As much as I couldn't stand to see Calum sad I had to make sure he was alright. I pulled up to his house and gently knocked on the door. A few seconds later he answered.

"Calum..." I started, noticing the sad look on Calum's face.

"Look Mel, I really don't wanna talk right now" he said, beginning to shut the door but I stopped it with my hand.

"Cal we need to talk" I demanded.

"Fine" Calum gave in. I felt the air stiffen around me.

"Calum I'm sorry you had to see... what you saw" I said quietly.

"Mel, don't feel sorry for me, I can't help it, and I know it's hard for you too but you don't need to feel sorry for me just because I love someone who will never love me back." Calum stuttered. I didn't know what to say. Sure, Calum had told me he loved me before but this time was different, because I actually had someone I loved now, and it wasn't him.

"I do have one question though"Calum whispered, breaking my train of thought.

"What is it?" I asked, a little bit nervous.

"Do you love him?" Calum asked, his voice cracking a bit. Tears formed in my eyes because I hated hurting Calum. We stood there in silence for a few seconds. I did love Ashton but I couldn't say it. I gave him a small nod and wiped some tears from my eyes.

"I have to go" I mumbled and rushed out the door. I couldn't take it anymore.

CALUM'S P.O.V

I couldn't just quit being in love with Melanie. She was the only person I ever loved. I wish she could just see that I've been here the whole time and I always will be here. I just wish I could somehow open up her eyes, make her see.

I had to go to work today which was really shit especially since I would probably have to go into the basement where Melanie and that guy were.....you know. I walked in the door to see Dave and I knew I had to explain to him.

"Hi, um sorry about last week, I had um, personal issues" I said.

"It's no problem just get to work!" he replied. I headed down to the basement hoping nothing bad would happen this time, I was wrong.

"Calum, right?" a voice said. It was him, the guy all over Melanie. I didn't say anything back.

"I'm Ashton, um we didn't really get off on the right foot, uh sorry about that" He stuttered.

"I just want you to know one thing" I started, coming closer to him, "If you hurt Melanie in anyway I will end you, clear?" I demanded.

"I would never hurt her" Ashton replied.

"Why are you here anyway?" I interrupted.

"Well I'm sorta of staying here for a while" Ashton mumbled.

"What?" I questioned, now confused.

"I have to stay out here because.,.. because" Ashton started again.

"Because?" I asked.

"Because I'm hiding" Ashton said. Was this a joke?

"Hiding from what?" I questioned again. This guy was insane.

"Parol" Ashton finally said. My mind went all fuzzy and cluttered. This guy's dangerous.
