Curiosity \\ A Calum Hood Fanfiction

Chapter 14// Trust

Emberlynn's pov:
I kind of feel like I'm starting to trust Calum a lot more now than I used to. I don't even know why I told him I was kidnapped. I wonder what he's thinking about me now.

Hopefully his friend who is coming with him tonight is nice and not mean. I hope his friend will understand that he can't stay for a long time.

So since it's day and the kidnappers are still here I have to work for them I have to do their laundry, cook their meals, sweep the floor, swab the floor and many other jobs too many to name the whole list.

I hate those kidnappers so much. Sometimes I wish there was a way to escape without them knowing I'm not there and without them recapturing me again.

I'm really scared that one day they'll kill me like how they kill those other teens they bring here. Even though I hate my life so much I don't wanna end it so fast.

Maybe tonight I'll let Calum in. Both ways inside the house and in to see the real me. I think I trust him enough to let him in now. But the problem is his friend what's he or she gonna think of me? So maybe I should probably let Calum in when he comes alone or when I get to know his friend better.

In 5 hours time Calum and his friend will be here and I'm gonna be pretending to be the person I am in front of Calum usually. I can't let him in yet even though I can trust him a lot more now.

Calum's pov:
"Mikey!" I whisper called him to my room. "What now Cal?" He says in a sleepy voice. "Are you ready to go?" I asked him. "Go where?" He asks confused. "Don't tell me you've already forgotten" I say to him. "Forgotten about what?" he asks. "Remember you wanted to come with me?" I reminded him. "Oh yeah, now I remember" he says. Get ready we'll leave as soon as possible now that the coast is clear.

"Okay I'm ready now," Michael informs me. "We need to be as quiet as we can possibly be, got it?"
I ask him. "Yep" He answers. "Oh and one more thing I almost forgot we need to leave before 5:00 am we can't stay any longer, got it?" I ask him. "Got it" he answers. "Okay then let's go" I say.

We slowly crept through our garden until we reached the house next to ours. When we reached there I slowly and silently knocked on the door.

When she opened the door she came outside and we sat on chairs in the balcony. "We aren't allowed inside Mikey" I whispered. "Okay" he whispered back. "Wait, you two haven't met yet" I say looking at Michael and Emberlynn. "Michael this is Emberlynn, Emberlynn this is Michael" I say introducing them to each other. "It's nice to meet you Emberlynn" Michael says. "It's nice to meet you too Michael" She says back. "So Emberlynn, what's your favorite colour?" I ask. She giggles. "Black" she answers me. "Cool, I like green best" Michael says. "Oh and I like baby blue" I say.

"So like why does Calum come here like every night?" Michael says. "Um.. I don't--" she tries to answer but I cut her off. "Because I don't like seeing people all alone for most of their lives" I say. "Oh okay" Mikey says in a way like he doesn't believe it. "I thought you fell in love with---" he says but I cut him off. "We're just friends!" I whisper shout at him. "Okay I thought you both were more- never mind" he says feeling a bit ashamed of what he suspected. "I'm sorry about that Emberlynn" I say. "It's fine" she replied. "Mikey just jumps to conclusions all the time" I say. "I'm sorry I thought you both were together or something" Michael says. "It's fine, so what do you wanna talk about?" Emberlynn asks. "How long have you been staying here?" Michael asks Emberlynn. "About twelve years" she answers him. "Woah! That's a long time" He says. "Do you like living here?" He adds. "Umm.. if I'm being honest not really" she says. "Why not?" He asks. "Mikey I think that's getting a bit personal for someone you just met" I say looking at Michael and Emberlynn.

"Umm.. guys it's almost 5:00 am I think it's time to leave" She says. "Okay, yeah we'll leave now" I say. "Bye I'll see you whenever I see you, it was nice to meet you Emberlynn" Michael says. "Yeah, it was nice meeting you too Michael" she replies. "Bye Emberlynn" I say. "Bye Calum" she says back.

When we reached back home Michael asked me "Why did we have to leave before 5:00?" "Long story short there are kidnappers that live there" I answer him.

Emberlynn's pov:
Michael and Calum are such close friends. Their friendship is so cute. I only wish I had a friendship as strong as that as well. I never really learnt a lot about good friendships cause the last time I remember having a really close friendship was twelve years ago.

I'm glad that Calum didn't ask me any of the questions he normally does when he comes alone. Maybe he thinks that if he asks those sort of questions then Michael will feel out of place or something like that. Anyways it still shows how close their friendship really is.

If only I could escape this misery of a life I'm living and live a normal life. I would have close friends and maybe even see my long lost family.

I need to find a way to get out of here. Maybe someday I will, maybe I'll be loved again someday, maybe I'll learn what true friendship really means, maybe I'll get to go outside more than I do nowadays and maybe I won't feel like dying every single day of the stupid life that I lead.
