*a few days later*

Calum and I still aren't talking and that's a really bad sign. We would have made up by now, but we still haven't and it's heart breaking. We avoid each other and at all costs, and whenever someone asks when we are going to make up, we shrug and never look up from what we are doing.

"You guys go on in 5" our stage producer said to us.

I put my ear plugs in my ear and grabbed my guitar, checking to make sure the strap is on right. The last time I didn't check, I put my guitar on and the strap wasn't all the way on, and it fell on the floor and cracked in half. Sad story right?

"Shit" I mumbled. I lost my lucky pick.

"Luke do you know where my lucky pick is?"

"No sorry"

"Michael?" I asked.

"I thinks its on the amp on stage"

I grunted and took my guitar off, shuffling onto the stage and immediately all the girls were screaming at the top of their lungs.

I walked over to the amp an noticed it was gone.

Shit.

I looked up and saw Calum smirking at me. He held up my lucky pick and flicked it off of the stage and onto the floor where the girls were at.

"OH MY GOD I GOT BROOKE'S LUCKY PICK" I heard and saw a girl admiring it. I gave Calum my middle finger and walked over to the group of girls that had my pick.

"Hey guys...um can I have my pick back?"

The girl frowned handed it to me.

She seemed upset so I wanted to make it up to her.

"Hey here, you can have the one I use to practice with" and she immediately smiled like a Cheshire Cat. I grabbed the pick out of my pocket and handed it to her.

"Thanks!"

I nodded and went up the stage and into the backstage area. I have to have my lucky pic because I use it for shows to give me good luck. If I don't have it, I mess up.

"You guys are on" the stage producer announced to us.

We all walked on stage and all the girls (and boys) were screaming so loud that my ear plugs couldn't even block it. Hopefully they'll be quiet.

We played all of our songs and put our instruments down, and started introducing ourselves to the people that don't know who we are.

"Hey, I'm Ash" Ashton said in the microphone. Screams where so loud I swear my ear was going to explode.

"Im Luke!" Luke said excitedly.

"I'm Michael" Michael smiled

"I'm Calum" Calum said waving at the massive crowd in front of us. How'd this happen? I remember just writing songs for the fun of it with Calum and-.

All of the sudden my world stopped. I turned my head and glanced at Calum for a brief second and memories of him and I started to black out everything else.

**********

My first day of 1st grade.

"Only babies wear braids" one of the second graders said to me.

"Yeah your such a baby" another said.

One of the kids grabbed scissors out of his pocket and snipped off my braid.

"Heyyy" I cried.

"Leave her alone!" One of my classmates said. I don't really know his name.

"What if I don't?" The kid asked tightly gripping my small arm.

"I'll tell the teacher"

"No! don't!" he said running away.

I was still sobbing because 1st of all, I was made fun of and 2nd of all, they cut my hair off.

"Are you okay?" My classmate asked coming over to me.

I nodded my head sniffling.

"I'm Calum"

I didn't look up from my shoes, tears falling onto my white sneakers.

"Hey it's okay. Your hair still looks pretty" he smiled making me look at him.

"Thanks I'm Brooklyn. But you can call me Brooke" I smiled.

The bell rang and we went back to class.

**2nd grade**

"Brooke can you staple these papers?" Mrs.Levi asked me.

"Sure!" I said, excited that the teacher asked me to do something and no one else.

My short hair swayed as I went to the front of the class to receive the papers I needed to staple. I went over to the stapler and put the papers in it. Without thinking, I pushed down without moving my finger, and stapled it. I jerked back and examined my finger. The staple went through my finger.

"Oww" I started crying.

The teacher rushed over to me and examined my finger.

"Calum take Brooke to the clinic"

Calum and I walked to the clinic, and he grabbed my good hand, swinging it back and forth.

"You'll be okay Brooke" Calum said to me.

I nodded, tears still coming from my eyes. We walked into the clinic and the lady at the desk took us into the back room. She examined my finger and frowned.

"This is going to hurt" she said.

I nodded and reconnected my left hand with Calum's. The lady pulled the staple out and I screamed, squeezing Calum's hand as tight as I could.

"I'll be right back. We ran out of band aids" she said walking out of the room.

"Can you kiss it?" I asked him, holding my finger up.

"Fine" he sighed and kissed my finger.

"All better?" He asked me.

"All better"

**3rd grade**

"Calum guess what?!?!" I screamed as we ran back to my house from the bus stop after school.

"What??"

"My dad got me a guitar!" I screamed showing him my new acoustic guitar when we reached my room.

"That's so cool! Can you play?"

"Yeah I used to play my piano teachers guitar all the time when I went to her house for piano lessons"

"I didn't know that! I play too!"

"Awesome!"

"Can you go get yours from your house?" I asked him.

"Maybe we can play together!" I said.

"Like a band?" He asked.

"Yeah!"

**8th grade**

Tears streamed down my face as I called Calum.

"Hello?"

"Calum, Aaron dumped meeee" I cried in the phone.

"That's it I'm going to whoop his butt" he said and the call ended. I know he's going to Aaron's house. I don't want Calum to hurt him so I ran down stairs and grabbed my bike off of the grass, and biked as fast I could to Aaron's house. But of course, Calum beat me. I saw his bike thrown by the door and I sprinted up to the door. It was unlocked so I opened it and I saw Calum hovered over Aaron who was on the floor and his nose was bleeding.

"CALUM!" I screamed pulling Calum off of Aaron.

"Are you okay?" I asked Aaron. I wiped the blood off his nose, but he pushed me off.

"I'm fine. Now leave. I was in the middle of something" he said and he walked over to Aubrey. I don't even notice she was there and they started snogging each others face off. Tears streamed down my face and I ran out the door.

"Brooke!" Calum yelled. I turned around and he jogged over to me.

"Don't worry about him. He's just a jerk that doesn't even see what's in front of him" Calum said putting his hands on my shoulders.

"Yes he does" I said looking down.

"No he doesn't Brooke. Your perfect and kind and everything a guy would want in a girl"

"Thanks" I smiled. I kissed his cheek and rode my bike back to my house.

**end of flashbacks**

I just realized that all this time, I had been in love with Calum and didn't even know it.

I ran off stage to where Calum was since we finished, and I ran up to him and grabbed his face. I stood on the tip of my toes and crashed my lips onto his, fireworks exploding all over the place. He kissed me back and I eventually pulled away, getting tired of standing on the tip of my toes.

"Calum I love you" I whispered.

"I've never been happier to hear those words" he smiled.
