Behind the Music

Chapter 24

Bella's POV

"Hey B, what's for dinner?" Calum asked and I told him my moms making lasagna with some vegetables.

I'm really glad my parents didn't interrogate him as soon as he walked in here, but I'm counting down the seconds until they do. It's not like them to not ask Calum anything about him yet even though I've told them some things but maybe theirs something he hasn't told me yet.

"Nice shirt, no band tee today huh?" I asked and he smiled.

"Yeah Luke and Ash thought I should were something without a band on it so yeah,"

"Well, you look great," I said and he kissed my cheek and my parents called us in the dining room to eat.

We all sat in the dining room and Calum sat next to me with Zayn on his right and my mum and dad across from us.

"So Calum, you're in a band?" my dad asked. Here we go with his 100 questions.

"Yeah I am, I just joined a month ago because they needed a bass player," he replied and Richard placed our food in front of us.

"Do you play any other instruments?" my mum asked.

"I do actually, I play piano," he replied and I looked at him. I never knew that.

"Isabella's told us about your living arrangements, how did you find the time to learn?"

"From all the schools I've been to their was a music room, and I taught myself, and before my dad left me he gave me his guitar and I messed around with it before Edgar adopted me," he said.

"How long have you been homeless?"

"Since I was 11," he replied.

"You poor thing, thank god you were found," my mom said with a pitied look on her face.

"Yeah or else I wouldn't be in a band, and I wouldn't have met Bella," he said and I felt my face heat up.

"How sweet," my mom said.

"Gross," Zayn grumbled eating his salad.

"Zayn Javadd!" my dad said meaning for Zayn to shut up.

We continued eating and as Richard took our plates my dad suggested Calum leave because we all have school tomorrow.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Calum, you seem like the right fit for our Isabella," my dad said and I groaned as he said my full name again.

"Well I'm glad, I love Isabella," he said and looked at me and winked.

"Good night Calum," my mum said and Calum then left and my parents continued talking about him. I'm glad they liked him and now I have to hear about it until our wedding day. Zayn and I went to our rooms and got ready for bed.

"Hey Bells, the boys and I have another interview with Simon tomorrow, you wanna come?" Zayn asked as I brushed my hair in the bathroom.

"Yeah sure, seems important since you're asking me to come," I replied.

"It is and we might be talking about when our tour is starting," he said.

"What are you worried about?" I asked seeing the nervous look in his eyes.

"I'm worried we'll be gone from home for a long time," he said and I put my brush down and gave him a hug.

"Everything will be fine, no matter what happens you'll be supported, ok?" I asked and he nodded.

"Thanks Bells, goodnight," he said and walked to his room

As I walked to my room I re thought about what Zayn said. What if Simon asks them to leave next month? And for a year or so? That means a year without Zayn.......and a year without Calum.
