Secrets // C.H

Chpt 4

*Tessa's POV*

// My eyes feared his wistful dark brown ones. I couldn't believe what was happening in this moment. Locked in a house for a few nights with a killer wouldn't be bad right? Right?

Wrong.

He laid on the couch flipping through the channels as I sat on the other couch off in my daze.

"Well I think it's time for my bed" I spoke getting up to grab him a pillow and blanket. I quickly got the items before tossing them to him. "Thanks" he mumbled still not taking his hand off the remote or eyes off the tv. He acted like he hasn't watched tv in life.

Oh yeah he just got out of jail.

I rolled my eyes at him as I trotted to my room just wanting a peaceful nights rest. I wanted to be anywhere but near Calum. He was such a cocky jerk who was just bad news. And here he is forcing his way inside of my house to stay here for a few days till he can find a place to go.

He wouldn't tell me why he needed to crash at my place, and of course I pressed on about it but all he did was say "It's none of your business". Me being a smart ass I replied "Uh yes it is, your trying to crash at my place". I swear he hates me and I am next on his kill list at the moment. But I couldn't let him disrespect me.

I sighed heavily as I slowly shut my eyes trying to forget about Calum and life as it is.

"Couldn't sleep?" I jumped at the deep voice coming a few feet away from me.

He sat tiredly on the sofa shirtless and laid back as if he had a lot on his mind. I nodded before walking outside.

The breeze hit me as soon as I let the door shut. It was a good 52 degrees at this 2 AM time.

I was getting the worst sleep ever and most of that was do to the fact that I have a killer in my living room who could kill me at any moment. I mean who wouldn't be scared?

My lips parted letting white mist escape my mouth and float off into the air.

The door opened behind me and I held my breath. He was now out here right behind me.

"Don't you think it's cold out?" He asked, almost as if he was trying to start a conversation. Why would he even come to check on me? Did he think I would run off and tell the cops or someone?

"Eh, it could be worse" He sighed leaning against the door. I took a quick glance at him only to find him staring right at me. My cheeks started to heat up for some unknown reason which I hated.

We sat in silence. Which was nice yet a tad bit awkward.

I looked up at the sky seeing all the beautiful clouds drifting against the blue platform above our heads. It was like the little stars in the sky were little night lights trying to save the world from the darkness.

If only they knew how dark the world really was even with all the light.

The wind blew a bit harder causing me to shiver a bit since I was only in a tank top and pajama pants. Yeah I was cold but I needed a moment to myself.

"You are cold, come inside" Calum's voice boomed in the night. "I'm not cold" I said really fast looking Back at him.

His eyes scanned my face before rolling his eyes in an irritated manner.

"Fine then freeze your ass off"

Calum yelled opening the door and slamming it on his way inside. Wow.

He was so unreal and a bipolar dick. What was his problem?

"What's your deal!" I yelled gripping the door seeing that he was already on the couch running his hands through his hair. As his arm moved back you could see his body flex making me feel weak.

"You're so stubborn" I scoffed. I mean I was but I didn't want to admit it.

I sighed Looking at him. "It's just hard when you have a killer in your house and you think you could die any minute" I spat.

He jumped up from the couch making his way over to me. I was about to scream as I darted the opposite way only to be pushed into a wall. My hands on both side of my face and my eyes shut as Calum started to squeeze on my wrist a little.

"listen here, you know nothing about me. You don't know the hell I went through. You don't even know the truth damnit so stop saying stuff! God I swear your the most irritating and annoying girl out there" His eyes forcing mine to look in them.

"O-ok Calum, let G-go" I stuttered not knowing if I was scared or that he was this close to me. Both were terrifying in general.

His eyes looked down at his hands quickly letting go and looking the other direction. "Just go back to sleep" his voice lower than usual.

Something was burning on the inside of him but I couldn't even make it out. How can you when he's so protective over himself. I slowly nodded before walking into my room.

Even as I laid trying to close my eyes I couldn't help but to stay awake. You could here low sobs coming from the living room which broke.

Calum Was crying.
