Chapter 14

Misty's POV

I must've fell asleep for the last 15 minutes of the drive. I felt a finger poking my shoulder as I lifted my head from leaning on the side.

"Wake up we're here."

I stretched out and rubbed my eyes rubbing the bags away. I checked the vanity mirror in front of me. My sore eyes adjusting to the small light appearing. My reflection nearly scared me. My eyes had pinkish purple rings under. I turned to face Seth who was staring right at me.

"Do I really look that bad?"

I ran my fingers through my tangled hair.

"Not really for someone who seems depressed and all."

He gave me a light laugh taking his keys out of the ignition.

"I'm going to go now, Seth. Thank you for everything today even if we didn't exactly hang out. I'm so sorry."

"Hey don't feel bad, Misty, today was a fun day. I mean I got to spend time with you and I helped with something also. I don't know why you're sorry for."

I gave him a weak smile and leaned across the car and gave him a big hug. He hugged me back and we broke.

"I'll see you later. Call me if you wanna do this again."

Seth said smiling sheepishly.

"Of course! Bye Seth!"

I unlocked the door and jogged up to the front steps of the boys house. Before I knocked I heard another crash and yelling. I tried the handle and it gave way. I guess no one locked the door.

"Calum you need to calm down!"

I heard Ashton shout in a room down the hall. I started to walk down the hall when I saw Michael come out of the room carrying a bag of empty beers. He was in shock to see me standing there.

"Misty!"

He dropped the bag and squeezed me tight in a hug.

"Thank god you're here Calum needs you bad."

He nudged his head towards the room he had came out of. I didn't say a word as I walked up to the door that was cracked open. I walked in to see Luke sitting on the edge of Calum's bed and Ashton sitting on the floor. Calum laid in his bed with closed eyes. I had assumed that he was sleeping but I wasn't sure.

"Misty!"

Luke and Ashton both said in unison. Ashton scooted over and patted at the ground next to him. I sat down and studied Calum's face. He was definitely drenched in sweat. His face seemed tense, his cheeks were red, but those weren't the features that bothered me.

There was a purple bruise near his jawline and a cut on his left cheekbone. I slowly landed my finger on his bruise careful not to wake him.

"What happened?"

I said whispering to Ash and Luke.

"We're not sure."

Luke said uncertainty in his voice.

"He came home drunk, with all these bruises on his face. He passed out so we carried him here. And about 10 minutes ago he had a nightmare screaming your name."

Ashton told me staring at Calum. I was speechless. I turned to stare at Calum once again. I heard the door shut behind me and saw that I was alone with Calum.

I stroke his cheek where there was a cut.

"What did you do Calum?"

I whispered to him tracing my fingers over the bruise on his jawline once again. Calum stirred at my touch so I stopped. His eyes opened halfway squinting at me.
