My Little Secret C.H

CHAPTER FOUR

*Calum's POV*

    Coming home wasn't something I hated, it was just something I always dread. Don't get me wrong having a break and seeing my family was something I really needed but being in the place that has all these overwhelming feelings and memories was something I was not ready for. As the band, myself, and the girls walk out the airport doors and see an overwhelming amount of fans waiting for us the tension only got stronger. After meeting most of the fans we all decided it's time to separate and go home. After saying our goodbyes me and Nia hopped into our uber and started making our way to my old home.

    "Are you excited to be home baby?" I cringe at the nickname she always calls me. "Ya kinda." I mumbled while leaning my head on the window. I couldn't help but to be a little tense around her. To be honest she kinda annoys me and I- My thoughts were admittedly cut off right when my slow uber passes a small pizza shop to the right of us. My head filled with never ending memories.

*Flashback (3 years ago)*

   I laugh at my never ending, goofy friends while taking a bite of my pizza. This was a normal Saturday night for us. Right after band practice we always come to Mally's a small pizza shop right around the corner of my home to have dinner. It's always filled with nothing but goofiness, laughter , or song writing. But tonight was kinda different. Luke's introducing us to a friend he met today at school. He apparently just moved here and was really chill according to Luke. As we sit around waiting for him to arrive we were acting like our normal selves, weird as crap. But after hearing the bell at the front door meaning someone has walked I felt as if my whole world stopped after catching a glimpse of this breathtaking girl walking in. Wow is all I could think or process.

After staring at the beautiful girl only a few feet in front of me Luke stands up hugging her and turing to us. Still I couldn't help but stare. "So guys this is Natalie. Natalie this is Ashton, Michael and Calum."  Not once did Luke ever say this friend was a female. A beautiful female might I add. But i'm not complaining one bit.

*Flashback Over (Present Day)*

    Little did my young 18 year old self know then that my whole life would be completely flipped upside down in a matter of weeks after meeting that breathtaking 17 year old girl in a small little pizza shop. After meeting her with the boys it was my mission to make her mine. Which wasn't very hard considering how much she was around due to her and Luke being super close, practically brother and sister. Weeks of flirting, and little dates bloomed from that night and eventually love but that soon was ruined almost a year later because of nobody but myself. Right before our one year together I was forced to make a choice, my dream or her. Only being 18 I had no clue what to do but evenly I had to make a choice. A choice that to this day I still question. After thinking only for a few moments longer about that amazing girl I yell at myself to stop and watch as we pull up to my childhood home.  

    Walking up to my childhood home is so amazing as i'm thinking about seeing my family. There the only reason I come back back here. As I rush to the door leaving Nia behind me I can't help my excitement when I slowly open the door. The second the doors open I run into the house finding my beautiful sister in the kitchen and pulling her into my arms holding her like the world was ending. Mali was definitely the person I missed the most. Not only is she the best sister ever, but my best friend. We talk almost everyday when i'm gone but being able to hug her is the best feeling ever. After my surprising, unexpected entrance I made she finally started hugging me back and says, "I'm so happy your home little bro." I couldn't help but smile and just held her tighter. 

    After Mali and I holding each other for a pretty long time we hear someone say, "Um the people who gave you both life is waiting for there hug Calum Thomas Hood." I giggle while turning to my right seeing my amazing parents and running into their arms as well, feeling Mali coming into the hug also. Being in there arms is the best feeling ever and to be 100% honest I don't wanna leave. But the family hug was soon broken by my dad awkwardly coughing towards the girl at the door making us all turn. I could already see the looks my family was giving me questioning who this girl was. Well this trip is going to be interesting.
