She Looks So Perfect // 5SOS (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 4 - Comforting Claudia

A/N: 

Here's another chapter with a picture of Calum and Luke. Idk if it fits the chapter but yea...

...

Claudia's POV 

"Hey... How are you?" I asked my boyfriend.

        Yes, I do have a boyfriend. He's just too busy to see me sometimes, with all the work he has. I usually text him almost everyday, which probably makes me look desperate. I am currently in Ashley's house with all the other girls, by the way.

"Great! Business has been booming lately, and sales are skyrocketing in every place we supply for." He said as he talked on and on about his business' success.

"Really? That's good, I guess. Hey, when are you com-" I was cut off by what sounds like a girl.

"James! Someone wants to talk to you!" The voice said.

"Hold on just a sec! Sorry, looks like my secretary's calling. See you later." He said.

"Okay... I lo-" before I could finish my sentence, he had already hung up.

"Ugh. Nevermind..." I said to no one in particular.

"Were you talking with James?" A voice asked.

I immediately knew who it was, for there was only one person who cared for me the most; Ashley. Don't get me wrong, the other girls care about me too, its just that Ashley has always been the one who comforts me the most. I love Christie, Ash, and Han like sisters. They mean so much to me.

"Yeah, I was." I said as I sighed.

"Sometimes I feel like a third wheel around him. Whenever I call him, his secretary would call him because James is going to have a meeting or that his food is getting cold or other stuff like that. I feel so useless. Does he not love me any more?" I asked, feeling like I was at the verge of tears.

"Claudia! Do not ever say that again! You are one of the most beautiful and talented girls I have ever met, and the other girls are Christina and Hannah. Don't let him get the best of you." Ashley reassured me.

I tried smiling, but was unable to because of the tears that were spilling.

"I just... I don't know anymore, Ash. I feel like I should break up with him, but I just can't!" I said as the tears came out.

"Ssh... It's okay. You can cry your heart out. I will be here for you." She said, calming me down almost instantly.

"I don't know where I'll be right now if it weren't for my friends' and families' support. I love you guys." I said as I kept crying.

"We know, we know. You should get some rest. You can sleep on the bed in the guest room. The bed's pretty comfy." She said as she guided me upstairs into the guest room.

I really love these girls to death. Once we reached the guest room, I plopped down onto the bed and soon fell into a deep slumber.

Time skip to idk maybe 5 hours

"...udia! Wake up!" A voice shouted.

"Hmm?" I stirred as I fluttered my eyes open.

"Ashley?" I said as I rubbed my eyes gently.

"No, you dummy. Its Calum." He said as he chuckled.

"Oh, hey Ca- wait? Calum?!" I said in shock.

"Yeah. Ashley called the boys and I over. She told me you were having a hard time, but wouldn't tell why. Can you please tell me?" He said, slightly pouting his lips out.

I chuckled, and took a deep breath.

"Well, you see... I have a boyfriend. We started dating when I was 16 and he was 17, so it started about 2 years ago. His name is James Altecs, he turned 19 about a month ago. Him and I haven't been talking or seeing each other in person because he runs a big company, and he's been very busy lately. I text him almost everyday, and almost always never get a reply. I feel as if he doesn't care for me or even love me at all anymore. I probably sound like a greedy person, right?" I said as I chuckled nervously.

"Look at me, Claudia." He said as I did what I was told.

I looked to my right, as I made eye contact with him.

"You are far from useless. You're beautiful; I've realized that since the first time I had laid my eyes on you. Please don't let yourself down. It makes your friends sad. It makes me sad." He said as he looked at me straight in the eyes.

"T-Thank you, Calum..." I said, blushing.

I kissed his right cheek, as a friendly gesture, but it seems to have triggered the red bomb. Yes, Calum Thomas Hood was indeed blushing.

"See you downstairs!" I said as I smiled.

I was finally my usual self again, thanks to my hero and idol,

CALUM THOMAS HOOD.

Luke's POV

We were all in the middle of laughing our asses off, because of a very very corny joke which Michael had said. We kept on laughing, that is until Claudia showed up.  Ashley waved at her, motioning for her to come here. She did exactly that, and soon a very happy looking Calum showed up.

"What did you do to him, Clau? Did you feed him some kind of alien food or something?" Michael joked, and soon everyone was in a laughing fit.

"Yeah, what did she do to you, mate?" Ashton asked, flashing his infamous smile that showed his dimples.

"I-Its nothing! R-Right, Cal?" Clau said, stuttering.

"Y-Yeah..." Calum said.

"By the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be nothing. You can tell us, come on." Christina said.

"It's nothing, really." Clau said, avoiding the previous question.

"Fine then. Why don't we play two truths and a lie?" I suggested.

"I'm in." Michael said, and soon everyone joined.
