Autumn's point of view

When I woke up, I was on a weird feeling pillow. I groaned and then turned again, cuddling up into the blanket wrapped around me.

My head was killing me and I didn't like it. I couldn't stand it. It was making me tear up and I know for sure this wasn't just from the alcohol last night.

"Autumn? Are you awake?" Someone said in a deep morning voice. I hummed and winced as I moved my head. "Does your head hurt?"

"Mhm."

I opened my eyes and then noticed that my 'weird pillow' was Calum's lap and that I was in his bed. "What happened?" I asked him as I rubbed my eyes.

"I'll explain in a bit. Right now, you probably need a cup of coffee and a shit ton of pain killers." I agreed and he lifted my head off of his lap.

He picked me up and then I looked at him. "What was I doing in your bed?" I questioned quietly as we passed the doors. He chuckled and then set me down on the counter.

"Nothing happened if that's what you're thinking." He said and handed me some pills, along with a glass of water. I thanked him and then took them as he took his own. "You didn't want to cheat on Taylor so you pushed me away while we were dancing."

"Oh." I said and looked down. "Did you change me?" I asked as I noticed I was in a flannel that was too big on me and a pair of boxers.

"I had too." He told me and I nodded. "I just put you in my clothes because um... someone was in your room." He said and I nodded.

"Who?"

"Taylor." He said and I sighed. "She was asleep and I didn't want to go in because Michael sleeps naked so I thought that maybe she would too, she's related to him after all." He told me.

"She only does when she's too tired to change or after we um, you know." I said and he nodded. "Why does my head hurt so much Calum?"

"You banged it around quite a bit last night." He said and then explained what happened. As he did, memories replayed in my head and I nodded.

"Oh." I said and felt a bit disgusted. "Come here Calum." He walked over and then I gave him a hug. "Thank you." I said and he rubbed my back.

"You're welcome." He said and I buried my face in his neck. "I'm just going to put this out here, leaving me with a raging boner isn't nice." He told me and I laughed.

"I'm sorry." I said and he just nodded, humming as we stayed in each other's arms. "I'm cold." I said and he chuckled.

"You're already in a long sleeve, what more do you need? A hoodie?" He joked and I nodded. "Oh, I was joking."

"I wasn't."

"I'll bring you one of mine." He said and I nodded as he pulled away. "Watch the water, don't let it whistle too long." I nodded and he left the kitchen.

I got off of the counter and then reached under his flannel, scratching my boob a bit from under my bra. It was itchy and just because I had his shirt on doesn't mean I'm not going to scratch it.

If Luke can happily scratch his balls in front of us, I think I'm fine.

I washed my hands and then dried them on a towel. I immediately turned the water off as the kettle whistled and then I heard a groan. "Calum?" I asked, momentarily forgetting that we weren't the only ones in this house.

"I just skipped the last step." He grunted out and I walked over. I laughed a bit and then helped the poor boy up. "I was on my phone." He said and I nodded.

"You're an idiot." I said and he chuckled. He draped the grey hoodie over my shoulders and I smiled. "Thanks Cal."

"You're welcome Autumn." He said and I put my arms theough the sleeves. "Come on, let's have a cup of tea and coffee."

"You don't drink coffe?"

"What am I? Some stressed out college student? Some rich thirty year old woman?" He joked and I laughed. "I'm fine with my tea." He said and we went to the kitchen.

"Red or blue?" He questioned, holding two mugs up. I looked down at the shirt I had on and then gave him a smile. "Red it is." He said and he began to make the two drinks.

"Have I ever told you that you had a nice upper body?" I accidentally asked as he reached behind me to grab a teabag. "I'm sorry, it sl-"

"It's fine." He said and smiled. "Last night you said I was hot but that's the most you've ever said about my body." He said and I blushed.

"Well, you have a nice upper body." I said and he looked at me. He shook his head an then handed me the red mug.

"Really? I don't think so." He said as I took a sip of my coffee. "I still need to work out to get those abs, you know, like Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson." He said and held his stomach.

"I don't think you do, but if that's what it takes for you to love your body, do it." I said and he chuckled. "You're perfect the way you are though."

"You're sappy." He said and scrunched his nose up a bit as I laughed. "For a girl who should have a banging headache, you're pretty happy."

"I'm pushing it aside." I said and he rled his eyes. "I'm outs definitely better, but a little thumping here and there?"

"Thumping? Is someone trapped inside your head?" He asked and I laughed, setting my coffee down on the counter. "Let me out! Let me out!" He cried and I laughed as I shook my head.

"No thank you. I like when you invade my thoughts."

