Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Part 14

You heard a knock on your door and you ignored it.

"[Y/N]? We're leaving in a few are you ready?" Mali asks through the door, You were contemplating on faking to be sick and on bailing out on the day trip but Mali had planned it a while back, You all were going to have breakfast and then go to the beach, have lunch somewhere, take Calum shopping and then to dinner. It was an early celebration for Calums birthday since she was leaving soon and would miss it.

"Yeah, i'll be out in a minute." You say. You climb out of bed and throw on you swimsuit and your sundress, You slipped your shoes on and grabbed your purse.
When you walked out to the kitchen Calum was sat on the counter trying to nurse his hangover with a glass of water, Mali and her dad were outside packing up the beach stuff and And Calum's mom was still gathering her things.
You could feel Calum staring at you as you grabbed a drink for the fridge.
"Morning." Calum says and you just ignore him and walk out to the car where you helped Mali and her dad finish packing the car. As Mali's dad walked back in to round up Calum and Calum's mom, You grabbed Mali's arm and walked her over to talk to her privately before everyone walked outside.
"I caught Calum with another girl last night." You say.
"WHAT!?" Mali says
"Yeah. And he had sex with her right in front of me!" You add
"I was gonna go and stop it but i just couldn't. It felt like i wasn't even in my own body, I couldn't move or say anything." You explain and she just stares at you in shock.
"Luckily your mom heard the noises and walked out and they stopped." You add.
"Did she?" She begins.
"No. She didn't see them, She thought i was me and him making the noises." You say.

You both quieted down as you noticed Calum and his parents walk out.
"You know [Y/N] i still haven't gotten to see the ring my boy gave you!" Calum's mom says, You look down at your hand noticing your bare finger and covered it as you looked over at Calum,
"Oh! Yeah.." You say with an awkward laugh
"I actually left it in the house, I took it off when i washed my hands.." You say, Mentally kicking yourself for such a dumb excuse.
"No worries babe. I'll get it for you." Calum says and you give him a fake smile.
You all sat in the car, Calum walked back out and climbed in next to you.
"Here you go." He says as he hands you the ring, You Looked at it and felt like crying, You took a deep breath and slipped it on.
"Let's see it then!" Calums mom says as she turns in her seat, You give her a sad smile and held your hand out, She grabbed hold of it and a big smile formed on her face.
"It's beautiful Cal. Great choice!" She say as she let's go of your hand ans Calum gave her a half hearted smile.

"Yeah, Well Mali helped." Cal says as he gives her a smile and she just gives him a frown.

Breakfast

You all sat at around the table and Calums parents asked all about the Bali trip, Mali and Calum talked the most as you were spaced out, Staring down at your plate.
"You okay love?" Calum's dad asks and you give him a nod and smile.
Calum's phone began to buzz on the table and you looked over to see a girls name flash on his phone, He quickly grabbed it and excused himself from the table, Telling his parents that it was a business call. Mali grabbed your hand and squeezed it. And you looked over and she gave you a sad smile and you did the same, You nod your head, Letting her know you were okay and to not worry. About 5 minutes later Calum returned and apologized for the interruption and a few minutes later his phone went off again, The same name flashed on his phone and he hit the off button as put his phone in his pocket.

"May i be excused? I need to use the ladies room." You say and everyone nodded their heads. When you made it to the bathroom you grabbed your phone and dialed Ashtons number.
