Part 9 "Hey asshole!"

~Olivia POV~
I don't know how long I have been walking on the beach. All I know is my phone keeps going off, my cheeks are dry, and it's starting to get dark. But I keep walking.

Ring ring

"Hello?" I say not even looking at the caller ID.

"Hi sweetheart?" My mom ask on the other line. She sounds like she has been crying.

"Hey mom." I say sitting in the sand.

"Where are you?" She ask as I hear shuffling in the back ground.

"I don't know somewhere in San Francisco." I say looking at my surroundings.

"Honey please come home." My mom says before she hands the phone to someone.

"Baby?" I hear Calum hiccup.

"Hey." I say feeling like I'm about to cry.

"Baby let me come pick you up." He says trying to convince me. I stay silent.

~Calum POV~
"Baby let me come pick you up."I say trying to convince her.

"No." She says after awhile.

"Please I don't want you out there late at night." I say putting it on speaker so everyone can hear.

Right now we are all in my living room. This is including Crystal, Ari, Mali, Ash, Mike, Luke, mama Liz, and me.

"I'm fine." She says sniffling. "Plus it's not like you came running after me." She says and I hear shuffling. Telling me she is standing up.

"Baby I had one of those panic attack things again. That's why I didn't chase after you." I say sitting on the couch.

"Oh my god are you okay? Did you break anything? I'm so sorry I just needed to get out. Everything was too much. I mean with everyone talking about how your aren't good enough for me is complete bullshit! You are one of the best damn things that ever happened to me! And I don't feel like we need to rush to have sex because frankly I don't want to regret it with you. This industry has made me do a lot of things I am not proud of, but I am so happy I got into it because I never would of been with you other wise." She rants before she starts crying.

"Shh baby I'm fine. Just start walking back to the way you came so I can pick you up." I say pacing around the room.

"I don't want you to pick me up. I look like a mess and I just want to go to sleep and not talk about it. I think I will get a hotel to stay in for the night." She argues.

"I don't care how you look." I say shaking my head.

"No let me pick you up!" Crystal says. "We can go to get ice cream and yell out lyrics on the drive home." She continues.

"Okay." Liv hiccups.

"Great where are you?" Crystal asks putting on her shoes.

"That bar we used to go to." She says as I hear a door open and cat whistles.

"Great I will be there in ten!" Crystal says grabbing her keys and walking to her car.

"Baby?" I hear my gorgeous girlfriend ask.

"Yes princess?" I ask in return.

"Can you come too?" She ask sniffling.

"Yes!" I say as I run out to jump in Crystals car.

"What are you doing?" Crystal ask being the protective best friend.

"I want him there because there are some scary people here. Actually bring the whole gang." She hiccups again.

"Okay." I say as I hop out and tell the rest.

"Babe we are on our way." I say into the phone.

"Bye." She says before the line goes dead.

"How bad is this bar?" I ask looking at Crystal as she backs out of the driveway.

"Well it's the place I had my only one night stand." Crystal says not looking at me.

"Oh." Is all I say before I turn on the radio.

After driving for ten minutes we arrive at an old looking bar.

"I will go in first." Crystal says cutting the engine and jumping out of the car.

"You're funny." I say as I walk up to the door of the bar and push it open.

I walk up to the bar tender.

"Hey have you seen a short blonde come in here about 10 minuets ago?" I ask focusing on the bar tender.

"Yeah she just went to the bathroom." He says before serving a man a beer.

"Hey beautiful! Why don't we have some fun?" I hear a nasty asshole say.

"Let me go!" I hear my princess say.

"Shut up." He says as he pulls her by her arm.

"That hurts." She whines as she tries to pull away.

"Hey asshole!" I shout before I punch the guy in the face and grab my girlfriend. "Leave my girlfriend alone before I beat your ass!" I say as Liv hugs me.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She sobs into my shirt.

"It's okay baby are you hurt?" I ask holding her tear stained cheeks in my hands.

She shakes her head no in response. "Good. Let's go home." I say as I let go of her cheeks.

"Hey pretty boy!" Someone yells before I see a fist fly towards my face making Liv scream.

"Fuck you!" Mikey yells as his fist hits the guys face.

"Let's go!" I yell to Liv as I pull her and Crystal out of the bar.

"Get in the car!" I yell to the girls. "Mike you good?" I ask my best friend who walks out of the bar.

"Yeah man lets go." He says as we jump in our cars.

"Please never run away again." I say before I kiss Liv right on the lips.

"I'm sorry I won't." She says before she sits back in her seat.

"Good." I say as I take her hand in mine and head back home.

"You're amazing." She says looking at me. "Does your hand hurt?" She asks making me look at my bloody knuckles.

"A little." I say parking the car in her driveway.

"Okay come on." She says as she gets out of the car. "Sit on the counter." She demands.

I go and sit on the counter.

"Give me your hand." She says making me hand her my hand.

"You're cute when you are all quiet and focused." I say making her look up at me.

"What am I when I am neither of those things?" She ask with curiosity.

"Sexy." I say bluntly. She immediately starts blushing at my words.

"Stop." She says going back to cleaning my knuckles.

"Even cuter when you blush." I say pulling her close to me. "And sexier when you aren't so innocent for me on that couch." I whisper in her ear making her shiver.

"Okay your knuckles are clean." She says as she kisses my knuckles and walks into the living room.

What am I going to do with her?
