3. Letter (Calum)

Calum:

You sat behind your desk at work with intense boredom. The hours did not go quick enough. It was sad that there weren't many customers at book stores anymore. You tapped the desk waiting for something, anything to pass the time. You considered buying a book to read because you left yours at home today. But realised that defeated your purpose of working you needed to save for that car you wanted. Finally your best mate Calum strolled in. He told you he had to be brief as he had an interview very soon, which was understandable, after all he is a part of the most popular upcoming band. "I just thought I'd pop in say Hi considering I'm in the area and drop off a coffee to you" he smiled somewhat nervously at you, which you noticed but didn't think anything of it. This must just be nerves for the interview. You reached out to grab the coffee off the counter then Calum became flustered "Uhm well im going to head out now talk to you later" he gushed then quickly left the store. You furrowed your eyebrows as that was really strange behaviour for Calum. You picked up the coffee cup to find it was as light as a feather. "Ugh that little punk, he knows not to mess with me and coffee. Now here he goes playing pranks" you thought to yourself and tossed the cup into the bin. The lid came off revealing a folded piece of paper. You reached in and took the paper then unfolded it.

Hi Y/N,

I don't really know how to start this off, okay so here it goes. Remember in year nine when you caught me staring at you and asked me what I was thinking and I simply replied with nothing, you probably don't but I do because that was the biggest lie ever I was thinking about a lot of things like how breath taking beautiful you were (still are) if you'd ever be interested in me, if I should ask you out, if I should work out a plan to figure out if you like me. I was so scared to make even the slightest move knowing that this is a fragile topic and could explode in my face leaving me rejected, heartbroken, but worst of all damage our friendship which I value highly. Then I finally sucked up all my insecurities and worries to ask you out in year ten but I was too late, Lance got in before I did. I hated him for that, he had what I wanted, even though we were still friends my feelings towards you grew and I knew it was wrong, I knew I couldn't act upon them and because I loved you so much I decided it was best to not even advance to asking you out because I would cause you pain and confliction cause you were dating that douche. I stayed by you through thick and thin, constantly wishing he would fuck up. Which he did and that is why I decided to act now while you're single so I don't miss out again, I think that would just kill me knowing I had a second chance and let it waste away. Please forgive me for not doing this in person but the nerves were unbearable and I wouldn't be able to convey my feelings to their full extent. Please tell me your answer asap because I don't think I can wait even a second longer without being able to call you mine.

Cal xo

PS. Sorry about the fake coffee ;) Will you let me buy you a real one tomorrow?

You beamed with pure joy because his feelings were a complete mirror of yours and that made you extremely happy. You quickly dialled in his number and almost hung up remembering he had an interview because it was playing live on the small tv behind the desk "SHIIIIIT" you cursed when it wouldn't hang up and you could see Cal reacting to the vibrate on the screen. He looked down at the caller ID biting his lip and looked at the interviewer and his band mates. "Who's that?" the interviewer questioned "Someone extremely important to me" Calum replied "Is it a girl?" the interviewer pushed. Calum just blushed and nodded in return. "Why don't you call her back, this would make a great scoop" the interviewer grinned "But she might be calling to reject me and that would just be super embarrassing." "Just do it." Luke, Michael and Ashton encouraged sending the crowd into a wild chant. Calum called you and you answered in a heartbeat. "Hello" you said innocently "Hey Y/N sorry I missed your call, so, uh what is your verdict?" He questioned. "My verdict on what?" you teased you watched him grow nervous on the TV "Will you go out with me?" he blurted. There was a deafening silence then you squealed "Of course Cal, I really, really like you oh and by the way I'm watching you go as red as a tomato right now." You giggle causing Calum to turn an even deeper shade of red.
