*Nat's POV*

After hearing him say my name I knew it was 100% him. Even after him trying to create a conversation with me I couldn't help to just stare at him with huge eyes.

"Natalie. Hello? Are you ok?" He asked over and over again. I attempted to talk but nothing came out. So my next move was to grab Kaylee's hand and run. And that's exactly what I did.

"Mommy what's wrong?" Kaylee asked breathlessly trying to keep up with me. My poor baby must be so scared and confused. "Nothing sweetie! Its ok! Mommy just doesn't feel good so we need to leave." I knew she probably wasn't happy but she didn't fight me.

After running to our bench grabbing everything as fast as possible I was praying he didn't follow us. But of course the second we got there he was right behind us. "Nat wait I just wanna talk." Thinking on my feet I grabbed a sweatshirt out of our bag that could swallow Kaylee and threw it on her to cover up her similar features to Calum.

"But mommy i'm not cold." She pouted but I didn't have time to respond before grabbing her and running again. "Nat please wait." He screamed while still following us. As I turn for a split second I could see he left, i'm assuming, his girlfriend at the dog park to chase us down.

"Omg Luke leave us alone!" I screamed as I turned to him. "Not till you talk to me." At this point I had stopped running and turned to him fuming with anger. "Why the hell would I want to talk to you!" I held tightly to Kaylee.

"Mommy i'm scared!" I really didn't want Kaylee calling me mommy right now but I wasn't going to confuse her more. Before I could respond to Kaylee I noticed Luke looking and staring  at  Kaylee very closely. "Mommy?" He asked while looking back at both of us.

I picked up Kaylee in a very fast movement and started running again. But of course he still had to chase us. He grabbed my arm yanking me to stop. I pulled my arm away. "Don't ever touch me!"

"Since when do you have a daughter?" How was I supposed to respond. "That's none of your business. Now please leave us alone!"

"Nat I just wanna know how your doing?" That did nothing but make me even more angry. I laughed lightly. "Hmm you wanna know how i'm doing! Wow. Since when the fuck have you cared about how i'm doing."

"I've always cared-" I cut him off before he could give me any bullcrap lies, "Don't even give me that crap Luke! Not only did Calum leave me but you did to! Same with Michael and Ashton! You all left without any kind of calls or texts asking me how I was! So why would I even glace in your direction if I seen any of you! Huh!?"

At this point I was screaming with tears forcefully coming out of my eyes. "Nat that's not what any of us wanted-" I cut him off again by rolling my eyes. "Ya know what Luke how about you walk back over to you famous girlfriend and worry about the rockstar life that you left everyone and everything here for! And if anyone finds out about us seeing each other right now tell them I said fuck all of you and to stay away from me! Yall are good at that right? You've done it for 3 years now. So it should be no struggle!"

I wiped my tears, rubbed Kaylee's back and made my way away from him. He didn't follow me this time which is exactly what I wanted. I hope I got my point across. But when I say it didn't hurt don't believe me. My hearts breaking all over again as I walk further and further away from him.

*Calum's POV*

After going through all the awkward family introductions with Nia I suggested she should go take a nap due to jet lag and I would be upstairs in a little to take one as well. I just wanted to be with my family for a little while.

"What was that Calum?" The second Nia went upstairs I was flooded with questions. "What was what?" I asked getting a glass of water.

Mali gave a "really" look. "She my girlfriend Mal." Once again she gave me a "really" look. "Really. So you have feelings for that girl?" My family knew me inside and out so there was no reason to lie to them. "Not really."

I sip my water as my mom asks, "Well are you with her honey?" I mentally roll my eyes knowing that if I try to explain it to them they wouldn't understand it."Guys lets not get into this right now please. It's complicated."

"You shouldn't have to be with someone you don't want Cal. Were not going to bother you with this but just keep that in mind." I sighed knowing they were right but I honestly had no choice. "I know guys. Thank you for the concern but i'm fine."

I know they probably don't believe me but I don't know what else to tell them. "Anyways i'm going to go upstairs to try to sleep. Will be up for dinner." I hopped off the counter to make my way upstairs.

I stop in my tracks as I see Nia in the hallway staring at our family pictures hanging up. "Who's she Cal?" She asks as she sees me. I move closer to her studying the one photo she's looking at. After I seen who she was talking about I tensed up.

The picture was me and the beautiful girl I was thinking about on the way here (up top^). It was taken the first time she came over to meet my family. They loved her the second she said hello. "Umm thats my ex-girlfriend Natalie." I said as I made my way into my room trying to avoid this talk. I could see her little face she made while asking, "Why is your ex from 3 years ago still on your parents wall?"

"I don't know Nia. Its my family's house not mine." I didn't feel like telling Nia the truth. Basically Nat was like a daughter to my parents after she moved in with us when her parents left her for no reason at all. It was none of her businesses. But I didn't help my case when we walked into my room and saw about 4 more pictures of me and her on my dresser and nightstand.

I grab them all as soon as possible and put them in my dresser drawer. "Before you question that I haven't been here in almost a year Nia. And when I was here I never noticed them." That was a big fat lie but I didn't feel like fighting with her. "Lets just sleep ok?"

I've been laying here for about an hour but my body refused to let me sleep. But slowly my eyes drifted close but my phone vibrating, telling me I got a text woke me up again. I sigh, sit up and grab my phone seeing it was Luke texting me. I slide over in the text to open it.

Luke: Hey Mate. Seen someone today. Might wanna check this out.

As I click on the link twitter popped up with about 10 different pictures that look like they were taken by fans or paparazzi. As I scroll through them I finally notice who he was trying to show me. Natalie.. Holding what looks like a child in a big sweatshirt while he's chasing her without hesitation I replied:

Calum: Meet me at the closest place possible. We need to talk. Now!
