That's What Her Parents Assume

Chapter 1: The Beginning

"I love you Calum." I giggle and kiss his cheek.

"I love you too, beautiful." He chuckles with his hoarse morning voice as he looks over at me with his cheeky smile.

"Do you have to go?" I whine wrapping him into a hug and pouting up at him.

He looks down at me and laughs, "Yes darling I do, but don't worry I'll be back later." He says kissing me.

I scrunch my nose.

"What's wrong?" He asks worriedly.

"You're breath is stinky."

His face drops and he sits up emotionless.

"Calum?" I say.

But he doesn't answer, he just stands up and puts his sweater on.

"Calum?" I say again alarmed.

He doesn't answer again and just walks out of our bedroom and into the living room.

I pull the sheets off of me and peak out of the door before walking out into the living room.

"Calum?" I call getting a little pissed.

"Calum this isn't funny," I say while looking for him," I'm going to leave!" I yell.

I go to scream again, but two arms wrap around my waist and lift me up.

"If you keep screaming one of the neighbors are going to call the police." A familiar voice whispers into my ear.

I nod my head and he lets me down. Turning around I slap him on the chest and frown at him.

"What the hell was that for? Why did you do that?" I question him.

He kisses me and shrugs at me.

"Don't you shrug at me." I demand.

"Okay darling, but if I recall you were the one that told me that I had stinky breath, so I brushed my teeth for you." He whispers kissing me again.

I put my hand on his chest and break the kiss.

"You have to go." I whisper looking at the ground.

He grabs my chin and pulls it up so that I am looking at him," I wish I didn't."

Rolling my eyes I slam my head onto his chest and put my weight onto him.

"I mean, you technically don't have to, it's just band practice." I mumble.

"I can't hear you when you mumble darling." He chuckles.

"Nothing." I sit up smiling at him and walk away into the kitchen.

"Are you okay Renae?" He yells from the living room.

"Well maybe if you came in here you would actually hear what was wrong, but no." I think to myself, but don't say out loud.

Instead I say," I'm fine, would you like toast or a granola bar before you go to practice?"

"Renae, tell me what's wrong." Calum says as he walks into the kitchen over to the island and sitting on a stool.

"Of course, toast is a perfect way to start your morning, would you like butter on it to?" I quickly say ignoring his comments.

"Renae." He whispers.

"Of course, we wouldn't want you to be eating unhealthy, anything with the name butter in it you won't eat." I laugh awkwardly.

"Ren-" He starts, but I cut him off by placing his plain toast in front of him.
