-Grace-

I sat down at the seat by the window on the train. I saw Ashton leaving the station after giving me a hug and a quick wave. It would take me 5 hours to go home, and I was by myself, which didn't make it any better. As soon as the train started moving I pulled up my phone from my bag. I've had it off this whole trip, and I enjoyed my time without it. I hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the on/off button. The screen lighted up my whole face. I've got some messages from Liv and from some random guys on Facebook. Missed calls from mom, Ashton and an unknown number. I checked all my social media accounts and put in my headphones and let the music entertain my trip back home. As soon as I locked it, it started vibration in my hand and the screen lighted up. I checked the display and saw a message from the same number that I have a missed call from.

From: Unknown: 'It's not the same here without you :('

To: Unknown: 'Who is this?' I almost knew who it was but I had to ask to be sure. A reply came faster than I thought anyone could text.

From: Unknown: 'Oh sorry, it's Calum :)'

To: Calum Hood: 'Hi Calum :)'

From: Calum hood: 'Hi Grace :) How's your train ride?'

To: Calum Hood: 'Boring and lonely. There's a family sitting in the same wagon as me and the baby never shuts up.'

From: Calum Hood: 'Haha, that must suck.' I chuckled at his text and thought about what to even reply to that. I wanted to keep the conversation going actually. Before I could write anything I got another text.

From: Calum Hood: 'Did you see my newest Instagram post? :)'

To: Calum Hood: 'No? :P' After I sent it I closed the messenger app and clicked on Instagram. I searched on his name and saw that I didn't even follow him, so clicked on follow and looked at his newest update. It was a selfie of him from the beach, he had a sunhat on his head and was laying in the sand.

To: Calum Hood: 'You mean the beachselfie haha?'

From: Calum Hood: 'Oops, sorry. I meant the one before of course :)'

I opened the app again and scrolled past his selfie and saw a picture of him and me. It was black and white and I was holding a drink in my hand. I actually remembered when this photo was taken, it was Michael who took it when we sat by the table on the club the night before. I was looking right into the camera while Calum was looking at me with a big smile on his face. I didn't notice it when Michael took the picture that he was looking at me instead of the camera. I double tapped on the picture and a heart appeared over our faces.

To: Calum Hood: 'Cute, it would have been even cuter if you actually looked into the camera :)'

From: Calum Hood: 'I like looking at you more'

From: Calum Hood: 'Wow, that sounded so creepy, sorry.'

To: Calum Hood: 'Haha, you're sweet :)'

From: Calum Hood: 'Can I call you tonight?'

To: Calum Hood: 'Aren't you guys going out?'

From: Calum Hood: 'Yeah, but I want to talk to you.'

To: Calum Hood: 'Talk to you later then :)'

From: Calum Hood: ':D'

I locked the screen and put it on my lap, the music was bursting through my ears as I looked out through the train window. We just past a big field with cows. I decided to get some sleep. Before I closed my eyes I sent away a text to my friends Candice from school and asked her if she wanted to come over to my place later. I felt how my eyelids became heavier and I fell asleep.
