My Drummer Boy (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 20

*Recap*

"What? Did I do something?" He looked like he was about to cry.

"No! God, no. I just, I don't know. I'll call you tomorrow ok?"

"Ok.." With that, he stood up and left. He picked up his shoes and walked out the door to his car. I stayed where I was, lying on the ground. I began to cry. Why do I always stuff things up? I was finally getting what I had been waiting for and I messed it up!

I pulled out my phone and called the one person I could trust. She answered on the third ring and I sighed in relief.

"Alex, yeah it's me; Millie. I need your advice."

*End of Recap*

After I called Alex I sat on my bed and stared into my full body mirror. I decided to get up and have a shower, maybe it would wash away all the guilt I had layered on my shoulders.

I stepped out of the shower and got dressed into my pink fluffy pyjamas. I laid on my bed and closed my eyes for a bit, I sighed and grabbed my phone off the iPod doc. I scrolled through my contacts like I had done previously that night.

Alex had helped me but I didn't really feel like what she said related to my problem as much. I kept scrolling and came to a contact that I thought might help. My finger hovered over the contact before I pressed down on the call button.

I had only spoken to her a few times before this and I had gotten her number off Calum for shits and gigs so I don't know why I was calling her. I'm just praying that she can help.

*Kathy's POV*

The taxi pulled up in front of the house and I almost gagged, being reminded of the times I spent with my "mother" here.

"C'mon Addy." I smiled softly and picked her baggage up out of the boot of the cab. I placed it on the sidewalk and continued to retrieve my own luggage. Addy slowly walked out of the car, gripping onto a stuffed monkey. Ashton bought it for her before her surgery. She doesn't know about Ashton and I's 'incident' and I plan to keep it that way. Until she asks of course.

We had emptied our clothes into our rooms and had packed everything away and we were watching Red Dog, I hate the movie, while eating a whole lot of junk when my phone rang.

I glanced at the caller ID and was immediately confused.

Calum's Millie

Flashed on the screen of my crappy iPhone 3. Calum had put her number in there a while ago when I met her for the first time in the lobby, and I assume that's why he put Calum's Millie in there. Even though I don't know any other Millie's.

"I'll be back in a minute Addy, I gotta take this." I whispered. She didn't seem to upset, she was too caught up in the movie to notice. I walked out of the room and walked up the stairs into my room.

"Hello?" I asked, still confused as to why she was calling me.

"Hi Kathy it's Millie." She spoke nervously into the phone.

"I know, I have your number. Calum put it under Calum's Millie." I snickered, I know they have something going on.

"Oh, erm about that..." She trailed off, awkwardly laughing.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to say anything oh my gosh why do I alw-"

"Kathy! Calm down. I need your advice if that's ok." I sighed and calmed myself down.

"Yeah of course, go ahead." I spoke calmly.

"Well uhm I think I have a crush on Calum and-"

"I KNEW IT!" I stated triumphantly, grinning to myself.
