Austin Mahone saved me...

Happy Birthday

Callin's P.O.V

"Happy birthday!" I bolted awake.

Alex and Luce stood at my bedside; now they finally wanted to be with me. I was seventeen. I didn't feel any different, apart from an agonising headache and sore eyes.

"God, it reeks in here." Luce gagged.

It was probably a mixture of alcohol and cigarettes. That's how I had spent my lonely nights recently. No one actually cared about me, just turned up when they needed too. They were occupied with their stupid little relationships and left me alone. It may seem like I was jealous but I wasn't, I just thought that my friends and my own cousin would still make time for me. But I was clearly wrong.

"Come on downstairs, you have some presents and we made you breakfast." Alex said proudly.

When I got out of bed, Luce eyed me with a strange expression on her face. Alex had gone downstairs to sort everything out.

"What are you looking at?" I snapped.

"Callin, your clothes are on inside out and your eyes are bloodshot. What have you been up to?" Luce frowned.

I had gone out again last night and the same thing had happened again. I had passed out and woke up naked, alone in a bed with a note left on the pillow. It had to the be the same person. It made me feel physically sick knowing that someone had been doing things to me while I was knocked out.

"It's nothing, I just went out..." I lied.

Of course I wanted to tell someone, but nobody cared and it was my own fault for going out every night and getting too drunk. Everyone else were obviously so busy with their own lives.

"You have been going out a lot, and those freaks you go around with at school aren't helping..." she hissed.

"Well, you are too busy having sex in the boys bathroom with Zach. You don't even realise that he doesn't care about you and that you're just another one of his sluts!" The words came out before I could stop them.

Luce shook her head. "You are lucky it's your birthday, or I would have slapped you, you little bitch."

I could tell she was upset by what I had said but she tried not to show it. If only she knew how I felt... We both made our way downstairs in silence. Alex had set up breakfast for us with a few presents wrapped up in the middle.

"They are just small bits. The boys will give you their presents later." Alex said, handing me the first present.

Unwrapping the paper, I found a new pair of black converse. I sat on myself on Alex's lap and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. My old pair were far too small and were scuffed up. Luce handed me her present. A pair of black ripped skinny jeans, with a small sparkly crop top.

"Just a little something to wear tonight." Luce winked.

I thanked her and brought out my phone. A text message appeared on my phone screen. It was from an unknown number. I was dreading to check the message. Tapping it slowly, the familiar words of 'until next time' appeared onto my screen. The creep had managed to get my number now.

"Cal, are you okay?" Alex's voice made me alert again.

"Yes, of course, I have to go. I will see you both at school..." I stammered.

Standing up, I quickly grabbed my bag, bolting out of the room and ignoring their pleading calls for me to come back. When I got to the hallway I finally realised I was wearing the slutty dress from last night.

"Fuck sake!" I cursed.

I raced upstairs, stripping myself from the dress in disgust and changing into a pair of skinny jeans and a sweatshirt. Grabbing my school bag, I left the house and began running to school, wanting to be alone. By the time I made it to school I was panting, slumping against the wall. My breathing was out of control. I just wanted to break down and cry. I was so lost and confused.
