Off Limits [5SOS]

Sick Day

CALUM'S POV:
"Well, I mean I'm better now." Luke responded, eyes glued to the FIFA World Cup on the tv.
"Did you like throw-up sick or?" I tried to pry answers out of him like teeth. "Eh, headache, tired, I am all good now okay?" He replied and took a swig of his water. "Good, cause the guys and I were going to a club tonight, to just hang, cause you weren't there last night and Jules was." I said switching the channel when the commercials started to roll. "Jules!" Luke mocked. "How is you hopeless love for her coming along?" He laughed nudging the hand I had the remote in. "Well...she,uh. Ben got mad because of this picture." I held up my lock screen with the picture of me and Jules. "Tough. You kissed on the cheek I see." He pointed out and grabbed the remote from me switching it back to the futbol game. "Yeah.Yeah. Ben still is her boyfriend, not me. Can't do much about that. Besides what about you and Hayden?" I asked, they looked like they were a couple, but Luke would tell me this stuff.
"I'd say she is warming up to me." He chuckled with a smirk. "Whatever that means!" I laugh and get up grabbing my phone off the table and texting Michael and Ashton.
'Luke is up for it. 8 it is!' I sent the message and sat down once again.
'Cool, this is gonna get crazy!' Michael replied minutes later.
'I will drive!' Ashton replied as well. "Cool." Luke says after I tell him the replies of all the people. He looks down at his phone and smiles wide.
"Whatcha lookin at?" I lean over to try and get a look at his screen but he pulled away to quickly.
"Nothing." He turns off his phone and grabs the remote from my hand. He starts looking through channels. I whip out my phone and texts Jules.
'How are you doing?' I text waiting for a reply.
'Please don't text me today. Ben is over. Sorry :((( '
I frown while reading it.
"Ben is a buttmunch." I groan out loud and rest my head on the back of the couch.
"What is it this time?" Luke turns the channel back to The football game.
"Jules can't text me when he is over now. God, I hate him so much. I just want to-"
"Calm down man." Luke sets down my hands, I didn't even realize I had them in a strangling position.
"Cal, find a way to win her." Luke pats my thigh and stands up from the couch. "I'm going to go get ready. See you at Eight.' He walks out of the room and I hear a door opening and getting slammed shut. The words kept repeating in my head. "Win the girl."
*8:13*
"Dude! This club is going to rock." Ashton said happily as we all slid out of the car and into the club. There was smoke swirling in the air and tons of sweaty bodies dancing on the lit up floor.
"Badass." Michael commented walking up to the bar. "4 specialties." He ordered randomly. The bar tender slid us the drinks and I took a gulp.
"Damn it." Luke said making a twisted face.
"Strong." Ash giggled taking a gulp. "Dude, look at those." Michael points to three blondes dancing by the DJ table. "Damn." Ashton says. Michael walks over to one confidently and taps her shoulder. She gives him a strange look and laughs at him. He turns on his heal and stomps back to us. "It's the hair..." I joked about his colourful hair. He stuck his tongue out and downed his drink angrily. "Want to do shots?" Luke asked. "Hell ya." We all say at once. We took many shots, I lost count. We all made out way to the dance floor and danced with random girls. Everything got hazy after that...
JULIET'S POV:
"Your just a little bit-" I heard my new ringtone blare in the quietness of my room.
"Ben..." I mumbled against his lips. Sliding his hands off my hips and getting off my bed.
"Babe..." He moaned. "One sec." I said answering the phone, without looking at the caller ID.
"Hey JuLeS!" I heard Calum partly yell/talk on the other line.
"Cal?" I whispered into the receiver and turned on my bedroom lights, squinting.
Ben laid on my bed squinting and shirtless. I motioned that the call was important and slipped into the hallway.
"YAH. ThIs iS CaLuM. THOMASSSS HOOOOODDD!" He yelled into the phone making me hold it away from my ear.
"Cal... are you drunk?" I asked sternly.
"No. I told you I am Calum. Not drunk."He chuckled slurring his words.
"Where are you?" I asked. "That new club!" He says happily on the other line. "Where is Ash and the guys?" I said pacing the length of the hallway.
