As I'm stirpping off to take a shower, I hear my phone begin to ring.

"Shit." I mumble, walking out of the bathroom and to my room, half naked.

I grab my phone and plop down onto the bed, answering the call. "Hello?" I say.

"Hey bitch!" Leslie says, "Are you feeling any better?" She asks, making me smile.

"Yeah, I was just about to take a shower."

"Oh, good cause I was gonna ask if you wanted to go to a party at Eli's house." She says as I hear rustling through her line of the phone.

I run my fingers through my hair then cross my arms over my chest. "Yeah sure, when?" I ask.

"Come at about 11 or something." She replies and I nod, though she cant's see me.

"Can I bring somebody?"

"I don't care," We talk for about 5 more minutes before she let's me take a shower because she says I "smell like ass."

I walk back to the bathroom and turn on the water 'fuck, I forgot to tell her about Calum..' I thought to myself.

. . .

I hop out the shower and dry myself off, wrapping my hair up into the towel, then quickly heading back to my room.

I walk over to my closet and grab a random shirt, slipping it on, along with some jeans.

I grab my phone and dial Leslie's number before pressing call.

I sigh and hold the phone up to my ear, waiting for her to answer.

"The hell you want?" She asks, answering right on the second ring.

"I need to tell you something...It's important." I say, chipping my nail polish off nerviously.

"You're pregnant?" She questions, making me laugh.

"No." I quickly state, laying back on the bed.

"Then what is it?" I sigh and place my free hand over my face while the other one grips my phone tightly.

"Calum came over last night." I say calmly.

"Let me guess, he came to tell you to take Luke back." She replies, raising her voice.

"That's what I thought, but no..It was the complete opposite."

"Oh." Was all she said before there was a small pause.

"Well, what did he say?" She asks and I roll over on the bed onto my stomach, resting my chin in the palm of my hand.

"Luke said to never talk to him again and that we're done.." I whisper softly, my voice breaking off towards the end of the sentence.

"What a fucking dick. When I see that little prick, I'm gonna beat his ass." She says, anger running through her voice.

"And also.." I pause, not sure how she's going to react at the next thing I say.

"What?"

"Calum...Kissed me." I answer, nuzzling my head down into the mattress.

"What? Really?" She says, obviously in as much shock as I was.

"Yeah.."

"I knew he had feelings for you! I always saw the way he looked at you when you and Luke were with each other!" She states, making me laugh softly.

"Yeah, okay." I mutter as I roll my eyes.

"I'm serious, you should hook up with him!" She replies, as if she read my plans for tonight.

"I'm working on it, okay? I've gotta go, I'll see you tonight."

We exchange-goodbyes and I swiftly open up my messages, sending Calum a message.

. . .

I've decided to get a ride with Calum to the party since I know I'm gonna be drinking and I can just easily call a cab home when all is said and done.

Calum and I walk into the house party hand-in-hand, everyone smiling as we enter, getting a few confused looks as well.

I let go of his hand once I see my friends bombard me with questions and hugs.

"No need to explain, Leslie told us everything." Brianna says after she's done embracing me.

"Let's go get you a drink, come on." She wraps her hand around my wrist and guides me to the kitchen, the others following close behind.

I look back to see if Calum is still there, but he's nowhere to be found?

After a few stupid party games and drinks later, I finally end up finding Calum on my way to the bathroom.

He smiles down at me and strokes my cheek with his thumb softly before giving me a light peck on my lips, then moving his mouth over to my ear.

"Let's go upstairs?" He asks and I eagerly nod my head.

He takes my hand in his, then leads us up the steps heading into one of the few bedrooms.

Once we get inside and shut the door, he turns faster than the speed of light and pushes me up against the wall, his lips greedily kissing my neck and I can't but let out a soft moan.

He lifts his head up and presses his lips to mine. I place my hands on the nape of his neck, deepening the kiss ever so slightly while I feel his hands move down to my ass.

A few moments pass and I break the kiss, panting softly as I study his face that's lit up by the moonlight.

I glance down at the floor and pull away from him, shaking my head slowly.

"Something wrong, babe?" He asks, taking a step towards me.

"I'm sorry.." I mutter, swinging open the door and darting for the front door.

As soon as I think I'm far enough from the house, I stop running and lean against one of the light poles.

I pull out my phone from my bag and call for a taxi since 1: it's too cold to walk and 2: my house is way too far.

I'm also pretty drunk, so no doubt I would get lost.

I sigh and sit on the curb of the sidewalk, burying my head in my hands as I wait for the cab.

. . .

Once I get home, I rush up to my room and slam the door.

I shouldn't have done this..I shouldn't have tried to hook up with one of Luke's best friends..

I also shouldn't have ran out of the house like a coward, I should've just told him how I felt instead of trying to use him as rebound.

I'm so stupid...

After pacing my room for a few minutes, I glance around my room for my bag.

Once I find it, I grab it and pull out my phone, quickly dialling his number as I sit at the foot of the bed.

I wonder...I wonder if he's ever thought about calling me when he's drunk..

I press the speaker up to my ear and sigh as I anxiously wait.
