Falling For Hood | C.H.

Chapter 97 : Trying Too Hard

| Helen |

Over the past week, I've constantly been on the phone with Calum.

We Skyped two or three times.

I'm gonna see Calum today. I missed him so much!

I pushed myself off the bed and went to my closet.

I put on a Fall Out Boy band tee, black jeans and black and white Chucks.

After brushing my teeth and putting my hair in a high ponytail, I packed an extra outfit and undergarments into small bag. We're driving to Melbourne and staying overnight in a hotel. Mom doesn't want to drive at night.

I made sure to pack my charger.

When I made sure I had everything I needed packed, I went downstairs.

Mom was preparing breakfast.

"Good morning Helen," She said.

"Morning Mum," I replied.

"Only Luke calls me that," She laughed.

"yea, his Australian accent is rubbing off on me."

"Well let's eat then we'll get on the road."

"What about the guys' parents?" I asked.

"We're meeting them at the hotel in Melbourne," Mom replied.

I nodded.

We ate in silence.

When we finished eating, we grabbed our travel bag and got in the car.

My phone notified me that Calum had just posted a picture on Twitter. I checked the photo out and it was captioned, 'Melbourne show tonight! Gonna rock our asses off for you' It was a selfie with Michel. I giggled at the picture.

I put my headphones in and put my music on shuffle.

'Jesus of Suburbia' was the first song to play.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

It was a slow trip to Melbourne, but we finally arrived.

Mom parked in the hotel parking lot and we got out.

Turned out Anne Marie, Karen, and Joy had already arrived. Mom and I checked into the hotel and went into our seperate rooms.

I tossed my bag on the ground and jumped on the fluffy bed.

The white hotel sheets were neatly made. The room was cool.

I opened the sliding door to the balcony and stepped outside.

The city of Melbourne spread out before me.

Cars smoothly slid across the roads.

Not a cloud in the blue sky and the sun was shining brightly.

I was practically counting the minutes down for the show.

I couldn't contain my excitement for when I got to see Calum again.

"We're going up okay," Mom told me.

She was going with the guys' parents to the stalls. Which was the upper level of the Palais Theater.

"Helen please take care of Lauren and Harry for me," Anne told me.

I smiled, "Don't worry Anne, I'll be extra careful."

She nodded.

Ashton's sibling were going to watch the show from the front row.

We didn't want to the Stalls, we each decided the Orchestra was better. Right in front of the stage.
