What We Could Be // cake

Chapter 42

Ashton's POV.

I pull Luke into the hospital. As much as I hate to do this, he needs to learn. Luckily, we're allowed to visit at this hour. I pull him into Calum's room and he runs up to Calum and cups his face.

"I'm so sorry those meanies left you there." Luke says and glares at me.

"I thought you were out? You were with me at school the whole day." Luke says.

"I know. I probably need to rest to." Luke chuckles.

What?

"No Luke. Calum isn't answering you I'm sorry." I say.

"He fucking is! Why can't you just accept him?!" Luke shouts holding Calum's hand.

"I would if he did talk! But he isn't okay? He's not talking! He's laying in bed, recovering! I don't know what the hell you're seeing but it's wrong!" I shout and Luke stares at me with no emotion in his eyes. He looks lost. He looks like he has a hole inside him.

"Luke... He'll live. It's ok--"

"WELL ACCORDING TO YOU AND YOUR FUCKING BOYFRIEND," Luke cuts me off pointing to Michael. "HE ISN'T VERY FUCKING ALIVE IS HE?!" Luke screams.

We stare at him and he stares back. Suddenly, he begins to cry.

"My little baby... Fucking gone." He says and pushes past me and runs out the door.

"It's okay Cal, he doesn't mean it. He's just hallucinating because he misses you so much... Please fucking wake up. He's messed up like this..." I say and walk out.

Michael says something too before coming out and we go to Luke.

"You see? He's safe in that hospital bed. Nobody's going to hurt him." I say.

"Yeah but he's not damn alive." Luke sighs.

"He is he's just not awake at the moment." Michael says and Luke glares at both of us and suddenly begins to cry and runs away.

We stare at him sadly as he runs out of the hospital.

"Poor boy." I say and Michael nods.

Luke's POV.

I don't understand why everyone has to be so mean to me about Calum. They aren't helping. I droopily walk home and slam the door and mom sticks her head out.

"Luke? Why aren't you at school?!" She shouts.

"Calum's in a coma do you think I can handle school right now?" I answer and she sighs.

"Fine. Only this week okay? Then I want you to go back. I'm only letting you recover." She says and I run up to my room and instantly begin to cry.

They don't know if he's going to live... what if he doesn't live? What if he dies? What will I do then? I have nobody else. Leo's a huge nope, Michael and Ashton aren't gay, I'll die alone. I want to live with Calum and adopt a thousand kittens and puppies together. But if Leo fucked him up that badly, my life is going the lower direction. The direction down after I jump off that building. No. I can't consider suicide yet because Calum's still alive. I don't know if he can hear me or if he's sleeping because those fucking nurses are no help.

My mom comes in and sits next to me. I'm still crying and she puts an arm around my shoulders and I cry harder because she cares so much.

"It's okay Luke. He'll live." She says. She sounds like Ashton but I like my mom better than Ashton so I listen to her.

"I brought you some food." She says and gives me cookies. I take one and nibble on it. She sighs and leaves me alone making me cry again. I don't think I'll ever stop. I'll only stop when he wakes up and he's only been asleep for two days.

I'm suddenly filled with anger and rage. Why the fuck is this world doing this to me? I cry harder and take the plate of cookies and throw them to the wall and a huge smash makes me happier.

Liz's POV.

I just walk down the stairs and sit at the couch worriedly. I have no clue why this is breaking Luke so much. It's obvious Calum will live. I hear a loud smash and scream and more commotion. Luke is beginning to be scary now. I've never seen him this angry before. I hear loud sobs and screams as each this keeps coming. I want to stop him but I admit, I am too scared. I'll clean his room later...
