"Hello, this is the Irwin residence."

"Hi, um, is Ash- would Ashton Irwin be there?"

"That's me."

"Oh. Hi."

"Uh, do I know you?"

"It's Calum. Calum Hood."

Ashton's jaw dropped, "Holy guacamole! Calum, it's you!"

"Yes, it's me." Calum laughed nervously on the other end of the line.

"Where have you been? What happened? How are you?" Ashton asked excitedly.

"I'm still at home. A lot. And not so good."

"What? Why not?"

"I can't explain right now. Could you meet me on the bus tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Okay. I have to go. See you, Ashy."

"But, I have so much-"

The line cut off.

"Dang it."

Whoa whoa whoa, Calum. You just suddenly appear a year later and now you don't even explain.

Not. Cool. Kid.

Stay Lovely. XXX- Hayley