"At Michael's Crashed. I told them to leave me here!" He giggled.
I heard muffled voices in the background and loud music still playing. "I'm-" I started but was cut off. "Jules. I need to tell you a secret." I heard Calum whisper on the other line like he was actually whispering into my ear. "What?" I said annoyed at his drunk mess. "I love you." He laughed and paused a while. "Like I really do. I wish you weren't dating the douchepants Ben." He says quietly.
"Cal, you are drunk. I'm coming to get you." I said thinking nothing of what he just said. He is drunk, people say weird things they don't mean when they are drunk.
I quickly hang up and rush back into my room.
"Babe, you have to leave I'm sorry." I tell Ben throwing on a random shirt.
"But we were just-"
"I know we can finish that later. Put your clothes on and leave when I leave." I throw his shirt at him and grab my parents car keys. I have my permit, and Ashton took his car or I would be using his.
"OK, what is this about anyway?" He asks his head slipping through his shirt while bending down to put his shoes on.
"Um. My aunt, the one that's like mental. Yeah, she's in the hospital and my mom wants me to come pick her up because she takes the bus to work." I slip on my shoes and open to the door.
"Let's go! let's go!" I yell basically shoving Ben out the door.
"See you later babe." He pecks my lips and walks to his car.
"See you later." I mumble and slam my car door shut. I remember where the bar is because it's right down the street from the library. I drive anxiously. I finally arrive and see the huge line to get in. I heavily sigh and walk up to the huge body guard.
"Can I help you?" He turns and towers over me. I look up and really quickly look at his clipboard which is showing a handful of names. The first name I catch is Emma Depora.
"Yeah. I'm Emma Depora and I'm on the list. " I point to his clipboard and he slides his pen down until he reaches Emma. He glances at me then tells me to go in. When I first walk in, the only thing I see, is smoke.
"Great." I mumble squinting.
"Looking for someone?" The bartender asks shaking liquid in a silver container.
"Actually yeah. Um, he's really drunk, about 6 foot 3-" the bartender then interrupts me.
"Is he the Asian one?" He asks pointing to Calum crazily dancing in the middle of the dance floor.
"Thanks! By the way, he's kiwi, not Asian." I laugh and push through all of the sweaty bodies to get to Calum.
"Calum! Let's go home!" I yell over the blaring music. I start to pull on his arm and he pulls away.
"But Ju-Ju. I'm having fun!" He pouts and stomps his foot like a child. He swerves to the right almost falling to the ground.
"No Cal, you have to get some sleep." I start pulling on his hand and we make it out of all of the bodies. He leans on me for support as we make our way out the door and to the car.
"Pwease don't take me to Mikey's..." He looks at me with puppy dog eyes and I nod my head.
"OK I won't." I open my car door and get him situated before closing the door. I walk around to my side and sit in my seat turning on the engine.Calum immediately started to push buttons, turning the radio on an off, switching stations. "And LIVE WHILE WE ARE YOUNGGG!!!" He screamed dancing crazily in his seat to One Direction. I roll my eyes laughing at his drunkness. "Cal, how many drinks did you have!" I laugh when he starts to bounce in his seat to a slow song playing on the radio. "I don't know?!?!?! " He laughed taking one of my hands. "Dance with me, beautiful Juliet. Let me be your Romeo!!" Calum proclaimed swinging my hand in his. "Calum!" I squeal swerving the car a bit. "I need to drive!" I say unlatching my hand from his sweaty palms.
"But...I just want to partayyyy!" He complained undoing his seatbelt. "God Cal, buckle up." I ordered, stoping at a red light. "WHY!?It is so constri-constric-con!"He stumbles. "Constricting?"I help him out,he nods and smiles. Calum laughs randomly taking off his shoes and slipping his hands into them. "Oh my god..." I mumbled to myself as I made my way into the garage. "Home Sweet Home!" Calum raised one arm as we walked in my front door. I led him into the kitchen and grabbed some crackers. "No throwing up. Eat these!" I say handing him the food and a bottle of water.
