Lost Boy; C.h.

-45-

Calum

"Im leaving", she told me.

I fealt my heart sink.

The makeup running down her face hurt me so much. And the fact I caused that somehow , it hurt me even more.

The dreams she left behind while walking through the door were big ones too. Her plans of fame and fortune were not in flames. And though I could provide an easier way to achieve that dream, I guess she didn't need it.

X X X

I woke up in a cold sweat.

Then I realized I was crying.. what?

I didn't bother to wipe the salty tears away. But I looked over at Ryan sleeping peacefully next to me.

I snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her to me. She slightly squealed in shock. I buried my face into her chest? And she instantly started rubbing my back. And saying 'shh'

"What happened" she asked, removing my head from her boobs.

"...bad dream" I said. For a guy who cries a lot I hate showing emotion. I wish I wasn't so sensitive. But it's okay.

"What happened in the dream , dummy?" She asked in a whisper

I gulped gently.

"I lost you." I said, my voice breaking slightly. My chocolate eyes meeting her emerald ones. I saw something in her eye warm and her eyes melted once she made sense of what I said.

"Baby.. I'm never gonna leave you." She said. She wiped the last tear on my cheek away.

I sighed.

I rested my head on her chest, and I placed my leg across hers, just to feel a tad closer.

I traced lines and random letters across her back.

She moaned happily. Not in a sexual way. She was comfortable and smiled gently.

"I love you." I said. I pecked her on the lips.

"I love you too."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Calum, leave my my boobs alone."

3 days later ~

Savanna attempted to hang up the purple streamers. Her facial expression showing pure confusion showing that she had no idea what she was doing.

Emma was also putting up blue streamers, but with such ease, her best friend was clearly annoyed.

I chuckled watching them.

At the kitchen table, Autumn and Ryan were decorating a "2017!!" Banner. Their different art methods made it an interesting pattern of colored paint strokes across the black banner. The banner had a table with champagne and confetti, as well as a view of New York City through a Victorian style window.

Ryan decided about four hours ago that we would be throwing a New Year's Eve party tonight. So we went to the dollar store and bought whatever we could find. Which was basically nothing.

The banner, the streamers and napkins.

Then we went to the grocery store and bought food and plates, and also bead necklaces, and classes, and those weird noise things you blow into when the ball drops.

(Sorry that sounds really sexual lmao)

But we had enough stuff to pull this off.

So we invited mike, Luke, ash, mali, Jayson, and of course Savanna, Emma, and Autumn.

Luckily none of them had real plans so they're all coming.

When everyone came over, we had a great time. We were all slightly drunk. Except Ryan. But we all had a good time.

We turned on the tv and watched the performances and soon the ball was starting to drop.

"30!"
"29!"
"28!" Everyone yelled. Along with the count down.

I watched Ryan closely and saw how much she was enjoying this. New Years was always her favorite holiday. New starts. Second chances. Third chances. Ryan just loved that everyone had the change do be a better person.

Ryan turned to me, belting out the numbers counting down, as if it was her favorite song that she could never get enough of.

Her bright green emerald eyes  meeting my own dark ones. Her joy beaming. She pecked me on the lips.

"17!"
"16!"
"15!"
"14!"

I looked around to see something i wasn't expecting. All of my best friends getting snugly with another one of my best friend.

Ashton and Emma.

Michael and Savanna.

Luke and autumn.

Mali and Jayson. Although they don't really count.

"5!"
"4!"

2017, here we come.

"3!"
"2!"
"1!"

"Wooooooo!!"

Everyone yelled.

I'm ready for whatever this year brings me.

X X X
