coma- part three

"calum"?

and that is when it happened, right before my eyes. the asshole that has been causing me the worst anxiety for the past few months, has opened those chocolate brown eyes i have been longing to see. you will never understand how much of a refile it was to see the one person do the one thing you have been dying to see. calum was fucking awake. he was awake and looking at me with confused, like he was not sure where he was or what he was doing here.

"l-l-l-luke" he attempted to say my name, but it came out really rapsy like he had not said a word in months. well, he has not said a word in months and it is all my fault.

"please. dont talk. would you like some water or something cal"? i asked him, attempting to speak quitley, in case he had a headache or something.

he nodded his head, and i got up to get a glass of water. grabbing my phone, i called joy, telling her she needed to come to the hospital asap. when i went back to the room, calum was wincing and looked like he was about to die. i dont think he realized that there was a button on the side of his bed so he could get the nurse to  help him out. i walked over to the side of his bed, pressing the button, while he looked at me confused for a second. he didnt say anything, but drank his water in peace and relief falshed in his eyes once the water touched his tounge.

i sat down beside him, on my chair.

"hey cal. your mum is on her way" i told him, looking down, not really liking the fact that he could remember at any second that i was the reason he was laying on the hospital bed. i knew that he was going to ask what happened to him, but i still had no idea how he was going to react to the answer. i mean, calum is reasonable, and will probably not care as much as i think he does, but it is a big deal to me. i could be the reason calum is no longer alive, knock on wood, and its terrifying to think about.

"luke, we were in a car accident, werent we" calum asked me, and i almost threw up. i was told there was a slim chance that he was going to know what happened to him. i though i would be able to find out how to, i dont know, sugar coat what happened. i decided it was probably the best idea to tell the full truth.

"okay calum, what do i have to lose, well everything actually. so a few months ago, i asked you to come to the bar wiht me, because i wanted to get drunk and not have to worry so much about getting home safetly, since i knew you were going to be there with me. it was getting a bit late at this point, and i was drunk, but i remember everything rather clearly. you got me into the car and started driving us home. i turned on the radio and started singing like my life depended on it, which annoyed you, making you look away from the road to turn it off. there was suddenly a bright light coming coser, and the next thing i knew, i was laying in the hospital bed beside you" i told him actually starting to tear up cause of how stupid and distructi i felt. "calum, please dont hate me. i can not lose you the second i got you back man" i begged him, but he looked away from me, and i saw a tear slip from his eye.

"i am not going to leave you, but there is no chance that i am going out with people who think that drinking is okay" he said and looked at me, his face showing no emoition other then seriousness.

i promised him that i would quit drinking, which would not be hard considering the fact that i only started drinking a few months ago. calums mum, joy, arrived a few mintues after i made my promise. she started crying, and then he started crying, and that is when i decided it was better for me to leave the room and not ruin the moment.

i texted ashton and michael the news, to which they were very greatful and said they would be to the hospital as soon as they were able to. i tweeted the fans that everything was going to be okay and there was no longer anything to worry about. the doctor told calum later that day that he was going to have to undergo thearpy. he attempted to argue, not long after, giving in. everything was going to be okay. calum was okay
