I'll Wait For You

Your P.O.V

"Ooh, how about this?" My mom asked putting up a pink flowy shirt that had a flower on it, I rolled my eyes "seriously mom? I'm not in the fourth grade anymore..." I said, I looked around and saw a nirvana tee shirt that was black, my eyes got wife with excitement "what about this?" I said holding the shirt in front of her face, she sighed "you have the same shirt at home Samantha" I rolled my eyes "that one is in white! Why can't I get this one?" She sighed and rubbed her temples "why can't you be a normal girl? Just for once pick something that doesn't have a band name on it." I scoffed and threw the shirt on the ground "you wouldn't understand, im leaving" I said dropping my skateboard on the tile, she widened her eyes "Samantha! If you get on that skateboard, your grounded!" She whispered angrily, I put one foot on my skateboard "well, then I guess I'm grounded" I said starting to ride, I heard my mom walk after me, but I was fast on my skateboard, I rode out of the store and down the street to the skate park. I rode into it and saw two of my friends sitting down at the top of the ramp, I skated to the top then sat down next to them. "Hey Sam, how was shopping?" Michael asked laughing, I hit his arm and scoffed "it was complete bullshit, my mom just wants me to be exactly like her..." I huffed, Alex half smiled at me "it's fine Sam, I know it sucks but at least you know that your mom will get over it" I sighed "I guess, I just wish that my mom understood better how I am, how we are..." I shook the thoughts from my mind as I stood up "I should probably head back now, I'm already grounded" Michael looked at me "alright, bye Sam" he said, I nodded and states riding my skateboard down the street, my house wasn't too far away from the skate park. I rode down a couple of streets until I got to mine, I opened the back gate then climbed up the side of the house, I threw my skateboard on the first roof then there it in my room, I climbed in through my window. I lyed back on my bed and sighed, I looked out my side window to see my mom pulling into the driveway, I sighed as I saw her and Raina run inside the house. After a few minutes my door opened "Samantha! You are in so much trouble!" She said loudly, I rolled my eyes "of course I am, what is it this time? A month? Ooh or maybe you could switch it up a bit and ground me for two" I said sarcastically "being rude won't get you anywhere, why would you do this? You didn't have to make a scene like that" she said loudly, I rolled my eyes "you don't understand me mom, only dad did..." I whispered the last part, my mom sighed "honey, I know you miss your father, I do too, but you have to move on" she rested her hand on my shoulder, I shrugged it off and stood up "you don't get to talk about dad, he was the only one who understood me, he was the only one that cared..." I felt the tears build up in my eyes, she sighed "oh honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset" I shook my head "it's fine, can I just be alone?" I asked, she nodded and opened my door "dinner will be ready at 5:30, I'll be downstairs if you need me" she said and closed the door behind her, I sat on my bed and felt the tears pour down my cheeks, I felt my phone buzz and I quickly wiped the tears away

From Cal
Are you ok? I heard yelling

To Cal
Yeah I'm ok, can you come over?

From Cal
I'll be right there

I set my phone down then a knock was placed on my window, I looked to see calum there, I quickly opened my window to let him in, he sat on my bed "ok, I brought movies and candy" I smiled "thanks cal, I just needed you right now, I mean your my best friend so I know you would understand" I say, he smiles and opens his arms "of course" I rest my head on his chest as he wraps a loose arm around me, he plays with my hair as I sigh "she brought up my dad again..." I said "I know how that gets to you, are you ok?" He asks "i guess, I just wish that she could understand me like my dad did, no one cares about me as much as he did.." Calum grabs my chin and makes me face him "hey, I care about you, in fact I care about you a lot" I smile "I know, but we've been best friends since the first grade, so it doesn't count" he smiles "yeah it does Sam, I really care about you..." He says slowly, he looks deeply into my eyes, I cough nervously "let's start the movie" I say nervously as I sit up, he scratches the back of his neck and walks over to the T.V. and puts in the movie, he waits back down next to me and turns it on "what movie is this?" I ask, he chuckles "our favorite" I smile big "mean girls?" He nods "you know me so well" I say leaning into his chest, he chuckled again "I know" he said smiling at the screen I turned my attention to the movie as I watched.

