Crazy Ex || Calum Hood

005

I followed the four of them as they rambled on about the most random stuff. Jordan was behind me. It looked like we were going back to the back room I was in before. I had been walking by myself when Calum walked over to me,

"Hey."

"Uh hi."

"Sorry about my friends. They get a little hyped and ask stupid questions a lot."

I laughed, "Oh no it's perfectly fine!"

It got silent for a second and then he asked the question, "So um. Are you okay? Why were you running?"

I looked at him and then looked straight in front of me again, "It's kind of a long story."

"Well I'm not going anywhere."

I looked at him again. He had a sort of sweet smile on his face. I smiled and looked away again.

We made it to the back room and I immediately went and sat in the chair I had been sitting in before. The guys all jumped around and gave each other noogies and laughed. I laughed at how ridiculous this was. I mean. I was sitting in the same room as 5 Seconds of Summer. How crazy is that?!

Calum walked up to me and knelt down in front of me, "Hey you doing okay? You need anything?"

"Oh! No thank you. I am actually feeling a lot better!"

"Oh really? Well in that case. We ordered some food that is supposed to be here any minute, so would you mind telling us what happened out there earlier. I know the guys are as curious as I am. You don't have to tell us if you don't feel comfortable. But I at least want to feed you before you go back to wherever it was you were at before."

I laughed at him and kind of nudged his shoulder without noticing, "Ah don't worry. I'll tell you guys if you are that curious."

"Oh okay. Cool!"

All of sudden, Jordan walked right in with 4 bags of food, "Here you kids go. Go easy on the food though." They all thanked Jordan and he nodded. Before he walked out I thanked him.

"Ah no problem kid." He then walked out shutting the door behind him.

The guys all dived into the bags. There were burgers and tacos and Chinese.

"Hey Kammie! What are you in the mood for?" Ashton asked me, "We got cheese burgers, tacos, some Chinese, and if you get thirsty, Jordan got an extra milkshake for ya."

"Aw really? How nice. He didn't have to do that."

"Hey well. You are here so why not?" Michael said.

I stood up and went through the bags and grabbed a cheese burger and a milkshake and sat down on the ground. They all starred at me like I was some weirdo. I started biting into my burger when I noticed them staring at me, "What? Is there a rule on not sitting on the floor?"

They all shook their head and they all grabbed their food and actually joined me on the floor. Calum took a seat right beside me while the other three were in front of us. We had all dug in eating. They four of them were talking when Calum turned to me, "So. What happened?"

They all got silent and leaned in as if I was telling a campfire story. I had just finished my burger. I swallowed and whipped my mouth with a napkin. "Um well. I actually live in Tempe, Arizona where I attend Arizona State University. A-"

"Oh a college student! What are you going to school for?" Ashton asked.

"Oh well. I am not so sure yet. I'm still kind of deciding."
