Please Don't Set Me Free

Chapter 10

I turned pale white as I looked at Michael. I have no clue when he got here it why he was here. I told him to leave me alone tonight.

"Michael I can explain." I got off the couch and I stared walking towards him. Calum stayed frozen by the couch. He ran his fingers through his hair and looked nervous.

"What do you mean you can explain? Last week you were sobbing over this dick and now you're making out on your couch? Are you really that fucking pathetic? God. You disgust me." He was yelling now. Tears were forming in my eyes and I felt like I was gonna burst into tears at any moment. He was right. I was pathetic. But if he really felt that way, he doesn't need to be my friend. He can leave.

"Fine. If you feel I'm that pathetic and disgusting, then leave. Don't come back. You're too good for me and we both know it." A few tears were rolling down my face now and I turned away from him to wipe them off so he didn't see.

"Malia. Please don't shut me out." All of a sudden I was angry. Michael was making this seem like it was all my fault.

"Fuck you Michael. You just yelled at me and all you've done is tell me not to get with Calum and yell at me any time I tried to talk to him. Fuck you. Now you're making me being upset my fault? Get out. Get out now." I knew that I looked like a mess. My tears weren't holding back now and I was yelling through them. He looked honestly hurt by what I said, but he didn't argue. He just turned around and left.

As the door shut I just collapsed to the floor. My body shook from my sobs. Calum raced to my side and dropped to his knees as he held me. He kissed my forehead and collected me onto his lap as he sat on the floor. I cried into his shoulder. After a few minutes I tried getting myself together again.

"I'm sorry for getting your shirt wet." I mumbled as I shifted my head so I was more at the crook of his neck.

"Don't worry about it. Uh, can I ask you something though?" He chuckled the first part and then got serious. I shifted again so I was sitting up more and looking him in the face. I nodded at him so he would continue.

"Were you really that upset about me? Did I really hurt you that badly?"

"More than you could imagine. I was devastated. It felt like my world came crashing down on me. I really loved you and you hurt me." He was quiet for a minute before he spoke again.

"That was the biggest regret of my life. I promise you that. I'm so sorry that I cheated. If I could take it all back, I would in a heartbeat. I haven't been with anyone since you though. If you gave me a second chance I promise I would never hurt you again. Believe me please. I love you." I took a moment to consider what he was saying. I had heard people saying that Calum wasn't partying like he use to and that no girls could get with him, so that part was true.

"Okay. I'll give you a second chance. But I swear to god Cal, if you hurt me again, we are done for. Forever." The biggest smile broke out on his face. He cupped my cheeks in his hands and crashed our lips together.

"I love you so much. I won't hurt you I promise." For the sake of my heart I hoped this was true.

Yeah I said I would make this long but oh well. I'll just update again tomorrow.
