metanoia - 5SOS

When I finally made it home, I found myself stumbling to the bathroom cabinet for Tylenol. There was no more left, so I went to go check my moms room. As I was searching, I noticed that she wasn't home, again. A ring from my pocket made me jump, I run my hand through my hair in pain. I look down thinking it would be Calum, but it was an unsaved contact. I open up and reply with "who is this?" I shove the phone back into my pocket and make my way to my bedroom. My phone rang again but I ignored it for a bit as I fall onto my bed. I just couldn't find the strength to move any part of my body. My throat felt dry, as if I were sick, and it was uncomfortable. The phone rang again, and I finally grab it to see the unknown number yet again. I open the text to see it was from Carson, the guy I had danced with at the party last night. As I was about to text back he sent another one, "Sorry I left so abruptly last night, I had to find my sister, once I found out that she came to meet up with this guy she's been seeing." The text read, with two laughing faced emoji's following. 

"Oh, who's your sister?" I text back, and instead of turning off my phone, I stayed focused in the messages. "Kylie." He replied, the name rang a bell, but I couldn't put my finger on it, so I just ignored the name. "Anyways you doing anything today?" He asks, it was Saturday, and considering what happened this morning, Calums probably hanging out with Tarin, the usual. We texted for a bit, making plans:

me: no why?

carson: want to meet up somewhere to hang?

me: sure :)

carson: cool, lets meet at the milano's pizza shop.

me: alright

Carson and I hung out, eating pizza and then seeing a movie. It was nice that he paid for it all but I obviously felt bad because I hate people paying for me. Carson was cute and funny, I learned that he plays football, and plays the guitar. It was only 6 P.M. So he suggested that we would go back to his place, and so we did.

We finally pulled up to his house and it was pretty big, maybe three times my house. When we walked in I immediately heard music blasting, and when I look to the right, I could see Michael and the chick he ditched me for last night, playing Just dance. Michaels facial expression dropped when he saw me standing at the door laughing, and he drops his controller.

"Kylie what the hell, why is he here when I'm not?" Carson says in a slightly pissed off tone. It finally hit me that the girl from last night's name is Kylie, and also Carson's sister..

"Shut up Carson. Stop acting like you control me or something." She says grabbing Michael's hand and taking him upstairs. Carson just throws his phone on the couch, and sits down. He pats the spot next to him signaling me to sit next to him.

I soon found myself waking up snuggled against Carson's chest. I look up and notice the lights were out and the TV was on Netflix, forgot we had watched a weird ass movie. I open my phone and see missed texts and FaceTime calls from Calum.  I look up and notice Kylie showing Michael towards the door, but I notice he stopped and started walking to me.

"Hey you need a ride?" He whispers trying not to wake up Carson. I just nod and carefully get up trying not to disturb Carson's slumber.

Michael and I sluggishly made our way to his car, and out of Carson's driveway. As we were driving it was quiet and I couldn't seem to close my eyes. I look at Michael who looked a bit tired. Remembering that Calum tried getting a hold of me, I call him back.

"Hello?" I hear a low manly voice say with no emotion.

"Hey, sorry I didn't answer earlier, whats up?"
