Victoria's P.O.V

I woke up to the ringing bell, blasting from Calum's black iPhone 5s. Calum doesn't even budge out of his spot, he continues to peacefully sleep as his phone basically has a heart attack.

I push Calum's muscular arm off of me, not even caring if I wake him up. He groans and flips over. He literally sleeps like a baby, I'm sure any second he'll start sucking his thumb.

I turn off the alarm clock and stretch out my arms. I slowly bend backwards, my back popping as I go farther. Calum's bed isn't exactly the most comfortable bed in the world.

Slowly making my way to the mirror, I notice I'm not in my clothes. I'm wearing a big blue tshirt, which I assume is Calum's, and shorts that go a little too far up my bum.

Turning back around to check if Calum's asleep, I'm not shocked when he's still sleeping peacefully under his huge comforter.

Last night Calum told me he loves me, and that still seems like it was a dream. Had he really liked me for 10 months before he asked me out? Or is this just another sick game of his to get me in bed then leave me? You can never be too sure when it comes to Calum Thomas Hood. He's very good at manipulating girls into doing what he wants.

I shake my head at the terrible thoughts I'm having about my boyfriend, and head for the door to shower.

"Can I join?" I jump when Calum's voice interrupts the silence. I look over my shoulder and his eyes are still closed, clinging close to his pillow.

"How'd you know I was going to shower?"

"Didn't, but now I do. So, I'll repeat, can I join?" His eyes stay closed but he smirks. His morning voice is something I definitely wouldn't mind hearing every morning. It's deep, deeper than normal, and very raspy.

"No, you can't." I reply with a light giggle.

"C'mon Victoria, I saw you naked last night, why can't I shower with you?"

His last sentence stuns me, what the hell does he mean he saw me naked? Did something happen and I don't remember?

Did he take advantage of me?

Tears surface in my eyes and I'm thankful he still has his closed.

"Calum, what do you mean you saw me naked?" My voice is shaky and that's when his eyes shoot open and dart to me. "Did something happen between us that I wasn't aware of?"

Calum looks disgusted at me, and sighs right after.

"Are you thinking I raped you? Hell, Victoria. You got undressed to dress into my clothes after you woke up sweating. You seriously thought that about me. Wow."

His voice is full of hurt and my heart drops. I cannot believe I just accused the one boy who's actually given a shit about me, of raping me. I can't believe that thought even crossed my mind!

"No, I just got a little scar-" Calum shakes his head and stands up, handing me my clothes and shoes then pointing towards the door.

"Call me when you think of me a little better."

Tomorrow is Monday and we finally go back to school. We've had at least a week off because my schools electricity hasn't been working. Honestly, I'm not that excited. The whole school is gonna find out about Calum and I, which will most definitely make me the most hated girl in school. Calum and Michael are known as the two most wanted guys in school, but since Michael was already taken, every girl and the occasional guy went after Calum.

Calum.

I need to talk to him but the argument that happened between us took place only an hour ago. I've found out whenever Calum and I argue, things don't turn out too well.

I pick up my phone, hoping I have any kind of contact from him. Of course with my luck, the only notification I have is from my aunt trying to get me to play FarmVille with her.

I hear the front door open and I'm shocked when my mum walks in, it's 10 and she's already home? She's never home.

"Why are you home so early?" I question.

"Glad to see you too, dear." My mum says with a sarcastic tone. "I got off early today, I thought we would spend some time together."

I nod as she sets down her purse on the coffee table in front of my feet. Her tiny figure sits down beside me, making it slightly uncomfortable for the both of us.

"So, tell me things." She urges and I laugh, a real genuine laugh.

"Well, uhh my grades in school are good, that's about it." She gives me a skeptical look and grins.

"And how are you and this Calum fellow? You guys have been spending an awful lot of time together." I debate if I should tell her about Calum and I, not ready to hear the "oh my gosh you have a boyfriend!" speech.

But, what's the worse that could happen?

"Oh uh, he's my boyfriend now? No big deal, how was work?"

Her mouth drops open and I close my eyes, slowly opening one to look at her.

"Tori! Tell me everything!" she insists.

"My gosh, mum you sound like a 14 year old girl. Basically this is how it started-" and I begin from the night of the party.

--

"--we're just not on the same page right now."

I tell her everything, leaving out some sexual bits, Calum's past, and also the reason why Calum and I fought two hours ago.

"Talk to him, honey. He sounds like he really likes you, you don't wanna lose him so quick into the relationship."

I agree. She's completely right. It was wrong of me to think of him so harshly, to even consider he would think about harming me like that. At least, it seems like he wouldn't.

"I'll talk to him later, I'm gonna give him some time for now." My mum nods, understanding my reason in holding off talking to him.

For once it feels like I have my mum back in my life, and it feels amazing.
