It's complicated

Chapter 11

-Grace's POV-

I woke up in my own bed, really confused. The last thing I remembered was being in the car. S***. I fell asleep on Calum. Did he carry me in here? It's going to be really hard to explain why I fell asleep on Calum, instead of my brother, who was right next to me.

I get up, shower, blow dry my hair, get dressed, brush my teeth, and throw my hair into a messy bun. I grab my phone and a 5sos hoodie and go downstairs. When I get down there, all the boys are standing at the kitchen counter. Luke's back was to me and they were all talking, until they saw me.

When Luke notices the boys sudden quietness - something that never happens - he turns around.

"Grace Nichole Hemmings."

"Why the sudden use of my middle name?" I say. I haven't done anything wrong, so he shouldn't be angry with me.

"We need to talk. Now." He says and grabs my wrist. He pulls me into the den and shuts the door.

"Ow," I say and pull my wrist from his grip. "What's up your butt?"

"Don't play with me right now." He says. Okay, he's really worked up about something. I don't think I've ever seen him this angry with me. He always treats me as if I'm his precious, little daughter that has never done anything wrong.

"Okay, but can you tell me what I did?"

"What you did? What you did?" He says, incredulous. "Maybe, you dated my best friend behind my back."

I feel my cheeks heat up and my eyes go wide. "What are you talking about?" I ask, trying to act innocent.

"Don't even try. Michael slipped up, so Calum admitted you guys were dating. Emphasis on the were because you will not continue to."

Okay, now he's not the only who's upset. "No, no emphasis on were because your not my dad, Luke. Even if you were, you don't get to control who I do or do not date. And, I want to date Calum, so I'm gonna date Calum." I say and cross my arms.

"I may not be your dad, but our parents agreed I was in charge of you. I convinced them to let you come with me and they put me in charge. Without me, you wouldn't be here right now. And, if you don't listen to me, I can send you straight back to mum and dad because I'm sure they'd be happy to have there baby back home."

My eyes start to fill with tears just at the thought of going back home. "You wouldn't do it, Luke, and you know you wouldn't." I say, but then I look into his eyes and know he is dead serious. At that moment, I don't know which would be worse - going back home and never seeing Calum, or breaking up with him.

"Luke, you can't do this. I think I'm in love with Calum" I plead and the tears start streaming down.
