Loverboy || Malum

Chapter Thirteen

the next day

C A L U M ' S P O V 

My head spun and I felt sick. Last night's conversation never left my head. All I could think about was Michael and Luke. Michael and Luke cuddling, kissing, making out, getting touchy. I felt sick to my stomach at the thought of them being together and doing all the things I longed to do with Michael. Instead, it was Luke who was able to do everything I wished I could. I wondered why Michael had said yes to Luke and I wondered if I asked Michael first would he have said yes to me. 

Walking up to the blond I called my best friend, I pushed him against his locker. He looked at me. His eyes were wide open and he sucked in a breath. Confusion was plastered on his face as to who would push him against the lockers and why would someone push him against the lockers. A gasp emited his lips when his confused eyes met mine. I most likely looked red and like Satan himself, but I could care less. It felt like a fire was burning inside of me and I was dying to let it out. "You knew I liked Michael, why would you ask him out?!" I whisper-yelled. I wanted to punch Luke for asking Michael out but it would only lead to more conflict. If I was violent, it would lessen my chances with Michael. Who would want to go out with the guy who that beat up their date? No one.

His features changed. He no longer looked confused or shocked. He looked at me for a minute blankly, not answering my question. He raised his eyebrow and shook his head in disbelief. "Calum, has it not occured to you that I may like him as well?" He asked in a rude tone. Shock filled me. Maybe I hadn't thought about how Luke felt towards him, or towards anyone, really. I spent too much time thinking about myself, about how I felt towards Michael and Michael to think about anything or anyone else.

"You, you like Michael?" I asked. I wanted to sound mad, and annoyed, but it only came out as shock. I felt the blond haired boy slightly tense. He nodded, yes. I looked at Luke and it was the first time since I pushed him against the locker that I'd had a proper look at him. His eyes showed pain and his face showed guilt. His lips were in a small frown, his shoulders were pulled up slightly. His chest rose quickly and his breath was loud, and fast. He looked everywhere but at me.

I let go of the boy. I didn't know how to react. I never thought of Luke liking Michael. I wanted to be calm to him, but I felt a mixture of sad and annoyed. He didn't get to choose who he liked, and I learnt that the same way he did. I didn't see why I was so mad, he was just asked the guy he liked but it annoyed me so so so much because it's the same guy who I liked. I didn't like the thought of anyone else with Michael. I didn't like the thought of anyone taking advantage over him. Michael was still innocent and so niave. He was special and had features about him that not everyone may like, but I loved so much.

"If you hurt Michael in any way or form, Luke," I threatened. My voice showed pain, but I tried hard to keep it stable. I lifted my head up, looking him in the eye. I could still feel the fire in my stomach, burning. Luke's eyes widened a bit and from the lack of rising and falling of his stomach, it was clear he was holding his breath. "I will make sure to make your life a living hell. Is that clear?" I asked. "Go, and make him happy. And he can't know about this talk, okay?"

"Don't worry," Luke said. He patted my shoulder and walked towards the direction of Michael's locker. I swore underneath my breath and walked the opposite direction, shaking slightly. I looked at my watch to see the time was only 7:55 am. I decided I had enough of school today and walked towards the main entrance of the school, existing. I wanted nothing more than to sleep this off seeing this was the second time in less than 12 hour I let Michael go.
