Chapter 15

Me: Hey Cal.
Calum: Hey
Me: How's Luke
Calum: take a gess
Calum: *guess
Me: that bad???
Calum: worse
Me: ?????
Calum: come see for yourself, were in my basement, my parents are unpacking upstairs.
Me: oh there home?
Calum: Yeah
Me: I'll be right over
••••••••••••••••••••••••
My hand tapped against Calum's front door. And to be honest, I was afraid of what I would see. For many reasons. One, I had never met his parents before. And two, Luke. What if he was seriously depressed? How would Calum and I help him? I just don't know...

I knocked on the door. It opened slowly, causing my nervous pacing to stop. "...yeah, uh can I call you back? Ok, ok thanks. Be careful, bye." A women answered the door. She had long black hair and blue eyes. "Can I help you?" "Oh yeah. Uh, I'm Elaine. Cal-" "Oh Elaine." She smiled. "I've heard a ton about you. Come in!" I stepped inside the house. "Calums downstairs. "Uh thanks." I flashed the women a smile and made my way towards the stairs. That women didn't look like Calums mom. She was way to young and like I don't know, it's hard to explain. But she definitely wasn't Calums mom, I am sure of that.

The sound of a phone ringing caught my attention. "Ugh Calum is that your phone?" I put my hands over my ears. Calum looked over towards the stairs. "Yeah, some fan leaked my number and my phone won't stop ringing. Plus the screen froze so I can't silence it. Uh, anyway. Hey?" I smiled "He-"Calum suddenly turned around, "Luke! Bro seriously?" He ran the opposite direction towards the other side of the basement. I followed slowly, scared of what I would see.

Luke sat in the corner. Staring at the wall. He had just finished crying, no sobbing about a minute ago. But seeing him not crying was kinda weird, kinda scary. Because when he wasn't crying he looked emotionless. He just looked done. Nothing more than Done. I slowly lowered myself alongside Calum. Unsure what I should do next. Calums fingers were against his forehead, he didn't know what to do. "Cal?" He looked at me for a second, then at Luke. "Elaine, listen, I'm sorry." I looked into his eyes. "Why?" He put his arm around my shoulder, giving me a warm feeling in my chest. "It's just. I don't know. I haven't been a great boyfriend lately. With Luke and all." I moved my hand through his hair. It felt soft, as usual. I didn't really know how to respond to Calum. I mean, i am a bit upset that he seemed to only have time for Luke lately, but I would never admit that. I would never admit that I had felt lonely the past few weeks. At least I won't admit it to Calum. So I just kept my response simple, "I know Cal, it's ok." He shook his head. "No it's not," He put his hand on my arm, "We need to go on a date." I couldn't help but smile, "what about Luke?" His eyes moved forward, "It's Michaels turn to take care of Luke, so I'm free, say about 7?" My smile widened, "It's a date!"
