Untrustworthy

nine : tell me what we're fighting for

'WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?' He stands up and I stay silent. 'MOLLY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME RIGHT NOW.'

'I'm sorry.'
'I DONT WANT YOUR FUCKING APOLOGIES. I WANT THE TRUTH. HAVE YOU PRETENDED TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME.'
'This is not how it looks Calum.'

He pushes his hands through hair and then sits back down. I move closer and put my hand on his leg. He pushes it off and stands back up.

'DONT TOUCH ME YOU BITCH. SO THIS WAS ALL JOB? MY OWN MUM PAID YOU TO DO THIS?!?'
'Calum I fucking love you. It's not about the money. At first I didn't want to be friends with you so your mum paid me. After two weeks I decided tha-'
'SHE BASICALLY BEEN PAYING YOU THE WHOLE TIME. I FUCKING HATE HER.'
'It's not her fault. She wanted you to have a friend. After two weeks I felt like it was wrong so I told her today that I didn't want to get paid anymore.'

We sat in silence for a few minutes. With tears streaming down his face and mine, he comes and sits next to me.

'Calum. I love you. Okay? Please don't let us fight over this. I can explain everything.' I put my hand on his leg again and he looks at me.

'I love you. But I don't think I can trust you anymore.' He stands up to leave but I grab his hand.

'Please don't do this Calum. I will tell you everything that you want to know.' His dark brown, gorgeous eyes look at me. His cheeks are tear stained but they still look perfect.

'I'm sorry. I can't be with your anymore.' He pulls away from my hand and walks out the front door.

I bury myself in my sofa and drown myself in a pool of tears.

Calum's POV

I don't know if I'm upset or annoyed or both. I love her so much but I can't believe it was all a lie. I knew it was too good to be true, that someone actually loved me back.

I get more and more angry when approaching my house. I'm so pissed at my mum it's unbelievable.

As I walk through the front door she greets me by saying 'Hey, what's up?.'

'YOU PAID MOLLY TO BE FRIENDS WITH ME.' She was silent. 'WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?' She didn't speak. I know it's not right to shout at my mum but to be honest I could shout at anyone right now. I storm up to my room before my mum can say anything.

I grab a carrier bag and throw a couple of my clothes in it. I run to the bathroom and grab my toothbrush and some other toiletries. I'm leaving now.

I head back downstairs to grab some food and my mum notices the bag in my hand.

'Calum, what are you doing?' She asks.
'Leaving. I'm gonna go crash at Michaels' (even though me and Michael haven't spoke for years he will always let me stay at his) 'don't try and call me.' I storm out of the house leaving my mum in tears.

As I walk out the house, I check my phone to find an endless line of missed calls off Molly. I'm tempted to ring back but I don't. I call Michael instead. He picks up on the first ring.

'Hey dude, do mind if I come crash at your for tonight?' I ask.
'Sure, but why aren't you staying at yours?'
'I will explain when I get there.'

Molly's POV

I try calling Cal at least another 20 times to receive no answer. I end up ringing grace and asking her to come over.

//

'So he just stormed out?' Grace asked.
'Yeah.' After telling Grace what had gone down between me and Calum she had tones of questions.
'Where do you think he is? He must be pissed at you.' She's really not helping.
'Grace, I kinda know that. I was the one having the argument with him.'

I call him a couple more times and the third time I ring he picks up.
'Calum! Please Calum just hear me out here.'
'It's Michael, Calums gone to the bathroom and left his phone with me.' He's at Michaels, I'm pretty sure they don't get along.

'Could I please speak to him.'
'Molly, I don't think that's a good idea. He's told me everything and he's been crying for the last hour. He's distraught. And to be honest I don't think he really wants to speak to you.' I hear a voice in the background of Michaels end of the phone. I hear slight words such as 'prick' and 'bastard.' The phone the goes dead. I'm guessing Calum caught him on the phone.

'Do you want me to call Ash to tell him to talk to Calum? It might help.'
'I will take any chance I have to get him back.'

She walks into the kitchen while on the phone to Ash. She's talking for a while probably telling him about everything or she's just saying 'I love you' about 100 times back and forth (don't worry I sat for an hour once listening to them do it, in the end I put the phone down on him.)

She finally returns from the kitchen and says 'he's gonna drive to Mikey's and pick Calum up.'
'Now all we gotta do is wait.'

Calum's POV

'Why Michael why?'
'I told her that you didn't want to speak to her and to leave you alone.'
'Just give me back my phone you idiot.'

He hands me back my phone to find a call from Ashton. I ring him back.

'What do you want asshole?' I answer firmly
'Dude chill, me and Luke are outside in the car ready to pick you and Michael up.'
'What the fuck. Who sent you?'
'No one.'

I turn to look at Michael and he just shrugs his shoulders.
'Ashton what's the catch.'
'Dude, can't we just go out for coffee or something?'
'No not really.'

Michael taps me on the shoulder.
'Come on, it's only one coffee? There's no harm in that.'

I put the phone down on Ashton. Me and Michael both walk outside and climb into Ashton's BMW.

'Okay, seriously what do you want?'
'Cal, we just wanna go out like old times.'
'Don't fucking call me Cal only Molly calls me Cal.'

Before we start driving I check my phone one last time to see that I have no missed calls off Molly surprisingly. I'm guessing she's given up.
