Blue's pov

"I don't want to go back right now. Or ever for that matter," I say, leaning my head against Calum's shoulder.

"I don't know how well that's going to work. Luke just texted us. He's freaking out since he doesn't know where you are," Calum tells me, looking at his phone screen.

"He probably just snapped out of shock," I explain.

Cal nods, "What do you want me to tell him?" I shrug, unsure. I didn't really want to leave right now, but at the same time I didn't want Luke to be freaking out, worrying about where I was.

"I'll tell him that you stopped by here and that you're okay," he decides. I nod in approval and watch as he types the text message. Luke texts back almost right after Calum sent the message. Cal ignores his new text.

"Are you going back tonight?" He questions, putting his phone away.

I shrug, "I guess I have to. I don't have anywhere else to stay. Although, I could go find a park bench or something."

"Are you being serious right now? You can spend the night over here and then meet up with Luke again tomorrow over at Michael's house," he reasons.

I hesitate, "But this is your family time."

"It's also your family time, Blue," he points out, nodding towards the direction of the Hemmings household.

I snort, "I don't have a family. Besides you four, that is."

"Blue-" Calum starts.

"Don't you 'Blue' me. I was left on the doorstep of an orphanage in America. Without even a note with my name on it. If I really am this Dylan girl, then why shouldn't I feel maybe a little resentment?" I ask, angry and upset. Calum sighs and pulls me into a hug. I sigh as he kisses my forehead.

"Let's go inside. Mali has been really wanting to meet you," he tells me. I give him a puzzled look as he helps me up to my feet.

"My older sister," he elaborates. I nod, feeling shy ad he grabs my hand and leads me inside.

"Oh my gosh! You're even cuter in person!" Mali exclaims, hugging me tightly. Calum watches us, an amused smirk on his lips as his sister hugs the life out of me.

"It's so nice to meet you, Blue. I thought Calum said you were staying with the Hemmings though," his mum says, confused about why I was here.

"There was a little issue, mum," Calum cuts in, "it's nothing big, but I was wondering if she could spend the night here."

"Of course she can. But she's staying in Mali's room," she replies.

"But mum," he whines, "why?"

"I saw you two out there. She can stay with Mali," she repeats. Calum gives in while Mali and I giggle at their conversation.
