Liberty:

I was sat on the sofa with my head on Calum shoulder. He wanted to stay for a week because of me.. I told him how much I'd be fine but he just wouldn't let it go.. He's missing 2 shows and I feel so bad.

He was playing his guitar and it was so soft. I felt calm and safe when I was with Calum..

He started to hum with the tune.

"What song is that?" I asked,poking at his arm.

"Oh it's...a song I was working on." He stopped playing and looked at me.

"Can.. I hear it?" I smiled,sitting on his lap.

He coughed and placed his fingers on the cords of the guitar. His guitar had stickers and marks on it. I signed it a while ago with my scruffy signature. It had a little heart on the end.

"Six weeks since I've been away
And now you're sayin' everything has changed
And I'm afraid that I might be losing you
And every night that we spend alone
It kills me thinking of you on your own
And I wish I was back home next to you

Oh, everyday
You feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say" he took a breath after singing. I looked up at him,his eyes closed,his head lifting up at the high bits, his little lisp. his...everything.

"Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers" his head bopping along to the tune. He looked at me and smiled. I listened so carefully at the lyrics. He wrote this...

"Late night calls and another text
Is this as good as we're gonna get?
Another timezone taking me away from you
Living dreams in fluorescent lights
While you and I are running out of time
But you know that I'll always wait for you

Oh, everyday
You feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say" he stopped playing.

"Sorry.." He wiped his eyes.

"Calum...are you crying?" I took his hand away from his face.

"No...I'm okay" he shook his head.

"Play it." I smiled.

He looked up at me and played the guitar but didn't sing.

"Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers" I sung my heart out for him. He's never heard me sing before.. It was kinda embarrassing.

He stopped playing and looked down at me.

"That was beautiful.." A tear rolled down his cheek again.

His chocolate brown eyes,full of tears.

I kissed his nose,it was really cold.

I looked at him and wiped his tears with my thumb from his cheeks.

"I'm sorry,I'm being stupid" he shook his head.

"It's okay to cry.." I smiled at him.

He smiled back.

"It just...felt like we was close as strangers" he stroked my cheek with his thumb.

"I know." I placed my forehead on his.

I could feel his breath on mine. He smiled then giggled. His warm breath spreading on my face.

"Are you going to kiss me?" He squeaked.

I burst out in laughter,holding my belly.

I looked at him,he was hiding his face behind his big hands. I put my hand on his. Mine was tiny compared to his. He took his hands away and looked at me.

"The song was about you..." He shyly said.

"I know" I whispered in his ear and smiled.

"I hate you" he smiled at me,looking at my lips.

"I hate you more" I bit my lip.

He lent in and kissed me softly on the lips.
