Guilt // C.H.

Chapter 16: Calum

(Calum's POV)

Amber was supposed to leave but when I came home, Luke, Ash and Mike were getting ready to go out, so she stayed with me.

We weren't talking a lot, we were just sitting next to each other on the couch, but I was still thankful she didn't leave me alone.

"Hey, do you need something?" She asked.

"No, I'm okay." I whispered.

"No, you're not." She said.

She moved closer to me and hugged me laying her head on my shoulder.

"I don't know what's going on between you guys."

I looked at her. "Neither do I."

"You know, I feel a little bit guilty, I mean, I knew she used to like you and I told her you're cute and nice anyway." She shrugged.

"You think I'm cute and nice?" I asked.

"Oh! Well, um... yes, kind of..." She mumbled.

"That's so cheesy, Amber." I smiled.

"YES! I made you smile, yay!" She jumped off the couch.

"Calm down, calm down." I said.

And after that we started talking about different topics, not even important things. I saw another side of Amber, although her fangirl side popped out a few times during our conversation.

Maybe she's not so boring as I thought...

I'm gonna visit Hannah again tomorrow and then we'll see what's gonna happen.

"Oh sorry, my phone's ringing." Amber said. "Hello?"

"Miss Green? It's dr Wells, I'm calling about Hannah..." A worried voice spoke.

"Yes?"

"She um... we found her trying to kill herself with a big amount of painkiller pills."

"Holy shit!! Is she okay? Did you help her?"

"We tried our best but she's not really good right now. What problems does she have? Depression?"

"Dr Wells, I don't know what to say. She's not talking to me as much as she did earlier. I am so confused. That's not the Hannah I met."

"I understand."

"Can we come over to see her?"

"She's sleeping and even if she wakes up we're not sure she's emotionally stable to handle visits."

"Oh."

"We will re-call you tomorrow. Please call her parents. This is serious."

Amber was shaking more and more after every word dr Wells would say.

After the phone call ended I got up and stood in front of her.

"Don't cry, Amber."

"It's all my fault."

"It's not."

"It is, Cal. I messed up something and it's really bad. But I still don't get it what's that something."

I had a bad feeling about this, and I felt like Amber was really guilty for this and I was too, as well. But I had no idea what could it be.

"Who are you calling?" I asked.

"Hello. Is there Mr or Mrs Scott?" She spoke to her phone without answering me.

"Greetings. It's her. And you are?"

"Mrs Scott, I'm Amber Green. I'm your daughter's roomate and I'm calling you because she's in hospital."

"What did she do?!"

"We don't know the cause but she tried to... t-tried to kill herself."

"Oh, I see."

"Could you come here?"

"Well, we're busy at the moment, you know, our son Patrick has just won the..."

"I'm sorry, did it sound like a question? GET ON A FREAKING PLANE AND COME HERE, YOUR DAUGHTER ALMOST DIED FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"I understand."

"Well I hope you do."

"I'm going to call you later, okay... Amber, right?"

"Yes. And hurry!"

And the call ended.

"Can you believe this? Hannah never told me her parents were so shitty." Amber yelled.

"Amber, calm. You called them, now it's up to them. Calm down." I pat her on her shoulder.

I had a new theory in my mind. Maybe Hannah had parent problems. Might be...

Later we visited Hannah, but she was sleeping. Amber wanted to stay but the doctor didn't let her. I walked with her to her apartment.

"Sorry, it's a mess." She mumbled.

"It's okay." I said.

I remembered the first time I was here. When Hannah was shocked to see me. What changed? What could happen?

"I gotta go now. The lads are probably back home." I said.

"Fine. Thanks for... you know, not leaving me alone." She tried to smile but she couldn't.

"Come over tomorrow if you wanna. Or call me." I added.

She just nodded and I left.
