Rose

"Cal, are you okay? You've been listening to a lot of Drake lately." I confronted the blond as we hung out together in Tobi's flat.

"Uh well, not exactly. Astrid sort of used me and left."

"I mean I saw it coming." I said bluntly.

"How so?"

"Well I thought things with you and Annie were getting somewhere but then you left with Astrid and she practically drank her life away in one night." He seemed shocked at this information.

"I thought she was interested in Simon." He said, mouth still slightly agape.

"You dumbass that's what girls do to make a guy jealous. You're not supposed to just leave. You're supposed to fight for her."

"I fucked up didn't I?" He put his head in his hands and leaned on his elbows.

"Not quite yet. Go talk to her and see if you can sort it out. She's in her office I believe."

"You know what? I will. I'm going to tell her exactly how I feel. No beating around the bush."

"That's the spirit, now go get her tiger." I patted his back as he stood up to leave. "Wait!" He turned back to me and I tossed him my house keys. "She keeps the door locked." He thanked me and left the room.

Annie

I sat at my desk with a bottle of vodka sat next to me. I was sipping on it while editing a video for this week.

There was a knocking at my door and it opened up. I turned I my spinning chair, my eyes being met with Cal.

I turned back around and took a large drink of the alcohol and then turned back to him. "What do you want?" I asked.

"I want you to listen to me."

"Five minutes. I'll give you five minutes."

"I saw you with Simon and I thought you were into him. I wanted to get back at you so I left with her. I thought she had feelings for me but evidently I was wrong because she just fucked me and left."

"I don't want to hear about the girls you've fucked Callum."

"Sorry, but basically I was jealous and fucking stupid."

"I'll say." I scoffed.

"Hey I'm trying here. You know how horrible I am with these types of things."

"I know. I'm just as bad."

"Can we try again? Maybe like go on an actual date or something?" He asked.

"You want to go on a date?"

"Well yeah. I kinda like your dumb ass." I reached out and hit his shoulder.

"Don't hurt the merchandise babe." He smirked and I laughed.

"Not much there to hurt."

"Jheesh. Hit me harder, please."

"I'm kink shaming you Cal."

"Now, from the looks of things, you've drowned your sorrows in alcohol. What's up with the vodka?"

"Oh yeah. Um. I've probably drank more than I should have but it's lit you know? I'll be fine."

He came closer and grabbed my hands, pulling me up to stand with him.

"You're an alcoholic. Let's get you some food and water and then you can shower up and then we can go hang out with Rose. You love Rose."

"I do love her." I said leaning onto his chest.
