Opposites Attract (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 14.5 - Sober Thoughts

Calum's POV

The whole night consisted of Luke telling stories about London and us playing a game of truth or dare, which is really childish, but Luke forced me to join, it's ridiculous, letting me choose between joining the band or joining the game. So I joined the game.

Everybody's pretty drunk, might I add. Luke's already a whiny baby, Ashton's a little tipsy, Mali is also a little tipsy, and June, is almost wasted. She didn't even drink that much, how can she be drunk that easy?

I wasn't as drunk as them because for one, I only drank one glass, and two, I'm responsible, unlike them.

"Okay Calum, truth or dare." Ashton asked me and of course I picked truth, again.

"Oh c'mon man! You always pick truth, do a dare! You're no fun." Luke whined, and like I said, he's already a whiny baby.

I was about to say dare when June spoke, startling me. "Hah. Do you really think he will do a dare? He won't ever let anyone tell him what to do." I furrowed my eyebrows. She might really be drunk right now.

"June you're drunk." Ashton laughed at June and she quickly countered that, "No, I'm not. I haven't even finished my glass."

She was about to get her glass when Ashton beat her to it. "Ash, give me my glass." Don't. "No, you're drunk already."

She slumped on her seat. Everyone was silent for a moment then she talked again, "He called me stupid."

That got my attention. I looked up to her, finding any signs of seriousness on her face. She turned to Ashton, "Ashton, am I really stupid? He said that I'm really useless and that we're freeloaders." And then she looked at me.

Oh shit.

I'm dead.S

My eyes widened. I never really expected her to bring that up here.

"Really? Calum?" my sister asked me. Of course, now I'm the bad guy. "What? No, it's not true, she's drunk." I tried to defend myself but it's no use because June started talking again.

"Calum Hood, always looking down at people. Is he really like that? Huh!" She wasn't really talking to anyone in particular, but I guess she wasn't really looking for any answers either.

Mali slapped my arm, and then June continued, "I even tried being your friend, but all you do is humiliate me! In front of everybody." I admit, I was really a jerk. But what can I do? It's already been done. Okay, that makes me more of jerk now that I think about it.

"You think you're so great, but you're not-" Not wanting to hear anything further, I interrupted her, "I think we should go."

"No! There he goes again, as if he didn't do anything. Huh! Acting so innocent when he's the devil himself. I really hate him!" Everybody's still in shock, including me. I didn't know she thought that about me.

"I'm so sorry June, I didn't know Calum was like that. Oh my God." Mali apologized to June. Why can't I do that? I've always wanted to apologize but pride is taking over me.

"No. No, you don't need to apologize, you're really good to me, Mali, Aunt Joy, Uncle David, they're all nice to me except Calum. You! You're the only one." By this time, she pointed at me, as if taunting me. Of course, I have to defend myself.

"Is that all?" The moment I asked her that, she screamed, "I hate you!"

"You hate me? You do? Really?" I smirked at her. She couldn't hate me. She likes me too much. Now I'm conceited, damn.

"Yes, I do. I really really hate you." She answered and I know that what I'm going to say next will be out of line, but I don't care. I wouldn't let myself be humiliated.

"That's not what you said in the letter," Bingo. I heard Luke say something but I was too focused on June to care. That must've ticked her off by the expression on her face.

She wasn't saying anything so I continued, "You are the reason I wake up in the morning. And although you're not aware of my existence, you're the only one I see." Her eyes widened a lot more and she was speechless.

"I can only watch you from afar. You're so popular, yet I'm just a nobody. I may not be Cinderella but you are still my prince." But before I could continue reciting her letter, she threw a pillow at me. Ouch.

"Stop! That's enough. You're so mean. I hate you." She threw pillows at me for every statement she made until she fell down. Shit.

I was startled by my sister slapping my arm again. "Calum! That wasn't very nice of you! Why would you do that to her?!" And of course I have to defend myself, again, "She's annoying the hell out of me." Which is true.

"Bring her home." Mali demanded, "What? Why me? I didn't bring my car."

"Because you live together." She made a 'duh' face as if she's stating the obvious. "Wait, you aren't going home?"

"No, I have a hotel room about 5 miles from here." I groaned. Do I really have to carry her home? Why the fuck didn't I bring my car in the first place?

I didn't have a choice so put June on my back because I'm sure as hell I wouldn't carry her like a bride. My arms would be sore.

"Hey, you take care of June, okay? I don't trust you with her, just saying." Ashton spoke up and I just looked at him too tired to even argue anymore, "We're going."

--

3 miles from home. Only 3 miles. Ugh why hasn't she woke up yet?

I was about to give up when I felt shuffling behind me. "You're awake." She must have been startled that she almost fell off my back. Good thing she caught on my shoulders fast. "What the fuck? You'll both make us fall."

I hope.

"Uh-I'm sorry." I continued walking, just wanted to get home fast because my back is sore as hell, but I guess I need to have a little more fun.

"Aren't you worried?" I can feel her looking at me confused and I smirked to myself. "Worried about what?" She asked.

"You know, about your future child. Your child will be starved to death because he can't get any from you." Ugh. How can she still not get it? "God, this feels like carrying a guy, although lighter."

I guess with that, she already got it because I heard her gasp. She hit me in the back and I laughed out loud. It's true though, she doesn't have any boobs, but I don't care. I'm not really much a boobs guy anyway.

I really don't have a preference.

I'm pretty sure she already forgot about all of what she said earlier, and I like to keep it that way.

"You're really mean." I didn't reply after that but I felt her closer to me. She held onto me as if her life depended on it.

This is really nice. I don't know why, but I actually just want to stay like this.
