Present day

It was cold, extremely cold. No, extremely fucking cold. So cold in fact I couldn't feel my toes, and I was wearing at least three pairs of socks. And right now my only best friend was my bed, I hadn't left it in hours now, I was sure it had at least been about five. It was peaceful though, listening to the rain and not having to worry about anything. It was days like this I enjoyed, where I had nothing to do but relax.

I heard a knock on my door then, but instead of answering I quickly pulled the covers over my head and hoped whoever it was would leave me alone. But of course, they didn't. Instead they sat on the edge of my bed and poked me in the side. "Get out of bed, loser."

I smiled slightly at the sound of the familiar voice, and stuck my nose out of the covers and saw exactly who I had hoped it was. "Calum you know this isn't your house, right?" I joked.

The skinny boy laughed, crinkles forming at the corner of his eyes. "Your mum said you hadn't gotten out of bed all day dude." He said, changing the subject.

I rolled my eyes and pulled the covers completely off my face, "It's cold."

"It's not that fucking cold mate." He pushed me playfully and smirked.

"I live in Australia, I'm not used to this weather." I said and sat myself up so I was leaning against the headboard of my bed.

"That's the most stupidest thing ever," Calum laughed and shook his head, "Ya know, there's this thing, called Winter? And we have it every year?" He said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes again and laughed, "You are seriously an idiot at time, I don't even know why I'm friends with you."

He smiled and moved so he was sitting on the other side of me, and picked up my playstation controller and turned the T.V on. He threw me the second controller and we waited for the screen to load.

"Heard from Indie at all?" He asked, his eyes fixated on the screen.

I sighed, remembering I had forgotten about that whole situation. "Yeah she called me and said she'd call me again, but I haven't heard my phone ring once."

"How long ago did she call?" Calum pushed a few buttons on his controller quickly and managed to get us into an online server, which in my opinion wasn't the greatest way to play, but I couldn't really careless right now.

"Two days ago." I pouted in concentration, trying to dodged gun fire from other players in the game.

"Oh well maybe -DIE MOTHERFUCKER- she will call tonight?" He said hopefully, with also the concentration on killing the other players.

"Hm, yeah maybe." I responded, I really wanted her to call. I missed her so much and the only contact I could have with her was over the phone. It sucked, I wanted to see her so badly it hurt. And I couldn't talk to Calum about it, he and all my other friends had no clue about my feelings for Indie. The only person who does is my mum, because she was the one who had to put up with all my tears for weeks on end after Indie had left for New York.

But I knew she wouldn't call, even though I wished with all of my god damn heart she would call, I knew she wouldn't. Whether it was because she is busy or because of the time differences, it didn't matter to me. I knew she didn't care for me like I care for her, I knew she wouldn't have wanted to stay here in Australia with me. And spend this cold horrible day cuddled up together, listening to the rain and thinking about how perfect that moment would be. Because hell, she was a storm and I was drizzle.

a.n: holla I updated! okay before I say anything else, that last line is like John Green's Looking For Alaska but I changed it around so it's not plagiarizing or whatever you call it. the original line is "if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane" which is so much better but yeah. anyways, this was short but I hoped you liked it. tell me what you think in the comments! comment/vote! :-)
