'That was difficult,' Callum muttered. His arms hurt from all the effort.
-
Eli nodded. "Yes it was. Do you wanna knock on the door?" They figured it was definitely better if Callum did so he'd be able to see his parents sooner, plus they didn't know how Callum's parents would react to a stranger knocking on their door.
-
Callum nodded. His hand hovered over the wooden door, fist balled. But he didn't knock. He thought about his parents, and couldn't seem to bring himself to knock on the door.
-
"You.... You alright?" Eli asked. "Is something wrong?"
-
Callum clenched his jaw. His knuckles were almost white, and his fingernails dug into his palm. He nodded once.
-
Eli grabbed Callum's hand, smoothing it out. "What's wrong?"
-
'I dunno,' Callum said, taking a deep breath. 'Just... scared.'
-
"About what?" Eli asked. "I bet they've missed you. A LOT. And I know they'll be happy to see you."
-
'But what if they're mad?' Callum asked, looking at Eli.
-
"About what?" Eli asked. "You didn't mean to make that monster. They'll understand."
-
Callum sighed and looked back at the door. He squeezed Eli's hand and pulled his own away, then knocked.
-
Eli heard someone walk over to the door, and her tone sounded confused. The woman-Callum's mom most likely- noticed Callum and her face lit up.
-
Callum looked at his mum, swallowing. 'Hey, mu-'
Before he could finish, he was enveloped in a hug by his mother. -
Eli didn't say anything, and just leaned against the wall, smiling.
-
Callum wrapped his arms around his mother, a tear running down his cheek. They stood there for a moment, before his dad walked towards the doorway.
'Claudia, what are you-' he noticed Callum. 'Callum?!'
