Amnesia ❦ c.h.

Chapter 7

Brooke's POV

I missed sleeping next to Calum and waking up to his beautiful face. I was questioning all morning if I should've let Calum go to that 'party'. I knew that the boys told him to tell me it was a party. I know they went to a club. I was thinking back to when Calum invited me to a club with him and the bother boys.

*Flashback*

Calum had invited me to a club not to far from where I lived. I decided on meeting him and his bandmates there. I had already met them and we were all good friends. I got there and I walked behind a familiar person and hugged him from behind.

"Hey Calum!" I said as he turned around no he could properly hug him.

"Hey, Brooke." He spoke softly hugging me tighter, and tighter.

"C-ca-Calum! I.. can't.. breathe!" I said as he let got I turned to look at Michael, Luke, and Ashton looking at both me and Calum.

"So are we gonna go inside or what?" Luke said strongly as he walked inside as Ashton and Michael followed. Calum and I walked in and his arm snaked around my waist.

"Calum.." I said and then paused. He smiled, his eyes a bold brown color.

"Just go with it." He spoke as we were in a large crowd of people dancing. "Do you want a drink?" Calum said letting go of my waist.

"Sure." I said. Calum walked off to the bar to order us both drinks. He came back with 2 plastic red cups and handed me mine.

"Thanks." I said as we both took sips of what appeared to be vodka.

***

Calum and I were completely wasted. We were mumbling things to each other. He threw his empty cup on the floor and put his hand in mine when he saw that two girls were looking at him.

"What are you doing?" I asked

"I want them to know that I'm here WITH YOU." He said as he was leaning in. I pushed him back before our lips connected.

"You know Calum, I may be drunk but I know what's going on."

"Brookkkkeee." He said like if he was a child.

"Calluuuummm!" I said mocking him.

"Fine." He mumbles and then laughs.

***

I woke up with a small headache and someone's arms wrapped around me. Did I sleep with someone? Not that I remember because I didn't get too drunk that I forgot what happened. I remember everything, believe me I do, I just don't remember going back to my house. I was in someone else's house. I turned around and saw the most peaceful and most beautiful person sleeping in front of me.

Calum.

I put on my my arms around his torso. He smiled and fluttered his eyes open.

"Good morning." I said as he moved me closer to me and kissed my forehead.

"Good morning Brooke."

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

Calum's POV

I remembered everything clearly. I didn't mean to make a move on Brooke, maybe the vodka got over me a bit.

"No." I lied.

"I don't remember coming back here."

"You fell asleep in the car ride so I wanted to bring you with me." I want to tell her how much I care about her bit she's going through a break up so I feel like the timing is wrong. What am I saying? I should tell her. She's right in front of me. And were alone. Perfect time to tell her. It's now of never.

"Brooke?" I asked softly sitting up.

"Yeah?" She asked also sitting up.

"These past weeks have been amazing with you. I've never felt this way about anyone let alone a girl. Sure I've had a few relationships here and there. And I know I haven't known you so long but I wanted to ask you if you-" before I could finish my sentence Brooke leaned in and kissed me. Our lips moved in sync and I could feel her smile under the kiss. Her arms wrapped around my neck and my arms snaked around her waist. Our lips separated and she hugged me tightly.

"So is that a yes?" I asked smiling.

"Yes." She said also smiling.

"Your lips taste like cherries." I said making her laugh.

She lied back down on my bed. I lied down next to her, both our backs on the mattress. I held me hand for her to hold. She placed her hand in mine and we were fiddling with each other's fingers. I've never been so happy before.

"I want to play you something. I haven't really thought of lyrics but I got the melody." I said as I got up and grabbed my guitar. She smiled. I started strumming the guitar. I was proud of the notes I put together and I started humming to replace lyrics that I haven't thought of yet. After about 3 minutes of playing the song, Brooke smiling and grabbed my hand.

"That's amazing, Calum."

"Thanks."

*End of flashback*

Brooke's POV

My phone was placed on the bedside table. I haven't bothered calling or texting them. I was hoping that my phone would ring or something. 11:25, and still nothing. I picked up my phone and looking through my pictures. There were so many of me and Calum being silly together. I missed him and I'm admitting it. Things just aren't the same anymore.

***

I was in the kitchen eating cereal watching the tv. I hear a honk outside and Calum walks inside the house. I didn't bother getting up to hug him.

Calum's POV

Brooke didn't seem like a girlfriend to me. I don't know her. I walked into the kitchen to get something to eat and she was sitting by the dining table.

"Hi Calum." She spoke softly.

"Hi. I would've came earlier but Ashton woke up late." I said picking up a banana and sitting in front of her.

"That's okay. How was the party?"

"It wasn't so much of a party.."

"Yeah, I know." She said as I laughed a little.

It was quiet. It stayed like that until Brooke finished her cereal and was about to go back to the bedroom. I grabbed her wrist gently before she walked passed me.

"I'm sorry it's awkward between us." I told her. I don't know why I told her that when I felt nothing around her.

"I don't expect you to be sorry. You don't know me at all so I don't expect you to feel anything towards me." She said as she pulled away from my grip and walked back to the bedroom.

I know I don't know her but that hurt. If I was in her shoes, It would've hurt me just saying that.

Brooke's POV

I went upstairs quickly and sat on the bed. I began to cry knowing that Calum didn't know me. It hurt me so damn much that he doesn't remember me, his bandmates, his family, no one.

I have to work harder to jog his memory back.
