Calum's p.o.v.
New York City is so beautiful in the winter. The snow making Times Square breath taking.
The boys and I have decided to take a little break from all the touring and decided why not come see the big beautiful city.
I am currently walking around wearing my black hoodie and my black skinny jeans with my ray bans. I look like I'm going to rob a bank.
I love my fans but sometimes I just need a break and just want to explore with some peace. A group of girls were walking in my direction when my hood fell off from the wind. They all just stopped and stared.
"It's Calum Hood." The blonde screamed. "Fuck." I murmured and ran. I turned around and they were still following me. I should've listened to Luke when he told me not to go alone.
I saw the subway stairs and ran faster so they wouldn't see me but also trying to blend in with the crowd going down. I pulled my hood back up and ran down the stairs faster than I've ever ran.
Once down I made sure none of them were coming down. I paid for my ticket to wherever was closest to the hotel. Great an express now we're gonna make tons of stops.
I made my way through the turnstile. While waiting for the subway to come I watched all the talented people playing music trying to get some money. One guy who was singing and playing his guitar sounded amazing. I walked over to him and put some money in his guitar case. He smiled at me.
I went back to my spot and continued to listen to him. I didn't realize the subway was here until the people started pushing me in. I took a seat which was close to the door and the seat next to me no one sat in thank god.
The doors were about to close as I started texting Mikey I'm on a subway coming back to the hotel when I heard a voice.
"Is this seat taken?" The broken voice asked making me look up from my phone.
"No." I said looking up at her teary eyes that were looking out the window.
She didn't say a word to me she sat down and kept her headphones in and her eyes closed. How is she listening to music and closing her eyes I would fall asleep and miss my stop. But I don't even know where I'm going she probably takes this often. She was very beautiful I couldn't help but observe her.
"I'm Thomas." I said sticking my hand out but not wanting her to know who I really was. All she did was stare at me. "What's the point of telling me your name if we're most likely never going to see each other again?" She asked looking at me with her sad brown eyes. I just stared in her eyes they are so beautiful.
"Are you okay?" I asked ignoring her question. "Does it look like I'm okay?" She asked her voice cracking. "You see Thomas I'm a broken person. I'm like a broken record stuck on repeat living this fucked up life. I'm a mess. Inside and out. When I finally get something good it just gets taken away. Bad people don't get good things." She whispered the end. A couple of tears running down her face.
"You shouldn't let life get to you. Instead of living your fucked up life as you call it you should go and travel and find something you love instead of being miserable." I told her staring at her. She turned her head and looked at me letting me see those beautiful brown eyes again. She smiled. And God her smile was the greatest thing I've ever seen.
"I wish I had your views on life." She said turning her music up. I reached in my pocket to grab my headphones which weren't there. Fuck. She must have noticed cause she offered me one of hers. I put the headphone in and I'm A Mess by Ed Sheeran started playing.
"Love really fucks you up Thomas." She spoke again. "I think it was love." She said to herself. "Do you know what it's like seeing someone you would've given the world too give it to someone else?" She asked me.
"I never been in love." I told her frowning wanting to give my all to someone. She stared at me again. "You're smart. Love is a blessing and a curse. It can either make you feel like you're on top of the world or make you feel like you're dying. It fucks your head up and makes you feel like you're crazy. It hurts you so bad. It makes you want to do things that you never want to do. It can cause you to lose everything. It takes over your body. It's not just you you're thinking about it's them they are constantly on your mind. Think of holding your world in your hands. Everything most important to you in that world and imagine you're walking on a rope over just say the Grand Canyon. If you fall then your world falls with you. But if your world falls and you stay up what's the point of going on walking the rope when the only reason to stay up was your world but you dropped it. Love is both good and bad. It depends on the hands it falls in. I suggest you to never fall in love Calum Hood." She said getting up and once at the door waiting for it to open she turned around and smiled.
"How'd you know?" I asked her. "I'm not dumb Calum. I know who you are my friend is in love with you guys. He's a big fan." She said laughing. I thought her smile was beautiful but her laugh sounded like an angel.
"Will I see you again?" I asked the broken girl. "Maybe soon." She said smiling again. "What's your name?" I asked the mystery girl. "Carter." With that she left.
That girl is so interesting I need to see her again. Her name suits her. God she's beautiful her long brown hair, her eyes a brown I can't describe, the way the white around her eyes look a little blue, her tan skin and her white teeth. I've never seen someone so beautiful. How can someone so beautiful have such a bad outlook on the world. How can the world treat her so her? I thought.
I am going to fix this broken girl. I will take subway 256 until I know everything about this beautiful girl. I am going to show her life is so much more than what she thinks it is. I'm going to show this girl happiness.
