Long Way Home

fourteen

Calum hugged me tightly as we stood in the middle of the airport, silent tears streaming down my face as i hid my face in his chest, i didn't want to leave but i couldn't stay here, maybe when i got home i could sit down with Wren and talk about this, i mean I could always become a nurse.

"I don't wanna go" i whispered, cals hands cupping my cheeks. I frowned and looked up at him as he kissed me forehead, "Carter.." he whispered, his eyes softening "Be mine, be mine before you leave" I pouted and held his shirt tightly in my hands.

"you can't ask me to be your girlfriend before I leave, that just unfair" I spoke, letting out a sob as he wrapped his arms around me again, feeling his head hitting my shoulder, "say yes, please- i don't want you leaving without being mine" I took in a deep breath, pulling away from him as i heard the call for my flight. "Im yours cal." i muttered, leaning up to kiss him for the last time.

After letting go of his hand i boarded my plane, taking one last glimpse of him, my heart ached. I shoved my carry on under my seat and sent a message off to wren telling her i was on my plane.

cal x : I miss you already

carter: i miss you too cal, kiss duke for me

cal x: i will, message me when you land, xx

I honestly couldn't get over the fact that Calum asked me to be his girlfriend, a nobody like me, was dating a famous bassist from a band. How did this happen?

I locked my phone and plugged my earphones in, hearing the screams of a few girls behind me. "oh my god, we just met Calum hood! he looks like he was crying in these pictures but my god hes hot." I cringed slightly and turned my music on, scrolling through twitter, Mikey had forced me to download it but in all honesty i didn't get it.

I unlocked my door, my body aching from how tired I was as well as the little sleep in got from overthinking the articles from twitter, i reminded myself to ask wren and cal about them. As i walked past Wrens room i noticed some boxes on her bed, was she moving?

Calling out for her she yelled back from the shower, telling me she wouldn't be long, i nodded to myself and made my way to my bed where i laid down.

Collecting my thought I grabbed my phone and face timed cal quickly. I was greeted with his tired face and a cute duke on his chest, "Hey, baby" I smiled softly. "Did i wake you?" whispering he hook his head and turned a lamp on. "No, you're okay" I smiled softly and nodded, taking my shoes off I bit the inside of my cheek as i stared at the screen.

"you okay, love?" I hummed and nodded, running my fingers through my hair. "Yeah, i'm okay- i just, on the plane before I took off i saw some articles on twitter about us, and they kind of creeped me out, like they took photos of us hugging cal, i didn't even know people saw us" i sighed, watching him nod.

"Im sorry, Carr- i really should've warned you or told you about it" He mumbled, i shook my head as i heard wren get out of the bathroom. "No its okay, truely i just wasn't prepared for that" i laughed softly and yawned. "Can i call you later? i'm super tired and you look like you haven't slept, goodnight cal, i miss you." He smiled and bidded me a goodbye before hanging up.
