Mafia || Calum Hood (COMPLETED)

17 | INFAMOUS

17 | INFAMOUS

Harry and I were walking around the park, it was quiet but not lonely. I didn't know birds chirped at night, and the crickets seemed to have some orchestra. The weather was cold, so I hugged the coat around my body tighter.

"Harry?" I spoke. He looks at me as if telling me to go one. "Why did you change your name? Why not just Marcel Twist?" I was curious. A smile formed on his face as he retrieves his hand from his pocket and drapes it around my shoulder.

"While I was staying at the Whitehouse, I was actually up for adoption. Your father didn't want me to stay in a foster home, he said he didn't want me to feel like I have no family, because he knows how difficult it is to grow up without one parent, let alone in my case, both parents." He explains.

"A month after you left, someone wanted me in their family. Her name was Anne Styles. She had a daughter, Gemma, who I already told you about. Anne processed some documents to change my name into Harry and carry her last name, she told me I deserved to start fresh. When I was ten, she married Robin Twist. Gemma and I kept our surname Styles. I love my new family, specially because they never tell me to forget where I came from."

A gentle cool breeze brushed our skin and he holds me tighter. "Every now and then, Anne and Gemma would fly with me to the States to visit my parent's grave." He smiles.

"I'd love to meet your family someday. They seem lovely." I tell him sincerely and his dimple shows. "We should get going before Angus sends the rescue team to find us." He beams and takes my hand.

I checked my phone again, no messages. None from Cal, none from Ashton. I hate to admit it, but I miss Cal. I haven't talked to him in weeks. Sometimes I catch him looking, sometimes he catches me for the same reason. I heaved a long sigh and shoved my phone back in my pocket.

"Mia!" I jump at the voice of Miss Mendez. She had her glassed pushed back and her hands on her hips. Angrily, she says, "If I see you looking at your phone again, i'm taking it. Is that understood?!" She knits her brows and I nod quickly.

"Repeat scene!" She instructs out loud and everyone scrambled into place. I lie on the made-up bed with my eyes closed. I can hear the echo of the door swinging open as Luke's voice fills the whole theatre.

"Where is she?" His voice rings again, I hear scrambling of feet and I can feel them close to me. A warm hand grazes my cheek. I can feel Luke breathing against my skin. "My beautiful, beautiful Snow White." He whispers. My heart skips a beat.

"Come back to me." His voice was soft and his touch was gentle. My heart beats faster, louder. I can feel him leaning in closer.. closer..

Don't gulp Mia don't gulp! I keep telling myself.

Luke's nose came in contact in mine. Oh my God.

Then a split second later, Luke's body heat seemed to have disappeared and I breathe, opening my eyes to see what's going on. Miss Mendez grunts in frustration, throwing the script in the air.

"I'm sorry Miss Mendez but I can't do this." Luke touches the back of his neck. "If this kiss doesn't happen tomorrow i'll—" Luke cuts her off, "How can I? When every step I take towards Mia I can literally feel two pairs of eyes burning holes in my skin!!!" Luke defends as he motions to Calum and Harry in the front row. They both looked away pretending to be looking at something else.
