THREE DAYS BEFORE:

Emilees POV:

I woke up with a shudder, it was still dark outside so it must be late. My pillow and where I was laying was wet with sweat and my hair was stuck to my forehead and was stuck across my face. I untangle my body from Luke's arms and stood up. Everyone else's snores filled the room. I tip toed through the room without trying to step on anyone, my legs were stiff so I had a bit of a limp, but I didn't step on anyone's face so it's all good.

Suddenly I hear shuffling behind me, I turn around to see Calum moving around a bit but then he settles down and falls asleep again. I wipe the sweat off my forehead then as quietly as I could shut the door behind me. I creeped down the hallway and went downstairs into the kitchen. I checked the time to see that it was half four in the morning, it switched the floor lights on because they aren't to bright. I grabbed a glass of water and checked the time to see it was 4:45am, why they hell did I wake up so early.

I decide to pass the time by watching some TV. I head over into the living room and sink down onto the couch, I flicked on the TV and the shopping channel came on, MY FAVOURITE! Not. Ten minutes into the programme I feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier and I finally feel I could be able to fall asleep.

But I'm interrupted by a husky voice coming from behind me.

"Emilee? What are you doing at nearly five in the morning?" The voice said. I jumped up to be met with deep brown eyes, it's Calum.

"I...uh...um, my head hurt" I said suddenly remembering my doctors appointment during the road trip. The doctors words came flooding back into my head. I felt the hot tears prick at my eyes. I suddenly just let loose and let all the tears fall. I fell to my knees and held my face in my hands. I hear foot steps run towards me. And suddenly I'm picked up bridal style, I find myself crying into Calum's chest.

He puts me down and holds me tight to his chest, he buries his face in the crook of my neck and I think he's crying to. He rocks me back and forth. He then looks down at me and places both hands on the side of my face and I get a bit nervous.

"I'm not going to kiss you don't worry" he whispers and then pecks my forehead.

"Thank you Calum" I say. Suddenly a loud voice comes from behind us.

"DID YOU JUST KISS?!" Luke shouts, me and Calum break apart immediately and stare at the raging Luke stood in the doorway.

"No Luke what the hell?!" I scream.

"Yeah right I just saw you with my own eyes!" He screams back in our faces.

"Luke I was comforting her!" Calum shouts, stepping in front of me, I could feel the rage evaporating off the both of them.

"Yeah by kissing her!" He screams.

"No Luke stop, your being stupid we didn't kiss I promise!" I get in the middle of both of them.

"Yeah right you enjoyed it!" He said, I edged closer to him, I felt Calum's hand wrap around my wrist, I stared up in Luke's eyes with rage in my eyes, I could almost feel the anger of fire burning inside of me. He thought of me as a cheat, how could he?

"Your a lying cheat Emilee" He added, I felt the power I had just a second ago fade away, I didn't feel the rage inside my eyes, I felt sadness and loneliness. My heart didn't feel like fire of anger, it felt like a big block of cold unwanted ice.

Suddenly Calum takes Luke's arm and begins dragging him toward the door.nHe flings the door open and pushes him out onto the porch, Luke stumbles a bit but manages to regain his balance.

"Think about what you just said and what you saw then come back but until then, don't bother talking to anyone out of us Luke, think about what you have become because your not the Luke I used to know" Calum says angrily through gritted teeth then slams the door shut.

I watch as Luke walks down the street, he stops and holds his hand over his mouth, I watch as a tear rolls down his cheek but then he carries on walking. I collapsed to the floor yet again. Tears flooded out, suddenly everyone is stood round me.

"You guys honestly don't believe we kissed do you?" I asked.

"Of course not Em, we watched the whole damn thing all he did was hug you when you were talking about your head" Ashton said soothingly. A wash if relief swam through my body. I stood up and my head felt dizzy. I nearly lost my balance but Calum caught me.

"Maybe you should rest babe" Cal said I nodded, Calum wracked n arm round my waist and lifted my arm up so it was round his shoulders, he then began to start helping me up the stairs. I needed rest, Luke has put me through to much, I don't know how long it's going to be before I can't cope anymore.

--

My eyes fluttered open but then quickly squint shut as the beaming sunlight shone through the glass balcony doors. I sat up and leant against the headboard, no one was in here however everyone's beds had been made, I didn't feel anyone next to me, I rubbed my forehead as I remember the events happening early this morning, me waking up at like guarded to five going downstairs and my head hurting, Calum comforting me, Luke thinking we kissed, arguing with Luke, Luke leaving.

It all flooded back. I decide to just get up and shower. My head wasn't hurting anymore now that I rested so I was free from that at the moment. I headed into the bathroom and took off my loose shorts and band tee. I then took my hair out my messy ponytail and stepped into the shower.

As I stepped in and let the hot jets hit my skin I felt all my problems wash away for a moment and it honestly.p felt so nice and relaxing, I was my body and hair and face then step out a wrap a blue fuzzy towel round me. I blow dry my hair and then straighten it so it doesn't get frizzy.

Once I'm done I step out the bathroom and head over to my wardrobe.I pull on on some grey tight Nike sweatpants, a loose white vest top and my grey ramones sweater, and the just some white fluffy socks with blue clouds on them because why not? I turn around to see Calum leaning against the door frame wearing black tight sweat pants a nirvana sweatshirt and a grey beanie with his vans on.

"Listen Emilee what happened last night k just want you to forget, Luke was being an idiot nothing happened between us, we know that and so does everyone else" He said calmly smiling. I smile back. He holds out his arms. I walk over to him and wrap my arms round his waist.

After about five minutes we head downstairs to go get some breakfast. Everyone greets us and hugs us and Troye offers us a plate of waffles each, we gladly accept and began eating.

During the afternoon we all just sat around and watched Netflix and played Xbox all day and age food and ordered pizza, it was a very chilled day to be how at and my he assist hurt at all, all day which made me feel even better. I suddenly felt my phone buzz in my pocket making me jump slightly. I pull it out to see I have a text from Liz.

From Liz:
Hey hun, Luke is round mine. He explained what happened and said he feels utterly terrible for what he did, he told me he didn't think you kissed after all and that he must of been half asleep, he said he doesn't know when he will be home but he says he's very sorry and that he loves you loads, love you Hun x x

I reply saying thank you and that I forgive him, but I was upset that he didn't vows to me and apologise him self, well he might when he comes home. He really upset me last night, he thought I was a cheat and that hurt me, like a lot, we only had a fight like the night before and then he decided to create another one why? I have no idea. I decide to just lock my phone and carry on watching Netflix with everyone else. I couldn't be bothered with drama right now.
