to date me. And angry. Angry at myself for even trusting him, and angry at myself for ever thinking he cared.
"Well fuck you Ashton." I say, feeling tears in the pit of my stomach.
I knew I couldn't let it show, because I wasn't weak, and I refused to cry, no matter what. I would never cry over a boy.
All I wanted was to get out of this party I shouldn't have gone to in the first place. As I start to walk out, Calum grabs my arm and pull me into an empty room.
"What the hell Calum?" I say snatching my arm from his hand.
"What happened with Ashton." He says looking at me contently.
"Oh nothing he just completely fucked me over and cheated on me with Lila. He said he was being payed by Derek, because it was part of a stupid game."
I could see him tense up. His eyes glazed, but he blinked it away.
"Hey, I'll beat his ass tomorrow. Not today because I don't want you to hurt anymore than you are now." He says, causing me to smile.
All the sudden I knew someone cared, and it all felt better.
He grabs my hand and pulls me in for a hug, his buff arms wrapping around my shoulders. It felt like a missing puzzle piece that had been put into places.
Calum's POV
Seeing Alaska the way she was heartbreaking. The odd part was she wasn't crying. I could feel her taking heavy breaths and releasing them with a sigh. She stayed in my arms for about a minute before letting go and looking up at me.
Our lips were inches away, almost being pulled together. I stopped myself, that's not what she needed right now. That's not what she needed ever. I could never be with her, and I knew that too.
"Let's get you out of here okay?" I say, her nodding.
"Sorry for breaking down on you these past few days." She says.
"Hey, it's okay. Sometimes you have to breakdown to feel better."
She smiles. "Thanks Calum, it honestly means a lot, more then you think."
During the car ride all I could think about was the game. I didn't know what the game was, or why Alaska was a part of it. She didn't deserve to be hurt like this, nobody does. I knew her getting involved with me would cause issues and I felt horrible.
I knew Luke and Mike were gonna freak out about Ashton cheating, and I didn't want her to witness that. I guess I was trying to protect her from so many things.
But the main thing I should be protecting her from is me.
Alaska helped me to realize who I was, and I hated it. I hated who I was, and I had never realized until I met her.
It was awful knowing that I could never hold her, or I would never be able to kiss her in the rain like a lame movie scene.
I didn't know what I was feeling, but some people could call it love.
