Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Part 12

"Calum hood and girlfriend split, after three years together."
"Calum hood dumped in Bali?"
"Calum hood and girlfriend of three years call off engagement."

Was all you would see when you opened your phone, People blowing up your notifications on all your social media asking about you and Calum. It made you sad, And it hurt that all the headlines were true, It felt like a dream, A nightmare actually. You never wanted to lose Calum, You just thought that you both needed time away from each other, You never expected him to break up with you or to call off the engagement.

It had been about a week, The last time you heard anything from the boys was, Luke and Micheal were back in Sydney and Ashton was in LA but Calum was still in Bali with a few friends. You hadn't personally heard anything from them, No calls, No texts. Nothing. You called Calum the day you arrived at Jenny's place but he just ignored your calls and texts, It really hurt and all you could do is feel sorry for yourself.
You missed not being able to sleep next to him, Or to see his face, or hear is voice. You were used to his presence everyday for the past three years so not being around him for more than one day was driving you insane. The worst thing is his birthday is in a week and you remember planning a trip for the both of you to celebrate.

"Hey, Matt will be here soon." Jenny says and you nod your head.
Matthew was a childhood friend of you and Jenny and he was coming down to visit, He had missed Jenny's big birthday bash and so he decided to come and visit the both of you, Making it up to her for missing her party, And to hopefully help cheer you up due to the break up.

Lunch
You sat at the table just moving your food around with your fork as you stared blankly at the plate.
"You need to eat." Matt says, You look up at him and he gives you a half hearted smile.
"I'm just not very hungry." You say, with a sigh, You push your food away from you, Resting your elbow on the table and your chin resting on your hand, you glance over to see someone stood at the counter catching your eye. Arzaylea. She looks right at you, Her eyes go big and you turn your head as fast as you could, trying to hide your face behind your hand.
"Can we go?" You asks and Jenny gives you a glare.
"I'm eating..." She says with a mouth full of food.
"Why what's wrong?" Matt asks and you glance back over to look at Arz who was now making her way over to you.
"Hi." Arzaylea says as she gives you a smile, She turns to your friends and gives them a smile and shakes their hands as she introduces herself.
"This is Luke's girlfriend." You say adding to her introduction.
"I like your hair." You say pointing out her new blonde locks.
"Oh! Yeah!" She says with a giggle as he plays with a stand of it.
"I just wanted to try something new.." She adds and you just give her an awkward smile and a nod of your head.
"So, Ugh.... How have you been?" She asks.
"Fine." You simply say and she gives you an awkward smile back.
"Can i talk to you?" She asks as she looks at your friends and gives them a smile.
"Alone. Please?" She asks and you look to your friends and they nod their head in approval, You get up and walk outside with her.
"What's up?" you ask.
"You didn't break up with Calum because of me? Did you?" She asks point blank.
"Because Luke thinks it's because of me! And if it is i'm so sorry i really didn't want to break you two up! I know i was giving you guys a hard time back in Bali and i said some really horrible things about you and Calum, And the whole having an affair with him." She says rambling.
"No. It's not you." You simply say, Lying, Because she was some of the reason that you wanted to leave Bali sooner.
"Okay, Good i was really worried, Luke hasn't spoken to me in days because he was kinda pissed at the whole, You and Calum breaking up thing, He kinda blames me for it." She explains.
"Well tell Luke to get over it because it has nothing to do with you." You blankly say, her smile fades and she looks down at the ground.
"I really am sorry about the engagement. have you heard anything from him? Calum.... I mean." She asks and you simply shake your head no.
"I think he's still in Bali." She adds.
"I know." You say.
"I really think you both shou-" She starts.
"Look, Arz i really don't want to talk about this with you. I really don't want to talk about it at all. With anyone. My friends are waiting, I should probably get back to them." You say she looks down at the ground and nods.
"Yeah. Okay." She says and you nod your head and begin to walk off.
"Nice seeing you." She simply says and you nod your head once more as you walk back into the cafe. Jenny and Matt were finished with their lunch and you all headed to Matts car.
"What was that all about?" Jenny asks as she climbs into the car.
"Nothing." You simply say
As Matt drives off to the next place you guys had planned to go to he turns the radio on, A familiar voice catches your attention and you quickly realize it's Michael and Luke on the radio talking with Smallzy back in Aus.
"Matt turn it up." You say and he does.

