Bullied

Chapter 14

~Calum~

I stare at my empty room. I can't believe we are moving back. I have to admit, I thought this was a bad idea, going back home. But I miss her. I miss my best friend. I hate the fact we left her to be bullied by Mackenzie. Also, I miss Bri.

Ever since grade 4 I have had a massive crush on her. I loved her long brown hair that went just below her shoulders, when her brown eyes would sparkle, her freckles, everything about her. When Jayden told me in grade 8 that Bri liked me I thought she was kidding. Why would Bri go for a guy like me? So I didn't take any consideration into it. I regret that. When I called her, I made sure I told her how I felt. What she said in that phone call I wouldn't forget. I can't wait to see her again.

~flashback to the call~

I waited patiently as the phone rang. Finally Bri picked up the phone

"Hello?" She said. Her voice had changed but I can't tell it's her

"Bri?" I asked

"Yes who's this?"She asked. It was a shame she didn't recognize me

"Bri it's me, Calum."

"Calum? Calum Hood?" She asked. I couldn't believe she remembered who I was.

"Yeah it's me."

"Oh my god! Hey! How are you! Your voice changed a lot! I can hear a strong Australian accent." She said very excitedly. I laugh

"I am good. And yeah my voice changed." I laughed

"How did you get my number?"

"We received all of our old contacts. I found yours."

"Oh makes sense."

"Bri... Do you talk to Jayden?"

"Not really. I just saw her not to long ago with some new guy Niall at P.F Changs." She said. Damn it, he took her to her favorite restaurant .

"Oh..." Is all I said

"What's wrong?" She asked. Next thing I know I broke down crying.

"It's all my fault! I left her to be bullied and I can't forgive myself!" I cried into the phone.

"Cal... It's not your fault. You didn't know better. I can tell you had strong feelings for her. I mean after she told me you didn't like me back" She told me. Bri did like me

"Wait.. you liked me?" I asked

"Yeah..." she said

"Bri... I really liked you too. I never liked Jade. I only liked you." I said. She stayed silent for a little

"Cal.. I had no idea." She finally said

"Hell, Bri I still might like you. You are all I can think about. I had one girlfriend but she just reminded me of you. I am like Luke right now." I confessed

"Luke?" She asked

"He isn't over Jayden." I said
