Just Another Girl In The Crowd

PART 14

"Please just... Um. It's nothing. Don't worry." I try to squirm away from Calum.

He pulls me harder and closer to him.
"Tell me." He demands.

I look at him straight in the eye.

"I-I-I" I stutter.

"What?! Just spit it out!" He shouts impatiently.

I glare at the floor. "I'm not Mia-Annabella." I mumble.

He picks my chin up to make me look at him.

"What?" He slowly asks, looking betrayed.

"You heard me." I reply, gaining courage.
He shakes his head.

"You're joking. I can tell. Mia shut up." He laughs, trying to hide from the truth.

I shake my head hard.

"I am NOT Mia-Annabella." I snap at him.

He turns away from me and puts his head in his hands before turning back to me.

"Well who are you then?!" He exclaims, panic filling his voice.

"I am Seski." I bluntly blurt.

He glares at me in the eyes and I well up with tears. He continues staring at me, as if he's trying to intimidate me.

"Who?" He asks.

"Seski." I mumble.

He goes towards my door and turns the handle as I grab his hand.

"Don't leave me. Please!" I cry and fall to the floor, weeping hard.

"I can't stay with a girl I don't know." He bluntly replies and shakes me off of him.

"IM AN IDENTITY THIEF! A CRIMINAL! SESKI BANACHÉ!!" I
exclaim, trying to get him to stay with me.
I need him!! I need his help and support...

"I'm calling the police." He mumbles and grabs his phone.

"NO!!" I scream and knock his phone out of his hands.

He goes to pick it back up but I launch myself at it, eventually landing on top.

"You call the police, Calum. You do it. But don't you worry, what Luke did to me will be an international story." I say, putting the phone in his hand and staring up at him manipulatively.

CALUM'S P.O.V
I push the phone away from me. If anyone finds out about what Luke did the band will be... Over. No more 5SOS. He will be arrested and maybe even killed by inmates in prison. I can't have that. I honestly can't.

"Fine." I manage to spit.

She wipes her eyes and stands up as I stare at her. She isn't the sweet, innocent young girl I met called Mia-Annabella. That was her secret all along. She's an identity thief... A disgusting criminal. I loved the girl I met. I loved a girl I don't even know. Who knows Mia-Annabella? She's probably from America or somewhere exotic and a fan or an old woman... Or maybe even a rich, extravagant beauty queen. Who knows? I loved that person. Not Seski Banaché. Not the identity thief.

"Goodbye Seski." I manage to murmur through a lump in my throat.

"Please, Calum! Don't go!" I hear her cry as I walk down her drive.

Is it even her house?

"PLEASE!!" I hear a final call before I slam the car door shut.

SESKI'S P.O.V
I can't believe it. My secret. My whole life is now exposed to Calum. He's left me. My world is slowly but surely crumbling around my feet...
