On the way home Calum explained everything to me.
"I don't care that much that she was cheating on me. Well I do, but not because she was the perfect girl or anything." He choked on his words again. "I'll start from the beginning." he sighed
"Are you sure? You don't have to tell me" you assured him.
"No I want to, I want us to be a couple that tell eachother everything." My heart sank when he said couple. Just the thought of being close to him everyday was perfect.
"When I was about 9, my dad would come home late every night after work." He started slowly "Obviously, being 9 I didn't really care, but my mum was always sad. Anyway it stopped after about half a year, and we were all happy again. But then one night when I was 11 They had a huge argument and he threw her on the floor and walked out, I'd never seen her cry so much" he was almost in tears again.
"You don't have to" you told him again.
"It's fine" he continiued "He started doing it again, exept this time I know what he did, every night he'd come back, he'd stink of alcohol, he'd be with a different woman every night, He'd lie to me and say some bull-shit I was playing with the fairies" Calum squeezed my hand at this point "I just hate lies, so much, and for her to say she loved me when she was saing that to another guy. That's the main reason I'm sad, when I look back at her now I can't help but think, what a slut she is. She'd say she wanted to take it slow one minute, then the next she'd be touching me. But anyway, I'm glad we're not together anymore. She was bad for me." He'd been looking a the floor the entire conversation, occasionally glancing at you and giving you a weak smile. But when he finished explaining this time he stood still and turned to you. "But now I have you, and I honestly don't think I could have found anyone more perfect that you" you let go of his hand, and wrap your arms around his waste, Calum did the same and as he did a tear escapes your eye.
"I love you" he wisperes into your ear. You nod because you know if you speak you'll burst into tears. The hug was perfect, it was quiet the occasional car drove past, and every second it became tighter. The perfect moment was broken by mum ringing.
"Wow what a way to break our first perfect moment" You say without letting go of him.
"It doesn't matter, our first kiss was perfect" He said with a grin as I pulled out my phone. My mum was calling.
You: Hey mum
Mum: Hey I just found your note! where are you?
You: I'm out with Calum
Mum: Oh okay, are you coming back for lunch?
You: No it's okay I think I've got enough for something cheap.
Mum: Okay let me know when your coming back 5 minutes before you get home!
You: Yeah sure, I've got go now.
Mum: Bye love you You: Love you too
As soon as you hang up calum says
"So where are we going?"
"I have no idea but I'm so hungry, lets go get some food" You tell him urgently
"Me too, I know the perfect place" Calum takes your hand and you continue to walk.