"So boys, Glad to see you back here in Aus for a bit, You guys were just here for Christmas, Did you miss your families?" Kent asks.

"Yeah, It's always great to be back home, We miss it!" Luke says.

"You guys just got back from Bali? How was that?" Kent asks

"It was great man, A friend of ours, Crystal Leigh set up the whole trip and we teamed up with this really cool app called ponder where we have posted a lot of really cool pictures." Mikey says

"Yeah i've seen them, Really nice, I like this one, Of Ashton, You guys listening in can't see it but you can find it on Calum Hood's Instagram account." Kent explains.

You knew exactly which picture it was, It was the one you took of Ashton, when he was watching Bry on the beach.

"Yeah, that one isn't actually a ponder pic, Our friend [Y/N] took that one, she's actually quite good with a camera" Luke says, You can see Matt look at you through the rear view mirror, checking to see your reaction.

"Awe, Yeah what a sweetheart she is, isn't she?" Kent asks

"Yeah. The sweetest, We love [Y/N] shes the coolest." Mikey says.

"Yeah, she was nice enough to pretty much take care of us on the trip, Cooked us breakfast and lunch, ordered in dinner when no one else wanted to, Made sure we were safe when drinking and partying." Luke says.

"Yeah, I remember the first time i met her, It was here in the studio, Calum brought her along and i remember she yelled at Calum when he said something rude to Luke." Kent says with a laugh and you couldn't help but smile, You remember that day, Calum was in a bad mood because he wasn't feeling well and the boys had interviews all day and when Luke made fun of him for something he said on the radio, Calum snapped at him and you told him off for being so mean to Luke.

"How is she? I hear something not so great happened over the last few days of the Bali trip." Kent says, The radio was silent for a bit until Luke spoke up.

"Yeah, is it alright if we don't talk about it?" Luke asks

"I mean to be honest even we don't really know exactly what happened, so it's not really our business to put theirs out there." Mikey adds

"Yeah, Yeah, Of course." Kent says

"Calum is good though? He's still relaxing in Bali?" Kent asks

"Yeah! He's loving in there, He's spending some alone time for a bit but he'll be back to us in no time."Mikey explains.

"And Ash?" Kent asks.

"Yeah he's good, He's taking a bit of a holiday in LA." Luke says
"He loves it there." Mikey says with a laugh.
The rest of the interview was the three of them playing some stupid game and they talked a bit about the upcoming tour.
"Can you change the station?" You ask Matt and he gives you a half hearted smile and a nod.

12:00am

You lay awake in bed just staring at the wall, No matter what you did you couldn't fall asleep, Matthew and Jenny were fast asleep hours ago, You three had finished the day with dinner in a nice restaurant, Matthew of course treating you and Jenny both with great food and alcohol, You of course didn't drink any but you still enjoyed the night. You felt your phone buzz on the bed and your heart skipped a beat when you noticed who it was. Calum.
"Hello?!" You say, Sitting up in the bed trying to hear him but all you hear is muffled noises.
"Calum?!?! HELLO?!" You yell into the phone but the line went dead.
You tried calling him again but there was no answer, You waited a few minutes, called back and nothing.
About an hour later your phone begins to buzz again, You looked and saw Calums name pop up on the screen.
"HELLO?!?" You say.
"Hello?" You hear a young woman's voice say, You go frozen and just sit there, you checked to see the name on your phone, making sure it was definitely Calums number that called you.
"Hello? Can i help you? Who is this?" She says and you just sit there trying to think who the woman was, It definitely wasn't Mali's voice, It wasn't a voice that seemed familiar to you.
"Listen, Whoever you are i'm hanging up now." The woman says and the line goes dead.