"Ugh. FINE MOM!" He said stumbling then leaning against me. We sat down and I let Calum slowly eat what was left of the crackers as I pulled my phone out of my back pocket.
'Finish what we started tomorrow night, my place?' Ben's text message read.
'Of course;)xx' I replied and set my phone down. "DONE!" Calum smiled sliding the trash my way. "Do I look like your maid?" I raise my eyebrow crossing my arms. "Yes, and a sexy one at that." Calum winked. I scoffed and took the trash, throwing it in the can. Calum smacked my ass on the way back.
"Excuse you." I said appalled. "Sorry." He smirked innocently. "God you are so wasted." I laughed and guided him upstairs. "I guess you have to stay in my room." I sighed and sat on my bed. Calum started to pull down his pants. "Woah!" I said caught off-guard. "Chillax," he said leaving himself in boxers and a T. He stumbled to my bed and laid down on his back. "Woah. Why is everything spinning?" He giggled watching my ceiling fan spin in circles. "Once again Cal, you are drunk."
I slid in to bed next to him and turned out my light. "Get some rest, your head is going to hurt like hell in the morning." I said. Cal wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in tight. "Thank you so much Juliet Rose Irwin." He whispered quietly. "Yeah.Yeah. How do you know my middle name?" I laugh, Calum just sighed and closed his eyes. It was silent for about 5 minutes. My eyes were heavy,and I was slowly drifting off. "I really want to fuck you right now." Calum sighed like what he said was normal. My eyes snapped open and I laughed at his comment. "You wish..." I joked. With that I slowly fell asleep.
I wake up around 10:30 the next morning. I lazily rub my eyes and stretch my arm out only to hit someone in the face. I look over and see its Calum, damn, I forgot. I throw my side of the covers over him and make my way downstairs. I grab an advil and water.
"Do you have a headache or something?" I hear from behind me and jump spilling the water on my shirt. I turn to see it id Ashton.
"Uh yeah so I'm probably going to be in my room for the day. So good morning and good night. " I kiss him on the cheek and speed walk upstairs, making my way into my room. I shut the door behind me with my hip. I turn and walk towards my bed seeing there is no one under the covers.
"What the hell. He was just here..." I mumble placing the glass of water and the advil on my desk. I hear a door open and turn towards my bathroom door. Standing there is a shirtless Calum. His towel is hanging low on his hips so you can see his v-line. I gawk at his muscles, it probably looks like I'm drooling.
"Jules.." He waves his hand in front of my face.
"I got you advil. For hangover. Because you were really drunk. And Yeah." I try to put my words together but it comes out jumbled.
"OK. Thanks." He throws the advil in his mouth and chugs the water down in two gulps.
"You should probably get dressed." I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly blushing.
"Oh yeah...I always forget I'm not wearing clothes. Be right back." He runs into the bathroom with his clothes from last night and shuts the door. I breathe heavily and plop down on my bed. He comes out of the bathroom and lays face down on my bed.
"The pain." He mumbles into my pillow. I laugh and sit crossed- legged facing him.
"You were so weird last night. You probably don't remember any of it." I chuckle recalling what he said last night.
"Oh god.. What did I do?" He turns on his back.
"Well, first you called me when you were at the club, I was in the middle of talking and you told me you needed to tell me a secret. Then you told me you loved me."
I start cracking up and his eyes go wide.
"Ok so after.." I explain everything that happened in the car.
"And when we got home you took off your pants and I thought you were stripping. After we finally laid down you told me you wanted to fuck me." I start laughing even harder and he sits up.
"I really said that?" He asks in disbelief.
"Yep." I nod my head yes.
"Gosh, that is sad. I don't remember any of it." Calum laughs rubbing the back of his neck. "That is what getting drunk does to you!" I laugh getting up and going to a cabinet next to my tv, pulling out a box of cereal and two paper bowls. "Breakfast anyone?" I say sitting back on my bed and pouring the cereal into the two bowls.
