Winter break /c.h\

Chapter 5

(Sorry the last chapter was so short. I'm trying to make some points an I need some fillers to get to them. But I hope you're liking this so far. Just a little look into my thinking. Elly/Eleanor is SuzyIrwin  and Kai is fxckoffm8_ They're two of my best friends so their characters inspiration comes from them. Love, Hannah)

The second day, just consisted of sight seeing, and trying to get my phone back from the boys, who insisted on taking selfies, instead of taking pictures of something that really mattered.
Calum stayed by my side, but none of the boys really seemed to pay attention. A couple times, he'd tried to hole my hand, and I'd just swat it away and giggle. I wasn't going to give it to them that easily.
I slept in his bed that night, not quite feeling comfortable, alone, in my own foreign bed.
When I woke up, he wasn't in there though. "Cal?" I wiped my eyes, and glanced around the room. "Cal?" I pushed the covers off of my legs, and stumbled out of the bed.
Looking into all the rooms, I couldn't seem to find him. I saw the sleeping boys in Luke and Ashton's rooms, and finally poking my head into Michael's room, I saw both boys, sprawled across the bed, talking. "Hey" I whispered and they both shot straight up
"Um, hey baby" my eyes widened at the pet name. He had just blown out cover.
"Uhm.." I shifted awkwardly, in the doorway
"No, no Gracie. I told him. Calm down"
"Goddamn, okay" I sighed, in relief
"Yeah, I figured at least one of them should know. Especially, because I know you told the girls"
"Uh..yeah, I did haha" I went over and sat on his lap, snaking an arm around his neck "Sorry about it" I laughed, and kissed his cheek
"Aw, gross guys. I get it, the sexual tension had been between you guys since you learned what a dick was, but don't relieve it around me" Michael gagged a couple times proving his point.
"Sorry" we said simultaneously, then giggled together
"Stop it. Or get out of my room" he choked back a laugh, trying to seem serious about his statement
"Okay. Okay. Fine. We're done" I laughed, and pushed myself off of Calum's lap, sitting in the middle of them on the bed. "Has Abigail texted back?"
"No, I uhh, think you scared her off. So thanks"
"Fake girlfriend, always works" I laughed
"True" he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly "So, umm, are you guys gone be all couply now?" He asked, shifting the tone in the room
"Um" I turned to look at Calum "No I think we're just going to be us. Maybe a little more touchy, but still us. We're still going to be separate people, we'll just be together more"
"Okay"
"Gracie, I'm serious about this town effecting you, you're becoming more philosophical as the moments pass" Calum giggled, deserving a smack on the arm from me
"Whatever" I added, with an eyeroll
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I left the boys to talk, and went downstairs, hoping to find David. Thankfully, he wasn't too hard to find, he was sitting on the couch, watching a rerun of Jeopardy.
"Hey, Old Man" I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, while pressing my body against the back of the couch.
"Good morning Gracie" I could hear his smile "How'd you sleep?"
"Like a baby"
"In Calum's bed?"
"Uhhm.." I could feel my cheeks turning pink "Gah, yeah"
"Why're you stuttering?" I knew he was teasing, but I still didn't know how to answer "That's why is didn't ask you if you had anything going on the other day, I knew you and Calum were together. You're doing a bad job of hiding it babygirl, hate to break it to you"
"Damn" I immediately clutched my mouth, because I had never cursed in front of him "I didn't think anyone would catch on" I huffed and came around the side of the sofa, sitting on the arm of it "I guess we'll be more careful then"
"Why not just tell them, darling?"
"You know me David, I've always loved playing games. I'm making them work for it"
"Yes, but when most of us have already caught on, why continue playing?"
"Because sometimes when others think the game is over, it's only just starting"
"I see" he squeezed my knee a little "How did you get to be so smart, kid?"
"Years of experience"

