Love Awaits

"Calum, uhm, hi." I awkwardly take a step back and look away.

Ashton rushes to the door with a bandana on sweating, I couldn't help but stare.

"Holly! Awesome for you to join." he looks around confusingly then screams "LUKE FUCKING HEMMINGS BRING MICHAEL AND YOUR ASS HERE RIGHT NOW" he looks at me quickly after that and smiles.

I look and see a guy with lilac hair running down the hall and a blonde haired guy run not far behind him.

They seem to be having fun.

"Hi" Michael pants "I'm Michael" the boy with the lilac hair says, I see he has a eyebrow piercing too.

"Aaaannd i'm Luke fucking Hemmings" he looks at Ashton with a childish smile.

"Sorry about that" Ashton says to me.

"Guys this is Nevaeh"  he gestures me to come in.

"Hi Nevaeh, i'm Calum." he holds out his hand for me to shake it, i'm confused so I just obey.

"Uh, hi Michael, Luke and uhm, Calum." I look to Ashton.

After a few moments of silence Michael says "Well let's go practice!"

I walk beside Ashton the whole time to the garage where they practice.

Luke says into the michrophone while I take my seat on a small chair.

"This song was written by all of us, but mostly Calum" Luke says into the michrophone. 

I listen as I hear the lyrics thinking Calum mainly wrote this, I thought it was about me when they sang the lyric "Another day and i'm somewhere new. I made a promise that i'll come home soon. Bring me back, bring me back to you."  but I brushed it off.

I notice Calum looking at me during most of the song but i'm too caught up in the music to react.

The song ended and my reaction was just to cheer and smile saying that the song was amazing,

Ashton comes in for a hug and we end up hugging for quite a while.

"Guys, i'm gonna go get something to eat"  Calum says. I see him holding a few tears in.

"I think i'm gonna follow" all of them look at me so surprised but I think Calum was the most surprised then it quickly turned into a smile.

"Grab me a banana!" Ashton says at the awkward silence.

Michael and Luke burst out laughing while Michael says "Oh baby grab this banana" he smirks and they laugh even more.

Calum and I walk to the kitchen in utter silence.

When we get there I have the guts to say "So, how are you?"

He stands there and turns around and bursts out the words "I miss you Nevaeh, so much."

"Calum" I say quietly.

"I changed, I cried hours and hours after that night and realised how much I need you, everyday. I think of you every night. You are always on my mind, you've always had my heart, I stopped dating because I'm waiting for you. You are my sun, my moon and all my stars. I need you Nevaeh." he starts to tear up.

I just stood there, motionless.

He grabs my waist and smashes his lips onto mine.

I was so caught up in the moment until I realised I did something wrong.

I push him away and he lets go 

"I'm sorry, I really am." Calum says, he's crying and he runs to the washroom.

I start to cry and I end up knocking on the washroom door.

"If it's Naveah I suggest you leave." I hear sniffles.

"Calum, please let me in. Please." I beg.

He opens the door and rushes past me to the kitchen and I scurry along following him behind.

He grabs a few snacks from the kitchen and rushes into the hallway to the garage.

I stay in the kitchen.

As I finish hearing them sing a couple of songs I decide that I calmed down enough to go back into the garage.

"Hey Holly!" Ashton says waving from behind his drum set.

Michael and Luke seem to be in deep conversation to notice I was here, I didn't really mind.

Calum stands there looking at the ground fiddling his feet.

"Holly, I uh, was wondering if I could take you to the deli not far from here?" Ashton asks, is he asking me on a date?

"That would be great" I say with a smile.

Ashton smiles big and then says "I'll pick you up tomorrow let's say, 7:30?

"Sounds like a plan." I say.

"Have fun." Calum says.

"Thanks man." Ashton looks at Calum.
