Promises. CTH

"Forget what I said,"

The night went on with fights, sex in corners, screaming, laughing and etc. Calum came out to the patio 20 minutes after I came out, guilt filled me up when I know I cheated on Kenny and that it felt so good to have Calum's lips against mine.

He had one hand in one pocket and the other held a cold bottle. He stood by me, talking low enough for everyone to hear that him and Andrea are officially over when Chelsea yelled at him, asking him where the hell he was. For the whole time, I thought Calum was gonna speak up bout us kissing but no, he did more.

He stared at me as much as he can without getting caught completely by my boyfriend nor his sister. He gulped his beer little by little. I took a glanced at him, seeing his Adam's apple bobble up and down when he swallows. He gave me a very small smile, his lips barely moved.

It was one of the longest nights ever. Most awkward and intense night between Calum and I.

I knew he wanted to talk to me about it but hell, I wanted to avoid it. The kiss and my small feelings towards him.

"Earth Dylan!" Chelsea screams as I just stare at my carpet floor.

"Hm?" I hummed, waiting for her to continue talking.

"Jesus, you've been so quiet and so out of it for the past 12 hours!" She complains, spinning in the chair with a small bouncy ball I had since we were little.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just have a lot on my mind." I sigh, rubbing my face with my hands.

"Why?" She asks as she jumps on my bed with my food.

I haven't touched my Chinese food since it arrived. I was too distracted.

"Just... stuff." I shrugged, playing with my noddles with sticks.

"What kind of stuff?" She asks. "Kenny stuff?"

I hummed again, shaking my head side to side as I try to think an excuse. "Most likely. Just help me forget about my problems." I whined, tugging on her arm.

"Eat your food first then we'll go to that new roller skating place with the guys."

"How about just us?" I asked a way bit too quickly.

"Then that's just boring." She says, texting away in her phone.

I slouched in my bed, picking on the noodles.

"Michael is getting laid again. Luke is at a damn family reunion and Ashton is being forced to stay home." Chelsea calls out as I walk around my room with stuffing noodles in my mouth.

"So let's go just us 2."

"Calum is meeting us there." She says as she pushes her feet in her shoes.

"Oh is he?" I asked nervously, shoving more noodles in my mouth.

"Yeah? Why are you suddenly questioning about this?" She laughs. "Did something happen between you and my brother or something?"

"No. No, I'm just tired and I feel like you and I never have our own time."

Chelsea nervously chuckles. "It's always you and I, D."

"Forget what I said." I shrugged, putting my food down.

Chelsea grabs her keys, telling me that she'll wait in the car. I wonder what took over me but I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to figure out my choice of clothing.

I liked what I'm wearing but does Calum like it?

Oh geez, Dylan stop it! You're dating Kenny and that's all. Kenny is who you like, Kenny is who you're with.
