Wake up

25|| Wake up

~Calum~

"Calum," a distant voice said, "wake up."

Someone was shaking me gently, but after a while of me ignoring it, it had finally stopped.

I'm on the edge of falling asleep again when I hear deafening sounds of music blasting in my ears.

I jerk awake, my eyes fully open, as I snatched the headphones off my head and threw the dangerous thing away from me.

After my heart beat had eventually slowed down I glared up at Stephanie.

"What the fuck?!" I shout, only for her to put her hand over my mouth with a finger to her lips.

"It's 5 in the morning," she whispers.

I groan when she removes her hand from my mouth, flopping back onto the mattress I had been sleeping on.

"Why are you waking me up this early?" I mumble, my voice muffled because of the pillows.

"Okay then," she whispers gently, hurt evident in her voice. "Go back to sleep."

So I did just that.

•••

"Wake up," someone said urgently, violently shaking me.

I groan in frustration, peeling my eyes open and letting them adjust to the light.

My eyes land on Luke who was looking at me like I was some kind of idiot.

What have I done now?

I let out another groan; god knows how early it is and I've already groaned many times.

"Why do people keep waking me up?"

"You're so stupid," Luke mutters before he rips the blankets away from me and pushes me out of the mattress.

Thank god I wasn't on an actual bed because that would've hurt.

"Why am I stupid today?" I exclaim, not making a move to stand up.

Luke shakes his head at me. "We agreed to go to Steph's footy tournament with her."

Then it all clicked together.

That's why she woke me up and sounded hurt when I didn't remember that she had a tournament.

No one close to her had seen her play football before and I just forgot about it.

Damn, I'm an idiot.

"Shit," I say to myself before jumping onto my two feet and raced to get ready.

"You've got 10 minutes," I hear Luke whisper-shout from the other side of the bathroom door.

7 minutes has passed and I ran down the stairs, breathless.

Everyone's attention turned to me as I stumbled into the room.

"I made it," I cheer myself, collapsing onto the sofa.

"Cal, Steph's already left," Michael says seriously.

I bolted into a sitting position, looking directly at Michael.

"What do you mean she's already left?!" I shout.
