Don't Forget Me Cal

Part Two, Chapter Three; "And they kissed."

C A L L I E   POV

The show started an hour ago and in a couple of minutes William and I would have to perform. 

Only one wall kept us from performing and that was William. He wasn't here yet. Everyone backstage was frantic if he'd come or not. They were worried he was in some sort of trouble. 

I wasn't worried.

I was mad.

If he doesn't come then I'd have to go on stage and tell the audience that there will be no last performance because a certain someone couldn't make it. That would be embarrassing.

C A L U M   POV

I was in the 7th row, in one of the seats in the middle. Waiting. Waiting for the last performance. Waiting for Callie. Waiting. 

I looked around the theatre, turning me head to the left, observing a pale, dark brown haired and it seemed green eyed, guy running back stage. He seemed to be dressed to perform. Maybe there's another peformance after Callie's, I thought. 

Finally, after the lights dimmed again for the next performance, Callie's, my heart was beating fast. Then, slowly the music came on and there she was. 

There.

She.

Was. 

The sight of her took my breath away. She was wearing a thin white ballet skirt and a white tank top, simple. Her hair was in a bun, typical. But, somehow, her outfit didn't seem simple, she didn't seem typical. And she wasn't. I finally noticed her partner was the pale, dark brown haired, guy that was running to the backstage. I finally noticed near the end of the performance. 

And at the end of the performance I noticed Callie lost all her feelings towards me.

He kissed her.

On stage.

Once he set her down gently. 

He kissed her.

And she kissed back.

And the crowd stood up to applaud.

But, not me.

And everyone cheered.

And everyone threw roses.

And they were kissing.

And everyone smiled.

And everyone was happy.

And they kissed.

And my heart was shattering. 

C A L L I E   POV

After the performance I was about to leave the stage. But, William kissed me.

I forgot that the kiss was apart of the performance for a second. So I just pretended to act like the kiss was real to end it quicker. 

Then, it hit me.

Calum was here. What would he think?, I asked myself.

But, I told myself he was engaged anyways.

He told me the night before he came to England, so why would he care.

He moved on and I needed to.

Calum was probably happy that it seems I moved on.

He won't care, he's just me friend.

Just.

Friends.

C A L U M   POV

Instead of waiting to congratulate Callie I went outside and sat on a bench. She invited me to a show where she'd be kissing another guy. For what? To show me how much she doesn't miss me, probably.

Did she even think about me? At all?

Does she even miss me?

What was wrong with me?

C A L L I E    POV

When I went backstage I looked for Calum. "Callie!" my mother called out for me. I forgot she came. 

"Mom! Hey!" I said hugging her. 

"Hey, sweets, I have to go for now, there's an emergency. I'll go by your apartment at like 9 p.m. to take you out for a dinner." my mom said quickly. She gave me a hug and left.

William came up behind me. "Hey," he said, "so... You did good."           I stared at him for a while and said, "Yeah. Thanks. You danced good too. I have to go find my.... Friend. Bye." William raised an eyebrow and then left to go talk to a group of girls. I watched as they all got red when he smirked. It was horrid. After staring at the group and William for a while I decided to go search for Calum.

C A L U M    POV

Callie came outside after 25 minutes. "Hey!" she said smiling. Her light grey eyes bright. Just like the stars. "Hey.." I said.        She sat down next to me. My heart sped. She looked at me. My heart sped some more. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"You moved on." I replied.

"I didn't. You did." Callie said.

"No. You moved on and you left me behind." I said back. Callie tried to grab my hand and I pulled back. Her brow furrowed.  

   "I never moved on. Your the one getting married. I'm at the same place I've always been and your miles away." Callie said softly.

She got up and left.

And I didn't follow her.
