Two Weeks Later

Tori's P.O.V.

I sat on my bed, staring at the remains of my room.  All my clothes packed into four suitcases. Everything else packed into my carry-on. I sighed, looking at my empty dresser, I felt like I was going in reverse. I kind of were too, leaving again, but I'll be back. 

I head downstairs, making two trips with my bags. I went outside and pulled the minivan into the garage, we weren't leaving it out in the open here, or at the airport for almost a year. 

Calum ran over to my house to help me bring my bags over to his house. 

"Got enough bags?" he asked laughing.

"Shut up." I say while picking up two of the suitcases. 

We walked over to his house in silence. Everyone else was already over there, all their bags already in the limo. I had tears  in my eyes, just seeing them, I didn't want to leave here. It has been a pretty fantastic four months, except for Jayci's death of course. 

I looked down at the ground and discovered a bag. 

"Who's bag is that?" I ask Calum.

"Yours. It's the stuff you had in my room still. I thought you might need it...." he says, I could feel him looking at me. I just wanted to cry, I didn't want to leave here, I loved it. Yeah, there's a lot more too see and more people to meet. But, where ever I go I'll get bombarded by fans and photographed by paparazzi. I like this quiet little neighbor hood, Calum Hood, and they way we were, before the proposal. Me saying no screwed up everything, I felt like he started loving me less because of it.

"Let's go." Ashton says. We all pile in the limo. The seating goes: Megan, Ashton, Luke, Rylie, Ashanti, Michael, Calum, and then me, right next to the door. There was just enough room in the limo for all eight of us, so I wasn't squished or anything.

Ten minutes into the drive to the airport, my phone started ringing. I checked to see who was calling.

"Its Theo." I say. 

"Put him on speaker." Calum suggests.

I hit the answer button and the speaker button. "Hey..." I say into the speaker.

"Hey, Tori. Can I tell you  something?" he asks. "Right now." he adds. 

Calum looks at me and soon does everyone else. "Okay, go ahead." I say hesitant.

"I know I won't see you for a while because you're leaving for almost a year. However, I just really need to tell you.......I......love you, and it hurts so much when I see you with Calum." He says. "I love you so much it hurts." The car when silent. All eyes were on me, every pair except the driver's. "Hello? Tori?" Theo asks. 

"Dude, just get over it! Theo seriously,. she's mine girlfriend. You guys dated in high school seriously!" Calum says.

"We didn't just date if you know what I mean Calum."

"That's included in dating Theo." I say.

"I know. You didn't tell him did you?" I froze.

"Didn't tell me what?" Calum says. "What didn't  you tell me Tori?" I didn't answer. A minute or two passed by. 

"Should I tell him?" Theo says. I shook my head and then realized he couldn't see me.

"No." I say weakly.

"Are you going to then?" Theo says. He waits a minute for my response. "No? Okay, I will."  he says, I can just imagine the smirk on his face right about now. "Well, in high school, I asked Tori to marry me. She said yes, god I was the happiest I could ever be. We were planned to get married in late June, just after we graduated.  The day of our wedding it  was over 100 degrees and we decided to hold it off for a week. During that week, Tori and her friends were busy and ran off..." he  pauses. "to Australia." he says. "That's why I was so shocked when you asked her to marry you. I wanted to see her run off again, but I guess she just said no and ran off with you."

"Theo, I ran off for a reason. I love Calum a thousand times more than I ever loved you. Plus, he would never cheat on me.  He would never yell at me like you did." I say with tears forming in my eyes. The car stops and the driver comes around and opens the door.

We all get out of the limo and get our bags. There is already paparazzi and fans the airport entrance. Most of the fans weren't happy with me. The last two weeks on twitter and instagram was all hate, it didn't stop, and I don't think I will anytime soon. Calum even tried to stop them, and it worked for about an hour or two.

As we approach the entrance, I'm almost blinded by the flashes of the cameras and deaf by the fans' screams

-

It took us a little bit to get through security, check our bags, and to the gate. I led the way here, and as I turn around to face everyone else, I feel my heart break, 

"Wow, I guess this is goodbye." I say trying to hold back my tears.

"No, it doesn't have to be. Come with us. Let me change your ticket. Don't go to New York." Calum says.

"Calum, but New York is my home. I belong there."

"No, your home is in my arms. You belong in my arms." he says holding my hands. "Please.' he begs.
