Someone you used to be

"This is wrong, Cal" -- P5

Kelly's POV

I woke up the next morning at 6:30 am to my alarm going off. I lied there for a couple minutes before Calum walked in.

"Why the fuck is your alarm going off on a Saturday?" He asks, yawning. I sit up and turn the alarm off. "Thank you" he says. He stands there for a minute. "Well, bye" I say. "Well I'm already awake. I'm not going to be able to go back to sleep" he says. He shuffles out of my room and I see the hallway light turn on.

I sit there for a while. I hear the doorbell ring and jump out of bed. I glance in the mirror to see what I'm wearing. Black pajama pants with a grey sport bra and grey tank top. Good, nothing embarrassing. I walk downstairs but stop when I hear voices.

"Luke? The hell are you doing here this early?" Calum says. My eyes widen. Luke? "Is Kelly here?" Luke asks, ignoring Calum. "Why?" Calum asks. "Because I want to see her" Luke says. I walk into the room. "Calum who is it?" I ask, obviously knowing who it is. I stop when I see Luke standing there in his usual black skinny jeans with a band tank top and black converse. He looks up and sees me. "Hey, Kelly" Luke waves. I raise an eyebrow. "The hell are you here this early for?" I ask. Luke opens his mouth but stops when another car pulls into the driveway. He turns around.

Ashton steps out of the car. I see Calum's face grow angry. "Okay why the fuck are so many people here, obviously here for my sister, at 7:00 in the morning?!" Calum slightly yells. Ashton's face brightens when he sees me. He runs up and into the house, passing Calum. I open my mouth to ask him why he's here but I'm stopped when his lips are crashed against mine. When he pulls away I look behind him and see Calum staring at Ashton with a look of anger on his face. Luke is glaring at Ash. "Okay. Thank you for that Ash. But maybe you and Luke should leave and come back when it's not so early?" I ask. Ashton nods and kisses me on the cheek before leaving. Luke hugs me and leaves too.

Calum closes the door and looks back at me. "You and me are going shopping today to spend time together. Also, I will hang onto your phone to ensure neither of those boys are calling you" he says. I roll my eyes. "Okay. Sounds like fun" I say. "I'll make breakfast while you go get ready. Pancakes cool?" He says. I nod and smile before running up the stairs.

I close my door and walk to my closet. I sigh. I check the weather real quick before turning back to my closet.

-1 hour later-

I put the finishing touches on my light makeup. Just eyeliner and surprisingly lip gloss. It's clear and gives my lips a shiny look. I decide to keep my long wavy hair down. I do a 360 in the mirror.

I slip on my black high top converse. I grab my black beanie since it's only 74 degrees outside. Damn you, winter.

I grab my phone a couple 20 dollar bills before heading downstairs. I walk into the kitchen to find Calum putting pancakes on plates. He got dressed into his NASA t-shirt with black skinnies and converse. He looks up and smiles. "Ready to eat?" He asks. "Always am" I say before sitting down. I pick up my fork when my phone dings. Calum snaps his attention to my phone. I grab it before he can.

From: Luke
Hey sorry for asking but may I ask why Calum was there?

I realize that I never actually told Luke that Calum's my step brother. I text him real quick before setting my phone down. I look up and see Calum with his hand out. I roll my eyes and set my phone into his hand. "Thank you" he says. He puts the phone in his pocket.

"So what are you gonna get at the mall?" He asks. I swallow my bite of pancake. "I might dye my hair" I reply. Calum chokes on his pancake. "For real?" He coughs out. I laugh and nod. "Why?" He asks. I shrug. "It would look cool" I say. "What color?" He asks. I think before speaking. "Maybe a red. I'm also considering a deep purple" I reply. Calum nods.

We finish eating and brush our teeth. I pop a piece of minty gum in my mouth before making sure I have everything. I walk towards the front door. "Wanna take my truck or your car?" He asks. "Truck" I say. I've always liked trucks. Especially Calum's truck. It's a grey chevy Silverado. And it's lifted. I like chevy, but I also like RAM.

Calum nods and grabs his keys. I lock the front door behind us and walk towards the truck. Calum opens the door for me and helps me get in it. Calum is 6'1 while I'm only 5'7. So I'm pretty short.

Cal starts the truck and pulls out of the driveway. I go to grab my phone but remember that he has it. "Cal-" I start to say. "No you cannot have your phone" he cuts me off. I sigh and sit back in my seat. "What about for music?" I ask. He reaches into his pocket and hands me his phone. "Use mine" he says. I take his phone and plug it into the cars SYNC line.

I start to play something by Blink-182 but Cal stops me. "Play Green Day" he says. I glare at him but obey.

2 Green Day and 3 Blink-182 songs later, we pull into the parking lot of the mall. I unplug his phone and hand it to him. I go to step out of the car but Cal locks the doors. I turn to face him. "Cal can you-" I start but I'm stopped when Calum's lips are crashed against mine. I immediately push him away and slap him.

"What the hell, Calum?! We're basically related!" I yell. "I'm sorry. But I've always liked you. And not by blood" he says. "Why?" I ask. "I've always been really distant from you because I've never been able to control myself around you. I thought if I spent enough time away from you then my feelings would go away, but they obviously didn't" he replies. I go silent and look down. "Please, let me try again" he says. I sit there. After what feels like an hour, I nod. "Your sure?" He asks. I nod again. I look back up at him. He leans in.

His lips finally connect with mine. As much as it feels wrong, our lips seemed like they were puzzle pieces that just went together. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. I finally pull away and get out of the car. He follows. I turn back towards him when he gets out of the car. I kiss him first this time. He seems surprised but kisses back. He wraps his arm around my waist. He pulls away and smiles at me. He intertwines his hand with mine and pulls me towards the mall.

We stop dead in our tracks when we see Luke staring at us. "Your step-brother, huh?" He asks. I look down. Luke scoffs. "Hey, she can kiss whoever she wants. And we are step-siblings. But it's not technically wrong since we're not blood" Calum says. I look up in surprise. Luke is glaring at Cal. Luke looks back at me. "Ashton will be glad I told him about this" Luke says to me before walking away. I'm silent. Calum walks towards me but I softly push him away. "Luke's right" I say. Calum gives me a confused look. "This is wrong, Cal" I say. "Love is Love, Kelly" he replies. I look up him and smile. "Your right" I say. We kiss again, this time it's French.

We look up when we hear a camera click. I see Luke standing there with his phone pointed at us. Shit.
