26 - Truth

>Dahlias POV<

I feel myself being shaken awake. "No," I mumble into my pillow.

The shaking continues. "Stop, I want to sleep..."

I feel warm breath on my cheek. "Wake up Dali," the voice says sleepily.

It's Calum.

Suddenly I feel a tiny bit more alert. "Why are you here?" I whisper. "Maya is over there. What do you think you're doing?"

"I can't sleep, I need you," he whispers back.

"Calum... It's only a few more days..." I close my eyes again.

"Come."

"It's warm here though!"

I hear him exhale and then I feel his arms wrap around me as he lifts me out from under the blankets.

"What're you doing?" I gasp.

"Taking you with me."

"But-"

"Shhhh."

I sigh and snuggle against him. He grabs my phone for me and walks slowly out of our room, making sure to turn the doorknob in a way that it won't make much noise.

After a few quiet footsteps through the hall, I feel him reach down to open to door to the boys main room. "Calum!"

"Shhh, they're asleep!"

"So was I."

********************

Calum and I are sitting on his bed, talking. Well, whispering actually. Like he said, they were all sleeping, so we could easily make it back to his room.

"Yes you are ticklish!" He grins.

"No, I'm not!" I insist. "Don't be silly!"

"Oh yeah? You're really not ticklish, huh?"

"Mmhm. That's right!"

Calum gives me a evil grin.

"No," I say. "Don't you da-"

Before I can finish he attacks me with tickles.

"Calum!" I gasp between giggles. "They're going to hear us!"

He doesn't listen.

"Calum what the heck are you doing?!" Michael yells at the closed door.

"I told you!" I whisper-yell.

"Um, I'm just watching TV."

"It's two in the morning."

"Yeah, couldn't sleep?"

"You don't even have a TV in your room Calum."

"I-Uh-"

"Whatever, going to sleep again. Too tired to think. Keep it down please?"

"Sure," he tries not to laugh. "Night."

"I should go," I bite my lip.

"No, stay. They're up now, so they might see you. Plus... I still need you. Can't sleep without you."

"Yes you can," I smile. "You've done it a million times before."

"Well, I want you to stay."

"Fine," I sigh. "They better not come in your room in the middle of the night."

"Technically, it's morning."

"Whatever," I grin. "It's dark like night, and everyone is sleeping, or at least supposed to be."

Pulling me tighter against him he sighs, "Goodnight Dali."

>Maya's POV<

I guess Dahlia went out for breakfast, she's not in our room.

Four... Four more days.

I get dressed and walk into the boys' room. Luke is standing in the main room with Ashton and Michael. They're crowded by Calum's door. 

I walk past Luke, up to Michael. "What's going on?"

"Okay, so, I'm pretty sure Cal is with a girl in his room because they were up giggling last night at 2am."

"And..."

"And I think we should go in and embarrass him."

"Yes, that would be amazing."

Oh how Dahlia would've loved to be here for this.

We open the door.

Calum is kissing some girl next to him.

He doesn't notice us at first, that is until I yell, "WHAT THE HECK CALUM?!"

It was Dahlia. He was kissing Dahlia.
