Bad Romance

Never Too Late

Michael and I walked into the room, leaving behind the sorrow in the hallway. Michael holding my hand pretending he was everything was fine. Luke and Dave were waiting for us so we all could go to the room. I seen everybody even some fan's. Real band's save fan's, Real fan's save band's. Michael got hugged by Liz. He tried to hold back the tear's but they just fell out anyway's and I felt mine falling too. One fan went up to Michael and gave him and Stay Strong bracelet, he just started crying hugging the fan.

" Thank..th..you"

Dave started pulling us through the crowed room to Cal's hospital room. Joy came outside and hugged Michael, Ashton and Luke hovering over Calum's bed. I got hugged by Joy too. Michael grabbed my hand tighter than he was holding it coming into the lobby area. He looked inside the room and seen Calum laying in bed, hooked up to everything but life support. Thank god.

" Michael it's alright, he's breathing better then in the ambulance"

My face seemed to form somewhat of a smile due to the fact he was actually breathing good now. Maybe it was Never too late for miracles to happen, it just takes time.

Luke's P.O.V

I am so hoping and praying to the lord's or any higher power, Calum please wake up. I made a promise to Michael and I don't want that promise to be broken. I know you'r in there, I know you can hear me. I know you'll wake up, I have so much faith in you. Your my best friend and I love you to death, please don't let this be the end.

Michael looked over at my all smile's face. His eye's moving all around, to the lobby, to the room, to Luke and Ash. Wondering for a minute if he could wake up from this awful nightmare and start over. Tell calum he was perfect, his mind was the same as everybody's else... but it wasn't, he lived with a fear for far to long. From his childhood to his adult life for his whole life. Opening up to these thing's are hard, some people don't want to be dealing with another person living inside a person you think you know. Michael started baby stepping into the room. I would never let go of his hand, he needed all the attention he could grab to get through this. He needed to know that me, Ash and Luke were here for him. I walked with him, no taking any control, he looked at me speechless. Luke looked at him with sad but warm eye's while Ash was holding onto Cal's shoulder. Michael took me pretty far actually, all the way to standing in front of Cal's bed.

" Is he cold?"

" Michael he's warm, the same warm Calum you know, just not awake"

Michael put his hand down on Cal's shoulder, the one single tear fell from his eye onto Calum's shoulder. His breathing getting heavier. He let go of my hand and dropped down to his knee's, both hand's on Cal's chest.

" Please... ju...just wake up"

Luke ran over to Michael in fear that he wouldn't be able to take it. Fearing it was too much for Michael to see Calum so dead but still alive. The doctor told Ash that he might be knocked out for a couple of day's due to the knock out he took to the head. Basically A coma more like it, just in a nicer way to state it.

" Michael he need's to rest... the doctor said this room is private so we can stay in here all night... just let me know if you want to go"

" No Luke I really don't want to go.. I just... it's hard"

Ash looked over to me, no one asked if I was fine through tackling Michael and Luke's feeling's, I was just feeling lonely. It wasn't good enough, I left behind a man that loved me for another man that I liked.. that I have grown to love. Luke obviously liked me too, maybe has even grown to love me too. It was all wrong, my fault not Michael's nor Luke's. Mine, it was all me. How could I live with myself any given day.

" Gracie are you alright, are you okay?"

I looked up at Ashton and started bawling my eye's out, I didn't know what to say I just knew I had to be strong enough for Michael and Luke, what about Ash is he alright?? Ashton got up before I fell into his arm's, crying for what seemed like decades but it was only minute's. I heard a bell, like a sounding alarm.

" Luke what is that... is.. he dying..?"

" No Michael that's the bell stating it's time for visitor's to leave... but we can stay so would you like to stay with me and Ash, Gracie, Michael?"

" Of course. I can't not leave Cal again"
