"Do you talk to your mother like that?" the officer -Chase- asked.

"It's actually physically impossible to talk to my mom" I snapped.

"Oh, what? Did you and mommy get in a little argument, and cant talk to her anymore?"  he teased.

"my mums dead..." I mumbled, hoping he heard so I didn't have to repeat it twice.

"Stop mumbling!" he grunted.

"my moms dead" I said a little louder, so he could here me this time.

"Oh stop lying! Your ass wont get anywhere in life if you keep lying like that!" he exclaimed, causing the girls to snap their heads towards us.

"mate, his mum has been dead for 3 years... Ever heard of James Black, well, that's his father" Calum defended me, because he knew how much it hurt to talk about it.

"Didn't he murder a women 3 years ago...?" Chase asked himself.

"That was my mum... a so called accident he claims" I simply said looking down at the ground, so that they wouldn't see my face getting pale. It went silent and I could feel my eyes tearing up already... I loved her so much.

"Officer Mathews, let the dick boys go" We heard from the apartment.

"Leave Clifford... You too Hood" Chase said as he walked away.

Natali's POV

I all of a sudden felt the need to text Calum.

To Calum: 'Why the hell do crazy things always happen literally out of nowhere?'

I sent the message and realized that he didn't have my number, so I quickly told him it was me before he could read the first message.

Sending a glance toward Calum, I saw the smile on his face as he read the text.

Scrolling through my timeline on twitter, my phone lit up signaling a message, of course, as I predicted, it was from Calum.

From Calum: 'I don't know, but hey, do you have anywhere to stay? If not, you both can live upstairs with me.'

I quickly read the next and responded : 'No, we don't have a place to stay. That would be nice. Thank you Cal <3'

oh shit! why did I send the heart?! I'm so stupid! what was I thinking. He's probably going to think I'm gross. ughhhhhh

From Calum: 'XD'

'Eh, maybe it wasn't that bad' I thought to myself.

To Calum: 'Oh shit! Will it be okay with Michael? I totally forgot y'all were roommates. '

From Calum: 'oh, haha. Yeah, as long as that other girl is coming... What's her name?'

To Calum: 'Her name is Brooke... and yeah, she'll be coming ;)'

From Calum: 'What? Where you expecting to have me all to yourself? ;)))'

To Calum: 'Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm going to live with an idiot.'

We finally made eye contact as he laughed at my message, and turned off his phone. I started walking over to Brooke to let her know we were going to live with the boys.

"Excuse me... May I please talk to Brooke alone?" I nicely asked the police officer. He stepped back, allowing me to talk to Brooke.

"what's up?" she asked.

"we're staying with Michael, and Calum for a couple of weeks, until we can afford more furniture" I explained, as I saw her eyes get wide.

"WHAT?! WHY?!" she yelled causing the boys to turn towards us.

Turning around, I awkwardly smiled, and waved at the boys.

"Brooke shut up!"

"Why?! I don't want to live with your fuck buddy and his friend" she said, looking me straight in the eyes.

"Brooke! What the fuck?! they're trying to be nice, and we aren't fucking them idiot" I yelled back to her, but not loud enough for the boys to hear.

"Fine! Fine!"

I sent another text to Calum, asking a stupid question : 'What do we bring?'

He quickly responded : 'Well, clothes, and I think that's it'

nah, duh Nat!

All of a sudden, I see the boys walking up to us "um.. is everything okay?" Calum asked, looking confused as fuck.

"umm.. yeah! She's really excited" I said, causing Brooke to roll her eyes and walk away. Michael left, following Brooke, leaving me and Calum alone.

Brooke's POV

Michael started walking over to me, when I saw his eyes red and puffy. As if he had been crying.

"oh my god... are you okay?" I quickly asked him.

"um, yeah, I'm fine. But, I actually came over to see if you were okay" he explained.

"oh, well, I'm fine thanks..." I said awkwardly. I could see his eyes getting a lot more watery than when I fist saw him. "Okay, fuck this! What's wrong?!" I blurted out of nowhere.

"goddammit Brooke! Nothing is wrong!" he yelled.

"Bullshit! what's wrong Michael? Wait, how do you know my name?" I wondered, meaning to keep that last part in my head.

"Well, Calum and Natali were talking about how you and her were going to stay with us, so I just kind of caught on" he explained.

"what's wrong dick head?" I asked letting out a giggle.

"my moms dead, and they had to come and remind me she's gone" he told me quietly.

"oh, I- I'm really sorry" I stuttered.

"No, its fine" he insisted.

"you wanna talk about it?" I asked him.

"Yeah, but not now" he told me.

"Okay, maybe tonight..." I said.

"sure" he said as I turned around and walked off to Nat.

"you good?" Nat asked me.

"I'm doing... better" I smiled.

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"you know, Michael is not as bad as I thought he was" I winked.
