|Calum's POV|

'Somehow I feel like the universe doesn't want me to be happy

Like somehow it knows that I'll fuck it up and lose everything

I feel like I'm drowning in my sorrows as everyone's prayers are being answered

Does the universe not want me to be happy?

Am I stuck in this endless life of regret?

Or will i slowly die when I sink into a bottomless pit of hate?...'

I closed my journal and hid it in a shoe box inside my cupboard.

"Calum honey, Come downstairs your father and I need to talk to you and Mali." My mother called from downstairs.
Once I entered the room my eyes immediately set on Mali who looks so god damn excited...

"What's up?" I asked casually sitting in the brown soft sofa.

"Well as you know your father and I are heading out to Canada this weekend for business and you also know it's Mali's birthday tomorrow" she started.

"Yeah, and?"

"Well, your father and I were thinking, and we need you to stay home this weekend and kind of be a 'host' for Mali's party" She continues.

"What? It's Luke's mum's birthday and he invited me over for the weekend while she goes away, mum... Come on its guys night! Mali is old enough to look after herself, she's 17" I stated absolutely pissed at my parents. "almost 18" I add while rolling my eyes. They think they can just guide me in life, I can do things on my own and so can Mali. I don't need them to tell me where I can and can't be. Oh and did I mention I'm the youngest? Doesn't fucking make sense as to why I have to look after my 18 year old sister on her birthday!

"Calum, were the parents and your staying home staying this weekend." My dad speaks up.

"I'm fucking younger than her!? So what's the real reason you want me home this weekend?" I ask as I stare at my father. He seems to be the one behind me always staying home, he has this thing where he doesn't let me do shit, and for what reason?

"Fine. We heard that Luke and Michael got into a bit of trouble with the police enforcement and we don't think it's a good idea to be with them after they just get out on bail." My father says.

You. are. fucking. kidding. me.

"Are you kidding me! You know mike and Luke, they won't make me do anything illegal! There my fucking best friends!" I raise my voice.

"I don't think you should be seeing the-" my mother starts but I soon cut off, there not doing this.

"No, I'm going this weekend because I can. There not going to do anything illegal and neither am I. So thank you for your concern parents, but your not keeping me from seeing my fucking best mates." I smile sarcastically
"For a matter of fact, I'm going now, I'll see ya when you get back from Canada" I say and storm off to my room and pack my things, clothes, phone and charger, video games in bag, and my journal in hand. I grab my guitar and head back downstairs.

"Calum!" My father yells as I walk towards the door, he opens it and shoves me outside walking out afterwards and closing the door behind him.

"Now listen here you little prick, you ever speak that way to your mother again and you will be on the streets quicker than you tell me your name, got it!?" He whisper shouts.

"Fuck off" I say, roll my eyes and start my journey to Luke's place.

~.~.~.~.~

As I'm walking past the small empty park twenty minutes from Luke's place, I spot a small figure sitting in a tree starring at the mountains far north over the horizon.
As I get a little closer I start to make out the physical features of the person.

-small
-petite body
-long blond hair

I walk right up to the tree and place my stuff down, leaning the guitar against the tree stump.

"Hey" I say. Her eyes gleam down above me as she stares down at me her small smile playing cutely at her lips.

"Hey" she replies softly squirming in her place.

"What are you doing in a tree Ella?" I laugh as she looks back at the mountains.

"My dad's most favourite thing in the world was looking at mountains from afar, i never knew why, but now I do." She smiles to herself. "There beautiful. The way the mountains play on the shapes and how the sun gleams over them and makes them seem so tall...my dad always used to say 'you never understand natures beauty until you feel a certain connection'. I never understood that either" she laughs "I just wish I knew before so we could have watched the sun go down over the horizon together without me being worried time would go to fast, I would of just let it happen and enjoy it." She sighs and looks back at me with a sad smile. She starts to get down out of the tree and I offer her my hand to help.

"It's getting dark, you should get going" I say.
"This is when the monsters come out" I tease trying to lighten the mood. She's upset and reminiscing, she needs to get her mind away from reality for a bit.
She laughs and grabs my hand to jump down.

"Thanks." She smiles "and I was here first and I don't have a whole wardrobe out here- man why do you have clothes, games and a guitar?" She laughs.

"I'm going to Luke's place this weekend" I add.

Her smiles radiates over me. She's so beautiful. I never actually realised, that she was naturally gorgeous.

"Hey, do you want to come to Luke's, get your mind off of things for a bit?" I Ask, not for my personal needs of wanting her with me, but because i genuinely want to make her feel better and not be so depressed.

"I don't know" she sighs "you know Luke and I don't get along, he probably doesn't want me at his house let alone his street." She rolls her eyes. Ella and Luke live on the same street, and he always tells her she needs to just move away so him and his family can live in 'peace'. He might be my best mate, but he can actually be a total tool.

"Nah he'll be alright, I'll just tell him you need some fun, mike will be there too, oh and so will ash, don't worry" I say trying to convince her.

She bites her lip while she contemplated whether to come or not and I can't help but notice that she does this all the time, and when she's nervous she tucks that always one loose strand of hair behind her ears. It's cute.

"Okay, but promise I'll have fun?" She asks.

"I promise" I smirk and gather my things as we start heading to Luke's place yet again.
