You're My Anchor // Calum Hood

Chapter 14

*Mio's POV*

Calum. The one man that could be my upside to everything. But now I needed to be his.

The boy slipped into the bed and pulled me close enough to where I could feel the outline of his clothes. Cally buried his head into my neck and water droplets fell onto me.

"Calum?" I whisper out into the dark room, turning over to face the boy.

"Did I wake you?" He responds with a slight voice crack.

"Not really. Are you crying?"

"No."

"Cally, it's okay to cry. I would be hurt if you didn't," I laugh with a fault in my voice.

"Are you going to cry?"

"Yes. You should cry with me."

He nods and I could see his tears twinkle in the moonlight.

"I don't want you to go."

I sniffled and stayed silent for a moment, "Why did you message me on Twitter in the first place?"

Calum smiles, "I thought you were the cutest fan we met that night. You were funny and just the way you acted had me smiling all night. I wanted to know you and look where we are now."

"At least we'll have memories to rely on, y'know? Hopefully heaven exists and I'll see you there," I pecked the boy's nose, "I'll always be with you. No matter what and I promise that. I don't care if I have to suck dick in hell to see you."

He chuckles, "You're so cute!"

"Cal, I just thought of something cute. You wanna hear it?"

The boy nods eagerly and I try not to giggle, "Babe, you're the Cal-cium in my bones. You lift me up and make me strong."

"Mio, you're the Mi-tochondria of my cells. You're my powerhouse and make me feel alive."

We convulsed into laughter and the whole bed shook.

"This is why we're together, Cally. We're each other's upside. Especially mine."

Calum began rubbing the small of my back, "You don't have a lot on you're bucket list, Mi."

"Those are just the major things. I had one more, but Daya was in the room."

"What was it?" Cal whispers, making sure no one else can hear.

"I want Daya and Luke to get married. They're perfect for each other and I see the way they look at each other and it's like us. Make sure they at least date. For me?" My eyes began to drift now.

"Anything for you, sweetheart." was the last thing I heard from Calum before I fell into a slumber.

•••

I yawned as went to shower. Cal was behind me until I stepped in the bathroom and went to make breakfast for me.

"Y'know it's like I have Alzheimer's and you have to take care of me," I spoke as I packed things into the suitcase.

"At least you remember me," Cal snorted.

He sat on my bed, watching me move.

"Close your eyes. I don't want you to see my wedding dress!" I giggled and he laid back with a hand over his eyes.

I put the black knee high dress into the luggage and closed it.

"All done!"

"Finally!"