"You keep cereal in your room?" Calum questions watching me pour the cereal and I hand one to him. "Don't you?" I joke. "Ash eats so much so my mum buys us some stuff only we are aloud to eat, then we keep it in our rooms, if it isn't it is fair game." I explain and grab two plastic spoons from a drawer beside me. "I keep stuff in very convenient places." I playfully wink. "But you are going to have to eat it dry, no mini fridge...yet." I spoon some cereal into my mouth and turn on my tv. "Netflix?" I ask turning on the gaming console with the cord free remote. "Sure." Calum stuffs a mouthful of the food into his mouth, chewing slowly.
"Hmm...what to watch..." I scroll through shows and movies, until I land on American Horror Story.
I look over at Calum who is already looking at me with beaming eyes, nodding. I click episode one and let it play. I set down our empty bowls on the nightstand, and grab a blanket from the bottom of my bed laying it over us both. Calum puts his arm around me, bringing me to his chest. We sit still after that watching the show.
"What the fuck? Is he fapping?" I comment holding a laugh.
"I believe so...but don't talk so loud." Calum laughs and cringes at the same time.
"Oh...sorry." I whisper and reach, giving him a kiss on the cheek. I feel a blush creep its way onto my cheek as Calum looks at me smiling, his cheeks bright red as well. "Cal. I'm bored." I state slithering out of his arms, sitting across from him.
"Well we can go downstairs-"
"Nope. Ashton is down there and I told him I was sick so I would be up here all day.' I stand up searching around my room for something to do.
"We can... " he trails of looking around my room. "Gosh, your room is boring." He picks up my alarm clock toying with it.
"Stop that." I push it out of his hand making it slam to the ground. It starts blaring out of my limit.
"Is this your alarm every morning?!" He screams as the music stops. I jump on the bed and shove my hand over his mouth. I'm straddling him staying as quiet as possible.
"Jules are you okay?!" I hear Ashton yelling and feet pounding up the stairs.
"Get under the covers!" I whisper yell and he quickly shoves his body under the covers. I slip under the covers as well and lay my head on my pillow as quickly as I can. Ashton pops his head in my room seconds later.
"Jules?" He opens my door all the way so he can fit through the door.
"Yeah...." I moan making it sounds like I'm in pain.
"Are those Calum's shoes?" He points to the black vans on the ground next to the bathroom door.
"No. They're bens." I quickly come up with a different guy that has been in my room.
"When was Ben here?!" He raises his voice.
"Can we talk about this later. I need sleep. " I ask him turning on my side placing my hand on Calum's hair.
"Yeah I guess." He sighs. I twirl Calum's hair between my fingers as Ashton closes the door.
"You can come out now." Calum slowly pops his head out from under the covers.
"Can you keep playing with my hair.? It made my headache go away." He asks with his bottom lip sticking out.
"Yeah. " I laugh and put my one hand in his hair twirling it as I watch the movie that is on tv.
We watched the movie on TV, which was extremely boring and a cliché one. "This movie sucks." Calum said sitting up a bit more, I didn't stop playing with his hair of course. "Want to go to my balcony?" I suggest letting go of his hair, which made him pout. "Sure." He got up slowly. "Ugh...my head." He rubbed his temples. "C'mon!" I laughed taking his hand out to my balcony. I had two small lawn chairs set up and a small glass table out there. I sat down in the white chair as Calum sat in the green one across from me. I rub my nose and sneeze, Calum looks up at me, smiling. "That's a cute sneeze." He comments. I raise my eyebrow,"Is that even possible?" He shakes his head and smirks, "apparently." I roll my eyes and sneeze again. He smiles at me again, which causes my cheeks to heat up. "Allergies..." I trail off. "Especially with this giant tree!" Calum looks up at the tree towering over my house. "This tree is great though." I laugh. "Still today, but mostly when i was younger, I would climb up the tree from here, and hang from branches." I chuckle remembering all those great times.
Calum looked at me shaking his head. "What?" I question. "Nothing..." He smirks. "Whatever. Well one day, on the lower branches, Ash and I were seeing who could climb faster... I was ahead, and him being a complete idiot pulls my leg, causing me to fall out of the tree and break my arm." I get up and start to climb the tree. "But I still climb it!" I laugh hanging upside down. "Be careful!" Cal stands up and looks up at me with worried eyes. I sit up on the branch then hop onto my roof. "I also come up here a lot, to think, read. Very private." I laugh I slide down the side and hang my legs over the gutters. "Either catch me or move." I giggle. Calum doesn't move, he just holds out his arms smirking. I jump down and he catches me by the hips. "Why thank you." I look up into his eyes. His hands still resting on my hips, and my hand on his shoulders. We look at each other and Calum cracks a smile.
