Calum
"Calum what are you doing here?" Sophia asked as I pushed her bedroom door open, she was perched on the end of her bed, guitar on her lap looking adorable as usual.
"Pack your bags." I said looking around for the suitcase I had seen in here last time.
She placed her guitar on her bed and stood up, "What why? Has something happened?" Worry filled her voice.
I chuckled and cupped her face in my hands. "You're such a stress head, relax nothing has happened." I pecked her forehead and went back to looking. And I noticed the rosy colour appear on her face too. She was so cute.
"Then why do I need my bag?" She wasn't being very helpful with looking for her bag.
"Would you care for some tea?" I asked. The confused look on her face somehow grew even further and she put her hands to her hips it took a lot to not burst out laughing, man I was hilarious. She was wearing some baggy grey sweatpants that were rested on her hips and a black vest which showed off her tanned, toned stomach. Damn she looked good. "How about a scone with that? And maybe a trip to see the Queen?" I said.
She soon caught on and her face burst with life and a massive grin formed, "Oh my god are we going to London!" She squealed, practically jumping up and down.
"Yep!" I said popping the 'p'.
"Oh my gosh, how long for? When? Why?" She said running to her closet and pulling out her suitcase and throwing it on her bed.
"Three days! Tonight and for a few interviews and that sorta stuff." I explained.
"I've never been to the UK, this is amazing!"

Sophia and I decided it would be best if we didn't sit next to each other in the mini bus and on the plane. Chris was coming with us and the last thing we needed was him finding out about us on this trip. We just had to hold out for just under two weeks and then we can do what we want. He said no romance during the probation not after.
Honestly though, looking at Sophia, she's done so much for me. I never thought I'd leave this bad place I was in. I thought I'd be trapped there forever. But then she came along and brought me back. I will forever be grateful, I never want to go back to that place again. Sophia really does bring out my good side. Since being around her more, I don't even think about past events, and I want to be friends with the lads again like I was before we got big and famous.
We had just pulled up at the airport and Chris stood up to address us. "Right, I have been informed that there are fans here so you've got ten minutes to take photos and speak to them, then we need to be inside checking in. Security is already there so I'll meet you all in there." Chris explained.
I miss being a normal person as in not a celebrity, it's so much faff going to the airport. Don't get me wrong, I love the fans but it's so much effort sometimes.
I gave Sophia a quick thumbs up from the back of the bus as she climbed out with Michael. I was the last to get off. I swung my bag on my back and shoved my hands in my pocket. The fans started to scream as they saw us come round the corner.
I watched as Sophia awkwardly stood beside Michael, not really knowing what to do or say, I knew what she would be thinking. That she didn't want to intrude on our fans.
I went up to a few girls and they're eyes lit up. "Calum omg hi!" A red head said.
"Hello." I waved slightly.
"I just want to say I'm so happy you're happy again. We all are." She said gesturing the crowd.
A couldn't help but smile, wow they really picked up on how unhappy I was. "You guys like Sophia then?" I raised a brow.
"She's so cute, yes!" A brunette grinned. "Can we take some pictures with you?" She asked and I nodded. I took her phone from her and flipped the camera to us. I held it up and we took a few pictures. From the corner of my eye I noticed something I really wish I hadn't seen and anger suddenly built up inside of me. I handed the phone back to the girl and stormed towards the scene unfolding in front of me.
"Who do you even think you are! If anyone should be his girlfriend it's me!" A fan screamed at Sophia. This crazy blonde chick was practically on the other side of the barrier now as security tried to release the grip this girl had on Sophia. Michael, Luke and Ashton were trying to calm the crowd and help pull Sophia away, having no luck whatsoever.
She was pulling at her hair and screaming at her. "It's not fair! Why you!"
Sophia's face was full of terror and when she noticed me her eyes filled with worry. The girl saw me approaching as did the guards and she took this opportunity to fully climb over the barrier, knocking down Sophia in the process.
"Get off of me!" Sophia shouted, trying to force this girl off her.
I reached the scene and grabbed the girls bag that was on her back, pulling her up. Michael and Ashton quickly helped Sophia up.
"Take her inside." I said sternly.
The girl turned around and a smile lit up her face. She threw her arms around my stomach. "I knew you'd choose me over that bitch! I love you so much Calum!" This girl was seriously not well. She must be ill to act like this. I wanted to scream in her face and shout at her, telling her to get the fuck away from me and tell her off for doing what she did. But I had to remember the situation I was in.
"Girl you gotta get off of me." I said in a monotone voice. She quickly stepped back and smiled sheepishly at me. "This was not okay. You cannot physically assault someone like that and think it's okay. No one can." I said speaking not only to her but the fans as well. They were all speechless. I know most people wouldn't but every now and then you do run into the odd crazy ones like today.
"Do not let me catch anyone ever doing anything like this again!" I said sternly. I picked up Sophia's jacket that was on the floor and stormed into the airport.
I rounded the corner to see the boys were sat with Sophia on a bench. Chris had decided to make an appearance. Perfect timing. She was balling her eyes out and shaking.
"Oh my god I can't believe that just happened." She said, her hands pulling at her hair.
I approached them and they noticed my arrival. I properly had a face like a slapped arse, my face was red hot and I could feel my fingernails digging into my skin from clenching my fists. I was so ready to punch a wall right now.
"Bro, you good"? Luke asked, standing up.
"Doesn't matter about me." I said through gritted teeth. It hurt to see Sophia crying like this, that fan was out of line.
I sat down next to Sophia and put my arm over her shoulder, she wasn't crying as much now but she was still hiccuping and sniffing.
"I should have known this was a bad idea, we should have brought you round the back." Chris spoke, more to himself. But man he's gonna wish he had kept it to himself.
"You mean to tell me, you could have brought us round the back." I snapped.
I took my arm from Sophia. "Calum don't." She spoke quietly. Her hand resting on my knee.
"Well...yes but I thought we'd manage." He said.
I stood up and strode towards him but the lads held me back. "How fucking dare you put Sophia's safety on the line like that! How fucking dare you!" I wanted to punch him so bad but the boys were not letting me go anywhere.
"Calum calm down!" Ashton said into my ear but I shrugged him off.
"No this is despicable, in what world is any of this okay? Sophia has never experienced anything like this before and you really thought throwing us out as a couple in public for the first time things would go okay. Are you mental?" I snapped, my voice getting louder each word.
Chris was getting angry too, but I know he would never act. "Calum, that's enough." He said sternly.
"This is stupid, putting someone I care about, who I love out there putting them in a vulnerable position is ridiculous!" I screamed.
Then everyone froze. Chris' face became hard to read, a poker face. "Dude." Michael muttered. Everyone's faces looked the same. I glanced back at Sophia and she turned away, looking down at her feet.
Oh shit.
"I think it best we cancel our trip, it looks like we have things to discuss. My office tomorrow morning nine sharp." He said blankly and began leaving the building.
"Fuck!" I shouted and this time, I did punch the wall. How could I have been so stupid.

Happy new year everyone!
Question: Would anyone be interested in a prequel (after I've written the sequel) of Calum's life before Sophia, so when he was with Sophie and they were only just starting to get famous? It wouldn't have a happy ending obviously because you know what happens to Sophie, but it would be quite interesting to write. Let me know x
So drama drama drama! Wanted to do something exciting and dramatic for a change and also this is an all calum pov woo.
Also, only 5 more parts to go!