After the movie was over Calum turned the T.V. off, he faced me "let's play truth or dare" I nodded, we sat across from each other "Sam, truth or dare?" He asked in a funny voice, I giggled "truth" I said back, he stroked his chain and thought for a second "who was your first?" I bit my lip and looked down "well I-uh, you know this! Your my best friend, you know I haven't done it yet!" I whisper loudly, he chuckles "I know, I just love hearing you admit it..." He whispers in my ear "shut up, your still a virgin too!" I say loudly, Calum bites down on his lip "I know, I know" I giggle "Calum, truth or dare?" I ask, he smirks "dare" I smile "hmm, I dare you to...call Michael and tell him your pregnant!" He facepalms "how did I know this would happen, can I text him instead?" He asks "fine, but I get to check" he sighs and pulls out his phone, I hear him send the message, I put my hand out, he rolls his eyes and hands me the phone "Michael, I'm scared, I think I might be pregnant, wow, very good Calum, you should be a phone actor" I say, he squints "I don't think they have those, I punch his arm playfully "then make it a thing hood" he chuckles "truth or dare?" He asks, I think for a moment "dare" I say bluntly "I dare you, to come to the dance with me Friday..." He says, I chuckle "cal, I don't think Reese would like that..." Calum sighs "oh yeah, Reese, what do you even see in him Sam? I mean he's a total dick to you" he says "oh come on, Reese has his moments but he's sweet" Calum rolls his eyes and sits back up "I just don't understand why you do this to yourself Sam..." He looks into my eyes "what do you mean?" I ask, he scoffs and stands up "never mind, I'll see you tomorrow" he says walking out the window, I sigh as I lean back onto my bed "dinners ready!" My mom yells from downstairs, I get off of my bed and walk downstairs to the kitchen, I grab a seat at the table across from my mom and next to Raina "hey! You can't sit there! That's where Abby sits!" I roll my eyes "who's Abby?" I ask, she folds her arms "my friend" I look around "there's no one else here..." I say making hand gestures, she scoffs "she doesn't like you, that's why you can't see her" I roll my eyes "grow up Raina, what are you? 5?" She folds her arms again "10 in matter of fact" I face my mom who is on her phone, like always. Me and my mom never really had a relationship or got along, after my dad died it only got worse, Raina was always her favorite considering they were just like each other. I was more like my dad, we would always spend time together, he got me into bands and skating, even surfing, we were so much alike, I even look more like my dad than my mom. I was the only brunette left after my dad died, my mom and Raina are both blonde, witch kinda makes me wonder how we are related because I got everything from my dad. Everyone always thinks that I'm adopted or something because me and my mom look so different from each other. I sigh and starts eating my food, which was pasta, I notice that my mom is still on her phone "mom" I say quietly, no reply "mom" I say a bit louder, still no reply, I look over at Raina who is talking to her "friend" Abby "mom" I say louder, she looks up from her phone "what Sam? Im trying to read and email" she responds sassily, I sigh "never mind, sorry" I say playing with my pasta, she looks back down at her phone, push my plate forward "I'm not hungry anymore" I mumble getting up from my chair and stomping up the stairs, I close my door behind me, I scream into my pillow. I punch it cautiously then walk over to my window, I grab out my phone

To Cal
Up for a late night adventure?

From Cal
Anytime, meet me on the corner

To Cal
Ok, see you

From Cal
Bye

I take off my shorts and grab some ripped black jeans and slip them on me, then I grab my nirvana sweater and slip it on over my tank top. I grab my converse and lace them up, I grab my phone and put it in my pocket, I put my pillows under my covers to make it look like I was in my bed sleeping. I turned off my lights and opened my window and started climbing down the side of the house, I stated walking to the corner of my street. I saw a familiar hoodie and walked towards it, I tapped Calum on the shoulder "hey stranger" he said, I smiled "hey" he chuckled "are you as excited as I am about school tomorrow?" He said sarcastically, I giggled "yep, super duper!" I said, he laughed, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked carelessly down the dark street, I leaned my head in his shoulder "how's the band going? I haven't been to practice in a while" he smiles "it's actually going really well, I wrote a song" I stopped "really? Sing it for me" he smiled "right here, right now?" He asked "I giggled "yup, do it, I mean your like the best singer ever so why not?" He chuckled "uh-ok" he started singing, once he was done I smiled "Calum, that was so cool, I wish I could do something as cool as that" he lifted my chin "you can, your an awesome best friend, I couldn't have asked for a better one" I smiled "thanks" he wrapped his arm around me again "no, thank you...now let's go have some fun" I smiled as we started walking, we saw a 711 and walked inside, I ran and got our favorite drinks, Arizona green tea. Calum went and got our chips, Doritos and we met at the counter, we payed for it and ran out of it hand in hand. As we started walking again he passed me he chips "thank god, I'm so hungry" I said, grabbing a chip and shoving it in the mouth "skip dinner again?" I nod "it was just too awkward ya know? My mom never talks to me and neither does my sister, so what do I do? Just sit there?" He nods "true" he mumbles shoving 5 chips in his mouth, we continue walking down the street until we saw a van drive by and stop next to us, the door opened "hey guys, the parties in here" Michael said smiling, we chuckled and hopped in, Ashton was driving while Alex was sitting next to Luke as Michael was trying to work the speaker system "well isn't it Sam, we haven't seen you in a while" Ashton said smirking, I rolled my eyes "hey, give me a break ash, I came here to have fun, not to get criticized" Luke sighs "another fight with your mom?" I nod, Alex scoots towards me "was it bad this time?" I shake my head "not that bad, Calum came over and helped me though" Michael widens his eyes "I bet he did..." He said smirking, I hit his arm "can it Clifford!" I said loudly, he put his hands up in defense, I hear Ashton chuckle "let's just have fun ok? I've had enough bullshit for the night" everyone nods as Ashton continues driving

Ashton pulls up to my house "bye guys" I say waving, Calum gets out with me as I walk to my gate "come to band practice tomorrow, please?" Calum asks, I nod "of course, I'll be there" he smiles and waves as he walks back to the car "bye" he says "bye" I wave back to him, I watch them drive away then I start to climb up to my window, I get inside my room and turn on my lamp light, I change into some sweats and keep on my tank top after I take off my sweater. I set my alarm for 6:30 since I have school, I set my phone down and lye down in my bed, I pull the covers up to my waist and close my eyes falling asleep slowly.
