What We Could Be // cake

Chapter 46

Luke's POV.

I walk into school once again. I think I've managed to recover a little over last week knowing that Calum could hear me and is alive and also the fact that his whole hand can move. I'm proud of how well he's doing. He's handling this really well, as annoyed as I am that he continuously tries waking up but at least he's doing it for me.

"Luke?" I hear and see Leo walking over.

"No Leo. Go away." I say and look for a distraction and walk over to my locker but he follows me.

"Luke, please. I owe you and apology." He says.

"Yes you fucking do but after what you did you can get the hell away from me." I say and he sighs.

"I'll make it up to you." He says.

"How?" I ask and Leo runs a hand through his hair.

"I don't know, just please accept my apology." Leo says.

"I can't fucking accept it! You put my boyfriend in a fucking coma! It's been a week and the most he's done is move his fucking hand!" I shout and Leo steps back a little.

"Just... stop making me feel bad." He says.

"You deserve to feel bad." I spit and look around, realizing people were gathering around and staring. They all had the same look as Leo in their eyes. Fear.

They're scared of me? All I'm doing is telling Leo off for putting my own boyfriend in a coma.

"What is wrong with this godamn school?! You can't even be on my side?" I shout and they all look like 8 year olds being told off. I sigh and walk away. I don't need anyone.

Fuck everyone, fuck everything, I just want Calum back. I feel like everyone is ganging up on me. Leo's doing something to them to make me this way. I want rip Leo's stupid little head off and fucking sell it to the devil.

I suddenly stop walking. What the hell is happening to me? I want to sell his head to the devil? I need to talk to mom more. Wait, she's scared of me too. I'll go to Mali. She's innocent... right? No, I need someone who doesn't swear or anything. Maybe Calum? My brain asks. No, Calum's in a fucking coma! Okay, I really need to stop swearing.

It's okay, I can train myself to be little Lucas again. I sit in class as the bell rings. Okay, now listen to the teacher.

"So tea was very popular in China around the 19th century. Of course, the British empire really wanted the tea because of how good it was and how much it was worth." She explains.

Oh fuck this. No! No, I will not swear. I will listen!

"Which is why the British empire bombed the Chinese navy sending the opium around. That is how the opium war began. Now, can someone please recap it since all of you were listening for sure?" She asks and I raise my hand making everyone gasp. I never put my hand up but I was actually bothered to listen this time.

"Lucas?" She asks and I recap everything she just said and she looks impressed.

"Very good job Lucas. Now, see if you actually listen," she shouts slamming her hand on the table. "Then you wouldn't get detention like the rest of your class." She smiles and everyone gives me dirty looks but soon look away. Yes, they're still scared.

Time passes and the bell rings. I get out first and I have a free period next. I sit in a park outside and sit on my phone. I don't even care about anyone or anything anymore. I just want Calum back.
