Forced Score ~ A Calum Hood Story

Chapter 1

Laylas POV

        We had all made it down to the family room and were all sitting on the couches. “So…. My friend from work is coming for dinner tomorrow night, and I want all of you to be on your best behavior. I want you to all dress ni-“ We all groaned in response. Let me tell you one thing about the Moore family. We HATE dressing up. “I wasn’t finished!” she protested “Now what I was gonna say is that I'm going to pick out your outfits. I know if I let you do it, it won't be right, because we need to look nice."

        “Fine but why do we have to get all dressed up. She’s just a friend, she shouldn’t judge us.” I commented.

        “She’s not the only one coming. She is bringing her husband, son and his 3 friends along as well.” We sighed in agreeance to her rules. “Now that that is settled, I baked cookies and they are on th-“ She couldn’t even finish her sentence before there was a stampede to the kitchen. In a matter of minutes all the cookies were gone except for a few that we saved for Charlie.

        “Um….. Mom? I have football practice tomorrow, and I don’t think I’m gonna be home till like 6:30.” I suddenly spoke concerned.

        “I already thought of that. I called your coach and told him the circumstances, and he said that you could miss tomorrows practice as long as you promise to be at the game on Saturday.” She gave the look as to say ‘I’ve got everything covered.’ “You guys need to go to bed.” She told us suddenly becoming aware of the time. “You have school tomorrow. So everyone upstairs to your rooms and go to bed please?” We all went down the hallway that goes to our bedroom. Charlie and Justin turning right into their room, while Katie and I turn left into ours. She rushes around getting all the stuff for her shower, unlike me who showers in the morning. I go to my drawers grabbing the first pair of pajamas that I see. I throw them on going to my mirror and using an alcohol wipe to get the rest of my make-up off, and climb into bed. Just relaxing for a few minutes waiting for Katie to come back in. I check my texts and see a good night text from Lydia. She is so sweet. Katie comes in a towel wrapped around her small bust, scowling at me. “What happened to you? “I asked trying not to laugh. She has the most pissed off look on her face.

        “Oh you know the usual. Justin turned off the hot water heater 5 minutes into my shower so I got to enjoy an ice cold shower.”

        “Maybe you should just follow my advice and start taking morning showers. I rarely get the hot water heater turned off because we aren’t fighting for the bathroom!” I suggest for the millionth time. She just sighs and slips on her pajamas. She flicks the light switch off and hops into bed.

        “Goodnight Layla bug!”

        “Goodnight Katie gator!”

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

        I groan, just another 10 minutes. I hit the snooze button for the third this morning, silencing it again. I fall back into a seamless sleep till it is again interrupted by the annoying beeping of my alarm clock. I roll over, turning it off and crawling out of bed. I grab a pair of athletic shorts and a random shirt taking them with me to the bathroom. I place the clothes on the counter, and grab 2 towels from under the sink. I set them on the ground and swiftly get undressed. I jumped into the shower and wait for the water to warm up. I grab my strawberry scented shampoo and massage it into my hair. I wash it out doing the same with my conditioner. I turn off the water hopping out of the shower. I wrap one towel around my head and the other around my body. I dry myself slipping on my underwear and shorts, then put my shirt on being careful not to knock the towel off. I grab all the dirty clothes from the laundry, and open the door going back to Katie and I's room. I throw all the clothes into the hamper, before taking my hair from the towel and putting the towel in the hamper too. I grab the brush from our dresser thoroughly brushing it and fixing my part before returning it. I look at the clock and see its 7:00, time to start the daunting task of waking Katie.

        I go over to the bed and shake her a little bit, whispering "Katie it's time to get up." Nothing.

        "Katie you need to get up if you don't want to be late." I say in my normal voice. She moans under her blanket but doesn't move.

I move out of the way before using my final attempt, "don't make me get Ju-" I didn't finish before she jumped out of bed and to our small closet. She stood there for a minute before picking out her outfit, and moved to the bathroom to do her hair. I go to the closet picking out a casual outfit. There's no reason to dress up for school. I go to my dresser and grab a white bra, slipping it on before my outfit. I grab my makeup that I keep in the drawer with my bra and underwear and go to the mirror that's behind our door. I apply a line of eye liner on my eyes, fixing a spot before coating my eyelashes in mascara making sure to not make them too big. I add a little bit of foundation, and a thin layer of gold eyeshadow before zipping up my bag and putting it away so no one can find it. I grab my phone from the charger at the side of my bed before going down to the kitchen. I grab a bagel from the pantry and smother it in cream cheese before I sat at the counter waiting for everyone else to come down. I scroll through Twitter retweeting a few things before Charlie ran down the stairs.

        "Hey char. Good Morning"

        "Good Morning."

        "Do you want something to eat?" I asked already knowing the answer.

        "Yes please. Can I have some frosted flakes?"

        I smiled, "of course you can. Sit down and I'll get them for you." I went to the pantry grabbing the box of frosted flakes before grabbing a bowl from the cupboard. I poured the frosted flakes in and added some milk, grabbing a spoon and handed it to Charlie. He muttered a quiet thank you before digging into his cereal. I chuckled hearing Justin yelling at Katie to hurry up. She sighed walking down the stairs and fixing herself a bowl of cereal. I finished my bagel, scooping the crumbs into my hand and throw them into the garbage. I turn around and see that Justin is sitting in my seat munching on an Apple. I look at the clock again and see that it's 7:30 . Crap.

        "We need to leave now. Everyone get there stuff let's go." I yelled grabbing all there bowls and pushing them towards the stairs. I drop the bowls in the sink and ran up the stairs almost running into Katie who had my book bag.

        "Thanks." I tell her turning around and walking back down the stairs. We go out the door and get into Justin's car waiting for the boys. Charlie gets out there first and Katie helps him get buckled, then Justin comes out and starts the car. Taking us to the doomed place for the rest of the day.
