Calypso's POV

The golden light of the sun shines through the curtains of my bedroom. I lay in my bed with one hand under the pillow and the other under my head. I think about yesterday, about the boy with the curly black hair and the dark brown eyes that make me melt inside. I need to see him again. I decide to finally get up. As I get ready for the day I put on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and my favorite flower tank top with a white jacket over it. I don't have work today so I decide I'd call Leo. So I dial the number he gave me yesterday.

"Hello," a familiar voice says. It's the angelic voice of Leo Valdez.

"Umm, Hi Leo this is Calypso," I answer. I hear people talking in the background but I can't make out what they say.

"Oh, hey Callie." Someone calls his name in the background. "One second let me go somewhere less noisy." I sit on the couch and wait for him to start talking again. "Okay, so what's up?"

"I have the day off, and if you're not doing anything I would love to hang out with you." I say.

"Actually today is perfect. My band and I have one performance later today so we could hang out and then you can come and watch."

"Okay where should I meet you?"

"I was actually heading to the park if you want to meet there."

"Okay cool, see you then."

"Bye Callie."

"Bye." I hang up the phone.

I grab my purse that has a long strap and put it across my body and walk out grab my keys and head out. As I get to the elevator to go down someone else is already there. Someone I don't want to see.

"Hey Cal." My ex-boyfriend Adam says. I just look at him and then roll my eyes and press the button for the lobby. As soon as the doors close Adam pushes me into the wall.

"What the he—"he interrupts by putting pressing his lips against mine. I push him away. "Get away from me!"

"Look, I'm sorry for what I did to you."

"You mean for cheating on me," I fix my jacket and turn away from him. "You're not forgiven."

"Come on Cal." He puts his lips on my neck. I jab him with my elbow. "Ow what the fuc—"he is interrupted by a punch in the face. I look out the elevator doors to see who punched him.

"Omg!" I hug the person, it's a girl with long black hair tied into a braid. She wears dark blue skinny jeans and a sliver colored t-shirt. "Zoe, I didn't know you were coming."

"I wanted to surprise you." My sister says. She turns to face Adam who is holding his nose. "Don't you dare touch my sister ever again, or I will hunt you down." He nods and walks quickly out of the building. "So where are you headed?"

"I was going to meet a friend at the park." I smile and start walking. Zoe follows.

"Cool, mind if I tag along?" she asks.

"Sure," I answer as we walk towards the park. We walk and talk about my story. I tell her how I want to try and publish it into a book. Zoe agrees that I should. We keep talking until we get to the park. I scan the area for Leo. I find him and he turns and makes eye contact with me. I smile and wave.

"There he is." I point at the boy walking towards us. Zoe looks at him.

"Is he you're new boyfriend?" she looks at me with a questioning look.

"No. Were just friends." I say

"Callie!" Leo says as he stops in front of us. "Hi, I'm Leo." He holds his hand out towards Zoe. She hesitates for a second and then shakes his hand.

"Zoe, I'm Cal's sister. Well, half-sister." I smile at Leo. He smiles back. Zoe from me to Leo then back to me. "I'll be going, want to see Uncle Max while I'm in town." She turns on her heal and walks to the edge of the road and calls a taxi. I turn to Leo.

"So what's up Callie?" Leo says. We walk over to a picnic table. I sit on one side and Leo sits on the other.

"Not much, I was working on my story last night."

"Cool, do you have it with you?"

"No, I don't but maybe you could come over later and you could read it."

"Awesome."

"So, am I ever going to meet these band members?"

"You can meet them tonight." We talk for hours, we end up walking to a place to get lunch. We laugh, we hug and we smile. I find myself slowly falling in love with him. I tell myself that he is better than the rest of them. Better than Adam, who cheated on me, I tell myself that Leo is not going to cheat on me. Leo makes me feel something I've never felt with Adam. Leo is the start of something new.

*Few Hours later*

I was sitting in a stool leaning against the bar, watching Leo as he is getting ready for his performance. Leo introduced me to his band members. The boy with blonde hair and electric blue eyes is Jason, he plays the guitar and sings back up. Piper is the girl with the choppy brown hair; she is the second main singer. Then there is a boy named Jake, he plays the drums and is also Leo's half-brother. They call themselves The Heroes. I smiled at that when he told me. I just sit and watch. Leo said that the song they are going to play is dedicated to me. So here I am sitting and waiting for them to perform. A guy goes up on stage up to the microphone.

"Okay, party people. This song is called I Like That (A/n: This belongs to Before You Exit. Check out the links at the bottom.)

You've got that smile, you've got it all

I know I'm right, you think I'm dead wrong

You've got that face

You've got that laugh

I know you're shy

And girl I like that

Can't find a mirror to see what I see in you

But I will follow you until you see it too

I know I can't help but love everything you do

But you can't see that and girl I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

So take my world, just take it all

I'd cross the earth, to break YOUR free fall

I'd run the streets, to show you that

I'm so in love

And girl I like that

Can't find a mirror to see what I see in you

But I will follow you until you see it too

I know I can't help but love everything you do

But you can't see that and girl I like that

I'll be there when you don't know what you should do

If you heart breaks I'll be there to fix it too

I know I can't help but love everything you do

But you can't see that and girl I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

You got glasses on

I, I like that

Sing this song

I, I like that

Girl it's on

I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

No makeup on

I, I like that

Sing this song

I, I like that

Girl it's on

I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I

Can't find a mirror to see what I see in you

But I will follow you until you see it too

I know I can't help but love everything you do

But you can't see that and girl I like that

I'll be there when you don't know what you should do

If you heart breaks I'll be there to fix it too

I know I can't help but love everything you do

But you can't see that and girl I like that

But you can't see that and girl I like that

But you can't see that and girl I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I, I, I, I like that

I clap and smile at Leo who looks at me. He smiles and steps of the stage and pushes through the crowd straight towards me…

Sorry guys, I thought a cliff hanger would be great. I might be a little evil. Ha-ha just kidding, the cliff hanger is real though.
