Beside You || lrh 2013 MAJOR EDITING

Making Effort (Chapter 15)

•Trisha's POV•

Yesterday with Calum was one of the best days ever. We just spent the whole day in my house and talked about other things.

For some reason, it's morning and I'm already crying. Maybe because I know that they're leaving tomorrow. I sighed and wiped my tears with my sleeve.

"Gahhhhh...." I said to myself and screamed into my pillow. I never thought it'd be this hard to let go.

I heard a knock on my door so I immediately stopped my crying and opened the door.

I was still wiping my tears with my sleeve when the person out of my door hugged me. I looked up and saw Calum.

"I'm so sorry," he said.

I looked up and saw his face. He was obviously sad.

"Why're you sorry?" I asked.

"Because I'm leaving you," he said. The tears fell down as he said it. Dammit Trisha. What are you doing? You knew this will come. You're such a wimp.

"You're not supposed to be sorry," I said as we walked to my bed. He sat me down on his lap, not letting me go. I was still crying.

"We'll be home in a matter of time, don't worry," he said, trying hard to smile at me.

I forced a smile. I'm good at it, anyways.

"I have a surprise you tonight," he said.

"Really? What is it?"

He pinched my cheek and kissed my nose. "I said it's a surprise." And with that, he winked.

He went out and I just sat there. Wait a minute, I was too caught up with the things that's happening, I wasn't even shocked that he was here. Why is he here anyway?

I got up and went out of my room. Downstairs, I see Calum playing video games with my younger brother, Jeff. I smiled and walked down.

"Oh, Trish," said my mom as I walked in the kitchen. "Did Calum wake you up?"

"Nah, I was already awake," I said, sitting on the dining and ate my cereal.

I looked back at Calum and Jeff. They were laughing like lunatics on the couch.

Damn. This boy's making me miss him a lot more than I planned. Why don't I just go with them? Oh fuck. No. The management.

I sighed as I poked my spoon on the empty bowl of cereal.

"There's nothing left," my mom said picking up the bowl. "Why don't you just hang out with your boyfriend and your brother?"

I just nodded and got up and went into the living room.

"Hey, babe," Calum greeted.

"Did she drool?" Jeff interrupted.

"Get in your room, small fry," I said, beating him with a pillow. He actually did as I told him. I love that little guy so much.

"I know that face you know," Calum said, facing my head to him. "You can't hide anything from me."

"I'm just sappy at the moment," I said.

He looked confused.

I laughed. "Sappy's sad and happy at the same time, you monkey."

He mouthed the word 'oh' when I told him. "Why are you sad?" he asked.

I frowned. Calum's playing games again. "Duh," I said. "You're leaving tomorrow. You're leaving me tomorrow."

"Don't think about it. I'm still here, see?" he said, standing up and touching parts of his body.
