When We Said Forever.

Chapter 24

When i awoke the next morning, i sleepily rolled over, only to discover Calum's side of the bed empty. Frowning to myself, i rolled back over and picked up my phone, where it was laying on the bedside table, gently unplugging the power cord, so i could roll back over once again. I turned the brightness all the way down, still waiting for my eyes to adjust to the light, and glanced at the lock screen.

(3) New messages from Mum.

(1) Missed Call from Tegan

And finally (2) new messages from Calum.

Quickly glancing at my messages from mum, i discovered that she missed me, and wanted to ask me about the time zones, which i decided i could reply to later, she would be asleep at home right now.

Next, i scrolled down to the messages from Calum.

CALUM: Morning babe, me & the boys have gone to our last rehearsal before the tour actually kicks off, we will be home around 5. The boys wanna hang out with you :( They don't like me as much now that you're here.

Love you, can't wait to see you tonight. :) xxx

And the second message read:

CALUM: PS. Ashton says Hi.

PPS. Ashton made me write that & was watching me type. This band is crazy.

I giggled at the last text, glancing to see how long ago I had received the message. It had been sent 4 hours ago!

Glancing now to the clock on my phone i realised it was now 2 in the afternoon. Jetlag was a real killer. Not really sure what to do with out the boys home, i climbed out of bed, letting my feet get used to the cold hard wood floors before putting my full weight upon them. Once i had gotten used to the cold timber on my feet, i left out room in search of the heater control, which the boys apparently turned off before they left the house. As the house was warming up, i decided to venture into the kitchen to have some breakfast, stealing a pack of Luke's cereal and emptying part of the content into my bowl, adding a splash of milk. Whilst eating Luke's cereal i scanned through twitter & Instagram, finishing & placing my bowl into the sink with a crash.

"Its so quiet" I muttered to myself, walking upstairs to the bathroom to take a shower.

After being on a 24 hour flight the day before i decided that a long, uninterrupted shower is exactly what i need & seeing as though there were no boys home, it wasn't likely that i would be interrupted. Getting the shower set on the right temperature, is stepped in enjoying the warm, as it relaxed the tight muscles in my back and neck. Seeing Calum's shampoo & conditioner on the shower floor i decided to let my hair down & give it a decent wash, also shaving my legs whilst waiting to wash the soapiness out. I stood, under the water for a few minutes after washing my hair out, thinking about the upcoming tour, and just how far away i was from home & how different things could become between myself and Calum now that he was on tour. Trying to shake my thoughts, i abruptly turned the taps off and stepped out on to the cold bathroom tiles in search for a towel, discovering a clean one in the cupboard & wrapped it around myself, creeping back into the hallway to our bedroom & getting changed. Today i decided to wear a pair of black jeans with a simple tshirt, not wanting to get too dressy for hanging around the house.

Heading back down stairs to the lounge room, i replied to Calum's text's telling him i couldn't wait for him to come home because i was bored & cold, then switching on the TV to cure my boredom. I had only just settled in when there was a swift knock at the door.

'Should i answer that?' I asked myself, pushing up from the couch and heading towards the peep-hole, where a man in a suit stood waiting.

He seemed to look quite important & worried that it could be band related i opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Oliver and i'm here to deliver a message to Miss Keely, i assume you are she" he said formally with a bleak expression on his face.

"Yeah... I am" i replied, not sure as to what was going on.

"Ahh, excellent" he smiled. "Miss Keely" He began.

"Just Keely" I interupted.

"Well, Keely, i'm here to give you a message from Mr Hood, inviting you to the 02 Arena tonight at 6. There will be a car sent to pick you up" He smiled down at me.

"Uhhh, did he say anything else?" I asked, completely dumb-founded.

"No, that was all." He replied. "I will be here at 6 to pick you up and personally drive you to the arena." He said before bidding me good day and heading back towards his black SUV.

What just happened? I thought to myself.
