note:there is some arzaylea mention. if you stan her, don't bother commenting hate. don't waste my time thanks:))
brin didn't know what was going on in her head. the fact that she was on the floor, her head snuggling into the chest of her ex boyfriend, she didn't know what to feel, what to think, what to say. she tensed up as she felt calum's hand go up and down her back, comforting her as she wiped away her tears that made her eyeliner smear. she pulled away and crossed her legs, looking down at the ground. calum looks down at her and he sits up against the edge of the bed, legs up and arms wrapped around his knees, his full focus on his ex girlfriend.
"what do we do now?" she said quietly, turning her fingers around each other in silence. calum didn't know how to answer that. he was hoping she would know the answer to that. calum sighed and sat up, barely crossing his legs.
"i was hoping you would know the answer to that."
brin looked up at the boy and then back down at her thighs. "do you expect me to forget two years of silence from you and two years of mistreatment?"
calum's heart broke as she called their relationship "mistreatment". he tried really hard to make their relationship right. he really did. he didn't think he mistreated her. calum sniffed his nose and turned his attention to the window outside, the sky barely dark.
"i was hoping you'd forgive me. i'd never expect you to forget," calum said, choking on his words and tensing up.
"so what are you going to do? swoon me with chocolates and take me to my favorite places, hoping you would sweep me off my feet?" they both giggled at her offer, knowing that's what all calum did when he actually knew he fucked up.
"that bad?"
"that cheesy," brin smiled at the boy and he smiled back at her, both of them knowing this was the only moment they forgot the bad memories of their relationship. their moment was interrupted by this knocking on the door, resulting in calum yelling "come in!"
the door opened and in came a very curly haired boy by the name of ashton, the one she least liked out of his friends. i mean, she liked him, but he could've never compete with Luke.
"you know who's here and she's upset...again." Ashton's face became all worried but all sassy, as he turned to brin. "hey brin," he said, giving her a slight smile. what was ashton talking about? a girl? was calum dating someone? brin turned her attention back to calum who sighed and started to get up.
"let us introduce you to someone," he said, holding out his hand. was he going to show her his girlfriend? was he kidding? brin was hesitant but she gave in, knowing she had to get out of this room eventually. she dusted off her pants and walked ahead of calum, passing by ashton.
"you guys friends now?" ashton whispered to calum, stopping him before he exited the room. he sighed and slumped down in defeat."she's a part of the crew and im a part of the band who the crew is managing. i don't know," calum said, shrugging his shoulder. ashton looked at him with a bit of suspicion, but knowing the pain he's gone through, he needed this.
"what the fuck are we supposed to do?!" ashton yelled to luke as they hid in the kitchen, listening to the commotion that was going on in the living room. luke tried to call brin hundreds of time but every time, it went to voicemail.
"goddamn it!" luke yelled, slamming his phone down onto the counter. ashton looked at him worried, then realized it was enough. ashton put on his straight face and walked into the living room, watching calum throw pots, picture frames, anything that was in his view. ashton ran over to calum before he could throw the remote and held onto his shoulders.
"hey, hey!" ashton yelled, holding onto calum as his bloodshot eyes were filled to the brink with tears, his face covered in a layer of sweat on top of his red face. he punched ashton in the chest and in the shoulder, hoping to get him off, but knowing ashton was a lot taller and lifted a lot more than him, he didn't have a chance.
"calum, calm down!" ashton said, spitting in the boy's face, trying to shake him calm. calum looked up at him and his bloodshot eyes met ashton's face, his nose scrunching and his eyebrows furrowing. calum calmed his breathing and pushed off ashton, dusting off his shoulders.
"alright, alright." calum sighed, and ran his hands over his face. luke ran in as soon as he heard the commotion calm down. ashton looked at calum worried, while luke looked at him like he was going to kill him.
"you gotta get over her mate," ashton said, running his hand through his hair, looking around at the mess that calum created. calum shook his head and grabbed onto the hem of his shirt, pulling on it.
"i fucking can't. how can i-"
"maybe if you weren't such a fuck up, we wouldn't be in this mess!" luke yelled, his voice echoing in the room, causing ashton to bring a hand up to his ear because it was so loud.
"i was drunk-"
"why is that your only excuse?!" luke yelled.
"luke, mate, calm-"
"i won't calm down over the fact that this fuck tard," luke pointed his finger high at calum, "broke brin's heart! you say that you're drunk but was the other 50 times you did this to her, was that because you were drunk? no! you're just selfish and you think brin, this girl we've all known for 6 years, is going to give you sex when YOU fuck up!" luke finished with his breathing became heavier and both ashton and calum looked at him surprised. luke shook his head and ran out the door, slamming the dark wood door. as soon as he left, ashton ran out after him, leaving calum standing there, recalling his past actions. was he really that selfish? and when he noticed he really was, he screamed as loud as he could punched the wall closest to him, making a large indent in the gray colored wall. his wrist throbbed in pain, but nothing compared to the emotional pain he felt everywhere.
"who are we meeting?" brin asked ashton, when both of them caught up to the fast girl. brin stuffed her hands into her pockets, avoiding the gaze that calum was giving her. all he did was stare at her as they went down to the lobby. she felt his burning gaze but she didn't bother turning to him. sure, she might've cried into his chest and all, but it was going to take some time.
they all finally reached the lobby and all three see luke and michael, huddled around a smaller and tanner girl. once the three reached hearing distance, luke and michael turned around, spacing out to let brin see the girl in front of them.
"brin! i want ya to meet arzaylea," luke said smiling, putting his hand on the girl's back, motioning her towards brin.
"you the new groupie?" she said in a very judgy tone. brin looked at her surprised and her hand tensed up as she shook the girl's hand with long nails. "i'm totally kidding, girl!" she laughed, looking up to luke, who was hesitantly laughing along with her. "it's so cool to meet you and i love your outfit!" she exclaimed. brin looked down at her outfit and all she was wearing was a plain lacrosse t shirt with leggings and mocassins. brin looked back up at the girl who was dressed in a ripped band tee and jeans with openings that looked like it was cut on purpose with high heels. yeah she totally loved her outfit.
"thanks, i really like yours!" brin said, smiling. arzaylea smiled back and she turned back to luke, wrapping her left arm around his shoulder. her hand moved up to his hair and she ruffled her hand through it.
"you should really change your hairstyle. ya know, i was going through your old pictures and i found your old hair," she stood on her toes so her mouth could reach luke's ear, "really hot," she whispered. luke's face was red as a tomato and the rest of the band turned away, avoiding the couple's pda.
"since we're all here," luke said, noticing his band was totally uncomfortable, "nice guy?" he said, cracking a devilish grin.
SOMEONE LAUGH AT THE JOKE I MADE AT THE END :D
