(Next update on Wednesday.! )

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain

I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones

It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone gone tonight

The ground beneath my feet is open wide

The way that I been holdin' on too tight

With nothing in between

The story of my life I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm and time...

Is frozen the story of, the story of

The story of my life I give her hope

I spend her love until she's broke inside

The story of my life the story of, the story of

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change

Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

And I'll be gone gone tonight

The fire beneath my feet is burning bright

The way that I been holdin' on so tight

With nothing in between

The story of my life I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm and time...

Is frozen the story of, the story of

The story of my life I give her hope

I spend her love until she's broke inside

The story of my life the story of, the story of

And I been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you is life chasing the clouds

The story of my life I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm and time...

Is frozen

The story of my life I give her hope give her hope

I spend her love until she's broke inside until she's broke inside

The story of my life the story of, the story of

The story of my life

The story of my life the story of, the story of

The story of my life

Elena's POV

When I wake up there are still no calls or texts from Calum so I decide to call him.

He answers on the third ring, "Hello." He says in a rushed tone.

"Hey. I haven't heard from you in a while... how's the tour?" I ask him.

He clears his throat, "Uh, yeah.. I've been.. really busy lately, and there's a rehearsal I'm late too so I'll call you later on." He tells me. Oh.

"Oh, okay.. I'll talk to you later then. I love you." I say.

"Alright." He hangs up.

He didn't say it back to me.. what is up with him? He sounded weird on the phone, like really weird. I know something is up. I'm not going to call him out on it and cause problems because I'm almost positive he'll say he's fine and nothing is wrong.

"I haven't spoken to him since this morning, something's wrong and he isn't telling me anything. It's frustrating." I rant to my best friend over the phone.

"Sounds like you've had a rough day." He says.

"You have no idea," I sigh, plopping down onto the couch.

"Well I miss you." He says quietly.

"I miss you too, Zayn." I tell him.

I heard a knock on the door, "Hold on, someone's at the door." He didn't say anything in respond, I put my phone between my shoulder and my ear.

When I open the door, my jaw drops in excitement.

"Zayn!" My phone drops to the floor, I wrap my arms around his neck hugging him tightly.

I hear the little pitter patter of feet rushing towards us, "Zayn!" Elizabeth's small voice yells from behind me. I step aside and she jumps into his arms, both of them smiling widely.

"What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming!" I hit his shoulder playfully.

"I wanted to surprise you, the both of you," he smiles towards Elizabeth and I.

"Now we can go trick or treating together!" Elizabeth cheers.

"Yep." Zayn smiles at her.

I pick up Elizabeth and carry her into the kitchen, "Well you're just in time for dinner."

"Oh, I-" I begins, pointing to the door just then it opens and four other guys appear.

"Smells good in here." Niall compliments sitting down at the kitchen table, rubbing his hands together.

"So what's for supper, Lanie?" Harry smirks as he walks up to me, hugging me. God I hate that nickname. Zayn stands silent.

"Sorry for just barging in," Liam tells me as he scolds the rest of the guys.

"It's fine, really. It was getting lonely with just Elizabeth and I here." I chuckle.

Louis walks up to me and hugs he warmly, "Missed you, Ellie." Louis smiles down at me.

Zayn comes and stands besides me. "So what's going on with you and Calum?"

"Nothing.. just haven't talked with him in a while, that's all." I shrug. I don't want to tell him all our problems without me even knowing if there was a problem at all.

"Yeah, Ash said the tour was going great. They met Alex." Niall smirks at the rest of the guys.

"Feisty one wasn't she." Harry chuckles, a smirk plastered on his face.

"She was different.. hot though." Liam laughs.

"Who's Alex?" I ask them.

"She and her band are signed onto the same label as them, she's the very punk rocky type. She's cool, really fun to hang out with." Niall tells me.

"Should I.. be worried?" I ask. Is this why Calum hasn't been talking to me? He's to preoccupied with this Alex girl?

"No, no. She wouldn't try and snatch Calum, if anyone she would go for Michael." Louis chuckles.

"Oh." Is all I can say. Should I be relieved? I don't know why Calum is acting this way..

I shouldn't be so paranoid, he's probably just busy because of the whole touring, rehearsal things.

"Don't worry. everything's fine." Zayn whispers to me.

I smile at him appreciatively.

Calum's POV

What am I doing? I can't keep ignoring Elena forever. Should I even tell her about last night? I don't want her to be upset..

"Hey, Calum." I hear Alex's voice say from behind me, I jump in fear.

"Oh, I-I didn't know you were.. I uhm, gotta go." I stutter.

She grabs my arm before I can go.

Oh, no...
