You Left | l.h.

Graduation was in just a couple weeks and I was panicking. I can't believe in two weeks that I am done with high school. I can get away from these people, from this town, from everything.

It was currently 3am and I had to be up in a few hours to get ready for school but I was just laying in bed, reflecting on life. Everything that's happened, how far I've come, how many turns my life has taken.

I had become a happier person and I was too absorbed in the irrelevant things to realize that. Granted, I wasn't at best, but I was sure as hell a lot better than what I was.

But then as time went on, my mind drifted back to Luke, like it usually does, and I start asking all these questions I have no answers to.

I am not even that upset anymore, just hurt. I just want to know why; why he left me, why he's rude to me, why he acts like he hates me one minute then is his old sweet self the next.

All I know is that I didn't want to be alone right now, so I climbed out of bed and quietly walked to Calum's room. I slowly opened his door to see if he was asleep, hoping he was, I didn't want to wake him, and walked over to his bed, climbing in.

I tried to get in as quietly as possible, but he stirred and it scared me so I stopped what I was doing. I got under the covers finally and closed my eyes when Cal spoke up and rolled over, placing his arm over my waist.

"It'll be okay." Was the last thing he whispered to me before falling back to sleep.

I guess that explains to you how many times I came in here, crying, or just scared, and needing someone. I was too thankful for him, but I couldn't help but have that fear that one day, he too, would leave me.

I didn't think I would be getting any sleep tonight, but I eventually got comfortable and let my mind drift off before I fell unconscious.

"You feeling okay?" Calum whispered to me as we entered school.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Thank you." I smiled.

"I'm always here, you know that." By the way I looked down and away, I think he took the hint that I did have the fear he'd leave.

"Hey, Evie, I will always be here." He reassured me, once again making a smile take over my face.

School was a typical, boring day. The fact I was almost done being the only thing getting me by. I can't wait to get out of this dump and away from this trash. (people)

"Evie, wait up!" I heard someone yell, making Calum and I turn around.

"You still up for hanging out this weekend?" Ashton asked, i hesitantly nodded.

"What about you, Cal?" He smiled, hopefully.

"I'm hanging out with my girlfriend, bud. Maybe next time?"

"Yeah, sure. Well I gotta run, see you this weekend."

Calum could tell I was hesitant about going this weekend, I didn't know what we were doing or who would be there. I think Ashton knows better than to invite certain people from his group.

"You'll have fun." He reassured me.
