I woke up the next morning feeling relieved and happiest that I've been in a long time with Callum right by my side and I cuddled up closer to him, waiting till he awoke from his sleep before climbing out of his bed, Callum pulling me closer to him in his embrace as we sat up in his bed
"Morning" he greeted me
"Morning" I mirrored
"Did you sleep ok?" he enquired sleepily
"Yeah I did Callum and thanks for letting me stay the night here with you" I informed him
"It's no problem Maddie and don't mention it" he exclaimed
"I wonder what Alex and Rosie would say if they found out that we spent the night together" I enquired
"Well they will never know will they" he replied
Callum smiled widely at me before leaning his head down to mine and resting it against my forehead, softly and tenderly rubbing my nose before connecting our lips together, pulling away breathless a few moments later with his arm around my shoulder
"Fancy getting some breakfast love" he suggested
"Yeah" I stated
"The kitchen is downstairs and on your right" he proclaimed "Make us a fry up Mads"
"You cheeky git" I exclaimed, playful and lightly slapping his chest
"I'm only teasing Maddie but why don't we go down and get something to eat" Callum suggested, rising an eyebrow
I nodded my head in agreement and he threw back the bedsheets as we got up from the bed, Callum took hold of my hand gently as I entwined our fingers together and smiled gently to him to which he smiled gently back, leaving his bedroom and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, entering to see Callum's sisters Ash and Lacey sat at the breakfast bar
"Oh god, sorry" I proclaimed, my eyes meeting there's
"Don't be" Ash replied "And I thought it was you Lacey slamming the doors in the early hours"
"That was me sorry" I exclaimed
"That's not a problem love" she stated "Come sit down and have some breakfast"
I looked up at Callum and he smiled gently and motioned us to sit down at the breakfast bar, we walked over to the table and sat down opposite his sisters, pouring myself some cereal into the bowl and Callum took hold of my free hand and entwined our fingers together under the breakfast bar
"So does your friend have a name Callum?" Ash interjected
"I'm Maddie and we're just friends" I greeted her
"Just friends eh" Lacey suggested, rising an eyebrow
"You must be more than friends by now since spending the night together" Ash proclaimed
"We're more than just friends" he stated, looking at me and smiling widely "She's my girlfriend"
"Did you two you know, do it last night?" Lacey enquired
"If you did I hope to god you used protection last night, I don't want to hear a screaming baby in the middle of the night because of you two" Ash questioned
"What we did last night is none of your business and can you both just drop it" he admitted
"Just relax Cal we wanted to know what happen last night as I know you came in really late" she explained
"What were you doing up that late anyway" he enquired, rising an eyebrow
"Nothing I couldn't sleep that's all and I heard you both come in" she explained
"Can you both just leave us alone now and watch some tv" he exclaimed
"Why should we Callum, it's out home too you know?" Lacey stated
"Just go, please" he sighed
"Fine" they replied in unison
Ash and Lacey got up from the table and placed their bowls in the sink before walking into the lounge with cups of tea in their hands, after we finished our breakfast I turned to face him as he took my hands in his, holding them softly and kissing my knuckles gently
"I'm so sorry about my sisters Maddie" he explained
"It's alright Callum I didn't mind their questions" I informed him
"Since now that we're together why don't you tell Alex that you're finished with him for good" he suggested, rising an eyebrow
"You really think that's a good idea? You know what he is like Callum" I admitted
"He can't hurt you not while I'm standing right by your side Maddie when you tell him" he exclaimed
"You will be there Callum, right?" I enquired, rising an eyebrow
"Course I will Mads I'm not leaving your side when you tell him" he replied
I nodded my head and gently pressed my lips against Callum's, my tongue fighting for dominance against his as I pulled away breathless from him, leaving the breakfast bar and climbing up the stairs to his bedroom to get changed into my clothes from the night before to head home in…..
I got changed into some clean cloths and Callum and I left my house, walking down some streets to Alex's home and no to sooner we left my house we were standing outside Alex's, Callum entwined our hands together and motioned us to walk up the driveway to the front door, he rang the doorbell as we waited and the door opened, Alex standing on the other side
"What are you doing here with him Maddie?" he greeted us
"I'm here to tell you something" I informed him
"Come inside so we can talk more in private Maddie" he suggested
"Callum is staying by my side as well if I can inside" I admitted
"Fine" he sighed heavily
Callum and I entered his house and Alex closed the door behind us and guided us both into the lounge, sitting down on the sofa as he sat opposite us
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Alex questioned, rising an eyebrow
"I'm splitting up with you Alex for good this time" I admitted
"No, no Maddie you can't leave me" he stated, shocked
"Well she is mate, by the way you have been treating her" Callum interjected
"You're leaving me for him and you bring him to my house to break up with me" he scolded, getting up from his chair and leaving the room
"Callum is here to protect me if you even lay a finger on me" I explained
"If I can't have you then no one can" Alex's voice echoed
Alex walked back into the room and this time with his elder brother, Alex's older brother knocked Callum out cold and tied him up as he tied me up as well, picking us up and throwing us into the back of their van, closing the door shut and climbing into the room of the van, I check Callum was still breathing as I tried to hold him close to me the best that I could as the van's engine started up, driving to god knows where….
