I wake up on Calum's bed.
Did we do anything? Honestly I don't remember.
I look right beside me and no one was in the bed but me?
I walk down the hallway and enter the kitchen, I grab my purse and quietly unlock the door.
"What are you doing?" I hear voice randomly, making me jump.
I quickly turn around, "umm I thought you were asleep?" I smile.
Ashton looks at me and yawns.
"Bye" he says blandly,
"Bye Ashton" I smile opening up the door.
"You know you can call me Ash, only if you wan-t to" he stutters
I nod and exit the apartment.

While I was walking home there was a park that I've never seen before.
I kept on walking then glanced at it again, I feel something hit me, which makes me fall on my butt.
"I'm so sorry" I groan embarrassed,
"It's no your fault I was texting"  he mumbles and lends me a hand.
I grab his hand and pull myself up and see a face that punches me in the gut.
My eyes grow wide "James!" I squeal.
"Maria! Oh my god how are you?!" He engulfs me into his chest and holds me tight.
"I haven't seen you since I was like 13!" I smile... Wait why is here? He moved to Nebraska with my dad?
My mood shifts as I see my dad, standing there awkwardly.
He takes A step toward us, I instantly freak.
"Don't even think about coming closer" I bark.
My parents started to fight when I was 7. They got divorced when I was 12, so my dad got my older brother James. Then the bastard moved all the way to Nebraska.
He knew that I was the closest to James, he ruined my life.

"Maria please" he frowns
I shake my head and ignore him, James gives me a sympathetic look.
"I'll uh, text you Maria. Okay?" He gives me a quick hug and walks past me.
And my dad giving me a cold stare and mumbles under his breath.

When I got home I see my little sister on The couch with a boy on top of her,
"What the hell is going on here!" I growl making the boy jump and Gloria jumps
The boy gets off of her. "Umm I'm leaving" the douchey little kid tries to run past me but I push( yes I meant push) him lightly in the face with my hand.
"Hey don't touch me bitch!" He says, hopefully he's regretting it
I clench my fist until my knuckles turn white, "Jake say sorry" Gloria pleads.
"So your the oh so special Jake?" I say coming closer.
"Special? Gloria talks abou me? Wait why am I surprised. Every girl wants me" he boasts. Gloria sinks into the couch,
"why would they want you? You probably don't even have a big dick" I state, gagging at my use of that word. He pushes me as hard as he could, making me hit on the counter.
"Jake stop!" She screeches.
"Look you creepy freak! I don't like puny little seventh graders telling me what to do, I never even liked you. You're fucking hideous I just got dared to score with someone really fugly so I picked you" he yells. Tears brim her eyes, I knew I had to take care if this asshole once and for all.
As he pasts me I grab his collar of his shirt and instantly tear it, I turn him around and push him against the wall.

"If I ever see you near my sister or anyone. I swear I'll kill you!" I bark.
His grow wider and he nods his head vigorously.
"Now get out!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
After he left I went into my room slamming the door, not realizing my sister had followed. She opens the door slowly and quickly walks into my room and shuts the door behind her.
"Ma-" I slice through her words, "I don't need your stupid explanation" I snap.
"But-" I interrupt once more, "Gloria! Get out I don't need your shit right now either" I say through my teeth trying to calm down.
She bursts out into tears sounding like a loud broken siren.
"Damn it.... Come here" I say letting her cry in my arms.
We sat there for a couple of minutes and I hear a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" I say letting go of Gloria.
I walk to the door and hear another knock
"I'm coming!" I groan and open the door to Calum.
"Oh, hey" I Smile, "sorry to barge in but I just want to talk to you. Only--only If that's okay?" He stutters.
"Totally" I blurt before thinking, he sighs in relief "okay great" he smiles
He slips off his shoes and follows me Into my room.
I forgot ,like the idiot I am, that my sisters as in my room.
"Oh so your allowed to bring older boys to the house but I'm not" she roles her eyes and tries to leave. "Not to make out with" I say kneeling down, "plus he's a friend and this...boy has a name and its Calum" she looks at him and drools.
"Hi I'm Gloria..and single" she blurts he laughs lightly "I'm Calum and way to old for you" he smiles. "An accent? You couldn't get any better" she smiles sweetly.
He roles his eyes playfully and closes the door behind him after she left.
He sits on the bed next to and sighs.
"I know we met like yesterday well kinda two days ago.. But I feel like if we hung out more there could be something like what happened last night...?" He says reaching for my hand I pull away. "Last night I took some stuff that would help me sleep and it makes my mind go fuzzy, so what happened last night, hopefully nothing.., didn't happen and if I don't remember then I think you should forget?" I say quietly.
His expression changed "oh, well nothing important happened anyways" he was getting up "I have to go. Sorry for wasting your time. Or my time because I have a flight in two hours to Australia. I should've never bothered" he rambles leaving
"Calum..wait" I sigh.  I grab his arm, he looks back "I have to go" he whispered and pulled out of my grip.
Don't go..Calum, wait..did he say Australia? Wait..oh no...that means all Th boys are going to Australia..crap