"Hi." I whisper.
"Hi." He whispers back and kisses my nose. I blush and bury my head in his neck.
"Hey Calum?" I mumble into his neck.
"Yeah?" He pulls me closer to his body.
"Thanks for being here for me, whenever I need you, you always catch me. Literally." I laugh and unlatch myself from him. Calum sighs and walks back into my room laying down on my bed.
"Why'd you do that?" I ask laying my head on his chest.
"Do what?" He asks resting His hand on my side. I imitate his sigh, "Okay, i did not do that." He laughs and i feel the vibration and smile."I may have over exaggerated just a little..." I shrug and turn so I'm facing his face.
"Are you kidding?" He raises his head and chuckles.
"Let's play Apples to Apples." I state randomly and get up from the bed walking over to my desk. I pull out the red box and place it on my bed.
"How do you play this again? I haven't played in so long." He grabs red cards and starts shuffling them.
"Well the way I play it is we place a green adjective card in the middle and we have 7 red cards. The one that is funniest wins that card." I explain handing out 7 cards to both of us.
"OK, first card is..sexy." Calum places the card in between us and I look through the cards I have. I have, cactus, your mom, weddings, Oprah Winfrey, your ex, hippopotamus, and a random guy whose name I can't even pronounce. So I went with the obvious one, your mom. I laugh silently as I put my card face down in the middle, I didn't even realize he put his down already.
"Okay I was the dealer, so I get to pick which one is funnier." I'm obviously going to pick mine.
"Yours is... Swimsuit models." I face palm myself and laugh a little. "What? Its true!" He argues picking up another red card to replace the one he just put down.
"your is probably not any better.." He mumbles and I hand him my card. He looks at it and his eyes go wide. I burst out laughing, practically falling off the bed.
"Dude. You Are messed up." He shakes his head.
"I won so I get this." Calum starts picking up the green card when I reach out for it.
"No, I won." I counter back.
"No. I did."
"No. I did."
"I did!"
"No! I did!"
We pull the card back and forth until he let's go and I fall backwards of my bed. I rub my head and moan, it didn't hurt that bad, but I want to win this card!
"Oh my god are you okay?" He jumps up from the bed and sits next to me. I see the card laying there on my right.
"Cal, because I'm hurt, can I have the card?" I fake sniffle and tear up, making it look like I'm really hurt.
"Yeah of course! I'm so sorry." He rubs my head.
"Its alright I'm good! Thanks for the card!" I jump back up clutching the card in my hand.
"Cmon, let's play!" I wave him towards my bed. He sits on the floor his mouth agape.
"You cheater!" He stands up hovering over me.
"No, its called acting sweetie. " I pinch his cheeks and motion for him to sit down again.
"Next card...is repulsive." I start placing the card in the middle of us. " Hmm. Where is my Calum Hood card?" I question laughing a bit. "Hey!" He holds his heart acting offended. I laugh and put down the 'your ex' card.
"I get to choose now!" Calum happily picked up the pile and flipped the cars over, examining each choice. "A big toe...and your ex." He says. "I won!" He picked up the card. "What! I did! Everyone disgusts their ex." I retort taking the card. "Nooo." He takes it back.
"This isn't working, we need more people." I slump down, my forehead resting on his shoulder.
"I could of told you that!" He laughs cleaning up the cards. "Well...I'm just trying to make the most of having to stay in my room." I lay down on my back and stare at the ceiling.
"I should paint something on my ceiling." I say thoughtfully.
"That would be cool, maybe the galaxy." He suggests.
"Hipster much?" I giggle. Calum turns and wraps his arms around me and pulls me on top of him. "What did you call me?" He tries to sound tough but fails miserably when we both break out into a fit of giggles.
"A Hipster." I sass looking at him.
