Beth's POV

I can't believe I saw Calum at the mall and probably he think that i'm stalking him or something. Oh gross, i would rather drown myself than stalk him. I opened the door knot and i was suprised that the house was in a mess. I sighed and start picking up the glass that shattered on the floor. Most probably my parents have been fighting, they thought that I won't find out about this but they were wrong about that fact they can't hide this matter from me. I heard sobbing coming from the kitchen, I was shocked to see my mum was lying down there in blood.

"MUM! what happen?" i start to feel tears escaping. My mum cupped my cheeks...

"Please behave yourself and stay with daddy. I am sorry about this, i cant hide anymore, your father and I have divorced about 4 months ago and we are suppose to tell you so you could feel happy and im really sorry dear"

"I love you"

That was the last words I heard from her. I felt more tears escaping and Shawn hugged me. Dad was nowhere to be seen and hasn't called us or visited us eversince it happen.

-Flasback-

Calum's POV

I was walking back home from the mall. My phone vibrated as I slide it off from my left pocket.

Call.

Hello, is this Calum Hood?

Yes, can I know who on the line? 

I am Beth's Mum, I would like to meet you now.

Sure, I will be there in 5 mins.

End call.

I was curious why did Beth's Mum called me and it sound so important? Did something happen to Beth? But I just saw her a few minutes ago. Weird. I drove to Beth's house. I stood infront of the door and slightly knock on it.

"You must be Calum, come inside" I was greeted by a young lady who I assume it was Beth's Mum.

I take small steps towards the kitchen counter. I felt so weird and how she know about me? Maybe Beth have been talking about me?

"Come and sit Calum"

"So you and Beth are friends?"

I nodded knowing that I lied and I am sure she hate me from the first day she saw me.

"I thought it will be better if you guys are more than friends. You seem to be a lovely guy and I knew something going to change between the both of you"

"WHAAAT? No, she hates me, didnt she tell you that? I feel guilty after what I did to her and I want to apologise but she - " I was cut off by the door bell.

" Beth is stubborn, try talking to her nicely amd maybe she will changed her mind. I don't think she hates you, indeed she have been talking about you most of the times which make me curious about it" She stood up and walk towards the front door.

The conversations I had with Beth's mum was very infromative, I learnt more things about her and how she been talking alot about me. It was time I left before Beth get home. I drove back smiling from ear to ear and slightly blushing.

-End of flashback -

*2 days later*

I felt that i was half-alive and half-dead, i have been crying eversince the funeral start til it end. I am not ready to be alone without my mum. Now, i have the house by myself. Shawn have ask me whether I like to stay with him but i declined. I need some space to clear the thought that on my mind. Denise will usually come over after school and hangout with me. She was the only one who take good care of me eversince that incident happen.

Nevertheless, I still need to go to school. I wake up as usual, head into the shower and let the hot water showered down my body. I apply concealer to cover up my eyebag so I won't look like panda. I am not familiar with silent in my house. I will usually smelled pancakes or bacon that my mum maked for us. I sobbed and left for school. I have to skate to school since dad wasn't around, yes I skate, is there a problem with girl skating? I was knocked down by another skateboard, i fell on my knees and see blood.

Calum's POV

I was skating to school and I noticed Beth was skating to school too. Wow, I didn't know that she could skate. I need to apologise to her for making her feel bad about the nasty things that i said to her. I decided to paste a piece of paper on my skateboard and pushed it towards her. I look over at her and she lose balance and fall hard on her knees causing blood to form up.

"shit" i mumbled and ran towards her.

"omg beth i am so sorry, i thought it will land infront of you but i was wrong." I apologised and digging through my bag finding for tissues. I slowly wiped the blood off and pour water on it. I make sure that I did it slowly not wanting her to scream or left mark on my hand. There was an awkward silent.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked breaking the silent.

"Okay look, im sorry for making you feel terrible and i mean sorry means it from the bottom of my heart, i was shy to talk to you, scare that you will actually walked away from me so i wrote on a paper 'SORRY'  and paste on my skateboard" i finished my sentence and trying to breathe normally. My heartbeat was racing faster than it ever did.

All she did was smiled at me and slap my arm.

'ouch that hurt' i mumbled.
