Where The Lines Overlap [CTH]

[4] Unknown number

Fucking stalker.

Fucking stalker.

I know you know you I am.

So stop pretending.

That's why you'll never tell.

What'll it take to keep your pretty mouth shut? Hm?

"Alex, wake up!! Wake up!!"

I slowly blinked my eyes open only to be penetrated by the rays of the morning light through the blinds of my bedroom window and see my sister, Lily, standing above me, jumping up and down my bed like it was Christmas day. Turning to my side table, I caught a glimpse of my clock which flashed the time in blue.

7:35 AM

"ALEXIA, ALEXIA, ALEXIA, OH ALEX!!!!!" she shouted.

"Nhnhnhh, what...what the hell...Lily. Leave me alone." I groaned, throwing one of my pillows at her face, before rolling over to lay on my stomach. I pressed my face against my pillow to drown out Lily's voice. She bore so much energy so early in the day but if she only knew what I went through last night for her and her friends.

Oh if only she knew.

Last night's series of events drained the life of every part of my being and after doing my duty of driving everyone safely back to their respective homes, and since we got back in the early hours of the morning, I barely got any sleep. At least it's the weekend.

"WAKE UP! Calum Hood followed Neela, Kelsey and I on Twitter a few hours ago!!" Lily shrieked in excited laughter, waving her phone in the air as she sat before me. Suddenly, I wasn't so tired any more. I quickly sat upright and leaned against my headboard, snatching her phone away to see for myself. The screen on her phone showcased the Twitter notifications page which displayed:

*Calum Hood followed you*

"What? How did that happen?!" I asked astonished. Lily shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know! None of us spammed him to follow us back on Twitter or indirectly tweeted him recently. Neela says he's the hardest member to get a follow from!" Her mouth broke into a wide smile now. "Anyway, I'm not complaining! THANK YOU TWITTER GODS!" She exclaimed spreading her arms to her sides. Then she plopped on her back on my bed, as if she was on a pile of clouds.

The image of Calum Hood standing in that same alley hours ago, flashed continuously in my mind. I shook the thoughts away as I passed her phone back.

Well at least he followed them back.

Even if it was him.

Lily then rose from her position with that foolish grin still slapped on her face. She bolted out the room like the speed of light and rushed down the stairs to the kitchen, where everyone in our neighbourhood and I could hear her boisterously and giddily retell my parents what she had just told me. Unable to return to the same level of comfort on my bed and make up for my poor slumber, I forced myself to stand up and walk towards the pile of dirty clothes I wore last night. I fished for my phone from my pocket and turned it on, to see several notifications on my screen.

Someone reblogged my posts on Tumblr.

I then went through my unread text messages.
