-Calum's POV-
"I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia, and forget about the stupid little things, like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you, and the memories I never can escape, coz I'm not fine at all, no I'm really not fine at, tell me this is just a dream, coz I'm really not fine at all." I sang to the guys, finishing the song.
"That's really good." Michael smiled, clapping me on the back. I smiled back at him and looked over at Ash and Luke.
"What'd you guys think?" I asked them.
"I thought it was great." Luke chuckled.
"Me too." Ashton nodded, smiling widely.
"Kids, there's good down here." My mother shouted. We all grinned and raced down the stairs. "Jesus." My mum muttered.

-Andy's POV-
"What do you want?" I chuckled, answering my buzzing phone.
"You left your sweater at my place." Ollie told me. I could hear his smile through the phone.
"Are you going to drop it off then?" I asked.
"I'm outside right now." He chuckled.
"Of course you are." I sighed, hanging up the phone and jogging down the stairs.
"Here." He grumbled, shoving my grey sweater at me.
"I'm sorry grumplestiltskin. It must've been a massive trouble getting over here."
"It was." He sniffled. I opened my arms and sighed.
"Does someone need a hug?" I asked, pouting slightly.
"Yes." He replied, sniffing and shuffling closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist but kept me so he could still see my face.
"Doofus." I laughed, pushing him away.
"Bye Andy." He chuckled.
"Bye Ollie." I replied, waving to him while walking back to my house. I could still hear him laughing as I shut the door.

I spent the rest of the day tying to tame the mess in my room and helping mum in the kitchen.
"So why are we baking and cooing and all of this?" I asked.
"People are coming over." She replied.
"Who people?" I asked.
"The neighbours and som-"
"Mum no! do I have to be here! please just no! can't we cancel or something or can you do it somewhere else like away from-"
"Andy get over yourself! it won't be that hard and if your really that unsatisfied you can go up to your room seeming we're having it outside." She told me.
"Fine but you owe me." I grumbled, a small smile creeping onto my face.
"Yeah yeah whatever." She chuckled. We continued making all the food in silence.
"Oh and everybody's coming at 2." She smirked.
"WHAT THE F- mum really." I growled.
"You'll live." She laughed. "And it'll do you good facing Calum."
"Okay bye" I said, scrunching up my face and walking away.
"Andy, sweetie I need help with all this don't leave." She laughed.
"This isn't funny." I growled, trying to keep the corners of my mouth from curling.
"Oh no, it's life-impacting isn't it." She said sarcastically.
"Stop it!" I laughed, hitting her arm.
"Fine fine." She laughed, moving to peel the potatoes. "Po-tay-toes."
"What even, mum. " I shook my head at her.
"I said po-tay-toes." She told me.
"I heard what you said." I laughed. "But why. Honestly mum you scare me."
"Good." She responded, her face going serious.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm perfilicious." She replied.
"Holy shit." I mumbled.
"Watch your mouth!" she scolded, a smile spreading across her face.
"And to you." I laughed, finishing icing the banana cake.

It was now 1:58 and everybody, whoever the fuck the others were, were about to get here. Mum made me sit on the couch in the living room so I would be able to get everything ready outside. The sort bell went off and I jumped.
"Oh c'mon, your two minutes early." I muttered, moving slowly to the front door. I opened it and saw Joy standing there with Calum, Michael, Ashton and Luke behind him. I mentally kicked myself for opening the door.
"Hi." I chirped, hiding my annoyance. "How are we all?"
"Good thanks Andy. How are you?" Joy asked, smiling brightly.
"I'm good thank you for asking. Mum's outside getting everything ready if you want to go out there." I answered happily.
"Okay." Joy smiled once again. Joy walked through to the backyard leaving the others standing there awkwardly.
"You are welcome inside." I chuckled.
"Are we?" Ashton asked.
"Yeah." I dragged the word out, gesturing for them to walk in. Luke rolled his eyes and took a step into my house.
"Careful, there might be booby traps." Michael warned.
"Either come inside or be a part of the welcoming committee. People are here." I stated. They all moved inside and I waited for the people to walk up to the door.
"Hi there! I'm Andy, it's nice to meet you." I smiled.
"Hi Andy, I'm Karen and this is Joey and Brooke." The nice lady introduced. She had two kids behind her, Joey looked about the same age as me and Brooke looked around 15.
"Hi. Just head on out to the backyard, my mum is out there." I told them, pointing to the hall that lead straight out to the backyard. I turned around and almost yelped when I saw that the guys were still standing there.
"Hi. You can move to my backyard if you want." I laughed.
"We want you to go first because there's probably traps or something." Michael said. I rolled my eyes fractionally and smiled.
"I'm sorry to disappoint but there aren't any." I smiled.
"Okay but we don't know where to go." Ashton smirked.
"Oh my god you dumbasses You can see it from here! move!" Luke grumbled, obviously annoyed. Michael rolled his eyes but started walking away finally. I took in a sharp breath and waited for the next group of people.

