*Calum's POV*
I've not been able to get Emily off my mind all day. I shouldn't have hung up on her the way I did. Now, she's busy and I can't even call and apologize to her. Amanda heard me crying in my bunk after our phone call. I just told her I missed Em. She's my best friend and I hate being on tour without her. She should be here, but she has to be home. I hate this. When she's busy and I'm not, I go through all of our pictures together. She is just so fucking beautiful. I love her with all my heart. I just wish she was here with me so I could hold her in my arms every day. Fuck. I'm so sappy. If the guys ever knew I thought any of this shit, they'd never let me live it down. She hasn't been answering my messages for a little while now so I'm sure shes babysitting or something. I'm not worried about it I just miss her so much. Well, I better get my stuff done before I get yelled at.
*My POV*
My flight was long but my excitement made it feel shorter. I was close to landing and my excitement was growing. I had been listening to 5sos the entire flight and I just could not wait to see Calum. Keeping this whole thing a secret from him was really getting hard. I just wanted to call him and say that I was here. The seatbelt light came on signaling that the plane would be landing shortly. I'm supposed to call Amanda when I get to the airport but Luke told me where they were playing tonight so I think I'm going to surprise her.
When the plane landed, I collected my bags and went out the front of the airport. There was a man standing there so I asked him if he could help me get a cab. He agreed and a cab was there within 15 minutes. I told the driver the address of the venue and he agreed. I texted Amanda as I got close.
Text message to: Mrs. Hemmings:
"Im here (:"
The driver drove me to the venue and I paid him along with a tip for being friendly. Just then my phone buzzed.
Text message from: Mrs. Hemmings:
"What airport are you at?"
I giggled as I saw her standing across the street.
Text message to: Mrs. Hemmings:
"Haha, turn around."
"Oh my god! You're here!" she yelled and hugged me. "Oh my god ive missed you so much." She screamed as I hugged her back.
"I know. I missed you too. All of you really." I giggled and we pulled away. "Em. We were supposed to pick you up. Now I feel like a shit bestfriend." She frowned at me.
"No its fine. The airport was such a long way from here so I just called a cab and headed over. Its no big deal." I smiled hiding the fact that I planned the surprise.
"Okay! Well we have less than 2 hours to waste until the show tonight. So we can go shopping, get you a new outfit and go out to eat." she suggested. I nodded loving the idea.
"Alright. But where should I put my bags?" I asked.
"Oh. Uhm. I guess we could hide them on the bus for now? Luke, can you go see if Calum's on the bus?" she asked him. He smiled and nodded. "Thank you." she said as he walked past and kissed her cheek, then headed over to the bus. "You guys are too cute. I told you, "Lumanda" all the way!" I said beaming at her. She responded only with laughter.
Luke came back shortly signaling that the coast was clear.
"Cmon. We have 5 minutes to hide your shit before Calum comes back." Amanda explained, grabbing one of my bags.
"Okay." I muttered grabbing the other. We scrambled to the bus to hide my bags.
Cmon! We dont have much time!" Luke laughed and grabbed a bag out of Amanda's hands. I followed them onto the bus quickly to hide my things. "Uhm. Here. We can hide one in me and Luke's bunk." She stated, placing one suitcase on the bed and closed the curtain.
"Yeah and the other one can go here." Luke said taking the suitcase from me and putting it in the small closest that looked as if its never been used.
"Okay. Lets get going then?" She asked and Luke and I both nodded. Luke walked up and laced his fingers with Amanda's and we all left the bus. "Theres a little shop just around the corner that we stopped at earlier. I think we should go there." She told me and I smiled.
"Okay." After 5 minutes of silence Luke spoke up. "You know," He started. "I heard your little comment about "Lumanda" Emily." He smirked and Amanda's cheeks flushed pink. She hid her face in Luke's shoulder and he laughed.
"Well what can I say? You two are too cute. I just had to ship you guys." I stated with a smile.
"Hey. Dont hide your face. I think its cute." Luke whispered and kissed the top of her head. "Guys. Stop. Please. You're just making me miss Cal more." I pouted.
"Okay fine." Luke frowned and Amanda giggled.
It really hit me at that moment that I was going to see Cal again in a few hours. I honestly can't wait. He is going to flip when he sees me tonight.
A few minutes later we arrived at the store Amanda told me about. After a couple minutes of scanning racks I heard Amanda say something.
"Awh Em. I think you should get this!" She said excitedly holding up a black spaghetti strap, mid thigh length dress, with a floral print. "I like it! Let me go try it on!" I said and walked to the dressing room.
I wriggled into the dress and looked in the mirror before calling Amanda for her opinion.
"Amanda!" I called and she walked over to me.
"Em. You look great!" She exclaimed as I showed off the dress.
"Thanks! Im definately going to get this one." I said looking over to the mirror again. Cal was going to love this. He always loves when I dress up.
I changed out of the dress and paid for it while Amanda and Luke continued to look around. I reunited with Amanda after Luke left for rehearsal.
"Alright, you bought it already. Awesome. So do you wanna get going?" She asked noticing the bag hanging on my arm.
"But, arent you going to get something to wear tonight?" I asked and she sighed.
"Well there was this one dress that Luke picked out, but I wouldn't fit in it." She mumbled.
"Oh. Well, can I see it?" I asked and she nodded walking over to one of the many racks of dresses.
"This one." She said pointing to it. I picked up off the rack and examined it. "Amanda, this dress would look great on you." I said being completely honest.
"The waist doesnt stretch Em. Its not going to fit." She sadly stated.
"But I really think you should-"
"No. It wont fit and thats fine. I'll just wear a pair of jeans and a 5sos shirt. Its fine." She interrupted and now it was my turn to sigh.
"Okay fine. Lets get going so we can get ready then." I said knowing there was no convincing her at this point.
Amanda and I made our way back to the bus catching up a little bit on the walk. I told her all about what was going on with college and all that junk. She told me about how Cal had been missing me so badly and I could feel my heart breaking. The only thing that made it all okay was that I was going to see him in just a little while. As we got back to the bus Amanda stepped on first and then me after. Immediately I spotted Deysi sitting on the couch.
"Emily you're here!" She yelled excitedly and got up to hug me.
"Hey Deysi. How have you been? How are you and Michael?" I asked trying to catch up a little bit.
"Great. And well, great." She laughed and sat back down.
Amanda began to walk back toward the bunks and she spoke up.
"So do you guys want to start getting ready, or-" and she suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
"Hey..Amanda? Are you alright?" Deysi asked and she just nodded and pointed to the bunk. Both Deysi and I got up and walked over to see what she was gesturing at. Deysi and I both read the note and smiled.
"Wow. You're boyfriend is the sweetest." Deysi said and hugged her, and so did I. She picked up the dress out of the box and walked towards the bathroom.
"Yeah. He really is isnt he?" She whispered, then we all began getting ready.
I spent almost no time getting ready. I kept the makeup simple because that's how Cal likes it. He likes when I look natural. So I brushed my hair and put on some eyeliner and mascara along with a little lip gloss. Then, when it was time to head out, I grabbed my jacket and we were of. This was it. Here I come baby.
