Chapter 18

Tori's P.O.V.

I couldn't explain how surprised I was to see them, standing on my door steps. I couldn't explain to Ashton or to anyone who they were. I didn't know why they were here, I didn't feel like asking.

There was a long silence in the house, even the television was mute. I kind of just stood there and so did everyone else. Megan gestured for me to break this silence. It took a minute or two but I did.

"I would ask you to come in, but I left on bad terms with you, I don't want to make the bad terms back into good ones. Goodbye." I heard myself say and tears formed in my eyes. I stepped back with my hand on the door.

"But-" Your familiar voice said, but it was too late. I shut the door in the middle of your sentence, not wanting to hear the rest of it. I turned back to the group in the living room. Their eyes were on me, I couldn't handle it. "I'm so sorry." The tears stained my face as I ran up the stairs.

I realized that I didn't want them here. They should of never came to my door, or found my address. I left them and New York for some pretty good reasons, like never wanting to see them again. However that didn't stop them, and I don't think my struggling relationship with Calum will either. I didn't know what they wanted or when they got here. I just didn't want to see them again, or have Calum find out.

I felt my phone buzz from under me. My ring tone interrupted the silence. I look at the screen Calum appeared as the caller. I slide the green bar to answer the call and my voice was lost.

"Hello?" His voice came through the phone. I choked on my own words, it was hard to speak, but somehow I found a way.

"Hello" My weak voice was barely heard by me, never mind Calum.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"Who?"

"The one who came to my door asking for you." He said. I stopped. I couldn't and I wouldn't. My finger pressed the button. The call ended. I just wanted to cry and disappear. In fact, I did cry. I didn't want the chemistry I have with Calum be effected by this.

Within the next minute the bell rang. I heard Ashton opening the door to greet Calum. Footsteps were running up the stairs.

Calum's P.OV.

I heard her in her room, what sounded like bed covers rustled. I opened the door quickly, expecting the worse I could think of, her and that man together. Apparently the worse isn't imaginable for me. She was gone, along with her stuff. The window was opened allowing the cool breeze to enter the room. The window's screen was gone. I walked over to the window and looked out it. I didn't see Tori, the man, or the minivan. Instead I saw the window screen on the grass and marks from when she landed her jump.

I walked away from the window, and not because of the breeze coming through it. I've screwed up, big time. Tori left because of me, I should of never called her. I really didn't know another reason for her absance. The thing that killed me the most if that I couldn't find her and save her, I didn't know where she would of gone.

I sat down on her bed, her smell lingered here. The tears formed in my eyes and then escaped onto my cheeks.

"Cal, you okay?" Ashton's voice startled me. I wiped the tears off my face before turning to him.

"She's gone, she jumped out the window. Some of her stuff is gone too."

"Oh, wow dude, I'm sorry." Ashton said.

"It's all my fault too. I called her asking about that guy. She must of packed after she ended the call."

"At least she didn't end Calri or Talum." Ashton said trying to make me happy.

"What's that?" I asked confused.

"I guess your ship name. I don't know. Ask Megan." He said.

"Well." I said laughing. Ashton laughed to. I almost felt happy for a minute.

"We could start a search." Ashton suggested.

"If she hears about a search wouldn't she get even more mad with me?" I asked.

"I'm not the one to answer that, Tori is. However she isn't here, so ask her friends. They don't live that far away."