"Would anyone like a drink?" my mum asked. A few people stood up while others said yes or no. I sat in the uncomfortable hammock, swinging slightly with my legs tucked under me and a drink in my hand.
"Hey," Calum said walking up to me. It had only been twenty minutes but I still wanted to leave.
"Hi." I chirpily answered.
"You seem happy." He smiled. Not to see you, I thought.
"I guess." I shrugged, half smiling.
"Look I'm so-"
"Get over it." I growled, looking away from him.
"I can't that's the problem. I-"
"Whatever." I told him.
"Would you listen?" he asked, gritting his teeth.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm sorry." He said quickly. I smirked at him, realising that he was speaking fast so I would cut him off.
"Okay." I said.
"So, are we okay?" he asked.
"Most definitely Calum." I said, A cheesy smile spreading across my face.
"I can't think of anything else I can do!" he shouted, standing up.
"Calum," Luke warned.
"There isn't anything." I told him, staying calm. I didn't want to get in a fight with him in front of these people. My mum was looking over at us, her blue eyes full of worry.
"I told you I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I don't know what was wrong with me, I-I, Andy please forgive me." He said, louder than he should've because people were now listening.
"Calum, I can't forgive you but I'm glad you're able to realise that it was a mistake and I hope with the n-next girl..." I stopped, taking a breath. "I hope you treat her right." I stammered, trying to hold in the tears. Luke started walking over to us.
"I think you guys should talk somewhere else." Luke said, smiling sympathetically at me. Calum and I walked away from the small gathering of people to the front yard.
"I don't want another girl." Calum mumbled after a few moments of silence.
"It didn't look like that with Claudia." I responded, crossing my arms.
"Andy, I know it was stupid and that you won't forgive me but I just really need to say this." He took a deep breath. "I can't keep my mind off of you and it's driving me crazy. I've seen you crying a few times and I've seen you smiling next to Ollie. It makes me jealous but I'm happy because you've found someone else who makes you happy and that's all I need. You don't ever have to talk to me again or forgive me but I need to know one thing. Will you remember what we had?"
"Don't get all cliche on me." I said, trying to swallow the lump in my throat. Truth is, I can't keep my mind off Calum either. Even though there's Ollie, I don't think I can actually keep myths on anything for long without it drifting to Calum.
"Andy I'm serious." He told me.
"I know but I can't take it. I've cried over you countless times now. I cried myself to sleep almost every night and you didn't care. I hid my emotions anyone who dared to even talk to me about you because I was so... so... so posses off!" I shouted, finally letting out my anger.
"As I said you don't ever have to forgive me but just hear me out." He pleaded, his eyes also pleading. I nodded at him and he continued. "In life, we leap and pray that god will make us fly but then there's the rest of us who are dropping and wonder why the hell they jumped. I'm leaping because I found the only person that makes me feel like I'm flying."
"Was that a failed attempt of quoting Hitch?" I asked, smirking.
"Slightly." He smiled. I returned the smile as he took a step closer. "I'm sorry." He whispered, brushing a piece of hair from my face. I let my head fall into his hand, smiling slightly at him. "I really am sorry."
"I know." I whispered. I don't know what came over me but I wrapped my arms around his torso, obviously taking him by surprise. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, kissing the top of my head.
"I missed you." I mumbled into his chest, my voice muffled by his shirt.
"I missed you even more than you think." He told me. I jerked away from him, startling him.
"How do I know your words aren't empty?" I asked him, looking into his eyes.
"Because they were empty I wouldn't be standing here, holding you. You're smart Andy. You'd realise." He smirked.
"Fine. Whatever. Just... promise me on-" I was cut off by his lips lightly brushing mine then pulling into a smile. His lips then pressed against mine, our lips moulding together and like we had never parted. Calum pressed his forehead against mine.
"I love you Andy." He whispered, his hot breath making light goosebumps appear on my skin.
"The feelings could be mutual." I grinned. He pressed his lips to mine again, harder than before.
"I love you Andy." Calum repeated.
"Alright, I love you too Cal." I smiled, kissing his cheek and running away.
