"Well... there's not much to tell, I guess," Suddenly I was lost for words. Calum raised an eyebrow and said, "Come on, don't be shy. Just tell me what you want to tell me."
That comforted me a little, so I took a deep breath and thought for a while. "Well, as you know, my name is Sara and I live here in Holland. I live in a small town, not even near Amsterdam so you wouldn't know it. I'm currently obsessed with Prison Break and I'm currenly in high school. Oh, and I get lost occasionally, as you may have noticed."
Calum smiled so big that I started blushing. "See, there's enough to tell about you. You're an interesting girl, Sara."
"Well, enough about me," I told him while raising an eyebrow. "Now tell me about yourself, Calum."
Somehow managing to not get lost for words after that smile, I listened to what he was about to say. However, he just shrugged.
"Well, since you're a fan, you probably know me better than I know myself. They all think they do." He looked at me with his eyes squinted.
"That's something only best friends or couples say. And we're neither." To be honest, I was a little pissed that he thought I was that obsessed with him. He invited me backstage, showed a genuine interest in me (or at least it seemed like it), and then he assumed that I was one of those fans that knew literally everything of him.
"But you've already seen everything of me, haven't you?" Calum said, suddenly blushing. My feeling of being a little pissed ebbed away and I grinned. "Well, something like that..."
He sighed, "Yeah, living with three dudes that always have their cameras ready isn't easy. And let's not forget about the press..."
"That must be exhausting at times.'
Clearly he didn't want to talk about it any further, because he changed the subject by asking me if I wanted a drink. I nodded, and just as Calum poured some Coke in a glass, Larissa and Luke walked in. When I looked at my best friend I saw that she really, really liked Luke. I didn't know it was possible to like someone so quickly, let alone a band member!
However, when I looked at her, I saw that it was real. She had a big smile on her face and when I looked down I saw that Luke had his hand on her back.
"Luke's in love, I think." Calum whispered into my ear as he handed me my drink and I nodded. "So is my best friend," I whispered back, "You're a good matchmaker."
We both grinned as we took a sip of our drinks, and Luke and Larissa sat down on the chairs in the corner of the dressing room.
"Larissa, can I talk to you?" I asked and she stood up, knowing that I wanted to talk in private.
We walked out of the dressing room, making sure she followed and closed the door behind me.
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Is Calum a good kisser?" she asked, dodging the question.
"Larissa, I am serious. Have the two of you kissed or not?"
She started blushing and nodded.
"Oh. My. God. Do you know what that means?" I said and she nodded again.
"That I just had my first kiss?"
"WITH LUKE HEMMINGS!" I practically yelled and she quickly shut me up.
"I won't tell anyone, but oh my god, with Luke..."
Larissa grinned. "And, you and Calum?"
"We didn't kiss, believe me." I said. I also hadn't had the urge to do so. The conversation we just had was nice, and even though I had been his fan for like forever, it wasn't that I could say that I liked him in that manner.
Just a second later the door opened and Calum and Luke walked out. Luke immediately stood next to Larissa again and I grinned.
"Well, we have to go," he said, "So I guess that's goodbye for now..."
Calum sighed and wrapped an arm around my waist. It made me happy to have met Calum, but at the same time it made me a little said to say goodbye. I knew we'd never see each other again except maybe when he would perform on stage. He'd forget about me. But as selfish as it sounded, I didn't want that to happen. I wanted to hang out with him, and actually get to know the person I had only seen on stage so far. But that would never happen, so I quickly told myself to be realistic.
"I don't want to go, I loved this concert so much," Larissa said and Luke nodded, as well as Calum.
"You're the most amazing fans ever." Luke said and Larissa and I smiled.
"This was the best concert ever for us, too."
"So, if you want to get out, the first door on your right is the exit. Don't get lost this time." Luke winked at me and I grinned. "I won't, I promise."
"So... it was nice meeting you, Sara. I'll call you when I get the chance," Calum said and I raised an eyebrow. "You don't have my number." I said, but he nodded.
"When you were outside talking to Larissa, I stole your number out of your phone."
"And I strongly suspect your number is in my phone too." I told him and he nodded. "But please, don't give it to anyone."
There it was again, the assumption that I would even do something like that. He really did see me as just a fan. Trying to not be offended by that, I gave him a hug and said, "I promise."
Calum's arms around me felt nice, and since I was a lot smaller than him, I could bury my head in his chest. But I didn't do that, that would be weird.
As the band disappeared out of sight and Larissa and I walked away in the opposite direction, we sighed in sync. Larissa was still blushing and I felt my heart beating faster too.
"We're fucked." I said.
