Sorry for not updating! I dropped my phone and basically shattered the whole screen(LIKE, GUYS, I CANT EVEN TAKE SELFIES ANYMORE) And things are complicated in school and my phone's stupid and I've been so busy! But here talking go...
Luke's POV
"I can go home?!" Bella beamed, jumping off the bed. Her IV had been taken out while she was asleep and the hospital, after this week, decided to let her go.
Calum helped Bella steady herself, while laughing at her. Michael grabbed her phone and other stuff and I threw her clothes to her.
"Thanks," She smiled, shuffling off to the bathroom.
As soon as she turned around our smiles turned into frowns.
"I'm not mad at Ashton," Michael defended, "I mean, he's acting stupid right now, but I'm not staying at Bella's with you guys, I'm going to our house to stay in my own room."
Calum rolled his eyes, "I'm not going there, I want to show Bella that we're here for her. Ashton's really being an asshole, his heads to far up Casey's ass to see that. Im afraid, for him, that his relationship with Bella will be far gone before he realizes."
My teeth played with my lip ring for a minute, "I dunno. Lets just no talk about Ash for a while, okay?"
"Okay, how about we talk about you and Bella. Are you guys never going to be a thing again? Are you going to ask her-"
"Let's go home!" Bella cheered happily, unintentionally cutting Michael off. We all plastered smiles on our faces and followed Bella out.
I started my car, glancing at Bella through the review mirror. She looked out the window, seemingly thinking a bit to hard. Calum turned on the radio from the passenger seat.
I started off to Bella's house, nervously glancing around for an unspoken reason.
"Luke, we're dropping Michael off," Calum reminded, seeing I was headed toward's Bella's place.
"Sorry," I mumbled, taking a sharp u-turn-everyone yelled at me for that. We pulled up at our house, Michael giving Bella a quick hug before hopping out of the car and running inside.
"Ready to go home, Bella?" Calum asked excitedly.
"No!" She cheered, mimicking Cal's excitement. We both cocked our heads to the side in confusion. "To target! We're having a slumber party and those call for supplies...and I need some pads, ya know, girly problems."
***
"Ugh," Calum and I groaned, once we finished lugging the groceries into the house. Bella told us to stop complaining and help put things away, so we did...well we helped, but we still complained.
"I'm tired," Cal whined, flopping down on the couch. Bell simply rolled her eyes and hit him with a pillow.
"Luke, I need help! Go upstairs and grab A LOT of blankets and pillows with me," I nodded and headed towards the stairs, but she stopped me to jump on my back, "Now go!"
I laughed and trudged up the stairs with Bella on my back. We grabbed a bunch of blankets and pillows before tripping back down the stairs and organizing them in the living room.
We made popcorn, watched Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles, ate chips and ice cream, then we all crashed and fell asleep.
I woke up at midnight to Calum cuddling me.
"Dude," I groaned, pushing him off me. I sat up, jumping when i saw lightening out the window.
Thunder sounded, that's when Bella woke up. She rubbed her eyes, looking around the dark room. Lightening lit up her face through the window every time it went off.
"Shit! The window's open!" She squealed, popping up and running like a small mouse. She slammed the window shut before pressing her face against the cold glass.
She turned around, walking back over to me. "I hate thunder and lightening."
Crash.
Bella let out a stifled scream, falling into the floor next to me. I rolled my eyes, laughing at her.
Leave it to Calum to sleep through this, but honestly, I didn't mind.
I grabbed Bella's waist, dragging her back towards me so she was sitting at my side. "You're scared of the dark too."i reminded, poking her freckled nose. She lightly swatted my hand away, so I brought it back down to her waist.
"I am not." Bella defended, her lips formed into a pout.
I looked away, laughing softly. "That's why there's a nightlight in your room."
"I get up in the middle of the night and can't find the door! It's scary being alone in my own apartment."
I nodded, "I'm sure. I really miss you at home, it's weird without you."
She shrugged, "I was kind of rushed out of there. You guys dealt without me being there for two years anyways, I'm sure your fine."
Bella leaned her head onto my shoulder, a yawn escaping her lips but she quickly said she wasn't tired. I wrapped my arm around her body so our bodies kind of molded together perfect and my head leaning on hers.
"I missed you those two years, you know. I miss you now...i even miss you at this moment and I don't get why because we couldn't physically be any closer to each other then we are" I sighed, leaving my arm around her while the other rested on her thigh.
"I'm right here." She sighed.
"I know, but something's missing."
"I know."
We sat in silence. The only sounds were Calum's heavy breathing, the rain pelting roughly against the windows, and the thunder every few minutes.
For some reason, although I hated it, I got the urge to cry. Just to break down in tears, there was a reason, but I couldn't pin it down. I pulled away from Bella, causing her to let out a small whine as she adjust her sitting position.
"I'll be right back," I mumbled, standing up and walking to the bathroom.
I went to the bathroom, trying to collect myself for a minute. When I walked back downstairs I saw the TV was now on in the living room, it played on mute.
"Seriously? You can't even hear-oh, it's because it was dark...wasn't it?" I teased, falling onto the floor by Bell.
"Shut up," She turned around, grabbing a pillow from the couch and smacking me with it before cuddling the small cushion in her arms.
"You're so cute," I cooed, pinching her cheek. If it wasn't dark, I would've been able to see her blush.
She buried her face into the pillow allowing her long, dark hair to fall around her.
"Tired?" I asked, lifting her head from the pillow.
"A little, but I don't want to sleep. Can I just lay with you for a while?"
I didn't fight the smile that spread into my face. "of course."
I slid down so I was laying and Bella laid next to me, allowing my arm to wrap around her waist and pull her back to my stomach.
I rested my chin on her shoulder, leaving a small kiss on her cheek.
"I miss us." She whispered, holding my hand that laid in front of her stomach.
"I miss us to..."
We didn't say anymore, but I don't think Bella slept good because I know I didn't.
Us just didn't sound like it would work anymore, I was unsure why because that's all I wanted, but things were just to complicated and it didn't feel right...but maybe it didn't feel wrong either.
So confusing.