Our face are inches apart, too close for comfort, 'You have a boyfriend.' I mentally get myself in check and roll off of Calum.
"Umm..." I break the awkward silence and dig through my brain to find something else to do.
"You are right...my room is boring." I sit up looking around for anything seemingly interesting. I decided to put on some music just to kill the everlasting silence of my room. Boulevard of Broken Dreams started playing, and I sang along while sifting through drawers to find a semi-fun activity.
"Nice taste in music." Calum smiles singing along with the music as well. I smile in response and continue on what was at hand.
"Favourite Blink song?" He asks out of the blue.
I consider all the options and say, "After Midnight, you?"
"I Miss You...Luke,Michael and I did a cover a while back, and it is on youtube actually" He replied immediately.
I nodded my head, " Favourite Green Day song? Mine is American Idiot."
"Same."
" Sleeping with Sirens?" He asks.
" If you can't hang." I reply, ironically that is the next song that started to play. Calum nodded but didn't answer, he continued to watch the ceiling,blank and unmoving.
"I give up! Wanna play FIFA?" I said grabbing two controllers.
"YES. Why didn't you suggest this first!" He laughs grabbing a controller from my hand. I sat down next to him and picked my team.
"U.S.?" He laughs mockingly.
"I'm going for the underdogs! What can I say." I choice the blue uniform and Cal picks England in their white outfit.
* 3 hours later.*
"Yes! That is three in a row!" I stand on my bed and jump around.
"Shut up...I let you win." Calum said looking down at his controller. "Yeah right." I sit back down. and Calum pulls me to him by my waist.
"Whatever, you barely one." He indicated with his fingers, and inch apart.
"What can I say, underdogs!" I laugh triumphantly.
"Movie?" I ask and switch to the TV setting.
"Sure." Calum says laying back.
I went to on demand and played one of my favourite movies, Ten inch hero with Jensen Ackles one of my favourite actors.
"Your gonna love this!" I say happily snuggling into the crook of his arm. I drifted off halfway through the movie when Jenny goes the meet the Brad Pitt looking guys but chickens out.
"Juliet."
Poke.
"Jules."
Poke.
"Ju-ju"
Poke.
"Go away." I mumble pushing whatever was poking me off the bed. I smile in satisfaction when I hear a thump and I peacefully lay my head back on my bed.
"Okay, that was mean. Apologize!" I hear and open one eye. Calum is standing there holding his arm. I sit up and lazily kiss the arm before laying down on my back.
"That works to." He sits down beside me. "I was trying to tell you that Ben was calling you." My eyes snap open to see him holding my phone.
"Oh my gosh what time is it!" I grab my phone its ___ pm. "Shit." I slam my head on my bed beside Calum. I turn on my back so I can see if he texted me. I have about 5 texts all saying pretty much the same thing.
'What the fuck.'
One.
'You chickened out didn't you.'
Two.
'I can't ever trust you.'
Three.
'I knew I should have slept with someone else.'
Four.
'Call me when you get done whatever is more important than me.'
Five.
"I am so screwed." I place my head on Calums shoulder .
"Why's that?" He tilts his head so he can get a good look at my face.
"I was supposed to go over bens." I look at Calum and his immediate response is shaking his head.
"Well, if he's mad let him be. He should realize that you are way to good for him and he should never let you go."
"Thanks. Your my best friend cal." I kiss him on the cheek and stand up. He sighs and stands up with me. "We should probably sneak you out somehow. " I go out and look over my balcony. Its a pretty far drop.
"I will be right back." I sneak out my door and head towards Ashton's room. I slowly open the door, trying to make no noise at all. I see that he has his headphones on, so we can make a little noise. I head back to my room and wave for Calum to follow behind me.
"Be quite." I put my finger over my lips indicating silence. He nods his head and starts to tip toe.
We make it down the stairs no problem. I quickly walk to the door and open it. Calum walks through it seconds later. I walk out behind him, closing the door as quietly as I can.
"Thanks for letting me spend the night here. I'll see you soon." Calum hugs me for a good ten seconds.
"See you later!" I wave him off as I walk back inside.
