×Calum×

Calum was in absolute shock when Bella left. He raised a shaky finger to his lips and ran them over, not believing what had just happened.

Bella had done it. She had initiated the kiss. She hasn't judged him when he confessed that he liked her, just... kissed him.

Girls were confusing.

He giggled like a small schoolgirl and thought that if Michael or Luke were here, they would slap the back of his head.

Mali found him and raised an eyebrow at his giggles before sighing and grabbing another can of Coke from the fridge, muttering something about "boys giggling is so weird, what the hell..." and going to her room.

He followed her up the stairs and went into his own room, sitting down in the moon chair and grabbing his phone from his pocket.

He scrolled through Instagram, liking everything because he was just so happy.

Deciding that he had enough energy, he went outside to play some soccer.

"Mali!" Calum shouted, knowing she probably wouldn't answer. "Come play soccer with me."

"Be there soon," she said from her room. She was probably behind the screen of her phone right now.

He retrieved his soccer ball from the basket of sports gear from by the staircase cupboard.

[a.k.a. harry potter's bedroom]

Calum dropped the ball and stared at it then glancing at his goal. He imagined Luke standing there, blocking it from him even though Luke would squeal and duck every time the ball came sailing towards him.

He dribbled the ball, weaving through invisible opponents. He twirled around with the ball still between his feet.

"Go, Calum!" Ashton would cheer.

"Score the winning goal, Calum!" Michael would shout, jumping up and down like a monkey.

"I believe in you, Calum," a small voice would say, and he never knew who it belonged to.

Until he met her.

Her long hair. Her dark eyes. Tanned skin. Beautiful voice. Latina. Her. Calum... Calum didn't know how to describe her as something other than beautiful. Completely, utterly, breathtakingly beautiful.

He adored her in every way possible, even though she was anorexic.

If they dated, he would hold her close, whisper in her ear how much he loved her. He would let her wear his clothes. He would kiss her when she got upset or mad about something he did. He would hold her hand in front of Luke, Michael and Ashton just to tell his friends she was his. She was dating him. But she wasn't.

And she never would.

He opened his Twitter, about to like the tweet his finger was hovering over. Her tweet.

@bella_roddyyy: #regrets ??

And his whole world came crashing down.
