Mr Hood (Calum Hood AU)

Part 64 - We weren't meant to cry

Hey Guys!!

Long time no update.  But yeah.  This is the next update.  Just to let y'all know that I have decided that the book will be ending soon.  There is still some drama (kind of) to come.  The rest of the chapters are going to be in Summer's POV unless otherwise stated.  

But yeah, thank you so much for all of your love and support for this book.  I am planning to start writing either another book soon.  Don't know if I'll do it on one of the boys though or not.  It'll be either be Luke or Ash, if I do.  But meh, let me know what you think.  I've got a couple ideas so if you want to know, then leave a comment and I'll post some of the ideas that I've got...  

But enough stalling, here's the next chapter.

I walked out of my last exam feeling exhilarated. That was my final exam. I was done. I was finished with school. It was over. It was finally over. I was practically skipping as I went into the car park and my heart skipped a beat when I saw who was standing there, waiting for me.

Calum.

I tried to calm myself down as I approached this beautiful creation. "Mr Hood." I grinned at him cheekily. "Miss Thompson." He played along. I let out a giggle as he stood there, just watching me with a smile on his face. "Can I help you?" I asked him and he let out a little laugh. "I believe you can." He smirked and my eyes widened at the smirk. "Really? How so?" He took my hand in his. "You know, I think my lips are getting lonely over here. They need a friend." He suggested and I laughed. "We're at school." I rolled my eyes. "I don't care." Shrugging he pulled me closer to him. I looked around to see if anyone was there, and there were other teachers and students.

My eyes widened as Calum pulled my lips to his. The kiss took me by surprise but I melted into it. It was so soft and enchanting. Everything ese, everyone else just faded away and it was only me and Calum. My hands went to his hair and his grabbed my hips, pulling me into his body. He pulled away with his signature smirk and I smiled breathlessly at him. "I love you." He whispered and I my smile grew so much that it hurt. My heart leapt at his words and I knew they were true. "I love you." I smiled, to make his smirk change into the cutest grin ever.

I took a step back and Calum held open the door for me as I got in. He closed the door and strolled round to the driver's side. "Where to?" He asked me and I laughed. "Anywhere. It doesn't matter if it's with you." He let out a laugh. "And you call me cheesy." I laughed at that, it was true. "Let's go then." He said as he started up the car and drove.

"So, how'd it go?" He asked and I grinned. "Really well. I will be shocked if I don't get a good grade." "Really? My little A-plus princess?" He joked and I laughed, covering the fact the pet name surprised me. "Maybe not that good." "You're going to be far too smart for me." He said and I laughed. "Going to be?" I joked and he laughed. "Yeah, probably too late for that!" He grinned at me. I love this man.

We arrived at our destination and I grinned. The forest. The place where we finally got our shit together. I got out the car excited and ran around to him. "Someone is giddy." He chuckled as he came round to get me. It resulted in a light punch to his shoulder. "That hurt!" He shouted and I just laughed. "You love me anyway." I joked and he placed a light kiss on my cheek. "I really do." I blushed at that as he grabbed my hand and dragged me back to our little spot.

We sat down and I took in the new view as it was in the daytime. Both night and day are as equally beautiful from here. "Summer." Calum said to get my attention as I sat with my back against his chest. "Cal." I turned to face him. "I didn't bring you here just because I wanted to. I have something that I want to talk to you about." From the serious tone in his voice I knew this was important. I sat criss-cross in front of him and took his hands in mine as I looked in his eyes.

I gave him time to gather himself before he started to talk. "You know that I love you. So much. But I want you to know that I really mean it. You are the only person that I ever want to love and I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives. When you were gone, it hurt me in every possible way. But it showed me how short life really is and I figured that you need to keep the people you love in your life for as long as you can and to never let them go." I searched his downturned face as he spoke. He always looks so innocent when he is being truthfully serious. "I don't ever want to let you go Summer. I want to spend every minute of every hour of every day with you. When I drop you off at your house I don't like leaving you because I don't want us to be apart. That sounds so clingy but I don't even care, because it is the truth." He let out a little laugh. "My every thought is consumed by you. You don't ever leave my mind, Summer. And I love you. God, I love you!" He tells me and my eyes start tear up at his words.

I put my hand on his chin to lift his face and I press a chaste kiss on his lips. "I feel the same way. I knew it was you. From the moment, I saw you. I may have thought you were a dick, but I felt this feeling in my heart. I didn't know what it was at first but now I know that it was my feelings for you. When I was away I saw your face when I slept and I knew that everything that happened was worth it because I would rather it was me than you. Because if it was you they'd taken then you wouldn't be here. You would be gone. And I don't think I would ever be able to get over that or to forgive myself. At the beginning, before Elijah came into the picture.

"I took every beating, the burns, the torture, and I got through it because I thought of you, you and Spence. I love you Calum and I know that I am probably too young and it is too early for us to feel this way. But I really do love you, with all that I am. I love you." I tell him, the tears beginning to fall. Calum pulls me into his lap and he hugs me for ages. "I don't think I could live my life without you in it. At least not a happy life. Because you do, you make me happy." I whisper through my sobs and I can feel a wetness against my neck from Calum. "I love you." He whispers back.

After about 15 minutes we eventually calm down. Calum lets out a little laugh as he wipes my tears away and I use my sweater paws to dry his face. He kisses me again and I get drawn in immediately. I love this man, so much that it causes my whole body to burn. "I didn't mean for us to cry." He tells me with a chuckle. "I wouldn't expect so." I giggle back and he kisses my cheek. "Well what did you bring me here for then?" I ask him curiously. He clears his throat and I watch as he wipes his hands on his jeans before taking my hands again.

"Summer Thompson. You infatuate me. Confuse me. You make me happy and you make me feel whole. I have never felt this happy in my entire life. I always felt a little empty before I met you, as if I was just going through life without actually living it, doing things because they were supposed to be done. But you changed that. I started doing things because I wanted too. There was a purpose to it all and I found that the purpose was you. We were drawn to each other and I believe that we were always meant to be, we were meant to meet. I have fallen in love with every part of you. I want you to be with me for the rest of my life. I know that you are young, hell even I am young. But when you know, you know. And I do know. I know that it is you and it was always meant to be you." He looks into my eyes expectantly and my eyes widen as I realised what he was about to say. He goes into his pocket and I'm too shocked to actually look in his hand.

"Summer Hale Thompson. Will you marry me?"  

Dun, dun, dun!

Hope you enjoyed.  Vote and comment so I know.
