Smoke

Ch.10

I felt myself being yanked into a room harshly.

" Who the hell was he?!" Calum screamed.

" A friend Calum." I sneered.

" What's your problem?" He growled.

" my problem is you Calum." I whispered my voice cracking a little.

" Lil-" his eyes softened.

" You left Calum. and now you need to stay gone forever." My voice cracked again as the tears streamed down my face.

I didn't even know I was crying, I cry a lot. Some people say it's normal since my parents died, but I think it's crazy.

I walked to class and whipped the tears from my face.

I didn't need him anymore.

I need to stop.

The classes went by in a blur and I found myself outside the school fighting for air after this lousy school day.

He kept looking at me in class and it was tougher, I just wanted to leave.

As I looked around I saw Calum slumped against the wall smoking his signature cigarette. The smoke was light and airy.

I wished I could tell him ' smoking kills.' However that wasn't ever to be in my cards.

He looked at me as I began walking away. it was cold and for some reason it felt nice.

" Hey Lil wait up!" Harry called out.

" Er.. what's up?" I said glancing at Calum as I saw him turn his head down and leave.

" Nothin need a ride home?" He smiled.

" sure."

" Why so silent?" He smiled.

" Had to deal with someone who I wasn't ready to deal with." I laughed awkwardly.

" Ahhh an ex?" He frowned as we drive off.

" Nah, it's complicated."

" Seems so." He says.

We drove back to my house not saying anything.

" I didn't know you lived here." He laughed.

I furrowed my eyebrows. " what?"

" I use to live here when I lived with my mom... she moved away to Paris when she got the offer and I haven't seen her in three years..." He ended with a sad laugh.

" Oh god I'm sorry." I sad sadly.

" It's alright love." He smiled.

" Well I gotta go ill text you."

" Alright be safe darling. " I stepped out of the car and entered my house.

" LILIANA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Oliver's voice rang.
