Reflection {Calum Hood}

Chapter 8

"C'mon guys lets go, let's go!" I briskly yelled, as the boys were running onto the stage.

"Thanks Maddie!" yelled Luke.

"See ya after the show!" yelled Michael.

"Hey, my water bottles are at my drum set right?" Ashton asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"Awesome."

Calum came walking slowly.

"Calum c'mon your band mates are already up there." I yelled. "Get a move on."

"Ok clam down bitch...sheesh." You got my new bass strap?"

"Yep." I replied.

"Great."

I'm about to take that bass strap and strap it around his neck. Did he not remember what just happened?

I FRICKIN PUT MY LIPS ON THAT MOUTH.

And he still treats me like trash.
I hate that boy.

"Please don't let the music industry change him to be even worse than he already is." I begged Ashton after the show.

"Is that even possible?" He replied.

"Look I know that Calum's being a complete asshole 24/7 and I know that he doesn't appreciate anything anyone does around here, but I truly think he's misunderstood." I stated.

"Alright. But he's still an asshole, so that doesn't change anything." Ashton said. "Hey do you want anything for dinner?" He asked as he pulled out his phone.

"No I'll just grab something off of the bus." I replied.

As I headed to the kitchen area of the bus, I looked around for Calum. I saw Luke,face timing Tina, Michael playing video games, but no Calum. He was nowhere to be found.

"Hey Ash, where's Calum?" I asked.

"Um I thought I saw him step out of the bus like an hour and a half ago..getting fresh air."

"Fresh air?" I asked.

"Oh." He replied.

"Here!" He suggested. We all put our phones into the "Find My iPhone app", in case one of us gets lost."

He pulled up all of the phones on the app. They were all in the same place except for Calum's.

"Where is it? Where's Calum's phone!?" I questioned.

"Uh, some bar about 20 minutes away from here."

"A bar? We have to go get him. Now."

I gave the tour bus driver the directions, as we sped off to retrieve Calum.

We pulled up to the bar and we all immediately hopped off the bus and sped through the door.

I asked the bartender where Calum was, while the rest of the boys looked.

"Excuse me sir?"

"And what can I get for the lovely little lady?" He asked me.

"No I'm not here to buy a drink. I'm looking for a boy; tall, black hair, is wearing a lot of black, he looks Asian but he's not? Have you seen someone like this?" I questioned.

"Yeah. He replied, he left about 15 minutes ago, said something about how his life is empty and he's not driving so why not get totally wasted?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Ok thank you." I replied. Do you know which direction he went?"

"No, why would I care?"

"Ok then, bye."

I left and met up with the boys outside.

"Ok so Calum left about 15 minutes ago, but the bartender had no idea where he went." I concluded.

Luke spoke, "Yeah, we also have another problem."

"A huge problem." Ashton realized.

"Omg what is it this time?" I whined.

Michael started, "Well apparently Calum became totally wasted and started a fight in the bar."

"What?"

"Yeah, so he got in a huge fight in the bar, words were spoken, punches were thrown, and glasses were shattered." Luke said.

"Please tell me no one got this on video."

"Not only did they get it on video, but they posted it to YouTube right when Calum left. Which was about 15 minutes ago, so it probably has over 200 views..." Ashton concluded.

"Wow. This is really bad. We have to find him." I jumped back on the bus with the boys following behind me.

"Ok, um, let's keep going forward. It looks like there is a little forest up there, and if I know one thing about Calum, it's that he likes to be alone."

As we pulled up to the little forest, we jumped out of the tour bus and traveled through all together, for fear of being lost.

"Calum!" We called out.

"Where are you?"

"Please come out."

We were wondering through crunchy leaves, trees that towered over us, and tons of bushes with thorns in them.

We stopped in front of a tree and talked.

"How much longer do you think we'll have to look for him?" Ashton wondered.

"I don't know." I answered. "But I'm getting really worried. He's out completely drunk, alone, in the woods."

"Omg you guys are sooo big I must be a little baby compared to you big tall giants." A voice mocked.

We looked down. "CALUM!" We exclaimed. He was sprawled out against the trunk of the tree.

"And that one's funny looking." He pointed to Michael.

"Hey. Your not exactly handsome yourself." Michael snapped back.

"YES I AM!" yelled Calum.

"Sure you are Calum." I said as we lifted him up from the tree.

As we carried him back to the bus he spoke to me.

"Hey your pretty." He said.

"Um thanks?" I said as we led him up the stairs of the bus to his bunk.

"Your hair is so brown and blonde at the same time and I like how it different colors like tye dye." He said.

We hoisted him onto his bunk. The boys left, but I decided to wait with Calum until he fell asleep.

I thought he fell asleep, so I started to leave, but was interrupted when I heard, "Wait, pretty girl?"

"Yes?" I replied.

"Will you cuddle with me? I feel lonely."

I thought for a moment.

"Sure." I said.

Why not.

I climbed up onto his bunk and got in between the covers.

As he held me in his strong arms, I felt my heart flutter as he pulled me in closer to him.

"Goodnight Madelygin" he said.

I laughed because of how his words slurred when he was drunk.

"Goodnight Calum."
