Calums Girl

I Shouldn't Be Broken

I tried not to cry. I don't know why I even cared, but I just did. I never really thought that I cared about calum in this way. "Colleen, can we talk?" Ashton said. "Yeah." My voice was strained. He took my hand and pulled me to a chair. We sat down, and he just looked at me. After what felt like 10 minutes, I finally said, "what?" Without breaking his gaze, he said, "Nothing. I just think that you don't deserve this. I mean, why do this to someone as sweet and kind as you? I just don't get it." He said, still looking at me. I couldn't help it. That broke me. It broke me how ashton cared so much, and I didn't even know. He wanted to protect me, and I finally understood that. I always knew, we were friends, and friends would usually want to protect each other, but this was a different kind. He cared more than a friend would. "Look, Colleen, I know it doesn't seem like it, to either of us, but I know for a fact that he would never try hurting you intentionally. I know him, and I also know that you know too." He said quietly. I looked at him and slowly nodded my head. "I know ashton." I whispered, enough for him to hear.

Ashton
"I know ashton." She whispered. I was mad at calum. Of course I believed he didn't want to hurt her, but it was a douchebag move. I looked at her, lost in my thoughts. This must be really hard for her, I thought to myself. "I think he's just going through something." I said,doubting my own words. I looked at Colleen. All I could do was stare at her. I don't know why, but in that moment, she was the most beautiful thing in the world. She was always beautiful, but I was never mesmerized by her. I stepped closer to her until we were a couple inches apart. I didn't realize what I was doing until it happened, but I leaned towards her and she did the same. I was about to kiss her, until someone walked into the room. Colleen pulled away quickly as I looked up. It was calum, and he was staring at us, completely shocked.

Calum

I couldn't believe it. Colleen was about to kiss Ashton. I turned around as quickly as I walked in. My face was flushed red from anger, disappointment was giving me knots in my chest. dammit, I thought to myself as I went downstairs. "calum! calum, wait!" ashton was running after me trying to get me to stop. I was having trouble breathing but I didn't stop. I didn't want to face him after him and Colleen almost kissed. I felt someone grab my arm and pull me backwards. I would've fallen if he didn't have his hands on my shoulders. I turned around and punched him, causing him to lose his balance and stumble. "What?!" I yelled, full of anger. He just looked at me with a sad look in his eyes, than whispered softly, "Calum, I'm sorry." I stared at him and turned away. I didn't have the sense to move, so I stayed there for what felt like hours. I finally turned around. I stared at him, deciding whether to punch him or talk to him. I decided to talk, which was very unlike me. I didn't want to hurt Colleen. I was sick of hurting her. "Ashton, you deserve for me to ignore you, but I want to get this resolved, so please explain what I just saw." I said while looking at Colleen. I looked at Ashton, and he smiled, grateful for a chance to talk. "Well Colleen looked upset so I wanted to make her feel better. And I wasn't really thinking when I almost kissed her." I felt my pulsating anger soften. "Ok." I simply said, still looking at Colleen.
