It's complicated

Chapter 19

-Grace's POV-

It's a week and a half until the tour starts. For the past month and a half I've had no social life. As soon as I wake up, I eat and Ashton and I head to the studio. We spend basically all day there and when I get home, I'm so tired I don't do anything. I usually end up laying on the couch with Calum until the constant feeling of him stroking my hair puts me to sleep. He always carries me to my room before he goes to bed, but we haven't had any time together and it's really getting to both of us.

There has been no progress in trying to find out who broke into our house and why they did it. The police said that there were no leads to go off of considering nothing was stolen that could be tracked down. All of us have really given up on any hope that they will be caught.

"Can we please spend the day together?" Calum asks as I play some rhythms Ashton taught me on my leg.

"Babe, I only have a couple more days to prepare for the tour." I say, not looking up.

He puts his hands on my drumsticks, causing me to look up at him, "Grace, you've been practicing with us and you've been doing fine. You can't get any more prepared ."

"I know," I sigh, "It's just that, what if I get stage fright? And I can't play? Or I mess up? Your fans will hate me."

"No they won't, I promise. All of them understand the circumstances, but you're not going to that studio today. I'm taking you out."

"Calum, we can't be out together." Yep, our 8th month anniversary is in a couple of weeks and still no one has found out.

"Yes we can. I've been thinking and why should we care if people know? Yeah sure, I get the whole hate factor thing, but we both get hate now so what is a little bit more going to do."

A huge smiles spreads on my face. I've been wanting to let the public know for a long time, I was always too scared to ask though, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, today marks the end of Gralum's secret relationship. We are going public."

"Okay, so where are you going to take me for our first public date?" I ask, completely forgetting about going to the studio.

"Well, how about we just go to the mall? Nothing too special, but everyone will see us there and it will definitely get out." He says and I agree. I was hoping for something a little more romantic, but that works too, I guess.

-Calum's POV-

With Grace practicing and having no time for me, I've had a lot of time to think. I really want to go public, but I'm afraid she won't want to, but I knew when I saw that smile on her beautiful face, she wanted it too.

I actually have something planned, but I wanted to make it a surprise. Grace runs upstairs to get ready and so do I. I grab some black, ripped skinny jeans and a Cobain shirt.

We leave the house around 12 and I tell Grace we will get something to eat at the mall. We walk into the mall, holding hands. I notice that some people are looking at us with wide eyes. It's finally happening. Everyone is going to know the girl that is supposedly just like my sister is really the love of my life.

Kinda short and suckish😩 I really want to make this good, but I'm such a bad writer. Especially when it comes to drama so I'm trying to come up with all of these ideas and I've thought of so many, but I always end up saying no😂
