When We Said Forever.

Chapter 15

I hate goodbyes, and saying goodbye to Calum was possibly the worst goodbye i'd ever experienced. I fought away the tears that threatened to spill down my cheeks, in a desperate attempt to put on a brave face in front of all the boys; after all they were about to go and live their dreams, plus they would have given me hell for crying.

I had waited until their flight took off into the sky before I departed from the international terminal, leaving to find a taxi that was bound to be waiting impatiently outside. For the entire walk through the airport all i could think about was the letter that Calum had left me before joining the other boys to catch their flight. I'm not going to lie, I was anxious to read it. There were so many possibilities as to what the letter could entail, and to be honest, i was a little scared at the few of those possibilities.

I climbed into the taxi, and gave the driver directions back to my house & settled in for the journey home. Turning the letter over and over in my hands, debating whether or not to open it. Finally, after running through all the options, i decided i would wait and open it in the safety of my home. I mean, what if it was something bad? I wouldn't want to be a sobbing mess in front of a man i didn't even know. With a sigh, i dug my phone out from my pocket and plugged in my earphones, blasting my music to shorten the journey back. An hour later, i was walking through my front door & headed straight down to my room. Thankfully my parents weren't home & i had some time to myself to come to terms with whatever was in this letter. Seriously, what could be so important that he couldn't tell me at the airport?

I moved to sit on my bed, where the covers were still a mess from earlier today after racing Calum to the bathroom. 'Had that only been this morning?' I asked myself. I feels like an eternity ago that Calum and I had cuddled in bed, had a steamy make out in the shower & joked around with each other. & then it began to hit me just how much i would miss that boy being around. As soppy as it sounds, Cal is my soulmate; our parents knew it from the very beginning. The next few months without him were going to be tough. But i guess absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? I pulled out my phone and sent a quick text to Tegan and then throwing my phone back down on my bed.

KEELY: He's gone :( Now i've gotta wait like 24 hours before hearing from him. GODDAMN LONG FLIGHTS! x

And, after overthinking everything, the anticipation finally got the better of me, and i took a deep breath.

"Calum Hood, you better not be messing with me" i whispered out loud, tearing into the envelope.

In the envelope there was a photo; one Calum and I had taken together recently, just goofing off in front of the camera. I turned it over to see that he had written on the back -

You can say we'll be together someday.

Lots of Love,

Calum. xx

I smiled down at the photo, laughing at how cheesy he was to be using his own song lyrics. Grabbing a wad of blue tac off my desk, i stuck it to the four corners of the photo and attached it to the wall next to my bed, then reached back into the envelope to retrieve the smaller envelope inside, carefully tearing it open & reading what was within.

"No freakin' way!" I squealed.