Being the girl in the group, getting ready took me longer than the boys usually. Especially when we went clubbing. Tonight was no exception. I brought a tight back dress, speckled with sequins, and a pair of strappy black heels, that would up off, 15 minutes into the night. I curled my hair, and did my makeup, the best I had in a while. It's was dramatic but effective.
I walked downstairs, trying not to trip down the stairs, and saw all the boys impatiently waiting by the door. When they heard my heels on the stairs, they all turned to see me, all of theirs mouths falling open as I descended.
"Oh boys, it's not nice to stare" I laughed, and glanced at Calum, who's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head. 
I got to the bottom step and pulled my dress down, hoping it wouldn't come any higher. Only downside of having some type of curves, was that my favorite dress would always come up, in the front and the back. "Well, are we gonna go?" I waved my arms towards the door, after a bit of awkward silence, and stares.
"Erm, yeah. Let's go" Michael grabbed the door and we all ushered out. However, there was an arm that pulled me back. I turned and Calum caught my lips with his, then quickly pulled away.
"You look hot as fuck babe"
"Thanks" I smirked and brushed my lips against his again, before catching up with the other boys, and climbing into the car.
I sat in the back, smushed between Calum and Michael again. 
"So um, Luke, Ashton" Calum started "I kind of have something to tell you guys" fuck, fuck, fuck. He was about to ruin the game "So Gracie and I are kind of a couple now" he spit out happily. I saw Ashton's eyes glance at us in the rearview mirror.
"You act like wee didn't know that already" he laughed
"Goddamn. Did we just not hide it well?" He questioned
"No it's not that" Luke turned around fully in the seat, to look at us "you guys have slept in each other's room the past two nights. You're constantly watching each other. And we kind of all guessed it would happen"
"Damn. Well alright."
------------------—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the club, Ashton was the only one to get alcohol. So he'd order and pass it off to us, so a little while after being there, we were all a little tipsy. Ashton had disappeared somewhere, and so had Michael. Leaving Calum, Luke and I at a booth in the corner.
"Babe," Calum whispered in my ear, " can we go dance?" He asked, the planted a sloppy kiss, on my neck
"I don't wanna leave Luke" I whined, pushing his head back a little, not being a big fan of PDA
"He'll be fine. Pleeeaassee"
"Luke do you mind?" I glanced, at the blonde boy, who continued staring at his phone.
"Yeah, go. I don't care"
"Thanksss. Tell Kai I said hey" I grabbed the drunk enough boys hand and dragged him to the center of the dance floor. He grabbed my hand pulled my butt to his crotch. I starting grinding my hips back on him, snaking a hand back around his neck. As the music got faster, so did my hips. I could feel Cal's hard on, poking me, and I internally smiled and continued shaking my hips. We continued dancing until finally Luke came and pulled us out of the crowd.
"Can we go?"
"Whyyy???? Luke come on dance" at this point I had downed more than enough alcohol, and having a low tolerance already, I was making a fool out myself. I tossed the boys arms up in the air, trying to get him to dance, but to no avail.
"Please"
"Fineeeeeeeee" I whined and pulled Calum out of the crowd, following the lanky boy.
We got to the door and all the boys had congregated. Michael being the most shit faced out of all of us, was being supported my Luke, as we walked out. And Luke being the only sober one, had to drive. Calum and I brought up the back, stumbling over our own feet, desperately hoping to get to the car, without falling.
I threw my heels in the car and climbed into the middle of Calum and Michael again. Michael laid his head in my lap, and Calum leaned again the window, all of us giggling. Ashton and Luke, however were silent in the front, which wasn't a normal thing, but I was too fucked up to ask about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all stumbled into the house, trying to be quiet and not wake up David and Mary. When we finally got upstairs, I really didn't care, I stripped off my dress leaving my in just my undergarments, and I climbed into Calum's bed. He let out a low groan, then stripped off his shirt and super skinny jeans, climbed in behind me. It would've been so much sweeter, if we weren't completely fucked up, but in the moment it was just super clumsy, and hot.
The great state of drunk was only lasted a little while, before I was awoken by the sudden urge to barf. I ran to the bathroom, clutching my mouth, and vomited up everything that, only an hour ago, was making me feel like I was floating.
The last things I could really hear before vomiting up the rest of it was a string of profanities, coming from Luke, who sat in the bathroom with me until I was done, and then carried me back to Calum's bed. I just didn't feel good anymore, and it sucked, but it was nice to have Calum's warm body against mine, in my breaks from puking.
