Pretending (A Calum Hood Fan Fiction)

Chapter 54: Her

I remained staring blankly at the ceiling as I lay lazily on my bed, raking my fingers through my hair. I decided to skate around the moment I left Calum's house before heading back home. I wanted to free my head away from random and weird thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about that girl. I know I shouldn't be really bothered, but I just couldn't seem to stop thinking things, which could be bad too. But no, I trust Calum. She could be just a random visitor, or a friend, or maybe a relative. I sighed at my thoughts, feeling a bit relieved. I have got to stop being negative about everything. I'm probably just the only one who's thinking it, that it gets me bothered big time. I closed my eyes and shook my head, a smile curled up from my mouth. I need to stop thinking.

I turned to my right and reached for my phone on the bed side table. No text, no call. Nothing from him. I sighed. He's probably just busy a while ago. I went to my contacts and decided to do some changes. I smiled as I remembered my name on his phone. It's just a simple thing but yeah, little things make me mushy. I clicked on Calum's name and edited it. I had the thought of him smiling if he sees his name too.

I decided to text him but I ended up on calling him. I told him before I left that I would call him, so maybe he must be waiting for me now. I sat up as it started ringing. I played with the hem of my shirt as I wait. It lasted for about half a minute, but no one's still answering. I tried once again, but I got nothing. I rested my back on my bed and sighed. He's just busy, maybe. I reminded myself.

To: My Calum <3

Message: Hey :) i tried to call you but you weren't answering. I hope you're doing good. Call me when you get the chance! I love you so much, Cal! Goodnight rockstar :) x

I chucked my phone somewhere under my pillow, not even having the thought of waiting for his reply. He's probably just busy, I keep reminding myself. I know, for sure, I would wake up to his text messages, or maybe his calls, or maybe I would wake up to him kissing me softly. I couldn't count the times how he silently climbed up my window every morning and me waking up to him sleeping beside me, all cuddled up in my tiny body. I hugged my pillow and smiled at my own thoughts. I closed my eyes as images of Calum started appearing inside my head. I took a deep breath and smiled again. I fell asleep.

8:47 AM

I fell from my bed. I grunted as loud as I ever could as I writhe in pain. My elbow and my butt hit the floor, hard. After a minute, I found myself laughing, at myself. Usually I would shout at nothing, or probably I would come and try to pick a fight with the floor who happens to be a non-living material, but I just laughed it off as I groan in pain. It's really weird. This wasn't like me before. But seriously, it was funny.

I hurriedly went back to my bed and started searching for my phone on my sheets. I rested my back and let out a giggle when I turned to check my phone and saw a text message from Calum.

From: My Calum <3

Message: Sorry I wasn't able to answer your call last night. Was kinda busy about some stuff.

The smile on my face slowly turned into a frown, but I went back smiling again. Just like what I wanted, I need to stop thinking. He sounded so weird and cold on his text, but I ignored it. He maybe just woke up with a bad mood, or something came up that made him so odd like this.

To: My Calum <3

Message: Good morning to you too lol :) it's okay! I hope you're doing fine! See you later yeah? I'll come over! :) x

I chucked my phone somewhere on my bed again and rushed inside the bathroom after turning up my speakers loud. I put some Man Overboard on blast as I sing along and dance inside the shower. After my mini concert inside the bathroom, I rummaged for a perfect outfit on my dresser. I really don't know what Calum might be up to, so I ended up wearing one of my jeans that I've ripped and turned into shorts and my black Nirvana shirt. I applied my usual light make up and let my hair down, clipping it on the side. I started making weird poses in front of the mirror and laughed at my own reflection. I really worry about my weirdness sometimes. I paired my outfit with my not-so-worn-out black hight cut chucks that I love so much no matter how rugged it looked. I took one last look on my mirror and smiled. This is another day of vacation that I should make worth remembering. I took my bag and my phone on the bed, and headed outside.
