Silent Victim ➵ Calum Hood

Chapter Three

Alexandra's POV

I sat on my bed, just watching as the minutes flew past. I was in my own little world, hoping that I had dreamed everything. It was now 6:30, and Calum was due to pick me up at 7pm. I had no intention in going on this date, I wasn't going to bother getting ready because he wouldn't turn up. Plus, even if he did decide to show up, i'd do anything to get out of going. The door of my bedroom was opened, as Ashton popped his head in. "Oh my god Lexie, why aren't you getting ready?" He exclaimed, quickly rushing over to my closet. He swung the door of it opened and began raking through every piece of clothing I had.

In the end, he pulled out an ankle-length blue, strapless dress and threw it at me. "I'm not wearing that" I snapped and he looked at me weirdly. "And why not?" He pushed, making me fold me arms. "That's the dress I wore to my parents wedding Ashton" I sighed and his eyes widened before he flung it out of sight. He began to look through my clothes again, and pulled out a sparkly gold, mid-thigh dress. He put it hanging on the handle of the door, before running out of the room.

"Be back in 5, that better be on you" He chirped, slamming the door shut. I sighed, picking it up staring down at it. I quickly dropped it back onto the bed and pulled my top over my head. I unzipped my jeans, tugging them off of my legs and placing both items of clothing in my laundry basket. Walking back to the dress, I pick it up and pull it up my legs, putting my arms through the straps. I zipped it up as high as i could by myself, and  straightened it on my legs, finally seeing how short it was. I cringed as i did a twirl, getting distracted as the door was opened again. "Woah" Ashton exclaimed, wiggling his eyebrows playfully. 

"If you don't lose your virginity tonight, i don't think you ever will" He joked, walking behind me. His hands went to the zip, pulling it up the rest of the way smiling at me. "Don't you dare, I look horrible, and plus I'm not going" I huffed, running a hand through my hair. He rolled his eyes, pulling a box out of his back pocket. "I got this for you, you know, special occasion. You deserve it" He smiles, handing it over to me while intently watching. I untied the ribbon carefully and then pulled the lid off, my eyes widening as I saw it. There was a silver necklace, with two hearts entertwined.

"This is amazing Ash, thank you" I choked, throwing my arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. He chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes before he pulled away, taking the necklace from the box and turning me around. He placed it around my neck, fastening the clasp as I admired the way it hung, resting against my chest.

I fiddled with the heart at the end, before he cleared his throat. "Yeah, i'm going to go. Stay getting ready, i'll call you when he is here" He smiles, patting me on the back and disappearing. I groan, walking over to my dressing table, and sitting down on the stool. I stare at my reflection, looking at how much I've changed over the years. I grab my makeup bag, quickly putting on some light foundation and mascara. I wasn't going to try to look attractive, because he wasn't worth the effort.

I could hear the doorbell ring, so I applied a coat of red lipstick and rushed downstairs. I stood at the last step, as both Calum and Ashton turned, mouths hanging open. "Wow" Calum breathed, quickly snapping out of his daze, and rolling his eyes. "You look beautiful, have fun you two. Use protection" Ashton shouts, pushing us both out the door.

"First things first, you look like shit. So we are going to a friends house to fix you" Calum scoffed getting in the drivers side of his car, as I slowly sat in the back.

**********************

"Rosie, open up! Its an emergency" Calum shouted, banging on the front door of some girls house. The door flung open revealing a tall girl, with light brown hair and piercing green eyes. She was wearing a blink182 jumper, and black jeans. "What Calum" She snapped, as he pushed past her, yanking me inside by the wrist.

"Can you fix her? She looks like shit and we are going out" He begs, as her eyes travel up and down my body. "Fine, whatever. But you owe me. Give us 10" She tells him, motioning me to come with her to a different room. She scurries over to what i'm guessing is her closet, and pulls out a short red dress, and black heels. She throws them at me and turns around as I strip off, putting them on.

"Oh I'm Rosie. And you didn't look like shit. Calum just has a certain type" She rolls her eyes as I bite my lip, nodding. She pats the chair beside her, so I rush over and sit down. I knew keeping Calum waiting would get him angrier, and I wasn't in the mood for another beating. She quickly did winged eyeliner on me, and put a deeper shade of red lipstick over the one i previously had. "There all done, you look amazing" She smiles, helping me up. 

"Oh and here's my number. Incase you want to talk after tonight" She chews the inside of her lip, handing me a piece of paper. I smile, taking it and putting it in my shoe. I walk out back to Calum and he smirks, grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door. We get back in the car but this time I sit in the passenger side, and he drives like a maniac, out of town.

Once we are about 10 minutes away, he pulls over into an abandoned warehouse, making my eyes widen. "Now, for today, we'll stay outside. But next time, i'm bringing you inside" He smirks, tilting my head so I look him in the eye. "All thats left now is to get down to business" He moans, running his hand up under my dress. 

I let out a frightened whimper, slapping his hand away which makes him growl. "Don't you dare" He hisses, slapping me across the face with the back of his hand. My eyes tear up, as he leans his seat back, "Get on me" He commands, taking my hand and yanking me forward so I crawl onto his lap. He leans back on the seat, holding my hips and grinding off of me. I shut my eyes quickly, hopping that it would all be over soon. Calum was quickly interrupted when there is a knock on the window.

"M-Michael?" He groans.
