Chapter 19: Should've Known

Calum's pov

I stood there as I watched Alex's face drop when she realized everyone was watching us.

"I'm sorry" she whispered as her voice broke.

I could tell she was going to cry.

Before I could say anything she turned around and began running towards the front of the school.

I was about to go after her until Whitney, Libby and Tiffany stopped me.

As Whitney stood in front of me and Libby pulled on my arm.

"Trust me it's best if you leave her alone" Libby explained.

"Libby's right" Whitney nodded in agreement.

"Ya.. Maybe you're right" I sighed as I turned around and walked away and went to my next class.

Alex's pov

After driving for about 20 minutes I decided I should probably head home.

I just wanted to play guitar and clear my head.

So that's what I did.

I entered my room and shut the door behind me, picking up my guitar off its stand and making my way over to my bed.

I didn't even know what I was feeling at the moment, but as soon as I placed the guitar on my lap and began strumming..

It's almost like every worry slide off my fingers with each chord I played.

After I calmed myself down, I set my guitar down beside me on my bed and flopped on my back.

I looked up at the ceiling and just laid there.

And for some reason I felt myself thinking about Calum.

God I was such a betch to him..

It wasn't his fault Whitney was crazy, but I made it seem like it.

I needed to talk to him..

I reached for my phone to see what time it was.

Only 3:45

I set my phone down and decided to wait till he got home because i didn't want to call him while he was driving.

               ~~~~~~~~~

After about an hour or so I felt the urge to finally call him and tell him everything.

Even if I knew it would be probably bring trouble.

I dialed his number and pressed the phone to my ear as I listened.

He finally picked up after a few seconds.

I could hear someone in the background..

"Hello?" He asked, his voice echoing through the phone.

"Why is she calling?" I heard a faint voice say in the background.

"Alex?" Calum questioned.

I kept quiet as I heard the voice in the background tell him to hang up.

And that's when I realized who was with him...

Before he could say anymore I pressed end and threw my phone on my bed.

God what was I thinking..

I shouldn't have called him.

I should've know he was with Libby..

Why is Libby with Calum?? Will Alex tell him what happened?

Much love xx
