18. The Problem

Kylie's P.O.V

I walked out of the kitchen and lead the way up the stairs into my room. Calum walked slowly behind me taking in every detail of my house. I don't really care. My house is sorta empty. I don't have any family pictures up or anything. We never had time for that crap. Any family pictures we have is probably in a box up in my closet. I opened the door to my room and sat on my bed. Calum slowly made his way into my room. He took a step back and looked all around my room. The look of awe on his face is adorable. It's so weird seeing him like this, so curious, he is usually so sure of himself. I wanted to start laughing. He looked like a kid in a candy shop. It was odd but.....cute.

"How long did it take." He spoke softly. I snapped out of my trance I was in and my mind became all jumbled.

"Oh.....Umm...what?" I chocked out. He giggled softly not talking his eyes off all of the band posters, stickers, drawings, pictures(of me and the boys), magazine cut-outs, and collages covering almost every inch of the my blue walls.

"4 or 5 years." I spoke now taking all of it in too.

"Wow, this is amazing. I didn't know you liked all these bands." He said and looked at me with this big smile on his face and then turned back to my walls.

I started giggling at the site of his goofy smile.

"What?" He said now facing me. Oh shit, he heard me, crap . I tried my hardest to not blush.

"I-I think it's funny how you are so interested in this." I tried to say confidently.

"Well I think it's pretty fucking awesome how you were so dedicated to this over the years." He said almost to enthusiastic. I started to smile a little.

"But I don't get why you don't have any family or childhood pictures." I stayed silent. "Why don't you" He pushed. I am really getting annoyed.

"I just don't want to, ok." I snapped and he held up his hands in surrender.

I suddenly heard the sound of paws running up the stairs. Calum and I turned our heads towards the door. Penny popped through door and I quickly crawled to the back of my bed, making room for her. She hopped onto my bed and crawled into my lap. I giggled at how she still thinks she is small enough to be a lap dog. She started rolling all over me and licking my face.

"Penny-Penny stop!" I could barely talk through all my giggles . She stopped licking me and rolled over on her back with her tongue hanging out the side. I started laughing even harder at Penny's position.

"Oh my Jesus, you are so fucking cute." I said while holding onto my stomach from laughing so much.

"Do you guys need a room." He said with a big goofy smile. I had totally forgotten that Calum is here.

"Calum Hood are you trying to be witty." I said laughing again.

He started laughing along with me. "Why, is it working?" He started wiggling his eyebrows with this stupid face that made me laugh even more.

"Oh my shit, you look exactly like Penny." I said and fell back on my bed bursting into fits of laughter. Calum pouted his lips.

"Well you look like-like a blue berry." He said obviously not having a strong come back.

"Oh ok we'll maybe I should just shave my head bald." I said as I pulled my hair back really tightly. "Yup, I can definitely rock it. I'll look better than Britney Spears." I stated and Calum burst into laughter. I took it in. His smile is so beautiful. His laugh is just memorizing.

Whoa I need to stop. I do not have a crush on Calum Hood. No.

"Yeah, definitely don't do that. You already look pretty enough as it is." He said.

It was completely silent as soon as those words slipped from his lips. I looked up into his big brown eyes, in complete shock of what he just said. I could feel my pulse increase by the second. Little breathes escape from my moulth, each one heavier than the other. I got up and ran of of the room.

No No No No No No No No. Please no not now. Please.

I couldn't stop it. My inhaler and my medication is in the bathroom. He can't know. He can't know any of it. I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I rummaged through the medicine cabinet and found my medication and inhaler. I dumped out two pills into my hand. Just then I heard knocking on the door which startled me causing me to drop my medication.

"Kylie!!Kylie!! I'm sorry if it was what I said....I just-I don't-I..............." He said eagerly and lost his words. I could now feel tears trailing down my face.

"It's not because of you my-my stomach hurts. Can you leave......I just-we can do the project another day." I said trying to sound ok.

"Yeah...I'll...uh...see you later." He said in a low tone and I could hear his feet drag down the stairs and out the door.

I sat on the toilet and hugged my knees. Tears now streaming down my face. I didn't bother to get more medication or my inhaler because now I knew. It all made sense to me now.

Calum Hood is my problem.
