Escape (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Confession

"What the fuck do you mean it came back? They said it was gone!"Luke yelled into the receiver. He was currently speaking to his brother in the kitchen while the rest of us were all out in the living room attempting to watching some movie. Even with the tv on, you could hear every word from his mouth. I cringed at his words and how upset he was. It was hard to think that this was the same flirty, cheeky, happy, boy this morning when we went to breakfast.

When we got back to Calum and I's house, we greeted everyone, and parted ways to shower and such. Caitlyn entered my room as I was washing up and asked for details. Just when I was telling her about how Luke and I woke up half naked next to each other, there was a knock on my door. No one ever knocks in this house, ever, unless it's my father.

Assuming it was my father, I opened the door gingerly but instead I was met with Olivia. She told me how she hates how things have been so awkward and really wanted to move past this without loosing our friendships. I agreed with Olivia completely, but my pride was getting the best of me.

She was the one that did us wrong so she needed to fix it. In the end we all group hugged, cried, and laughed once I accepted that it happened. And that we won't ever be able to move forward if we all kept dwelling in what she did. Caitlyn and I also talked to the boys individually afterwards when Olivia went home about not treating the situation so harshly anymore.

They all seemed to see eye to eye with us fully except for Calum, of course. But I knew he would either be the first or the last to forgive her and obviously needed more time to come to terms with it. So I didn't pester him about it. I told Olivia about where Calum stood on the situation and thankfully she understood completely. This resulted in all of us having 'family' time and watching a movie together like we did in the flat.

Right before the movie had started, Luke's phone rang. He showed me that it was Ben and sent me an apologetic look. Twenty minutes later is what brings us back to his yelling as background noise for our movie. I felt bad for Ben because it's not his fault his mom has cancer. It's not Jack's fault. It's not Luke's fault. And it's most certainly not Liz's fault.

But Luke had no where to direct his emotions right now and Ben is the one that broke the news to him. So that's where his anger went. I wanted to help  so badly but I didn't know how. Ashton and Caitlyn were sitting on couch that was slightly further away from the tv.

You could hear Ashton's famous giggle every once in a while and Caitlyn smacking him softly chuckling when he tried to speak to her stomach. Calum was sulking in the corner of the couch to my right and Michael was on my left. He was leaning on and cuddling me while half asleep. He was still getting over his cold so he has been more tired and lazy lately. I didn't mind though as long as he didn't get me sick. Olivia was next to him sitting contently and was the only one of us that had been actually watching the movie.

I sighed and pulled my phone out scrolling through certain social medias and continued to do so until a  notification popped up from Luke. 'I'm done now.' he texted. Since he didn't just come back out on his own, I assumed this meant he wanted me to come to him. I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly mentally preparing myself to help Luke through this. I pushed Michael off of me gently as he groaned and reached out grasping for me.

Instead I pushed him towards Calum and he latched onto him like a koala. But Calum acted like this was completely normal and it didn't phase him at all. Although, all the boys are fairly 'cuddly', so then again it didn't surprise me to much as to why he just kept scrolling through his phone. I chuckled and shook my head walking towards the kitchen.

I stepped in through the door way and Luke was leaning against the counter across from the large island rubbing his face with his hands. "Aw l, babe."I said quietly. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. I kissed his chest lightly through his now black shirt and rested my head on his chest.
