Holding on to you

Chapter 5

The whole time we were at that mall I've been avoiding calums gaze on me . He knew something was wrong and he just wouldn't stop . We decide not to go to the beach since it got really windy out side plus, Jessica was going to go back to calums house , I didn't really want to be in the same place as her. So, I just went to Michaels . I told Calum before that I was going to hang out at Michaels house. I have a lot to tell him we have a lot to share with each other.

We pulled in his drive way and got out the car heading towards the door . He unlocks the door and we walk in there, was no one here so we decided to sit in the living room.

" Anna do you want like a soda or something ?"

" No, I'm fine thanks mikey " I say with a small smile. He nodded and gets a water bottle from the fridge and walk to sit next to me on the couch.

" So...what's been going on you've been off lately " I say

" Well...There's a lot of things been going on my parents are always gone and I'm always here by myself so there's really no one I can talk to ,but you because you understand me". He say with a small smile I could see what he's about to tell me he's been keeping it in for a while and he just needs to release it    

" For a long time now I've been depressed and it's getting worse because it's taking over me , I'm trying my best to be happy but with the things that's been going on like my parents always gone or how some of my closes friends are fading away it gets to me like me , you ,Calum , Ashton and Luke been best friends since we were young and i don't know I guess I don't want it to fade away , or how school and how I try to keep my grades up but fail every single time I'm just done trying , trying to be happy or trying to get my parents to realized how much they are away I'm just done trying to be happy " by now Michael had tears in his eyes  I pulled him in too a hug

" Michael things are gonna get better okay , I know how you feel my dad passed away about 3 years ago and I miss him so much , my mom is always away because of her job I know how you feel and your not alone in this I'm gonna always be there for you . I know recently things hasn't been the best our group is kinda fading and I've noticed that too but are friendship that the five of us have is unbreakable and things might seem out of place right now but it won't be like that forever remember that and if you ever need help with school or anything like that I'm always here if you need me " he smiles and nods I could tell that he wasn't telling me everything and that he still had things on his mind.

" Enough about me how have you been lately ? " he says

" Well... Today when we were at the mall Jessica basically threatened me and told me to basically stay away from Calum , I mean I can't he's my best friend " I say with my head down

" and Michael I think I'm in love with Calum and I want to tell him how I feel even though I hate Jessica he seems happy with her and i don't want to ruin that ..I-l just don't know Michael. I want to tell him so bad but I don't want to ruin our friendship " I say michael turned to face me.

" Anna somethings are meant to be said you don't wanna wait till its too late , you have to take that chance you never know Calum might feel the same way as you do and who care Jessica is a bitch. I think we both know that so don't worry about her maybe Calum will soon figure out that he's not meant to be with her . You need to take that chance it doesn't have to be now but it need to be soon " he says I nodded in response.

" Thanks Michael "

" Anything you need I'm always here and thank you too I feel better " he says with a small smile .

" I'm always here for you too " I say

I decided I should go back to Calum's house since it was getting late. I said goodbye to Michael and started to walk back to Calum's house my thoughts start to wonder when I'm by myself maybe Michael was right I mean there could be a possibility that Calum could feel the same way . My thought process was stopped when I see Jessica and this guy named jack at the park they were holding hands and kissing . I was shocked why would she cheat on Calum .. she's not gonna get away with this . I ran back to the house . I walked up to the door and opened it Calum was smile . I looked at him with a serious face I had to tell him about Jessica .

" Hey Anna what's wrong ? "

" We need to talk " I say

" Okay we should go to my room " he says I follow him up the stairs and entered his bed room I sat on the bed .

" Alright, so what's up ? " he looked confused but a little nervous at what I'm about to say.

" I was walking here and I  was passing the park and saw Jessica kissing jack " I say

" What ?" He says he looked so broken.

" It's true and I ran so that she couldn't see me " I say

" I can't believe she would do this to me" he looked angry

" Calum she was just using you and she messed with your feeling she's not worth it , cal she's not " I say trying to making him feel better by now Calum was crying I guess he really did like her.

" I don't even know why I'm crying she's not even worth the tears " he says wiping his tears " this whole time she was playing me and just using me and messing with my feelings "

" I'm gonna break up with her .. I'm gonna do it now " he says getting his jacket

" cal " I could see he was hurt and I didn't want him to do anything bad , but I was too late he walked out the door I run after him .
