Chapter 28

Calum's POV

After she closed my car door walking towards the college, I went to park my car because I didn't know where else to go. Shutting off my engine I took out my phone to call Michael to see what he was doing today.

I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. After a couple of rings it went straight to voicemail. Of course. I tried calling again but he didn't pick up at all. I dialed Luke's number after and waited for him to pick up as well. After a couple of rings Luke picked up.

"Hello."

"Luke, it's Calum."

"Yeah what's up?"

I forgot why I was calling. I was probably bored and didn't know what to do.

"Are you doing anything today?"

The line went silent for a couple of seconds before I heard Luke's voice appear again.

"Uhh. I don't know. Where are you right now?"

"I'm in the parking lot of the College Misty goes to."

"Oh is everything okay between you two?"

I leaned back on my chair wondering if we were okay. I mean she let me drive her to school today.

"I'm not sure. I drove her to school today though."

"Oh. I think you just need to keep trying. Well I gotta go Cal. I'll see you later for dinner alright?"

"Yeah. See yah."

I ended the call and slipped my phone back into my pocket. I decided to just wait until Misty got out to take her to lunch or something.

I mean I know she told me not to pick her up but I didn't have a lot of time to spend with her anyways. So I guess yolo.

I checked the time. 11:05. One more hour until he's out of that public speaking class. I should take a nap since I didn't get much sleep last night staring at her in her sleep. Wow that sounded absolutely creepy. But it is what it is.

• • •

I set myself an alarm to wake up at 12:00 to go find Misty. My phone rang and woke me up from a great nap actually. I opened my car door and zipped up my jacket. Locking my door, I walked to the main gate to wait for her. Luckily there was a bench for me to sit. I went on twitter just to check up on stuff and reply to fans.

"Calum?"

I heard a voice that wasn't Misty's. I looked up from my phone and saw the kid that Misty was close friends with. Seth I think.

"Uh Seth right?"

"Yeah. Are you waiting for Misty?"

I nodded and slipped my phone in my pocket and stood up.

"She's mad at me right now."

"And so I've heard."

I cocked an eye brow at him.

"How?"

"Misty tells me everything."

I leaned against the gate just trying to make conversation while waiting for Misty to come.

"So I heard your going on tour in 5 days? How does she feel about this?"

Seth crossed his arms asking in a protective tone.

"She might or might not be okay with it. I haven't talk to her about this a lot since she doesn't want to talk about it."

"So I'm guessing she's stressed and scared."

Scared. Was she scared? It was like a rewind of our high school years being replayed for us but in the future. I remember every word she told me that night. She told me she was scared of losing me. Scared that I would forget about her. And guess what happened? I forgot and I lost her.

"Calum?"

Seth said breaking me from my thoughts. I blinked a couple of times and looked at him.

"Hm?"

"She's coming."

I turned around and sure enough she was coming. When she saw me she stopped like she didn't want to get any closer to me. She was walking with some guy too. I looked at the guy who was walking with her. He looked familiar. Almost too familiar.

Wait.

Is that Joseph?

Well shit.

I started walking up to them hoping he wouldn't recognize me. I saw that her gaze was hard on me watching my every move. I stopped in front of them giving them space.

"Calum."

Joseph said through his gritted teeth. my palms got sweaty in my pocket.

"Joseph."

I said in the same tone that he gave me. He took a step towards me his fist right by his side.

"You little.."

He started to say. I knew what he was going to do already. His fist collided with my jaw making me stumble back. He walked up to me as I held my jaw.

"Joseph!"

I heard Misty scream behind him. Joseph came up to me and kneed my stomach making my insides hurt like hell. I got up and punched at the side of his head making him fall back.

"Stop!"

I heard Misty run up to us. Seth ran up to us as well pulling me up. She took Joseph's arm and pulled him up separating us like 2 dogs. My lip and jaw were probably busted. I felt a sting as I wiped my mouth. I saw that I left a nice mark in Joseph's head as well. I guess we're both even then.

Seth let go of my arms as Misty let go of Josephs.

"Calum what are you doing here?"

Misty said crossing her arms. It bothered me that she was on Joseph's side.

"To see you."

I shrugged at her and looked at Joseph's bleeding head.

"How do you guys know each other?"

I looked at Joseph and he stared right back at me with the same expression.

"I think Calum should tell you. I mean I barely know you."

Fucking Joseph.

I looked back at Misty speechless. She gave me a confused expression. Well there goes another one of my secrets. I wasn't going to tell her. It was one of those secrets that was irrelevant to our relationship and her.

"Well if you aren't talking I'm going."

She started walking towards Seth. She passed me without giving me eye contact.

"C'mon."

She took Seth's arm and dragged him off campus leaving Joseph and I behind.

"So I guess you came back for more Hood?"

Joseph started speaking making me face him. He wiped off the blood from the side of his head.

"I was drunk-"

"Save it Hood."

He took a step towards me.

"My sister. She took care of the baby by herself. She worked her ass of. By herself. What did you do?"

He took another step towards me.

"You did nothing!"

He yelled in my face. Wait what baby?

"What fucking baby? We didn't have a baby!"

I yelled at him back. We couldn't have had a baby.

"You got her pregnant You little shit!"

"I did not! Mandy didn't want me. You've got the wrong guy Joseph."

I was so confused. Mandy, my 1 year girlfriend from on tour, was pregnant? I broke up with her because she cheated and fucked another guy while she was still with me.

"She told me that you were the father."

I walked up to him and grabbed his shirt.

"You listen here. We didn't fuck alright? She cheated on me. How bout you ask her who she fucked after me so you better back the fuck up."

I pushed him off and turned around to walk back to my car to leave. What a nice day it is today. Now Misty probably thinks that I did something bad before but really I didn't.
