Unexpected Beginnings {Calum Hood & Luke Hemmings}

Chapter Fourteen

*~ POV's will be changing!(: ~*

~Crescent's POV~

"But our management is forcing us go to the UK to prepare for tour because our covers were blown."

Ashton sat still and nervously fiddled with his hands. Scarlet buried her face in her hands, unable to support the mental pain of realization that was setting in. My head went blurry.

They have to go to the UK..

I stood up and walked off to my room."Crescent." Calum called, standing up and following me. He beat me to my bedroom and stood in the doorway.

"You can't go." I whispered looking up at him with pleading eyes. Today at lunch.. That will be everyday all the time if they leave.

"I don't have a choice." He said quietly, running his hand down the side of my face. I just shook my head and let the tears start to pour onto my cheeks.

"Crescent, please don't cry." He whispered wrapping his arms around me, his lips on my neck.

"I don't want you to leave me." I whimpered. "think of what they'll do to me with you gone." I could tell he had started crying too, by the salted water running down my neck. I felt everything crush inside of me. He's crying, which means this is all true.

He's really going to leave me.

-------- Three Days Later --------

-Calum's POV-

I carried my last suitcase out of the bare dorm room. We have to drive to the airport and take a flight to the UK. Crescent and Scarlet are supposed to meet us there, but I'm not sure if they'll come or not. They're taking everything horribly; although, I can't say I'm doing any better.

I got in the back of the limo and tried to keep myself from cussing out the gathered screaming girls, even though they weren't the ones who blurted to the media. Lacy was. I'll kill her. I sat on the very back seat and stared out the window, not willing to talk to any of the other management members that were staring at me.

"This is shit." Ashton scoffed at a blonde guy in a suite.

The blonde guy tried to ignore his comment, but didn't pull it off well. The drive to the airport was painful. It's hard being stuck in a small space with ten people that you loathe. I tried to talk to the boys to ignore the ten sets of eyes staring into my skull. We finally reached the airport and I grabbed my bags, anxious to see if Cress showed up. Luke was ahead of me by a couple steps, opening the door. Scar came to greet us.

"Hi." She sighed quietly hugging Luke.

"Where's Cress?" I asked, scanning the room.

"She rushed off to the restroom. Actually, she's been in there for a while." Scar said glancing towards the bathroom.

That's when the screaming started. It was obviously Crescent. I dropped my bags and took off to the girls restroom, not even caring at the slightest when I burst through the door. "Crescent?" I asked. There was a high pitched laugh behind me, just as the door closed.

"Look Crescent! Romeo showed up." Lacy laughed. I checked all of the stalls before coming across Crescent, lying on the floor unconscious.

"What did you do to her?" I barked.

She had already run out of the bathroom. I picked up Crescent's limp body and cradled her back to the entrance. Scarlet gasped and covered her mouth with her hands as she saw what had happened. I looked around the room to see every single eye on me, and every single face with pure shock. A paramedic rushed over to me and took Crescent from my arms. He laid her on the cold tile floor and started examining her.

"She took a hard hit to the head. She has a bruise." He sighed "what happened?"

"I don't know. Some girl that hates her was in there and I happened to show up just as that happened." I panted, becoming worried.

"We've got to go." A guy in a suite muttered behind me.

"Not the time." I growled.

Crescent started stirring and I bent down to her level. "Crescent." I whispered.

"Calum?" She asked confused, opening her eyes. I bent down and kissed her forehead. She sat up and rubbed the back of her head.

"It was Lacy. She jumped on top of me a started banging my head against the floor." She whimpered.

"Well, I'm going to suggest you go to the hospital to check for a concussion." The paramedic sighed getting back up and walking away.I helped Crescent stand up.

"Told you these girls were stupid. All they cause is trouble." A management member spoke up.

I spun around and let all of my furry explode into every single word I could think of calling him. Luke joined me and Scar actually had to hold him back. I felt Crescent's small hand on my shoulder.

"It's fine, babes." She whispered "let it go."

I turned back around to face her big, sad eyes. I ran my fingers through he thick hair one last time.

"Goodbye Calum. Good luck on tour." She said quietly, trying to hide all of the emotions.

"It's not goodbye. I'll call every night and we can FaceTime." I smiled.

"Better not cheat on me." She winked, poking my chest.

"Wouldn't think of it." I smirked before pulling her closer to me so that I could kiss her lips.

"Ehem." One of the suited men coughed after who knows how long of us kissing. We pulled away and I let them guide me to the plane. I was able to get one last glance of Scarlet and Crescent before turning a corner.

After we were all seated, the plane started moving. I took my last look at South Carolina before burying my head in my hands.

~Crescent's POV~

Scarlet and I watched out the window of the airport as the plane took off. "I'll drive." Scarlet mumbled "we're taking you to the hospital." I followed Scar back to the parking lot and got in the passenger seat.

"I'm really worried about Lacy. If she would beat your head against the floor, she means a lot of harm." Scarlet sighed, concerned.

"I don't know." I said wincing as a migraine set in.

The drive to the nearest hospital took a half an hour. We walked in and told the lady at the front desk what had happened so she could write up a doctors report. Scarlet came with me while I got scanned over and over to check my head. Once all of the tests results were back, the doctor sat in a room with us to talk.

"She has some bleeding in the brain, but from what I can see everything will be okay." He smiled "just don't exercise or anything for a week in case you would happen to fall and hit your head."

We left and pulled into our apartment forty-five minutes later. "Crescent what are we going to do?" Scarlet asked, wiping her salted cheeks.

"I guess we just wait. I don't really know." I said tiredly.

"Okay. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." She sniffed, walking off to her room.

I headed to my room and closed my door. I didn't sleep at all. Around midnight I got a call from Calum.

"Hello." I said.

"Hi." He mumbled.

"I miss you. A lot." I whined.

"I miss you too. We just got to the UK." He sighed "you know what?"

"What?" I asked, yawning.

"If it weren't for the boys, I would give up everything to be with you right now. The band. Everything." He sighed.

"If only that was a choice." I laughed breathlessly.

"Yeah. Well I'm going to try to catch some sleep." He said quietly.

"Goodnight." I sighed.

"I love you, Crescent." He whispered before hanging up. I love you too, Calum.
