Chapter 15: Without Him

Alex's pov

After Mel and I returned to my house we went up stairs and I couldn't stop thinking about what I was going to do.

I went into the bathroom to clean the little cut on my eyebrow that I must've gotten when I hit my head off the hand I had on the steering wheel.

I decided to just let it air out and I'd look at it again later since it was nothing big.

I headed back into my bedroom to find Mel sitting in my bean bag chair.

"I can't believe she did that.." Mel said just as scared and confused as I was.

"Like why is she so hung up on Calum? They must've had a past relationship she's still not over" Mel suggested.

"I don't know Calum said clearly that they'd never be a thing and that he never felt that way towards her.. But I don't know.." I sighed flopping onto my bed.

My phone buzzed and I reached into my pocket to see it was the one person I couldn't talk to.

Calum..

"Is it Calum?" Mel asked almost like she could read my face. 

"Ya.. I don't know what to do"

I honestly just wanted to cry.

"Alex you aren't gonna let this bitch keep you away from Calum are you?" She rose an eyebrow at me.

"I mean what else am I gonna do.. It's like she knows where he is at every minute of the day and if whenever I hang with him she seems to find out.." I buried my face into my pillow not caring if I got my eyebrow blood on my pillow.

Mel got up and sat beside me on the bed as she rubbed my back.

"I just don't want you to get hurt.. We almost fuxking died cuz of that bitch and she said that next time would be worst." Mel explained.

"I don't need to loose you Alex.. I know you and Calum have gotten close, but I can't take the chance of you getting hurt because of your friendship.. I think you should avoid him for a bit. I know it'll suck, but we have to do it" she went on.

I rolled over to look at her.

"I think you're right.. At least until I can find out a way to stop this madness between her and I"

That night I couldn't sleep at all..

I just couldn't take the thought of staying away from Calum.

I know we have only each other for a couple weeks, but he and I have gotten really close over those few weeks and I couldn't imagine staying away from him.

If anything Calum was my best friend.

I don't know if I could go through will staying away from him, but to keep us both safe I had too.

I finally managed to fall asleep around 4 in the morning.

Short update but I had to do it this way so...

Much love xx
