F*cking cliché

07

'Did you miss me sweetheart?'
I find my body being pressed against a wall, 'I must say.. I'm surprised to see you in a place like this. It just doesn't fit you.. you know.'

I don't react to him and just stare at the dancing crowd.

'Calum?' he waves his hands in front of my eyes making me focus on him, 'Did you drink?' 'Hm?'
'Calum how much alcohol did you drink?!' He asks strictly.
'Don't ya ye..yell at me!'
'Calum.. you're going home, now!'
'You're mean!'

I giggle when he touches my arm.

'Dammit Calum, come on you're going home.'

He pulls me with him, almost making me lose my balance.

'Hollld up.. Rose won' kno' I left.'
'Who's Rose?' 'Just a ccol..olleague.'
'You can send her a message.. come on.'

He grabs my hand which makes me giggle again.
He shakes his head and takes me somewhere.. I guess home.

Yea.. we went home.
Where I throw up.. luckily in the toilet.

What happens after I really don't remember.

'

The next day it feels like my head wants to murder me. On top of that I feel extremely dehydrated.. great.

Somehow my memories about yesterday night are completely wiped clean.

I turn to my side and notice a piece of paper on my nightstand.

I reach out and grab it folding it open while trying to ignore my headache.

-Call me, don't hesitate just do it. L

This means Levi has been in my house.. wait why am I even in my own house.. I was staying at Rose's.

Did he make me feel like this?
Did he somehow erase my memories?

I decide to just call him since I'm still alive and I don't know what he will do if I don't.

Slowly I scroll through the phone he left me searching for the number he called me with a few days ago.

The phone rings and rings and ri..

'Calum?'
'What did you do?' I ask.
'I didn't do anything.. y..'
'Why do I feel like shit then?'
'You were drunk Calum, you should have some painkillers, drink a lot of water and just sleep it off,' he replies.

'Is that the only reason I had t..'
'I don't hear you walking.'

I sigh and get out of bed to get everything I need.

'Okay got it,' I mumble into the phone as I make my way back to the bed.

'How did you even..'
'Find you? Just coincidence.'
'And you didn't beat me up?'
'No Calum,' he chuckles, 'I didn't beat you up. I was planning to but when I notice you weren't sober I just brought you home.' 'Why?'
'You were a mess Calum, besides.. there's no fun in beating you up if you don't remember.'

'I hope I was difficult,' I mutter.
'You were giggly and clingy.'
'But was I difficult?' I reply.
'You didn't want to go to bed and were basically hanging around my leg like a toddler.'

I feel my cheeks heat up out of embarrassment.

'Why didn't you just leave me?'
'I don't know. Anyway,' his voice becomes louder, 'go to bed.'
'Yes sir,' I mumble and turn on my side. 'Calum that makes me feel old.'
'You are.' 'That would make you old as well,' he replies. 'Maybe I am.'

'Just go to bed, prepare yourself for what's going to happen to your body later.' 'Excuse you?' 'You'll find out.'
'I don't think I will,' I mumble.
He sniggers, 'Bye Calum.'

And with that he ends our call.

'

I wake up again around twelve so I didn't sleep for that long but I at least feel a bit better.

A few minutes later I hear a phone ringing..
wait this is my own phone, this is going to be so confusing.

'Yea?' 'Are you feeling better? I'm sorry for taking you to that place and leaving you alone.. can I make it up with going out for lunch?'
She gets to the point immediately.
'Yea sure, I'm to lazy to make something anyway.'
'I'll pick you in about.. half an hour.'

'

'I wasn't expecting fast food,' I say with a quiet laugh.
'I didn't want to risk going somewhere and find out it was either full or the food sucks. So.. fast food is the better option.' 'Right.'
'We don't need to wait for hours as well.'

I was sitting on top of a low wall while she was leaning against it, burger in one hand and a drink in the other.
It all tastes the same.. it's hard to screw something like this up.
I don't care.. I like it no matter what.

'So.. how did you even get home yesterday?' 'I don't know.. I honestly don't remember a thing,' I answer.
'I'm sorry I thought you had it.. I saw them coming up to you.. offering you something. I thought you had it.. I'm sorry Calum.'
'It's fine Rose, I did it myself, I got drunk. I should've just turned down the offer.. it's fine I was just being stupid.' 'Still.. I feel bad for even taking you there.'

She keeps on apologizing for a few minutes and I just keep eating my burger.

'I can easily push you off this wall sweetheart,' I hear someone whisper into my ear.

I turn around and see the one I really don't want to see crouching behind me.

'Who's this?' 'Rose,' I mumble. 'Ah.'

She turns around to see him as well.

'Uhm.. what's going on?'
'I'm just taking your colleague with me.. that's all,' he says with a smirk before dragging me with him.

'I didn't think so! Leave him alone!'

She tries to get to us but it's to late.. I'm already gone.

Just around the corner he pushes me into a car and puts a blindfold over my eyes.

'What are you doing?'
'We're going for a ride.'

That's all he answers.
