"I swear, Calum's been looking for you in the crowd!" Larissa shouts into my ear and I look at him on stage. Not that I haven't been doing that the whole time, but I haven't noticed that he was looking for me. I immediately feel the weight of his sweater on me and I can't help but smile. I've wrapped it around my waist; it's way too hot in here.
"Sit on my shoulders!" my best friend yells and I do what she says. Larissa likes to work out and so I'm not afraid that she can't hold my weight.
"Okay, do what you can to impress Calum." she says when I make sure I sit stable and I smile. I have already written 'Lost Girl' on my arm with a marker, so I hold my arm up to the stage. Hopefully he sees it. I also yell, completely ignoring the song they're playing, "WITHOUT YOU I'M A LOST GIRL!"
And then, just when Calum adjusts his guitar strings for the next song, he sees me. He smiles that beautiful smile of his and I smile back, now knowing that he sees me. He then walks over to Michael, Luke and Ashton and says something we all can't hear.
"Okay, there's a slight change in songs because our boy Calum wants to sing it for someone special." Luke says through his microphone while Calum walks over to his.
"This one's for the Lost Girl."
It's about me. Calum's singing Wherever You Are for me.
"Hey, I would love to hold you up, but my shoulders are starting to hurt." Larissa sighs and I get off her shoulders. She rubs them and I give her a thankful smile. Then I get lost in the lyrics and a tear falls down my cheek. That was unexpected... I didn't mean to cry and don't know why I am. Maybe it's because I feel so special right now. It's a sign he hasn't forgotten about me, and a sign that he cares.
Larissa wraps her arm around my shoulder and smiles at me. "Oh come on, no crying. It's just Calum Hood who's singing a song for you." she jokes and I grin. "Nothing special, right?"
"Exactly," she says and then Calum sings the last words. Everyone starts yelling and clapping, and I just can't stop myself from wanting to hug him at this very moment.
"Amsterdam you were amazing! This song is for you!" Michael yells and strums his guitar strings. I sing along to Try Hard as loud as I can, and notice I haven't got much of a voice left. And I'm about to meet Calum in fifteen minutes...
When the concert hall starts to empty, me and Larissa hurry over to the bar to get some water. We then hurry over to the backstage door, where we are being stopped by a security guard. I show him my ticket and he smiles. "Sara... okay follow me." he says and I do what he asks me. After going through a lot of doors we get to a door which says, 'Five Seconds of Summer dressing room'. The security guard knocks on the door and says, "Calum Hood, I have a special guest for you."
"Bring her in." I hear someone say and the security guard opens the door. Before I can even say thanks, the door closes behing me and I stare right into a pair of brown eyes.
"Hey Sara." Calum smiles and I smile back. "Hey, Calum."
He looks at me and smiles again. "You're wearing my sweater." he says and a weird smile appears on my face. I don't really know what to say.
"Awkward..." Donya says and that's the moment I remember she's still there. I thought she'd be looking for Luke, but I also notice that Luke, Ashton and Michael are laughing.
"Get out!" Calum says and the four of them immediately get out of the room. With Donya being gone, I immediately feel a little lost. But Calum immediately hugs me and I'm very happy to hug him back. After he lets go he sits down on a chair after offering me something to drink. I take a sip, which feels good. "Sorry, I don't have much voice left." I say, noticing my voice is still hoarse besides the fact that I drank water. "Well, it was a good concert then." Calum says and I nod. "It sure was! Did you enjoy Amsterdam for the second time?" I ask and he nods. "Yeah, we're going to explore Amsterdam for a bit tomorrow. Would you like to come with us? I'd like to spend a day with you." he says, blushing. I find myself blushing too, but I bring myself to say, "Yes, I would like to! What time do I have to be here, then?" "Well, around ten o'clock? Before then Luke won't be able to do anything." Calum says, grinning. "Okay," I say, "Can Donya come too?" "Yeah, sure. I'm sure Luke would like that too. Can I just say that I really like how my sweater suits you?" he says and I nod. "I like it too." Calum stand up, and for some reasons I do the same. He starts to move closer to me, and I grab the table to keep myself from falling. Oh no, is he going to do what I think he's going to do? "Sara, I really-" Calum starts saying, but he gets cut off by the other boys storming into the dressing room.
"That has been enough private talking for today, or whatever you were doing," Michael yells, "Now we get the dressing room again!"
Donya comes walking in too, laughing. "Well, I guess we have to go. We still have a good hour and a half of travelling left, and it's already half past eleven, so..."
"Aww, I don't want you to go," Luke says, "So we're meeting tomorrow again?" Donya and I nod. "Sure! Ten o'clock it is then?"
"Yes, we're staying at the Victoria Hotel, meet us there." Calum says and we nod. "But hey, we're not going to let them walk alone to the train station, right?" Calum says and the rest of the boys nod. "Let's go then."
"I'm calling security right now, I don't think we're going to get there alive without them." Luke says while holding the phone against his ear. As soon as he asks, a loud voice comes out of the phone. "ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU'RE GOING TO GET KILLED, NO WAY I AM LEADING YOU OUT OF HERE."
Then the line goes dead and Luke sighs. "I take that as a no. I'm sorry. At least I asked."
Calum raises an eyebrow at his best friend and folds his arms over his chest. "Fuck it, I'm going to get her to the station." "No you're not." Luke disagrees, but Calum gives him a sceptical look. "It's not safe for her and her best friend outside. Sara, Donya, let's go."
Before anyone can protest Calum has grabbed ine and Donya's arm and leads us outside. "Did they really, really think I would let that happen?" he mutters to himself, "No way, I want the girl I like and her best friend to get out here safely."
"The girl you WHAT?" Donya says and Calum gives her a look while blushing a little.
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" my best friend says while stopping Calum from walking any further. She puts a hand on his chest and says, "You... no, we, are not going anywhere before you repeat what you just said."
"Ehm, I said that I want Sara-" "No, you said something else. Again."
"Okay, I said that I want thegirlIlikeandherbestfriendtogetoutofheresafely."
"Good. Now we can go." Donya says, obviously happy to hear it. Calum shyly walks in front of us and pushes open the heavy door. By the time we stand outside I realize I was holding my breath. I also now realize my cheeks are burning. I'm lucky that it's dark outside.
After the short walk to the train station Calum gives Donya a hug, and then me. "See you tomorrow." he says and then Donya and I get into the train. During the whole train ride we're silent. That's totally fine by me. I can't stop thinking about what Calum said.
When I get home I'm so happy I could burst. I just recieved a text from Calum.
I liked being with you today, see you tomorrow. By the way, I meant what I said :) Good night beautiful lost girl!
I end up falling asleep with my phone clutched to my chest, and a smile on my face.
