"Hey what's up?" His voice echoed through the phone.

"I...I think we should talk when are you back?" I answered rubbing my eyes. Calum's arm wrapped around my back.

"Uh... Thursday so the day after tomorrow, why..." I hung up before he could finish.

I put my head on Calum's shoulder and sighed.

"I don't want to go home, mums going to know I've been crying" I whispered.

"You can stay at my house! Mum and Dad are going out tonight and my sister is sleeping at her friends house." He said hopping up.

Calum reached a hand out and pulled me up before letting me exit the tree house first. We walked along the path in silence. There were no cars zooming past, no birds tweeting. Nothing.

"I'm sorry" Calum sighed, "I shouldn't of acted the way I did."

"You had every right too" I said walking up the driveway of Calum's house.

He grabbed his keys out of his pocket and started twisting each key through the door until one unlocked. He opened the door and stepped away allowing me to go in.

"Thanks" I said before sitting on the black leather lounge.

"Want popcorn?" Calum asked putting a packet of popcorn into the microwave.

"Yes!" I smiled as he came and sat on the lounge with me.

The popcorn popped obviously in the microwave and eventually blew up to full size. When the microwave went off Calum stood up and came back with some delicious smelling Popcorn.

I took a handful of popcorn and shoved it in my mouth.

"Yum" I said with my mouth full.

We put finding Nemo on and watched that. By the end of the movie we were throwing popcorn at eachother.

Each time Calum would catch it in his mouth and eat it where as I missed all of them. Literally there was popcorn covering the floor on my side.

"YES!" I celebrated when I finally caught one in my mouth.

I pulled myself up and walked over to the kitchen to get a drink.

Luckily there was one Coke left in the fridge. So I grabbed it and walked back out to the lounge room but as soon as I turned the corner I ran into Calum and dropped the Coke.

"Sorry" we both said at the same time.

"Do you want to borrow a shirt to wear for the night?" Calum asked handing me a black shirt.

"Thanks" I said grabbing the shirt and the coke off the ground.

"Here" I said handing him the shaken coke can "you can have it"

I walked up the stairs with the shirt and got changed into it. It was big on me.

Then I walked back down he stairs and sat on the lounge. Calum was in his "sleepover" pjs which made him look like a three year old.

Then he opened the coke.

"Ahhhh it's shaken" he screamed while the coke spilt all over his pjs,

"What are you going to wear now?" I said cheekily.

Calum playfully stormed off and came back with only boxers on.

"Right" I said trying not to look at him, "where am I going to sleep?"

"I will sleep on the couch you can sleep in my bed." He said flopping down on the couch.

"I can sleep on the couch if you want." I said concerned.
