Feelings

The next few days, I barely did anything.

My bedroom was shut off and mum kept trying to get me out of my room, but I refused.

Harry texted a few times and I seemed to make it clear that I wanted to keep it on a friendship basis.

He seemed to too.

Finally I managed to text Luke.

I never seemed to have the courage for it until recently, so I did.

"hey Luke! congrats on the tour & band :) so happy for you guys."

The text was simple and easy, so hopefully he's message back soon.

But my mind was in scatters as Calum's kiss just floated in my mind, back and forth.

My feelings for him  were everywhere but Luke distracted me.

Love is confusing.

Months went by and I kept to my normal, sad life.

Jared manged to leave me alone after Harry appeared.

They left town soon after the week was over, back then, but fans still thought I was "secretly hooking up with him".

Today was bright and I was far too excited.

I'd see Calum and Luke again, because they'd be living here.

However, I'd only get a few months with them and they'd be off again.

They'd go on a tour that goes for 8 months.

Calum had texted and said they were flying back & it's only take an hour.

They were so close.

I'd gotten up early so I could get ready and look good.

My hair was normal, just out. I was wearing black skinny jeans and a vans shirt.

Then I heard my phone ring, so I checked it.

Calum.

"Hey!" I said a little to enthusiastically.

"Zoe!"

"Where are you?" My excitement was ever-growing.

"We're really close, about 5 minutes away."

My smile grew.

A car rumbled into my driveway causing me to leap off the bed and run as fast as I could down to the door.

I heard the slam of two doors and then a knock.

My hand was still, I was waiting so I didn't seem too desperate.

Then I flung the door open and nearly screamed.

Calum reached forward and pulled me into a hug, comforting me.

"Oh my god I've missed you idiots so much!"

When I pulled away, Luke smiled and hugged me too.

But it was too tense, too fake.

They sat on the couch and I pulled out drinks, handing them to them.

Luke started chatting about life in Sydney, while me and Calum just exchanged lots of smiles and looks.

He kept looking at me all dreamy like and Luke noticed it a lot, but Calum didn't notice him noticing.

Suddenly Calum's phone rang and he sighed.
