Unpredictable 》h.s.

Chapter 9

My mother didn't bother to come into my room at all yesterday after she woke up and left so i just stayed in there trying to escape getting in trouble. I didn't get any sleep last night either, all of this has been bugging me.

I have to talk to Calum again or maybe even Harry to figure out what i dont know.

I decide to call Harry. I find his number in my contacts forgetting I got it from him earlier.

He answers on the 4th ring. "Hello" He says in a sleepy voice.

"Hey Harry, it's me... um I need to talk to you about what you said to me earlier."

"Seriously, it's six in the fucking morning and I'm tired, now leave me alone" he doesn't say it in a rude way but hangs up the phone and that's when i actually realize how early it is.

I lay back down in bed trying to fall back asleep but fail to do so. Instead, I decide to call Calum. Again.

"Hey, are you asleep?" I ask when I don't hear ringing anymore.

"No, I'm skydiving" he says in a sarcastic tone and I just rolled my eyes.

"Haha very funny" he chuckles into the phone and I smile.

"It's six in the morning, is everything okay? Did something happen?" I can hear his tone get more worried and I can tell that all the possibilities of what could be wrong are running through his head.

"No, everything's okay i guess...I just can't sleep. I know you said you didn't want to talk about it but it's bugging me so bad, I need to know Calum." I wait patiently for a response but only get a sigh.

"Calum, please talk to me... if we're going to be friends you need to trust me. I don't know what this is all about but I'm in the dark here.." this time it was me sighing.

"Mia, i know you're trying to help and everything but this isn't as easy to talk about as you think it is" I can hear him constantly swallowing and his nerves show through his voice.

"I don't even know what IT is... for all i know, you could have killed someone or something. I just need to know if it's serious or not Calum, I'm really worried and i just need some answers. You don't have to explain everything i just need enough so i can actually function like a normal human being. I can't sleep Calum and knowing at least something is the only thing that'll help me right now. I'm sorry."

"That's not my problem Mia. If you're going to keep bugging me about something I don't want to tell you then maybe we shouldn't even be friends. If you're not going to leave it alone when i ask you to then just go. I've had enough of this, just leave me alone." With that he hangs up the phone. Tears slowly run down my cheek. Does he really not want to be friends anymore? Maybe I should just leave.

Before I know it, I'm grabbing a small bag and start stuffing things into it. I don't know what i put inside but I  exit my room along with a sweater and a pair of shoes and walk downstairs. I leave a note on the counter telling my mother I had gone out for a walk, even though that's not true. I have no clue where I'm going but I'm still crying while my feet carry me along the sidewalk. I put my sweater on and pull the hood on top of my head to hide my face. I'm so ugly when i cry and I'm sure if anyone saw me, they'd think the same.

I'm not sure where I've gone and hadn't realized it was raining but i was now on someone's porch and knocking on their door. I seriously have no clue what i am doing but i guess everything besides my head knows what is going on. I turn around still hiding from the world inside my hood and sit on the stairs. I have my head in my hands and my sleeves are now completely soaked. I don't know if it is because of my tears or the rain but i don't really care. I am about to stand and start walking again but i feel a hand on my shoulder.

I turn around to see who it is and looked into a pair of emerald eyes. I stand up and rush into his arms and start sobbing again.

His soft voice speeks. "It's okay, Mia. I've got you, come inside where it's warm, it's going to be alright"

Still holding onto me, he walks us inside and sets me on the couch. He takes off my wet sweater and wraps a blanket around my shaking body. He sits next to me and holds my hand.

"What happened love?" He says in the most caring voice. I look up into his eyes not wanting to talk. Sensing that, he wraps his arms around me and i leaned into him. He lays down on the couch bringing me with him and covers the both of us up with the blanket. He hums a soft melody into my ear and plays with my fingers while holding me close to his body. I don't know what to think about what we were doing so i dont. All i can do is listen to his soothing melody, his steady heartbeat and slowly, I drift off to sleep.
