Chapter 49

"Calum." I said.

I walked over to him, causing him to turn his attention to me. 

"I broke you didn't I." Calum said. 

"Calum!" I said, opening my arms. He fell into them, wrapping his arms around me. 

"You did not break me. " I assured him. 

"But...your anger attack." 

"Calum that was not you. It was me. Okay? I promise it won't happen again. I was just stressed and worried okay?"

"But I made you worried." 

"Cal." I said gently. "Don't worry. Get on with the set okay?" He shook his head, still hugging me.

"Calum, you can't just ditch the set. There are hundreds of fans here." 

"Why can't I?"

"You're fans, Cal. Do it for them." I said, kissing his cheek. 

"I'm right here." I added, sitting down next to his microphone stand. He grabbed his microphone and sat down next to me. 

"You need a microphone stand." I said giggling. He grabbed the stand and put it on the ground. the microphone reaching the perfect height. He tangled our legs together, and I wrapped an arm around his shoulders as they continued the set, Calum occasionally making me sing instead of him. Calum pulled me out there for the encore as well, and I rolled my eyes at his sudden clinginess. He made me sit on his lap as he sang, since Michael was the only one with a guitar. After the show was over, Calum simply pulled me over to the couch in the backroom and snuggled me. We were headed to San Diego, leaving the house a mess for the cleaners. I'd have to leave a message on the home phone saying sorry and promising to pay them extra. The cleaners always checked the phone when they got there, since we asked them to. Just then, Ember came through the door, Brianna following. 

"Oh. He's asleep." Ember said sadly. 

"Yeah." I said monotonously, letting my thumb trace circles on the skin underneath his shirt.

"I uh..wanted to apologize." 

"Well, come with us to San Diego and be able to do it face to face and when he wakes up, or do it over call. I'd prefer you'd apologize to him face to face." 

"I'll..........I'll do it face to face." She said finally. I nodded, approving her decision.

"If I'm not stuck here for the night, I'll probably be sleeping in Luke's bunk, so you can take my bunk for the night." I elaborated. She nodded, and wandered off.

"I don't know how Cal will react to her sudden appearance." I whispered to Brianna. 

"Do you think he'll be mad?"

"Yeah, definitely. I mean, it's only been two days. And I could tell she wanted to get back together. And while I'm sure Calum would love to, I don't know if their relationship would ever be the same." 

"Are you saying you don't know if they should get back together?" Brianna clarified.

"No! I'm just saying Calum will probably hold back in the relationship a lot more now."

"You don't know if he'll ever fully confide in her. Like you and Luke. Or you and him." 

"Yeah. They were almost at that point, you know? Where Calum could go to her and talk about anything." 

"And now you don't know if they'll ever actually reach that point." I nodded, just as Calum started to mutter in his sleep. Brianna promptly left, and I shook Calum awake.
