Calum's Perspective
Sydney, Austrailia
"Dadddd?" Melanie says. "Amanda didn't mean to say thr. Ask Vic. Or Kaleb. Or even Evan. It was just three months ago. Have me tested. I swear."
"Okay, we will. We'll have you tested."
"It'd totally suck if they told dad and had evidence to prove it, like a fetus."
"I'm not pregnant."
"I don't know..." Kaleb protests. "You've gained a lot of wait lately."
Melanie throws him a dirty look. "You little brat! I'm only a teen. No way. You're an ass."
"Dad!" Kaleb screams. "Melle said a naughty word!"
"She's fourteen. She swears. She's fine. Yoire just jealous. Leave it alone."
"Leave what alone? I'm not jealous."

"Daddy, where's Mum?" Evan asks me.
"I don't know, taking care of Lucy. Why, what do you need?"
"Mum. I need Mum."
"Why?"
"I need help on my homework."
I sigh. "Can't I help?" Its almost like I'm begging. He's been saying he hates us. That we're bad parents, and Chesea is only a good Mum 'cause she carried him for nine months.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Three reasons. One- I hate you. Two- You're a high school dropout. Three- Mummy says you suck at science."
"Why would she say that?"
"Because you do. You suck. Like a leach sucks blood. Duh. Stupid."
That's when it hits me. Maybe I am stupid. For multiple reasons, the first being that I had six kids. Another would be getting married. And a third would be dropping out of high school. But why? Simple answer- Luke and Mike. And later Ashton. For a band.
My education a as ruined. And for what? For a band that crashed because of a relationship or two. And they were my relationships. At the same time.
"Whatever. But before you help, what does E equal if your so smart?"
"Uh..." I think aloud. "Evan, I don't know."
"E=MC squared."
I stick my tounge out. "Smarty pants."

Don't stop
You know that I like it
Was listening to 5SOS and I realized for the first time how wrong this sounds. I know. I'm so dirty minded, right?
