Chapter 12

You guys are the best thing that's ever happened to me

Ps, Sorry it's so short

Luke's P.O.V

It had been a week or so since I told Ash I loved Calum. Since then I ignored Calum again and Ash began to ignore me too, like our talk never happened. It was like I was nearly invisible to Michael still. His teasing comments and now stopped and now he didn't even bother to talk to me. He just threw me dirty looks and bumped into me every now and again on the bus but, I didn't mind.

I need to talk to Calum, tell him how I feel but, I physically can't. I'm too nervous. I can't think whether he's joking or not. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a joke. He's not the kind of person to play with people's emotions, is he? Surely not. He's too kind-hearted, cuddly, chubby-cheeked Calum.

Right now I was sat on the sofa in the dressing room, looking over at Calum who was at the other end of the room, sending me glances every now and again. His glances weren't dirty glances like Michael's though. They were friendly, loving glances. I should just tell Calum how I feel. I'd been ignoring him for almost a week, not giving him an answer after he told me he loved me. I'm going to tell him - I'll tell him before the show. I'll tell him now.

"Cal, can I talk to you?" I asked, walking up to him as he nodded. His face wasn't the happiest. He looked upset. But if the person you loved had been ignoring you for almost a week, you'd be upset too.

"What do you wanna talk about?" He asked, staring at me waiting for an answer.

It was moments like this where I became the awkward penguin everyone said I was before all the rumours started. My heartbeat started to quicken and my hands started to get clammy. I can do this. I can tell Calum. He's my best-friend, my crush, my bandmate! There's nothing to be scared of. I opened my mouth to begin to start saying what I needed to say.

"Look Cal, last we-" I started before I was interrupted.

"Boys, time to go on. Go go go! Have a good show." Our tour manager yeled pushing us from the sidelines of the stage to the middle of it as the crowd erupted in screams. I couln't tell Calum anything now, it was too late now. But, after the show I'll tell him. I have too. If I don't soon it'll be too late.

All through the show I couldn't stop feeling butterflies whenever Cal looked at me. But, as much as the feeling of butterflies, I also felt as if my stomach was going to come up and I was going to be sick. That's just because I was nervous. I've never been this nervous. Never. Not even before our first show or our first interview or our first TV appearance.

It was currently after the show. I haven't mentioned anything to Cal about talking to him or liking him.

"Luke, can I talk to you?" Cal asked, taking me by surprise. I thought he'd forgotten. Obviously not. I looked over at Ash who gave me a reassuring smile.

Cal lead my out of the room, through the corridor into the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Cal asked as my heart started to pick up its pace and my hands began to get clammy once again.

"W-well," I started, stuttering "You know last week when you said you loved me?" I asked waiting for Cal to nod his head, in which he did so.

"I just wanted to say that, I, uh, love you too." I finished. I looked up at Cal and his face had the biggest smile on it I'd ever seen on someone.

"Really?" Calum asked in disbelief as I nodded.

"Yeah."

I have to say, now I'd told him how I feel too, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Like I can actually concentrate at shows now. Like I can concentrate with life.

"Well, what happens now?" Calum asked, which got me thinking. What does happen now? Do we go back to being just friends because, I don't want that! I want to be with Calum and I don't care what anyone thinks.

"What do you want to happen?"

"I want us to be together, so I can hug you, kiss you, cuddle you and call you mine without a care in the world. What do you want to happen?" Calum asked.

"I want the exact same thing." I smiled, looking straight into Calum's eyes.

"Well then, will you Lukas Hemmings be my beautiful boyfriend?" Calum asked. My heart fluttered at the word boyfriend.

"Yes, of course I'll be your boyfriend Calum. Of course I will."
