Never to Forever || Calum Hood

Calum's POV

I walked into class and was immediately called up front. Again. "Was is it this time?" I groaned.

"Calum, I noticed you haven't been paying attention in class or submitting your homework. If you continue to slack off I have the ability to take away your musical elective and switch it for an extra math class." Mrs. Jacobs told me.

"That isn't fucking fair!" I exclaimed.

"Again with the language Mr. Hood." She snapped, "We're getting off topic. It's up to you to decide whether you want to wake up and smell the coffee or continue to not have a care in the world. I'm not forcing you to do anything, but I am telling you to choose wisely. You may head to your seat now." She said.

I considered my options. Loosing my music elective wouldn't be as bad because I could always teach myself at home. But having another math class would definitely be the death of me. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed Charlotte was focused on her work. If I got her to help me pass this class, I wouldn't have to have another dreadful math class.

"Hey Charlotte." I greeted. She rose her head up from her paper. "Hi." Charlotte greeted back.

"Your blouse looks cute today." I complimented, shifting closer to her.

"Calum, just tell me what you want." She sighed.

"Let's make a deal." I told her, "Help me pass this class and I'll do whatever you want." I added.

"Anything?" She asked.

"Anything. I'll buy all the twinkies you want." I smirked.

"Nope." Charlotte denied, feeling offended.

"I was just kidding. I'm sorry. I honestly don't want to fail this class!" I begged, kneeling on my knees.

"Fine fine fine. I'll have to think about it." Charlotte murmured.

Charlotte's POV

It was finally the end of the school and it was time to walk back to hell, aka my house.

I took my phone and my earphones out. I plugged my earphones in and started playing music. I started singing along with the music that was playing.

After about 3 songs I finally arrived to my house. I slowly opened the front door and no one was at the living room.

"Mom?" I called, "Dad?"

No one answered. I walked to my parent's room and no one was there. They must be at a job interview or something. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips.

I made my way to my room, plopped down to my twin sized bed and started munching on my chips. I took out my homework and started doing it.

The door suddenly bursted open causing me to jump out of my bed. "Clean your room!" My mom yelled, throwing my clothes on the floor.

I nodded and picked up the clothes my mom threw and started folding them. I put all my stuff in my drawer and started changing my bed sheets.

My door opened again, who was revealing my mom holding a belt on her hand. "Why aren't you doing homework?" She yelled, making me flinch.

"You said to clean my room." I answered.

"Oh, so now you're answering me?" She stifled a laugh, closing the door.

"No. I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Shut up! You fucking fat bitch! All you fucking do in your room is eat! From now on, you can't eat anymore!" She screamed, opening my door and slamming it shut.

I went to my bathroom and started crying. My mom and dad were always like this, whenever I get home they would always yell at me or scream at me for something I didn't even do. Sometimes I just wanna run away, but they would always find me.

*Flashback*

I put all the stuff I need on my backpack making sure I had everything. My parents were both sleeping so I crept down the stairs and quietly made my way towards the front door.

I unlocked the door and accidentally slammed it shut. I started running to the other street, but when I looked back I was only a few steps away from the door and I was already tired.

I started running again and I was already on the other side of the street. Thank god.

When I checked the house, I saw my dad looking outside the window. He saw me and went out the front door.

I started running again and I was almost at the end of the street. As I was about to cross, I looked both ways to see if a car was coming. I saw headlights coming closer so I waited for it to pass me. Instead, the slowed down and parked beside me. It was my mom's car.

"Charlotte! What the fuck are you doing? Do you see how damn late is it? Get in the car right now!" My mom angrily shouted through the window.

I got into the backseat of the car and stayed silent until we reached the house.

"Jesus Christ Charlotte! What the hell is wrong with you? Did you really think you could run away from us?" My dad roared.

"I-I- I jus-" I stuttered.

"Oh just shut up. You're so ungrateful! Can't see you see all the shit your mother and I do for you? We give you shelter, pay for your school, and- and this is how you repay us? What kind of kid are you!?" My dad said.

"We didn't even want you in the first place, Jesus." I heard him mumble.

I went up to my room and sat on my bed. I laid back letting the tears fall down my face.

*Flashback ends*

I did my night routine and made my way to my bed. Silence filled the air in my room, but I could hear the distinct yelling coming from my parent's room.

"What the fuck do we do with her now?" I heard my dad say.

"She was your damn sperm! You deal with her!" My mom told him.

"Yeah, well it's not my fault my sperm touched your egg!" My dad answered.

"Well, what do we do? We can't disown her, we can't put her up for adoption." My mom said.

"Why can't we?" I heard my dad say, in a more relaxed tone. Tears started rolling down my face again. I decided to just sleep it off, hoping what I heard was just a dream.

Would my parents really give me away? Do they really hate me?

I felt my eyelids become heavier and started dazing off to sleep.
