Calum's pov:

By the time I woke up, it was almost time to start getting ready for our next concert. Me and Alli had stayed up until 3 in the morning talking. She's really funny, and treats me like a normal person, not like some amazing famous person. I yawn and look over at the clock. 4:55. Shit.

I jump out of bed and run into the bathroom. I shower and brush my teeth, and grab an outfit. I pull on a plain black sleeveless shirt and my usual ripped black skinny jeans with black and white converse. By the time my hair is sorta done, it's 5:27. I grab my phone and the hotel key and rush to the kitchen area.

"Finally awake, sleeping beauty?" Ashtom asks, laughing. Everyone is sitting on the couches around the tv, all dressed and ready to go.

"Let's just go." I say,  turning to walk to the hallway. Everyone follows along. We go downstairs to regular car waiting.

The car drops us off, and I lead Amber to her usual seat. I kiss her cheek and get ready to walk backstage when she grabs my arm.

"Can we-um. Can we talk after the concert tonight?" She says, playing with the bottom of her white v neck. I bite onto my lip;this doesn't sound too good.

"Of course I say, smiling at her. She smiles back, gives me a quick kiss on the lips, easing some of the nerves built up  from her question. I walk backstage to my dressing room, and pull out my phone

To Alli
What does it mean when a girl asks to talk with you later?

I wait a few minutes before getting a reply that makes my heart drop.

From Alli
Get ready for some serious shit.
Praying for you

Amber's pov:

Throughout the entire concert, I'm on edge about the talk with Calum. I have no idea how it's going to go, but I just hope it goes well.

"Goodnight everybody!" Ashton yells into the mic as they all take their awkward little bows. I get out of  my seat and slowly make my way backstage. I wipe my sweaty palms onto my black jeans and walk towards Calum's dressing room. I walk in to see a sweaty shirtless Calum. Goddamn. Focus Amber!

"Hey! So... um, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Calum asks as he heads into the bathroom to change. You sit onto the small loveseat.

"Uhhh.... well you see..." I start, but stop when I feel the chair vibrate. I feel around and grab his phone.

New text message from Alli:
Did you talk to Amber yet?!?

"Who's Alli?!" I ask, anger evident in my voice. Calum quickly rushes out of the bathroom back to where I'm  sitting.

"Who the fuck is Alli? " I yell.

"Calm down, I-I  swear it isn't what you think. " he stutters as he speaks. "We met on the beach the day I ran off, and she's really nice, but we are just friends!"

"Unlock your phone." I say, holding his phone out to him. He puts his password in, and hands it back hesitantly.

"There really isn't anything there Amber." He mutters as I scroll through the conversation.

"For just friends, you guys talk a lot." I snap as I scroll up. I stop at a conversation that happened last night around the time we were all watching the scary movie.

"You were asking her for advice with us, and she told you to break up with me?" I ask, and he nods. "And you were planning on going through with that, weren't you?"

"No, Amber, it isn't like that. I just didn't know what to do! This is all just so confusing, and that seemed like an option at the very least. Just listen to m-" I cut him off.

"Let me just save you the trouble then. Congrats, Calum. You are now single." I scream before running out his room. I run down the hall through twist and turns until I finally can't hold it in any longer. I rush into the nearest bathroom and break down into tears.

About a half minute later, someone timidly knocks onto the door.

"Amber? Are you okay? It's Luke, let me in."
