Chapter Thirty Three: No Interruptions This Time
Callum's POV
*edited*

It had been a week— time certainly wasn't flying, and that was most likely because I certainly wasn't having fun.

I flailed awake like a fish out of water as my phone rang and, without checking the caller ID pressed it to my ear.

"Callum. Finally. Jesus Christ dude, you're acting as if your life has already fallen apart." He said in his obnoxious fucking Australian accent.

God I wish I could punch him in the face. He irked me so badly.

"Shut up Craner." I grumbled, rubbing my temples.

There was a reason I avoided going back. It wasn't because I didn't miss Josh, I wanted to go back so badly because I missed him with my whole being. But it was because I knew when I got home I would be greeted with... chaos.

Craner scoffed. "That's not why I called dude. You should really talk to Josh, he's been all torn up about you being gone."

Like I haven't?

Being away from my best friend has majorly sucked. The days just felt like they dragged on and I spent most of them driving through towns, buying some cheep meal from Walmart or McDonalds and sleeping in the back of my truck. Oh, don't forget running until I physically collapsed.

Because that's healthy.

I cared about him. Like really really cared about him. I love my Josh, he was my best friend. And I knew I'd get over this, I'd find a way to cope. To get a new normality, whatever the hell sort of normality I have now.

It's not like anything major happened, but I was... petrified.

Things would be so much easier if I could forget anything ever happened. No, I don't want to forget kissing Josh, loving Josh. I want to have... simply not have been born.

Been born with new parents, a better life.

I wanted to see him and his stupid face but I also didn't want to.

"I'm just worried. I don't want... I don't think I can handle everything all at once again, it destroys me Craner." I sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose. "This break was supposed to be for me but all I can think about is fucking Josh."

Craner laughed loudly, "You're such a bloody dunce mate. I' me telling you bud, if all you can think about is Josh, than you basically have to go back, no?"

I grumbled under my breath. Craner was a dumbass. A big dumbass who got on my nerves to the point of no return....

So I fucking hate it when he makes sense and speaks logically.

I groaned loudly and mumbled under my breath. "Yeah. Whatever. Fine."

I needed to shower and change before I go back, Josh may think that I'm attractive, but I'd rather god fucking see me looking like I am now than Joshy. It's not like I'd been sleeping in a truck for the past week or anything.

"Good. Now, stop being a bloody whiner and go see him."

"I already said fine!" I snapped, pulling my truck out of the parking lot I had resigned in last night.
