I was awaken by the loud knocking on my door.

"Shaylene I'm leaving!" Eva yells as I sat up on my bed.

"The Hoods are on their way too so better get ready!"

I hate being yelled specially it's five in the morning.

Oh and Calum is staying here for a month.

Can my life get any better.

I made my bed and went to the bathroom. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, a bunch of hair sticking on different directions and I barely keep my eyes open. I look like a chewbacca basically.

After the concert in my shower, I hopped out of the bathroom and went into my closet. I decided to wear a plain white shirt and red shorts. I hated wearing those high waisted ones, because some girls "overwear" it and put it up too high causing their butts to show. I own a few though, but I wear it appropriately. I think.

I went to my vanity and blowdry my hair, I grab a few amount of hair on both sides and pinned it at the back. I place my necklace in between my fingers and rubbed it slowly. It was a necklace that my parents got me, both of the letters of their whole name engraved at the back of the circle shaped pendant and three hearts knotted together was also engraved infront. Representing my mum, dad and I. I liked it a lot.

I slip on my white converse and headed downstairs seeing Eva sorting everything she needs with her trip.

"Shaylene." She starts walking towards me. "I'll be back okay and I hope when I came back you and Calum are all good. I'm sorry for putting you in this. It's for your own good"

No it's for my worse.

I sighed and gave her a huge hug as I can hear a car door slam close. Followed by a doorbell.

"I'll get it." Eva says as she ran up to the door.

What do I do oh my god

After talking with Derick for almost it seemed like three hours, Derick went back to his car.

"I'll go now." Eva slightly smiled as she grabs her suitcase.

"Have fun." I say to her as I hugged her once more.

"Hey. No falling inlove okay? Just make up."

I don't even know if I can make up with him how would you expect me to fall inlove with him?

"Of course not!" I protested as she chuckles.

I hear the door creek open as Calum and Derick enters in.

"Calum, Shaylene. We'll leave now. You two be mature and responsible okay?" Derick states as he slightly smile.

I feel like I'm about to get executed or something.

And for the last time, Derick shot a glare at Calum. I think it was a don't-do-something-shitty look. I feel like they could understand each other by just looking at each other's eyes.

And they finally left and I was left with Calum Hood.

He flopped down on the couch and put down the bag that was slung onto his shoulders a while ago.

What now.

"Are you not gonna show me where my room is or something?" He tries complaining.

"Right." I smile.

I'll try to be nice maybe it wouldn't be as bad.

"Come on." I look at him as he grab his bag and slung it back to his shoulders.

We both went uptairs as I lead him to the guest room. I face him and he was only inches next to me and my view was his chest. Calum was unbelievably tall.

I awkwardly took a step back and looked at him. "So this is your room for the next few weeks." I say to him.

He rolled his eyes and flopped down on the bed. "Can you just go, I am tired of dealing with my dad's shit I need to rest." He says while grabbing a pillow and hugging it.

"Look, I'm trying to be nice here and if you're just gonna take advantage of it then I'm done being nice." I say a bit harshly and made my way to the door.

"Hey."

"What?" I snapped at him and turned around.

"Are you still mad?" He asks.

I felt my stomach drop. I just looked at him blankly. I really didn't know what to say and his eyes seemed it were pleading for answers but nothing came out so I just walked away and went to my room.

I closed the door gently and leaned in the door, biting my cheek trying to prevent myself from breaking down.

I am so tired of crying, I basically do that every night when I'm trying to fall asleep. I overthink and overthink a lot and I end up crying. My thoughts are drowning me and I can't fight against it.

I'm not really mad at Calum anymore. But I still want him to atleast apologize. It was not easy getting through that, I was miserable for a long time and it is not easy to forget what happened and I'm still trying to feel better.
