Michael's P.O.V

The drive to Calum's house was long considering the traffic but I finally made it after 1 hour. I listened to the Green Day cd I bought and put on the I texted Cashton I was at the front door and gladly after 3 seconds they opened the door for me."Hey Michael," Calum smiled,"Ash is upstairs. Come with me." He took my bag of clothes and led me upstairs. When we got to his door he opened it revealing Ashton watching Spongebob on the tv. He sat on Calum's bed with his legs crossed, leaning back with his hands keeping him up. He was wearing a Paramore shirt with black sweatpants. He had heard the door open and looked to see who it was.

"Hey Mikey," he greeted,"you took forever to get here. I thought you weren't gonna come. What took you so long?" Before I answered I stepped inside the room. Calum then closed the door behind him, throwing my bag next to Ashton on the bed.

"Sorry," I apologized,"there was a lot of traffic on the way here." Ashton mouthed an 'o' and nodded before turning his head back to the tv. I then heard the doorbell echoing throughout the entire house. Calum headed out his bedroom door and went downstairs to check who it was. I followed behind him with curiosity. "Who is that?" I asked.

"Stay here, I'll check," he replied. I stayed at the top of the stairs watching as he ran down the stairs. He opened the door to reveal a police officer with a serious expression on his face. He had brown wavy hair with a navy blue uniform on looking around suspiciously. I ducked down a little so he wouldn't see me. "Mom and dad must've called the cops," I thought to myself,"that's cruel."

"Hello, I'm officer James," he introduced himself shaking Calum's hand. Calum had a nervous expression on his face like he was gonna pee or something. "Have you seen a guy with crazy red hair, he's about your height, and he kinda looks your age?" he asked sternly. Calum shook his head 'no'. The officer crossed his arms waiting for a real response. Calum was shaking in fear as he bit is lip. He wiped the sweat on his palms on his pants, trying to find the words to say. The officer looked at him expectantly while raising an eyebrow. It took a few seconds before he finally answered.

"Nn...nnn...no," he stuttered. The police officer raised his eyebrow even higher still trying to look around. He nodded buying it and turned around to walk to his car, driving off. Calum let out a deep breath that he had been holding ever since the officer came. He ran up the stairs and took my hand dragging me back to the room. He opened his room door lightly pushing me inside. He closed the door behind him,"That was close," he stated letting out a deep breath once again. Ashton looked at us in confusion.

"What happened?" he asked with concern written all over his face,"tell me what's going on." He went up to Calum to rub his back soothingly. Calum just stood there with his head down.

"I'm a criminal," he mumbled to himself,"I just lied to a cop." Ashton looked at him in confusion.

"Ashton?" I asked for his attention. He looked up at me with curiosity,"the cops are looking for me because I ran away fron home. My parents called them I guess. The cop asked Calum if he saw me. He was just really nervous and scared. Look, it's a long story but that's all." He crossed his arms and nodded in understanding. Calum still didn't talk to us but he kept mumbling to himself.

"Calum you're not a criminal. Well you are because you stole my heart but that's not the point," he laughed. Calum smiled and chuckled. Ashton continued,"my point is don't feel bad about what you did. You were helping a friend. So cheer up." Calum nodded finally looking up at us."Let's do something. Like...let's have a dance party!" Ashton suggested,"we could blast the music while your mom is gone. Right, Calum?" he asked. Calum nodded and led us downstairs to the living room. He turned on the tv and turned up the volume as loud as he could.
