The day after the night that consisted of a couple too many drinks went by slowly.
My stomach was in knots, and cluttered with butterflies all day long. I was confused, emotional, and excited about nearly everything. That is after I got rid of the massive headache from my hangover, anyway.
I hadn't really gotten to talk to Calum much, but I spoke to him a little at breakfast time. He seemed to be in a similar mood as me, and I liked that. It meant everything going on between us was truly mutual, and that's something I really needed.
I was slowly but surely coming up with the biggest thank you I could give to Lana, but didn't know how to say it yet. Without Lana bringing my thoughts and wishes to life and constantly giving not only me, but Calum confidence too, we might not be where we were. Lana was constantly giving us advice and making us feel better about everything and I was really appreciative of that.
Although the day was going by slowly, there was never a time where any of us weren't moving and getting stuff done. Whether that be cleaning, packing, or leaving to see friends, or family, we were constantly in motion.
Whenever Luke, Lana and I got back from seeing Luke's family and the other boys, we finally had some downtime and watched some tv. Calum had gone out to see his family, and took a little longer than us.
A part of me almost wished I could have met Calum's family, just to see if they were nice... if they liked me. I know we weren't an actual thing yet, and I know neither of us were ready to tell people, but... I still wanted to meet his family, kind of to see what I was getting myself into. I know there's a possibility that something might not work out between us, that's always a possibility, but it never hurt anyone to think about things that might happen down the road.
I suddenly thought about Calum meeting my parents and cringed. I hadn't let my parents meet anyone I was seeing since maybe the second girl I dated. They never lasted, and I always got roped into something that wasn't real, something I didn't want, or something I wasn't ready for. I was sort of ashamed of my relationships, I didn't want my parents thinking I was some sort of fuck up that just ruined all the relationships I was in. I also didn't know how I felt about telling them I had finally found the reason I was never any good in the relationships I had been in.
