Infinity c.h (on hold)

Anastasia's POV

I yawn, opening my eyes to the harsh rays of the sunlight and quickly shutting them again.

I didn't even bother to check the time, I figured it was around 10am.

Yeah, I should've definitely checked the time.

I walk over to my wardrobe; peeling off my shirt from my sweaty body and picking out a red flannel.

*tap tap*

"Oh my lord." I say; averting my eyes to a smiling Calum who was also hanging from my window again.

I look at my clock, noticing it was already 1pm.

"Calum you're such a butt hole. You know that right?" I say, opening the window so he can climb in. "Yeah but..." He trails off; his gaze moving towards my chest area.

"Perv." I mumble whilst pulling the flannel on.

"Hey I didn't nearly kill myself this time." Calum says, earning a smile from me.

"This project is due in a month. We need to finish it." I say whilst dragging him down the stairs.

"When we met... It was sort of like a movie scene, don't you agree?" Calum asks me, I push him onto the couch, "I guess so, it was really unexpected." I say; his eyes shining.

"You can get started on printing out some pictures." I say as I walk over to the kitchen.

We were separated for only a few minutes but it suddenly felt like hours.

I gagged at the thought of missing Calum as I make my way over to him and my laptop (he wasn't even looking up pictures he was looking at you know what.)

15 minutes later

"I'll be right back." Calum says, heading upstairs, presumably to the bathroom.

My mind wanders off the pictures and before I know it, I'm typing in the url to the school blog.

My eyes trail over the countless pictures and letters, until I finally settle on one.

ANASTASIA JONES AND CALUM HOOD DATING??

The two were spotted driving up to (Calum) Hood's house very early in the morning, was he at Ana's house for the night? What were they up to? Has Calum finally found the key to not only her heart, but other places as well?

I let out a breath I never even knew I was holding.

Who edits this shit?

I close the laptop, leaning back into my chair.

Maybe Calum did like me, maybe he actually wanted something more than a quick fuck.

I retrace his steps all the way up to the bathroom.

"I know baby, I just really need the marks." I hear Calum say.

I press my ear up against the door to listen further.

"I'm just trying to be friendly, I would never do that to you. She's nothing more than a friend." He says; lowering his voice.

"She's such a stuck-up bitch, no wonder no one likes her." He says quietly.

"I'll see you soon baby. I l-love you too." He says.

My heart shatters to pieces. He was faking everything. He was faking being my friend, he was faking it all. Everything was a lie.

I step away from the door, letting him open it.

He notices me, his expression going from cocky to sympathetic.

"Ana-" I slap him before he says anything else, "It was all a joke. Wasn't it? I'm just a girl you used, why don't you throw me in the trash with all the other girls you've used? Why am I suddenly different? Since when do you need good grades?" I rambled; staring him down.

Calum pushes me up against th wall, "Listen to me, please just hear me out." He pleads, getting down on his knees.

I can feel the tears coming and I struggle to get the next few words out.

"I'm just another girl, Calum. You'll forget about me soon. Just leave." I say, looking down at our hands intertwined together.

"Anastasia." He says, slowly losing his tight grip on my hands.

"Why did you keep me around for so long? Why didn't you f*ck me and get it over with? Was I not good enough for you to f*ck me?" I say, wiping away the few tears that had fallen.

He opens his mouth to speak but I can't hear him anymore.

He's lost. I'm lost. We're so disconnected.

I point to the door and walk back to my room, making sure to slam it loudly.

But there was something that I never said to him. Somthing I didn't want to admit.

I open my door quietly, watching him leave.

Why did you let me fall for you?

1 hour later

I unravel myself from the sheets, wiping my remaining tears on them.

I run down the stairs; my eyes filling up with tears already.

I can still smell him, his cologne was so strong.

I grab my binder and my laptop, rushing back up the stairs, trying to avoid his scent.

It sounds like we had broken up. In a way, we did break up.

I sit back down on my bed, opening the laptop once again.

But to my surprise, there's a note folded neatly in the center of the keyboard.

I open it and start reading through it.

It was from Calum.

to my one and only anstasia:

what you heard was all wrong, please just let me explain. i don't want to end a bad note, so let me sort all this shit out. i am the reason that you're ignoring me. but you're the only reason that i haven't quit school yet. the only reason. meet me at the hanging tree, i just want it to be like before. we were so crazy and stupid, just let me explain.
