[05] closet

I entered the building where my best friend asked me to be at. I wore my hoodie to cover myself up as I walk the hallways towards the elevator. I noticed the old white walls were now painted yellow, the whole apartment was lighten up than it was before.

I press the button up and waited as it traveled down, a ding was heard and told me that I was ready to get inside. I step inside and was about to close the elevator when a hand was outstretched to stop the elevator from closing. My eyebrows meets and press the button to open the elevator for the boy that was in black sweater.

"Thanks." He muttered mostly to himself since it was too low for anyone to hear. My heart started to pound faster and my palms started to sweat as I found out who it was. The boy in black wasn't a stranger to me, which in fact, the only boy I always knew was standing beside me.

The elevator closes and the atmosphere seemed to be warm, I was almost panting. I reached for the button to press five, our fingers suddenly touching since he was about to press the same floor too. I swear, the blood in me rushed up my cheeks and I was super nervous. I immediately redeemed my hand and cleared my throat, he smiled back at me and press the button himself before returning to his past position.

"Jourdan, right?" His voice rang to my ear as if it was my favorite music to hear. I always loved when he calls my name, it sounded so different. It sounded so special.

"How did you know my name?" I sighed mentally to my response, I was glad I didn't stammer while talking to him.

"Ashton told me so," He shrugs as if it was obvious that he may know about my name since I was friend with his friend.

"And you're Calum, right?" I copied him. The feeling was a stab to my heart. It sucked, you know. Pretending to not know him, pretending to be numb. I was even surprise that I wasn't being a freak in front of him, I could just choose to break down and cry or beg for him to remember me but I guess I chose to pull my shit together and try to be stronger as I could be. I guess it's the only left option for me, to be strong through this.

"How did you know?" He chuckled deeply, I smiled and search for a good answer.

"Renee." I stated, he nods and bit his lower lip and I almost died.

"So, where are you heading then?" He breaks the silence between us and look back at me, my cheeks flushed red to his small gesture.

"I.. uh, to Renee's." I trailed just as the elevator dings again and it slide open. I step outside and he did to. I can't even move right, I was being conscious especially Calum being this close to me.

"Same then. Ashton called me to hang out by Renee's apartment, she called you too?" I nod and finally understood what was happening. The couple was actually setting both of us up, they obviously want us to happen again and planning things that both of us don't know about. First thought about this? Terrible plan.

We reached the apartment 304, Calum knocking on the door repeatedly as we both patiently wait for the couple to come out and let us in. The footsteps started to sound audible and it was getting closer until it stopped, the door finally unlocking and it flung wide open.

"Cal- Jourdan!" Ashton's eyes nearly pops out as he saw both of us standing outside Renee's door. "You're both here!" Ashton grinned, giving me the look of you're doing best jourdan and I returned him a look of fuck you, irwin. He chuckles deeply before motioning us to get inside.
