Faded // Calum Hood (under editing)

[un-edited]

. . . .

I almost threw my phone out the window when the alarm started going off.

Almost.

I'm not in the mood to go to school , not in the mood at all.

I didn't get to take my nap yesterday because Michael just had to ask me to come help him babysit.

but I forced myself out of bed and got myself ready for school.

I was not ready to fail school over a nap that I didn't get to take.

∆∆∆

When I got to school , I almost didn't want to leave my brother's car , but I knew that if someone saw me with him he would hat me more than he already does.

and I don't think I'm ready for that.

I got out of the car almost tripping over my shoelaces that I don't realize were untied.

No one else was here and the school wasn't even open yet so I had to sit on the stairs and wait.

I was not about to just stand outside.

It's too early in the morning for that.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and plugged my earphones in and put them in my ears .

I almost chopped a bitch in the throat when they snatched my earphones out , until I realized it was Michael.

"oh , hey Mikey. "

"I don't understand why your brother can't just come to school at anornal time , it's not like it's gonna kill him to be seen with his own sister. "

"I think it just might , he'd probably have a heart attack because I ruined his reputation. "

"you're brother is so stupid , you can't ruin your reputation by being related to someone " , he looked so confused and itrritated at the same time .

I had opposite views on that , I mean , Michael had friends , lots of them before he became my friend and then everyone saw him with me and they just stopped talking to him all together.

Sometimes I wondered if it bothered him .

Michael snapped his fingers in front of my face , snapping me out of my thoughts. "earth to Cara "

"oh , um sorry , I zoned out , I was just thinking "

"what were you thinking about ?"

I guess now was a good time to find out.

"Does it ever bother you tha-"

The bell rang , cutting me off. Me and Michael were still standing outside the school and the tardy bell just rang.

When did the first one even ring ?

Michael held his hand out to help me up.

I guess I would just have to ask my question later.

We walked slow , there was no point in rushing to class now , we were already late as it is.

"does what bother me ?" , Michael stopped walking.

"what ? "

"you were gonna ask me if something bothered me , does what bother me ?"

I played with my fingers , "Does it bother you knowing that you lost all your friends because of me ?"

Michael stared at me for a minute and I couldn't tell what he was thinking .

Suddenly the floor became the most interesting thing In the world.

"Cara "

I looked at him .

"they obviously won't my friend if they stopped associating with me over someone that I'm friends with. "

"it doesn't bother you ?"

"no "

I was smiling , but it faded when I heard the devil reincarnated himself , "yes , it does . he's told me it does . "

Does Calum always have to come and ruin my day.

I'm always happy until he or Luke or Ashton comes around and then my happiness just fades.

and every time , I lose a little of my happiness , happiness I won't get back , they're gonna be the reason I become a bitter old women.

because everytime they come around my happiness gets more and more faded.

hey hey hey , new chapter ...probably gonna write another one later ..that has lots and lots of Calum in it and a vv drunk Cara ...so be looking forward to that. I might not post it till tomorrow though but yea.

also , Cara's brother isn't really mentioned in the story because 1.)he doesn't like being seen with her 2.)he's never home 3.)he's in a complete different grade than her. 4.)he's annoying and I dont wan to write about him . but there will be a chapter with just him and Cara , so yea , he will be coning into the story a lot more vv soon.

thank you so much for reading my story ..I love y'all lots .

ok , bye now.