"What?" He asked as his laughing died down. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked me and I just blushed.

"I um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let that slip." I said and looked down at my hands that we're on my lap. "I just made it awkward-"

"No, you didn't." He said and I looked at him. "It's not awkward, not if you don't want it to be." He said and smiled at me. "It's just, is it true?"

"What?"

"Do I really invade your thoughts?"

"Every god-damn day." I said and looked at him. "You always seem to be running through my mind every day and it's weird because you shouldn't, yet you are."

"I've always been a little rebel," he said, walking up to me, trapping me between the counter and his body. I looked up at him and he just kept his gaze down on me.

"Me too."

"Maybe that's why." He said and I hummed. I set my hands on his chest, having the intention to push him away but not the strength.

"If someone walks in were both screwed Cal." I whispered because we were so close to kissing. I could smell the tea off of his breath and feel my cheeks reddening.

"I don't mind." He said and then it was up to me. Did I mind? Did I care if someone walked in? Did I care if he just kissed me or if I just kissed him.

It was hard because it was so tempting, but I couldn't. I couldn't do that to Taylor and I don't think Ashton would like me kissing his band mate.

"We always find ourselves in this situation." I said and the corner of his lips fell was I pushed him back was bit. "I'm sorry, it's always my fault too." I said and he nodded.

"I unserstand, but don't pin this on yourself. It's just as much my fault as it is yours." He said and I took a sip of my coffee. "I can't keep my hands off of you." He said and I blushed.

"Shut the fuck up guys, Jesus christ, I woke up to you two giggling like children." I heard a deep voice and we looked. Luke entered the kitchen and I looked at the hickies and scratch marks that litered bis body.

"Stop checking me out." He snapped at me as he grabbed a few pain killers. "I don't appreciate your eyes running over my body."

"Your back is bleeding," I informed him quietly and Calum just glared at the blonde. "And I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"Be nice mate. I know you're hungover but don't take it out on Autumn." Calum defended me and he scoffed. "Plus, you literally scream sex."

"I'm never the one that screams during sex and you know that."

"Sadly." Calum sighed. "Be quiet next time. I didn't sleep until like five am because of you and her." He said and Luke dolled his eyes.

"Whatever." He said and left the room. I looked at Calum and he just pulled a funny face, causing me to laugh a bit.

"You're a dork." I said and he smiled. "Why are we friends?" I asked him as I drank my coffee.

Because you're dating Taylor and can't become anything more than friends with him.

"Because I'm a dork." He said and I rolled my eyes. "You know you love me Autumn." Calum told me and I chuckled.

"I do indeed Mr. Hood."

"That's my father." He told me and I just shook my head. "I'm just Calum, or babe, or Cashmoney." He said and listed a bunch of names I could call him.

"Is 'a fucking idiot' one?" I asked him and he laughed. He took a drink of his tea and then nodded.

"It's reserved for you and my sister." He said and I nodded. "Only you two get to call me a fucking idiot, if someone else does it, I kick their ass." He said.

"I want a nickname someone else can't use." I hummed and he chuckled. "I'm bad at nicknames, I don't know to call you." I said and he set his tea down.

"You can call me anytime."

"Shut up you fucking idiot." I said and he laughed. "That's rude." I hummed. "I'll just stick to Cal, dork, or on special occasions, fucking idiot."

"Wow, I love you too Autumn."

"I know." I said and then set my empty mug on the counter again. "Want to listen to some Good Charlotte very loudly so we can fuck with the others?"

"You had me at Good Charlotte." He said and smirked. We walked out of the kitchen and he turned the Xbox on. I turned the television on and then turned it up all the way.

"They're going to kill us, especially Michael." He hummed as he typed 'Good Charlotte' in the YouTube search box.

He played the song 'Dance Floor Anthem' and I flinched at the loud sound. I stayed in and then Calum began to yell the lyrics.

"Everybody put up your hands and say 'I don't want to be in love'." He yelled and then a door was slamming. I ran to the backyard door and then opened. Calum started banging on the wall beside the door and began to rush me.

"You're fucking dead Hood!" Someone yelled and we ran outside. Calum grabbed me and then he pulled me to the side of the house and you could still hear the song from out here.

"I don't want to be in love," Calum repeated and I looked at him. He smiled and then I smiled back.

"If we die today Autumn, I just want to say you're my favorite out of all of those fuckers." He whispered as the sliding door slammed shut.

"If we die, just know, you're a fucking idiot and are sadly, my favorite boy in the house." I said and he smiled at me as he chuckled.

He has such a pretty smile.
