Runaway

I'm All Ears

Chapter 9

His P.O.V

"I can't believe I did that, she probably thinks I'm an idiot!" I screamed. I was having trouble believing that I said that to her. I guess I just wanted her to know how I felt.

"Are you okay man?" Ashton asked coming around the corner

"Not really" I mumbled. "I ran into... Bella today. I gave her a ride home."

"She asked you for a ride? Why would she do that? No offense, but last time you saw her it wasn't on the best terms. What did you say to her? Did she say anything to you?" Ashton said rambling.

"Well I kind of insisted on giving her a ride, because she looked like she had been crying." I said trying to get Ashton to stop talking

"Why was she be crying?" Ashton asked I shrugged my shoulders in response. Just then Calum walked into the hotel room.

"Hey Cal, where were you?" Ashton asked

"I just went to the mall" Calum said very quietly.

"Really? Luke went too, why didn't you go with him?"

"I was meeting up with someone" Calum said finally turning around. His eyes were puffy and red. "I'm going to bed, see you guys tomorrow."

"I'm going to bed too" I said leaving to go my hotel room that I shared with Micheal. Who was he meeting? Why was his eyes red like he had been crying? Why didn't he tell us that he was going to the mall? Who could he know that lives in Ohio?

The Next Moring

Her P.O.V

I tried to sleep last night, but I couldn't, not after what Luke said to me. How could he say that, he doesn't mean it. You can't do what he did and say what he said and mean it. I just don't know what to do, what to think. Nobody knows what actually happened, I have to talk to someone.

ring .... ring .... ring

"Hey Bella, why are you calling me this early? "

"I couldn't sleep last night. Can you come over?"

"Ya of course, be there in 10"

"Bye Emily, love you"

"Bye love you too"

>>>>>>>>>>

"Hey" Emily said softly as she was walking in my room. "Is everything okay?"

"I mean if you call running into your ex and your ex telling you that he still loves you is okay. Then yes everything is okay." I said stuffing my face in my pillow.

"Oh... wow! I just.. I don't know what to say." Emily said surprised

"Can you just... just listen to me. I will tr-ry to tell you what happened." I said trying to find the right words.

"I'm here for you. I'm all ears."

"Okay... erm back before I moved here. Luke and I had been dating for about a year and a half. We were fighting about some stupid little thing and it turned into this huge fight about Luke's ex girl. She was spreading rumors about me that were not true. "

"What were the rumors about?"

"That the only reason why Luke was dating me was because 1. he felt bad for me 2. he wanted in my pants. She also said things like that I'm a slut and she got my phone number and started to send me horrible texts and old pictures of Luke and her."

"Damn, Bella I'm so sorry. I didn't know how bad things were for you back in Sydney."

"Ya it was really hard for me. Luke, Calum, Micheal, and Ashton were the only ones there for me and knew those rumor weren't true." Telling this is almost like reliving this all over again, I'm just going to try and avoid the full story of why Luke and I broke up.

"Bella it's okay if you don't want to finish the story, I know it must be hard." Emily said and I just nodded and said....

"Back when I lived in Sydney I was a completely different person. I had purple hair, lots of black eye makeup and all black clothes. I had terrible grades, I didn't care about anything. So my dad just thought it would be best to go somewhere else and start over, and that's what I did."

"So you moved here and now you live here with your mom. But what happened yesterday that you couldn't fall asleep last night, I thought you were going out to lunch with Calum?"

"I did go out to lunch with Calum and then we decided to go to the mall. We walked around and then he .... kissed me ... and th-"

"Wait he kissed you ... you let him kiss you. Did you kiss him back. Is he a good kisser? I always thought Calum was the hottest in the band...."

"Emily!"

"Oh ya .... sorry. So what happened after he kissed you?"

"Well ... we kinda made out." Emily just sat there with her jaw on the ground. "He said he wanted .... us for so long. It just didn't feel right .... so I just kinda .... ran away" I said almost as a question.

"You just ran away from him, where did you go?"

"I went to Barnes and Noble. Then after everything that happened with Calum I ran into Luke as I was leaving and he insisted on giving me a ride home. He didn't say much in the car, neither did I. Then when we got to my house I left my phone in his car. He got out of his car and gave it to me, but before he left he told me that's he is sorry and that he still loves me."

"Wow I mean wow. But I still don't understand what happened between you too, what made you break up?"

"Lets just say Luke's ex girlfriend got what she wanted."

"What was that?"

"For Luke and I to break up"

"I'm sorry so Bella. What are you going to do."

"Honestly I don't know, but what I do know is that I don't know if I could ever trust Luke again."

ring....ring....ring....rin-

"Hello?"

"Hey it's Bella."

"Oh, hi ... Bella hey. Is something wrong?"

"No, no .... I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out to get dinner with me tonight?"

"Um sure, sounds good. Should I pick you up around 7ish?"

"Ya that sounds good."

"And Bella"

"hmm"

"About yesterday .... I'm sorry."

"Forget about it okay, can we just start over, act like that never happened?"

"Of course."

"Bye Calum, see you tonight"

"See you tonight Bella."

Ughhh this chapter was so frustrating to write because I didn't know how to write it without giving everything away. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. School just started back up and I'm exhausted after I get home from school and I have a crap load of homework to do every night already. Speaking of school .... tomorrow is Monday, well I'm tired and I'm. going to bed. I hope you like this chapter.
