*Calum's POV*
The burning of the warm, smooth alcohol was all I was feeling right now as I listen to the loud booming music of the lit up club. The band was at our normal party spot in Los Angeles, California. But I couldn't help but get a little bored as the night went on. We do this every night and it ends up the say way, me going home to my so called girlfriend Nia. I say "so called girlfriend" because I'm not really feeling what she feels. She's cool but honestly just publicity. Hi Or Hey Records decided since every member had a relationship but me that I had to pursue one. Do I feel bad? Nah fuck people's feelings. That's the person my career's turned me into.
As I continue to just stare into space I decided it was time for me to go home. As I push through all the people I had to stop myself from shoving them. Finally spotting all the boys with their girls, Luke, Sierra, Michael, Crystal, Ashton and Bryana. While rolling my eyes I walk over to them stating, "Hey guys I think i'm gonna head home." I could definitely tell they weren't too happy about it but I honestly don't care. "Ok will see you tomorrow then Cal. Don't forget to set your alarm, early flight tomorrow." I mentally roll my eyes as Luke reminds me of our trip home that I honestly forgot about. "Got it. See you guys in the morning." Tomorrow we're going home for the first time in over a year. I was super excited to see my beautiful sister and mother but not excited to relive the memories that place holds from my past that I completely fucked up.
Walking through my door and feeling the little paws of my favorite, little puppy jumping up at me was the only thing that could bring me 100% joy in a matter of seconds. As I lean down to pick him up the excited little pup couldn't stop moving so I giggle to myself as I kiss him and take the assault he's leaving on my face with his slobbery tongue. "Hi buddy." I carefully sit him down as I make my way into the kitchen but his little body still following my every move. I reach into the refrigerator to take a few sips of water before making my way upstairs calling Duke to come to bed. Walking into my room made me very relieved that I could finally sleep but not very happy when I see who's laying in my bed. I sigh taking my shirt off crawling on my side and letting Duke hop up right next to me. As I held the little pup in my arms I couldn't help but sigh at all the luggage I see sitting across the room, some black and some pink being Nia's. But as sleep took me over I thought to myself, "Australia, here we come!"
*Nat's POV*
As I hand my last customer of the day there change I felt relief completely wash over me! "Finally!" I think to myself. I smile at my coworker Megan who's standing to my left waiting to take my place so I can finally leave. "Go home and relax Nat. You deserve it." I reach over to hug her very tightly before turning and making my way to the back to clock out. But before I could open the door to walk back there I hear the TV saying the name of the band I can't stand. As I turn towards it my stomach can't help but get a little sick. "5 Seconds Of Summer fans cause a huge problem at the Australian National Airport today as they refuse to leave till the band gets here in just a few hours. Most fans screaming, mobbing and even sleeping there till they arrive is causing many problems. So if you're planning on trying to take a plane beware of the mobs-" I didn't need to hear anymore so I rushed to the bathroom, leaning over the toilet as I feel the huge wave of sickness get bigger. There coming home. Great now we have to really have to watch our backs. Not that i'm not used to it, every-time I leave the house i'm always tip toeing. All of their families are still here and they know exactly who I am. If they seen me and Kaylee in public it's clearly going to create some questions. Even tho I hate to say this, Kaylee has so many traits of Calum's like his chubby cheeks, beautiful brown eyes you could get lost in, bright smile that could light up a room, his cute little giggle and lastly the most noticeable one is her black, beautiful hair. She's a constant reminder of him in almost every way possible which I hate but love at the same time.
After deciding I needed to stop worrying and get home I couldn't be more happier to walk in my apartment door. I throw my purse, keys, and apron on the couch as I make my way to the kitchen seeing Katie sitting on the counter. "Hey." I mumbled to her. "Hi. How was work?" I sigh while taking a bite of a piece of pizza I assumed they had for dinner. "Normal. How was your day?" She hopped off the counter while handing me a piece of paper, looking at her weirdly I grabbed it and seen it was a cute little picture Kaylee must have drawn for me while I was gone. "Great, she said you looked sad when you left and wanted to make you feel better when you got home so she made you that." I smiled to myself and hung it on the fridge while getting a bottle of water sipping it lightly. "But anyways. She's asleep so you should be good to head to bed." I was relieved I could sleep but kinda sad I couldn't tuck her in. "Thanks Katie. I don't know what I would be doing without you."
"No problem sis. I love you and her so it's no trouble. But anyways I have to go to work myself so i'll see you guys Sunday. Tomorrows you and her day right?" Every week I try and have at least one day were its just me and her so I can make up for not being there everyday. Katie's with her most of the time and leaves for her job when I get home. She works nights so it works well. But Saturday is the one day were Katie can work during the day because i'm with Kaylee. But it's hard because some weeks it doesn't happen because I need to work more to be able to pay for what we need. "Yep. I'm gonna let her pick what she wants to do like normal." Before she could walk out of the kitchen she stops and slowly turns to me, "Um Nat. Did you happen to see the news today?" I sighed and shook my head yes, not wanting to talk about it. "So what are you gonna do if you run into them?" I didn't want her knowing I was worried about it so I shrugged, "Not to worried about it." She gave me a very funny look knowing i'm lying. "Katie its whatever i'll just make something up. There not gonna catch on." Still giving me a funny look she finally walked out of the kitchen to the door yelling, "whatever you say." and leaving.
After deciding to head to bed I slowly made my way upstairs to Kaylee's room, slightly opening the door peeking in to check on her. After seeing the covers almost off her body I slowly walked in to re-tuck her in. I sat on the little reading chair that was set up next to her bed for night time stories that she loves and carefully pulled the covers over her while smiling down at her. After me pushing her dark hair out of her face I kiss forehead lightly and said, "I love you so much angel. I'm sorry mommy's not around much. I'm doing this all for you. So you could have a better life than mommy ever had." My daughter and I had many struggles but that doesn't mean I would ever trade having her. I will always have a piece of mine and Calum's love even if he doesn't know about it. Which is exactly how I wanted it.
