Going big

Chpt9: Negative

Sarah froze at all the negative comments that kept rolling through her phone.

"dumb slut"

"just another hookup for him"

" Oh look he found a new groupie"

Calum looked devastated that people would comment on someone they knew nothing about... so they were holding hands, everyone does it.

Sarah finally shut her phone off before meeting Calums gaze.

"Why are they so rude... they don- they dont even know me" Sarah chocked out trying not to let the rude people of the internet get to her, but it was really hurting.

"They just, think of me as a possession and not a real human being. Its kind of sad to say but most of them claim me" he said wiping a tear that started falling from Sarah's eyes.

"Come on, lets get out of here and have some real fun" Calum smiled trying to cheer Sarah up.

He grabbed her hand, basically dragging her out of the little cafe and pulled out his phone to search up something.

"What are you looking up" Sarah asked going up on her tippy toes so she could see over Calums shoulder. He was so much taller than her, she felt like a little kid next to him.

"Hey, this is a surprise" Calum says trying to hide his phone from Sarah.
"Are we going to a carnival? I love carnivals, I always win at those water gun shooting games" Sarah said, her face lighting up with excitement.Calum typed something in before looking up to see what street they were on.

He started walking before turning around to face Sarah, " are you coming or not" He said holding out his hand for her to grab. She grabbed his hand and interlaced their fingers together. Butterflies began to fill Sarahs stomach as they began the journey to who knows where.

"So let me get this straight;you play in a band, sneak out of school and dont do anything besides the band?" Sarah asked looking at Calum who was to busy trying to figure out whether to turn left or right. The warm summer breeze filled the air with the smell of wild flowers.

"Yeah pretty much, mum doesn't know I skip school. Ashton always picks us up and we drive off to his house and rehearse in his garage" He said finally realizing they had to turn right.

"Wait where do you rehearse?" Sarah asked, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion. She had a hard time understanding the boys thick Australian accent.

"Ashtons garage.. why is that strange to you?" He shoots back, wondering why she was so taken back by this information.

"Ohhhh like where you park a car, sorry I couldn't understand your accent" Sarah mumbles the last part hoping he wouldnt catch it. Obviously he caught that Sarah had a hard time understanding and laughed at how he didnt catch this earlier.

"You have a hard time understanding me?" He asks dodging a tree branch that hung over the sidewalk. Sarahs face immediately flushing red, her eyes shot down to the sidewalk and she immediately began to bite her nail with her only free hand.

"Your just so Australian" She begins to say but as she does they turn a corner and immediately see what Calum was searching up. Sarahs mouth dropped as she took in her surroundings

"Oh my God" She said immediately let go of Calum hand as she walked out a little to make sure what she was looking at was real.

"Welcome to downtown Sydney" Calum says pointing to the Sydney opera house than to a strip that was well known in Syndey. Sarah looked around at all the different lights and taking in all the different smells from the little cafe on the corner to the beautiful ocean behind the opera house.

"This is so beautiful, Cal im speachless" Sarah says her eyes lighting up like a kid in a candy store.

" Well I told you Im going to take you to the heart of Sydney, what did you expect" He smirks pulling Sarah back towards him their faces inches apart from one anothers.

"What about.. your fans, the pictures, twitter" Sarah whispers, her eyes meeting Calums.

"Dont worry, youre safe. Im not going to let them hurt you in any way" He says closing the space between them, their lips finally meeting just for a second. Sarah pulled away and looked at Calum before burying her face in his chest and wrapping her arms around his torso. Calum laughed, hugging Sarah in return before he pulled away.

" Lets go" Calum says running towards the opera house, hoping Sarah would follow right behind and of course she would.

"Calum I cant run in these shoes" Sarah whined while trying to catch up with Calum who was running like his life depended on it. He finally reached the steps to the opera house before turning around to see Sarah at the bottom of the stairs, she had a confused look on her face as if she had no clue what was going to happen next. Calum cleared his throat before trying to attempt to do opera.

He noticed all the weird looks he was getting but he didnt care, he looked over to Sarah who stood at the bottom of the stairs bent over laughing so hard tears were streaming down her face. Calum finally gave up and walked down the stairs to meet Sarah who couldnt stop laughing.

" You should really stick to the band" Sarah says between laughing fits. Calum laughed with her, Sarahs laugh was so loud and outrageous that he couldnt help but laugh with her.

After 10 minutes of gut wrenching laughter Calum finally caught his breathe.  Sarah was still giggling to herself while texting away on her phone, probably to her friends back at the hotel. He pulled out his phone to check the time 7:00, the sun was going to start setting and he knew exactly where to go.

He grabbed Sarah's phone before taking her hand into his and walking quickly in a direction Sarah knew nothing about, but Calum knew she would love it.
