I was tossing and turning once again. The images of the one night burning in my brain. I didnt want to close my eyes. I knew once i did, i would pass out then wake up screaming and crying.

It's ok, everyones ok. I told myself every night. But they just came haunting back.

Over and over and over and over...

"Hey." Calum murmured walking in the kitchen in only plaid pajamas to get some coffee. I was used to him being shirtless, after all he was my best friend and we lived together cause we went to the same college.

"Hey Cal." I smiled tiredly while ruffling his messy hair.

"Sleep well?" he glanced at me while the coffee maker came to life as he pressed the button.

I nodded trying to hide the bags under my eyes, obviously lieing.

"That's nice." he chuckled plopping down beside me with his coffee as I munched on some Cheerios.

"Thank god it's Saturday." I sighed.

"I have loads of Calculus school work." he moaned taking sip of his coffee then hissing as it burned his tongue.

"It's ok I'll help you." I smiled lightly while patting his bare shoulder.

His smiled while giving me a side hug then standing to put his empty mug in the sink.

"Whelp Im gonna go out wanna come?"

"You have homework smart one." I chuckled putting my empty bowl in the dishwasher.

"Let's go explore Chicago we haven't been out in forever."

"For your information there's this thing called school." I sighed thinking about my English homework.

"And there's also this thing called a life where you have weekends to go explore Chicago with your best asian looking friend named Calum."

I chuckled at his choice of words.

"Im to tired." I pouted.

"You can sleep in the car now come on it's a 45 minute ride."

I sighed, "Kay lets go."

Rumning back into my room i slid into some skinny jeans and a long sweater. It was autumn and it was starting to get chilly. I threw on my combat boots and my cream colored beanie while i waited for Calum.

He ran out wearing similar clothes except a black beanie and a black jacket-like sweatshirt.

He frowned taking in my appearence. My cheeks heated up, did I look bad without makeup?

"Maddie go comb your hair."

I pouted as I pulled my beanie down.

"Please?" he murmured batting his eyelashes at me.

I sighed running back in and quickly brushing my long lilac hair then running out. He smiled as we linked arms then sped out the door.

"Oh my god it's freezing." I uttered as the cold wind smacked my face.

"Oh by the way! Mum called." he smiled as we ran opposite ways to the car.

"Oh what did she say?" I questioned while closing the car door.

"She said she can't wait to have us back for Thanksgiving break. I miss the Australian air anyway."

"Yeah same." I chuckled.
