Save Me

Chapter Sixteen

"She's uh, she's my ex." He admitted.

I don't know why I'm so surprised, I mean I've only known Calum almost a week and he's obviously had a life before me.

"When did you guys break up?" I asked trying not to pry too much. "Can we talk about this later? It's a long story and we're almost at your surprise," Calum smiled, moving his hand back to my thigh.

"Surprise?" My eyebrows furrowed together. "You'll see," he stated simply, a giant smile still plastered on his face.

"Can you try your drink?" I asked sweetly while pointing towards it. "I totally forgot we got these," he chuckled then brought the straw up to his mouth, taking a sip.

He had a shocked look on his face, "this is so good! I never thought I would like Starbucks but fuck!" He put the straw back to his mouth and drank half of it in like 10seconds.

"Well I'm glad you like it," I said laughing.

We drove for about 10 more minutes before we pulled up to a beautiful beach. There's plenty of beaches outside of our town that are gorgeous but I've never been to them, until now.

I looked onto the beach and saw the boys with Ashley and Alison.

"Are we having a beach day?" I asked. "Yep! I even brought the swimsuits and towels!" Calum smiled as he reached to the back seat grabbing a bag.

"Awe babe!" I kissed him, "thank you." I smiled. "Anything for you," Calum smiled back.

We got out of the car and went over to the bathrooms to change.

Calum is seriously the sweetest person I've ever met, he always puts others before himself and I love that about him.

I finished putting my swim suit on and met Calum outside of the bathrooms. "Shit babe," Calum bit his lip and looked me up and down.

"You're such a perv," I smirked as I leaned in and kissed his lips. His hand intertwined with mine as we started down the path to the others.

There's a little voice in the back of my mind telling me that everyone is judging me because of what happened with Cam. I know it's not true but the stupid voice won't shut up.

When Ashley and Alison saw me they ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Thank you for helping me the other night Alison. And thank you Ashley for coming over yesterday." I whispered as I hugged my girls.

"We would do anything for you!" Alison said pulling away and looking into my eyes. "Also who's Calum and why have you not told me about him? And why are you kissing and holding hands when Ashley told me you're just roommates?" Alison raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

These girls are so protective. I looked at Ashley who also had her eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"What, am I on trial or something?" I giggled. "No, I'm just curious and we want the best for you." Alison stated.

"Well if you really wanna know, we're a thing. We met at school last Monday and I've spent everyday with him. He's such a sweet guy and I didn't expect to like him this much in such a short amount of time but I'm so happy. I didn't tell you guys because I didn't want anything getting around to Cam.." I said rubbing my arm.
