One Less Lonely Girl

Chapter 1.

7.30 pm

Calum's POV
Great, now Annie's mad at me. I'm not even the person who started all this. How is it my fault?

"Look Annie, I love you. It's not that I don't believe you. Its just, knowing that you still have a tiny bit of feelings for Brennan, just.. kills me" I texted.

"I don't Calum" she replied. "You know what. I'm not in the mood for this" she added.

"Wait I'm sorry Ann" I texted back immediately. "Just forget it. Look I have to go" she texted.

"Go?" I asked. "Yes, I have to go" she replied. I tried to apologize and all that but she didn't replied back. She just ignored me. She gave me the silent treatment.

What have I done, I thought to myself. I just took the most precious girl in the universe and broke her heart. Why am I so in denial? If she says that nothing happened, then I have to trust her. She is my girlfriend after all.

I'm gonna win her back. Mark my words. I'm gonna make her feel like she's the only girl in the world. She deserves it.

But how? I asked myself. What would make a girl feel special? Then it hit me. I need to look at it from a girls perspective. How about I call Katie. She will definitely know what to do. She is a girl after all.

Katie's POV
It was a pretty normal night. Mom, dad and Ryan went out to the grocery to get some food supplies and all that. They left Brennan in charge which meant that he gets to control the tv. Which is really annoying.

"Brennan could you stop changing the channels. Just watch one. Gosh" I yelled at him.

"I'm trying to Katie. Cant you see. I'm trying to find the best one" he snapped back.

Well this is what you have to deal with when you have siblings I guess. It sucks though.

I checked my phone while Brennan was still 'trying' to find the best channel. There was nothing special going on. Just the usual likes and comments on my posts.

Then suddenly out of nowhere. My phone buzzed. It was a text. From Calum.

I don't know why but my hands started to sweat and my feets were getting cold. I was so nervous. What is going on? I asked myself.

Why do I torture myself like this. I'm in love with Caleb. I can't still be inlove with another guy. Its.. it's wrong.

I clicked on it. "Hey Katie. I'm in some kind of problem. Would you do me a favour?" Calum texted.

Without any hesitations, I quickly texted back "Yeah sure. Anything Calum. What is it?"

"Well. Annie and I sort of gotten in a fight" he texted back. "What do you think I should do?" he added.

I stared at that text for a while. This is my chance, I thought to myself.

I typed "Maybe it's destiny. Maybe you and Annie are not meant for each other". If I send this, there's gonna be two possiblities. Either he agrees. Or he would hate me forever.

But then I deleted it. And typed a new text. "I think you should try and win her back. You see, funny thing about girls is that when we get mad over little things. Its actually a cry for help. We want boys to make us feel special" and sent.

Its the right thing to do, I sighed.

"Make them feel special?" he texted. "Maybe I know how. I've got this one plan" he added.

"Plan? Thats great. Can I hear it?" I asked.

"Of course! I'm gonna sing a song to her. Live! What do you think?" he texted back.

I have to admit I got a bit jealous reading that text. "That sounds wonderful. What song are you gonna sing?" I texted.

"Well I've been writing this one song. Its nothing amazing or anything but I think it's gonna be special because I wrote it, you know" he texted back.

Wow. He wrote a song. For Annie. "You wrote a song for Annie? Thats amazing. You must really really love her" I replied.

"Yeah I know right? I've never had any desires to write a song for anyone but, Annie is different. She's my soul mate. I just know it" he texted back.

"The new season of Flash? This is gonna be so good!" Brennan excitedly said. I just ignored it though.

"One question Cal" I texted. "When are you gonna do this?" I added.

"I'm thinking tonight. What do you think?" he asked.

"Tonight? Its a bit risky but I'm sure you know what you're doing" I texted back.

"So do you think it's gonna work?" he asked.

I took my time before answering that question. I looked around the room. And finally, stared at Brennan. If only you didn't break Annie's heart, I whispered to myself.

"Yeah, I can't think of a way that it wouldnt work" I answered.

"Great. Thanks Katie. Well I gotta go and get ready for the plan. Ill text you later okay?" he texted.

"Good luck Calum. Tell me all about it when you get back" I texted back.

And that was it. Sometimes. You just gotta let go. Maybe this is for the best. He's gonna be happy with Annie and I'm gonna be happy with Caleb. Thats how it is.

I stared at the wall. Thinking about what would've happened if Brennan didn't cheat on Annie. Would they still be a couple to this day? Or would they eventually ended anyway? They were absolutely perfect for each other. And I'm not saying this because I may or may not have feelings for Calum but it's the truth.

Coincidently, the tv had just gone to a commercial. And so, I asked my brother. "Brennan. Can I ask you a question?"

He looked back at me and raised his eyebrows. "Sure" he stuttered.

"What made you cheat on Annie? Didn't you think that it was not the right thing to do?" I asked.

"Woah Katie. What's up with these questions? You know I'm trying to forget about it right?" he said.

"Could you please just answer it" I urged him.

"Umm. Fine. You see, I have never stopped loving Annie. It hurts when I see him around with some other guy" he said.

"Still doesn't answer the question. Why did you cheat on her?" I asked again.

"It actually does. I admit that it was a mistake, kissing Liv. But we're human. We will always make mistakes. I tried everything I could to win Annie back but, she just ignored me" he said.

I could see that he was holding back some tears. And his voice started to sound different. "But you didn't try hard enough. I know that deep down, Annie still have feelings for you too. I'm sure of it" I said to him.

"I don't know Katie. I'm sort of in a relationship with Liv right now, you know" he said back.

I quickly realized that, what I was doing was wrong and I shouldn't interfere with anyone's relationship.

The conversation started to feel a bit strange. And so I ended it by saying "Yeah, you're right. You should be with Liv. After all, she makes you happy right? Thats what matters most"

He just smirked back at me. He wiped the tears and watched the tv back.
