How It Ends {l.h}

Chapter 7

Claire's POV
Grace was upstairs for an hour now. I heard them talk a bit and I heard Luke throw up.

"Claire?" Calum starts.

"Yeah?"

"I really like you a lot, I really do and I really want you to remember that. I know you're with Luke but I just needed to tell you that I really like you and I thought you did too, I'm sorry I'm such an idiot and now I'm blabbering and won't stop talking." Calum blabbered.

Every word he said made my heart beat faster and faster. Did I have feeling toward him? I remember reading something and it said that the first strong love you have to someone would never go. Is this something like that? The first time I met him, I was instantly attracted by everything. His smile, everything. The only problem was that we didn't talk to each other at all. I didn't know him at all and that was what I was scared of. I thought we were going to get closer but I decided to take a wrong way. No, it wasn't wrong. But did I like Luke? Did I actually like him? Or maybe it was because of the kiss we shared. Maybe how he looked. He was really caring but I did feel like he cared about Grace more. Maybe it's because of me. The reason why he's with Grace is because of me thinking about Calum.

"Claire?" I hear Luke's voice from upstairs.

I look up and my heart beats faster, myself not knowing what to do.

"Claire, I don't think we should be together. I liked the way we were when we were friends." He says and looks down.

"It's because of me isn't it? You knew how I still had feelings for Calum even after we were together. I'm sorry Luke. I didn't treat you right too. But I do agree with you. Maybe friends is much more better." I reply.

"Calum, I'm sorry you felt like I betrayed you." Luke said to Calum.

"How....." Calum says and Luke cuts him off.

"I eavesdrop. And I'm really sorry. I mean you and Claire are really meant for each other. Calum, you only talk about Claire and Claire, you only talk about Calum. It's me who barged in and I'm really sorry."

Luke and Grace came down and we all sat on the couch.

"Look Claire, I could totally see you were into Calum and liking him more then I but that's not the only reason I'm breaking up with you. I might've chosen you by the look of you, and that's really stupid. I was stupid too and I'm sorry. But now I'm not really into you anymore. Grace helped me so much and obviously cared so much. But I'm not blaming you for not knowing how to handle people who are sick. And I realized how I really like Grace. I care for her a lot. And I realized that I liked her from way before but I just never thought of it because she was my best friend." Luke says as we get comfy on the couch.

"Hey Luke it's fine. I'm sorry I was all with Calum but I think Grace realized but the second I met him I knew I was falling for him. I was just scared." I say and then realizing Calum was in the same goddam room.

I look over at Calum smiling.

I smile back awkwardly.

"Calum, do it." Grace says and nudges him.

There was an awkward silence but Calum speaks up.

"Claire, would you like to go on a date with me? This Friday?" Calum asked me.

My heart was about to blow up. I was smiling like an idiot.

"Yes." I say looking down and blushing.

Luke and Grace were both cheering from beside us.

"We still aren't a thing, remember that." Claire said.
