"just promise me"

ella.

Calum was acting weird.

Again.

I was texting him all night, but I couldn't help but feel a little hurt by his one worded answers. I don't know why, and I'm starting not to care anymore.

I consider this stranger my best friend, and I don't even know what he looks like. Honestly, the whole thing is getting kind of exhausting.

Bree noticed my off-set persona when she picked me up the following afternoon. "Babe, were goin to see your favorite band on the planet and you're moping. What's wrong?"

I plastered a smile on my face for her benefit. "Nothing I'm just a little tired," I shrugged her question off.

"We'll wake up, we're seeing Josh dun in the flesh! God I hope he takes off his shirt," she sighed, content.

I laughed, feeling the lousy mood Calum put me in beginning to fade.

I'm not going to lie, after hearing that 5sos might be coming to the same concert (just give me a moment to scream internally), I may or may not have tried extra hard to look good. Because really, you never know when that goddamn gorgeous Michael Clifford might stumble into your life.

Bree drove on and I took out my phone.

Texting Calum is probably not the best decision I could make, but I couldn't help it. He was becoming a part of me.

He was something I needed desperately. 

Repeatedly.

And what terrifies me is that I don't even know who he is.
