With 9 Idiots

Chapter 41

(Calum's pov)

I walked into my room outraged. All my parents wanted to do was make her feel welcome, like she was really part of the family. And the whole time she was miserable! I thought she would at least take the time to get to know them. They did all they could to impress her. She didn't even make an effort.

"Calum" I heard Georgette says as she knocked on the door.

"Go away" I said.

"Please Calum, let me explain" she pleaded knocking on the door again.

I walked to the door and unlocked it. I opened it slightly reveling Georgette's face. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were puffy.

"Can I come in?" She asked.

I moved away from the door and gestured for her to come in. She walked in and turned to face me.

"Talk" I said sitting down in the chair to my desk.

"Calum, I did not mean to say those things about our-your family. It's just hard being with a family who says their mine, when I've spent my whole life with another. For the last 17, almost 18, years I have believed that I was born into the Malik family. But I was not. It's very difficult Calum. You will not be able to understand the feeling of knowing your family is not actually your family. Please, I will do anything to get you to forgive me. That is not what I meant to say, it just slipped. I'm so sorry" she finished with tears running down her cheeks.

I walked up to her and wiped the tears from her eye.

"I'm sorry. I know you've been through so much, and for me to jump to conclusions like that was wrong. I'm so sorry" I said.

She hugged me, as I hugged her back.

"Our first little brother, sister argument. Huh?" I said.

"Yea, I've had a couple with Zayn, but they never lasted longer than 2 hours" she said.

"Well that's when siblings are for" I said as she followed me out the door.

We went down stairs to see mom and dad still sitting on the couch waiting.

"You guys ready now?" Mom asked.

"Yea" we both said.

We left and headed to the restaurant.

(Zayn's pov)

"Then number 25 ran passed the other team and made it in the goal!" Niall said way too excited over this stupid football game.

"Hey" Harry said sitting next to me.

"Hey" I answered.

"Why are you all by yourself?" He asked.

"I really don't care about last night's football game" I said looking at my phone.

"Why did you make Georgette cheat on Luke?" I asked not thinking before I asked it.

"You're like the second person today" he said.

"Who else asked you?"

"My mom"

"Just answer" I said.

"I'll tell you the same thing I told her, I love that girl. I've loved her since the day I met her. It's just her eyes, her lips, the way she scrunches her nose when she talks. It's just everything about her. I wanted to ask her out but I got too scared. And Luke grew the guts to do it before I did" he explained.

"How long have you liked Georgette?" I asked.

"Since I met her, I said that"

"Oh you did, I zone out sometimes" I said laughing at myself.

"Did you hear anything I said?" He asked.

"Yes I did, I just didn't hear that part" I said.

"We're gonna go play football outside, you coming?" Louis asked.

"Yea sure" I said. I'm bored anyway to why not.

We walked out to Liam's parent's backyard. Niall grabbed the ball from the porch and held it in his hands.

"Ok, me and Louis on one team, you 3 on the other" he said.

"Alright let's go" Liam said.

...

We played until Karen (Liam' mom) said we had to go inside and eat.

"We won!" Louis screamed as him and Niall high-fived.

"This is not over" Harry said following them into the house.

(Georgette's pov)

"And Calum insisted on dropping out of school, we believed this band was going to get somewhere so we let him. Good thing we let him" Mr. Hood said.

The food came and we started eating.

"I don't like that waitress" Mrs. Hood said.

"Why?" Calum asked.

"She keeps looking at my husband.

"Like mother, like daughter" Calum said.

"What?" Mrs. Hood asked.

"Today, Georgette flipped out on a waitress because she was hitting on Luke. It was great. She scared that girl so good" he said making us laugh.

"Well, she shouldn't be hitting on my man" I said.

"That's right G, make them stay away from our guys" Mrs. Hood said. I winced at her calling me by my nickname. I only allowed close friends and family to call me "G". It just bothered me when others said it.

...

We walked in the house and turned on the lights.

"I'm gonna go to bed, it's late anyway" I said.

"Ok, goodnight sweetie" Mrs. Hood said.

"Goodnight" I answered.

(Luke's pov)

I was sitting in my room, really bored. So I called Georgette.

"Hello" I heard her say on the other end.

"Hey beautiful how are you?" I asked.

"Ok, me and Calum got in a fight today, but we got over it"

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked.

"It's complicated"

"Alright, my mom wants me to go to her job with her tomorrow and we had to leave really early. I only get 5 hours of sleep so I have to go" I said.

"Ok I love you" she said.

"I love you too" I said hanging up.

....

"Class, this is my son Luke" my mom said introducing me to her class. My mom was a math teacher at our local elementary school.

"I know who he is" one girl said shaking and looking like she was about to cry. She held up her folder which had a picture of my band on it.

"Well for those of you who don't know my son, he is in a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. You will not see Luke around so much because his band goes on tour" she said.

"That's cool" one boy in the back said....
