Calum's POV
"You need to tell her we're leaving in a week" Luke sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. He was just as frustrated as I was. I wasn't going to leave Alesia. Not now.
"I can't just go around dating my best friend then leave her after a week!" I exclaimed, receiving looks from the three boys in front of me. Michael shrugged and took a sit near his guitar then stared back at me, "you need to explain to her"
"Look, I know this is our dream and its finally turning into reality but can't we stay for a little bit longer than a fucking week? A fucking week, man. One fucking week, 7 fucking da-"
"Jesus, Calum" Luke exhaled, "you need to calm the fuck down and listen to us. She'd understand that we have to leave, she's not some stupid bitch who'd keep you from your dreams"
"I'll talk to him" Ashton dismissed the other guys and sent them home. We went into the living room and he patted a seat beside him. I slouched down, not really wanting to pay attention to whatever he's going to say.
"You have to tell her" he said, he's always been the father in this band. He can also be a mother. But most of the times he's our big brother. I groaned due to the fact that they've been repeating the statement for only God knows how long, "I know it sucks, we've been telling you this. Cal, she'll understand you."
"What if she doesn't? What if I do something stupid?" I was worrying as well on what might happen when I'm away from her.
"You do love her, right?" I nodded in response. I don't see what his point is actually, "then you wouldn't do anything stupid, you two can handle the so called 'long distance relationship' and when we come back, you two will be good as new"
"You think so?"
"Give it a chance, buddy" He patted my shoulder and I nodded at him. I headed for the door to leave when he called out again, "Good luck!"

I felt myself tensing up. Its been 15 minutes since she replied and I'm afraid she won't come. Or she'll be upset. Maybe I should go? God, I'm scared. I stood up from my spot on the ground and started jumping around in attempt to calm myself down.
"Come on, Calum" I slapped my cheek, leaving it with a burning sensation, "fuck, not like that"
"Stop talking to yourself" A voice said from behind me, I'm sure it was Alesia. I turned around to look and as I expected it was her, "Sup?"
"Sit" I told her. She did as I said. I walked around in circles while I trying pull myself together. When I was sure I could talk I faced her and started walking again. Damn Calum, "so i just wanted to tell you that i love you so much and I really don't want to ruin anything between us and i hope this relationship works out even though i'm like far far away from you and we'd suffer from stupid timezones but i want you to know that i'll try my best to not do anything stupid and break this thing up and i really really love you and i really hope that you understand that i'm such an idiot and can't pull myself together and i hope you're not mad because I'm leaving in a week", by the time I finished my speech I was breathless. I inhaled and took a glance over at her. She had a smile plastered on her face. How could she smile? I mean that's a good thing but why, how?
"Calum, I love you so much" she said. I furrowed my eyebrows and watched her as she dusted off her jeans and made her way to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck like she always does and stood on her tiptoes to give a quick peck on my lips. She pulled away but kept our forehead against each other.
"I'm going to miss you but I don't want you to be upset about that. Look, I'm really really really happy for you. I don't want you to think I'm holding you back from what makes you happy. I don't manipulate you, Cal. Its your life. Live it, do whatever you want. Nobody's stopping you from doing what you love, have fun, okay?"
Whatever I want?
I felt my lips curve into a smirk whilst she gave me a look, "except for sex and going out with other girls who, apparently aren't your girlfriend" she slapped my face playfully. I wrapped my arms around her waist giving her a small smile before pecking her small, plump lips. We've never actually kissed, like kiss kiss, we've always just do quick pecks and all. I'm afraid I might not be able to breathe if we ever kissed. Just a peck from her gives me butterflies, fireworks and burns up my cheeks.
"Yes, ma'am"
