Calum's POV

My mum had just left and Brooke was on her way back, at least that her text said. I was on the couch staring at the blank wall. About 5 minutes later Brooke came back and had a big smile on her face.

"Calum!" She yelled and grabbed my wrist and pulled me off the couch.

"Hi." I say hugging her gently.

"Let's go get Starbucks."

"Starbucks?!"

"You'll like it there. C'mon." She said not letting go of my wrist and we walked to the car. I sat in the passenger seat and Brooke was driving. She was smiling the entire drive there.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked also smiling.

"Nothing. I just thought about something."

"Oouuu story time!" I say like a 5 year old.

Brooke laughed and I could tell she knew what I meant. She then opened her mouth to speak.

"We came to Starbucks the first time we hung out, Calum. It was about 3 days after we first met."

*Flashback*

I was on my computer watching films since 8 am. It was 2 pm and it was raining. Perfect weather for not going out anywhere. I then got a text from Calum.

From Calum:

Hey Brooke! Today is my day off so I thought I'd invite you to Starbucks later if your not doing anything? -Cal ;)

I read the text smiling and replied.

To Calum:

Sure! I'd love to! -Brooke (:

I sent the text and closed my laptop. My phone vibrated within seconds.

From Calum:

Okay then. I'll pick you up at 3. -Cal :)

To Calum:

See you then! -Brooke (:

***

I had decided in wearing black skinny jeans and a Rolling Stones shirt and a black zip up sweater. It wasn't raining too hard by now. While I was brushing my teeth, I get a text from Calum.

From Calum:

I'm outside :) -Cal

To Calum:

I'm coming down now.

I walked downstairs and left a note for my mum letting her know I was out. I walked out and Calum was standing in front of the passenger seat. I walked up to him and he opened the door for me.

"Thanks Calum." I said smiling

"I like your shirt by the way" he said getting in the drivers seat.

***

Once we got to Starbucks, there was already group of paparazzi. There weren't that many so it wouldn't be getting out of control anytime soon. After ordering our drinks, we sat down and started talking.

"So who do you live with? Mum, dad? Any siblings? Boyfriend?" I laughed at Calum's questions.

"I live with my mum and dad but my dad is in America right now for a business trip. I'm the only child my mum had & I've only recently broke up with my boyfriend."

"What happened?" He asked drinking his cold beverage.

"It was a kind distance thing for about 4 months and we were both unhappy."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Calum speaks softly.

"It's fine. So what about you? Who do you live with? Siblings? Girlfriend?" I asked making Calum laugh.

"I live with my mum and my sister, Mali & I don't have a girlfriend." He smiled, making me slightly blush.

"You know Calum, I feel like we're going to be really close after this."

"I'm glad you think that." He said smirking a little, making me giggle.

*End of Flashback*

By the time I finished telling Calum our first time hanging out together, we had already finished our drinks and were heading out. When we walked out, there were several paparazzi around and taking pictures as the flashes annoyed me.

"Stupid paparazzi.." I said to myself quiet enough that Calum couldn't hear me. Calum got worried and help my hand, intertwining our fingers. He grabbed my hand tightly and we walked passed the large crowd. We got into the car and driving back to our flat.

"Does this always happen? I feel like they're gonna break the glass, Brooke." He asked not letting go of my hand as he still looked worried.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." I tell him looking at him.

***

Once we got back, we opened the door to Ashton, Michael & Luke on the couch.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked to all the boys.

"You left the door unlocked." Michael spoke in a slightly loud voice.

***

I changed into sweats and kept the shirt I was wearing and sat on the couch. The boys were playing songs for Calum and kept asking if he remembered the tune or melody of them. They were sitting in a circle on the floor. After singing 'Beside You' Luke asked again if Calum had remembered the song. Calum nodded, putting his hands on his ankles as his legs were crossed.

Calum's POV

There was something about the songs that made me feel like I've heard at least a second of any song they sang. Something I couldn't point out. Brooke was sitting on the couch listening to the songs played by my band-members.

"At least let me teach you how to play the guitar.." Luke said also asking Michael to help him.

***

After they had taught me the basics, I learning to play the guitar a little.

"Maybe Brooke can teach you to play the bass." Ashton said as he started banging on his box drum. I looked back at Brooke who was sleeping on the couch, peacefully.

"We should probably go, it's getting late." Michael said as he looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall. He got up as the other boys did.

"Bye boys." I say as they left the door.

I look at Brooke and I couldn't help but think about how pretty she looked sleeping. I wish I could remember her, our relationship, my band, band mates, my family, everything. I didn't know if I could trust these people either. It was way too confusing.

I picked up Brooke and took her upstairs to our bedroom. I laid her down on the bed as I took some sweats and a shirt to change into in the restroom. When I came out, Brooke was under the sheets. I laid down next to her, my chest facing her back. I put my arm around her waist confusingly.

"Goodnight Calum." She says tiredly.

"Goodnight."
