Negative Space (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 8 - Rush Week

June's POV

"I am never drinking again." Ashton whined as he was sitting at the dining room, drinking his fourth glass of water since he woke up.

I chuckled, "You say that every time you have this hell of a hangover yet you still drink. You never learn." I didn't drink that much last night because I know I'll be looking over Ashton but what I didn't know was that I'll also be looking over my boyfriend.

Speaking of boyfriend, Calum still hasn't woken up and it's already noon.

After we came back down, he had another round of drinks with some guys at the party and I never saw him again until Jackson literally had to carry him back to us.

Jackson said he's had too much to drink playing beerpong and Calum being drunk, he began being really horny, trying to hump him but kept on saying my name.

Apparently, Jackson got scared and immediately brought Calum to me.

I can't wait to see the look on Calum's face when I tell him what happened. Or should I not tell him? Meh, I'll tell him. It'll be hilarious.

"Yeah well say that to your boyfriend who's fucking wasted by the front door."

I couldn't bring Calum back to his room because he kept on insisting that he wanted to stay with Luke.

By Luke, I meant the tall ass plant by the front door.

I laughed out loud at the memory of last night. I brought him a pillow and a blanket instead and Ashton slept on the couch.

"I've never seen him that drunk before, have you?" Ashton wondered and I shook my head. He's been drunk around me before but never that drunk, not to the point that he'll mistakenly think a tall plant is Luke.

"June." I heard Calum groan from the living room so I instantly walked over to where he was, taking Ashton's glass of water with me.

He slowly sat up, hands on his head, probably aching. I crouched down so I was eye level with him.

"Hang over sucks, huh?" I handed him the glass of water and he immediately took it, downing it in one go.

"Advil? Is there any Advil?" He tried to stand up but failed to successfully do so without my help. "I was going to go out to buy more because Ashton took the last two."

"Ashton? Why is he here? And why the fuck am I here?" He drank in his surroundings, the blanket and the pillow on the floor.

I tried to stifle a laugh but he caught on, glaring at me as if forcing me to tell what's happening. "You slept on the floor." I briefly answered.

He looked at me confused, "You were able to bring me home but couldn't take me to my room? Or at least your room?"

I looked at him in dismay. I was the one who was kind enough to bring him home yet he still managed to blame everything on me.

"Sorry, it's the hang over talking." What the hell does that even mean?

He furrowed his eyes and gently pushed my hair away from my shoulder and smirked, "Never ever cover that up." I quickly snatched my hair and hid it. I will definitely cover it up.

"You didn't answer my question, why was I here in the living room?"

"You insisted on sleeping beside Luke." I tried to cover my laugh but it was no use because seconds later, I bursted out laughing.

"I don't get it." Calum shook his head and started walking to the kitchen, bumping into Ashton.

"Hey man, you stayed the night?" Ashton nodded and when he saw my expression, he instantly laughed, too.
