CALUM's POV

"Luke your such a tease" I laugh keeping my eyes on the dark road. Right now were returning from our date that was almost the best night of my life.

"I know. It's what I do best" luke smiles hugging my waist. I kiss his forehead before he pulls away. I look up and see white blinding my view. Suddenly I feel my head hit the steering wheel and everything go black.

***

I flicker my eyes open and see a blinding white light. My vision adjusts and I see my self in a hospital room. I feel a gauge wrapped around my forehead and wires connected to my body.

"What happened?" I mutter to myself.

"Let me see him!!!" A voice shouts. Suddenly a red eyed and tear stained faced Ashton run next to me.

"Oh Calum I'm so glad your okay" he cries hugging me.

"What are you talking about?"

"You don't remember do you?" His emotion drops.

I shake my head.

"Well....you and Luke were involved in a car crash. You got it lucky but Luke......he's not doing so well" he chokes back on tears.

"What? What happened?" I ask worriedly.

"I don't know exactly. Michael's in his room checking on him. Your mum and sister are waiting outside to check in on you"

Suddenly a doctor walks in. "Ahh your awake." He smiles.

"Hey doc. Is he gonna be okay?" Ashton sniffles.

"He just lost a little blood but he'll be fine." The doctor reassures us.

"Thank god" Ashton mumbles. "When is he able to get out?"

"Actually if he feels fine, he can be realised today. He can just collect his stuff and go" the doctor nods checking his clipboard.

"Thank you doctor" Ashton smiles half heartedly.

"It is my job"

"Oh my baby" my mum tears up hugging me tightly. "Are you okay?" She asks pulling away.

"Yea I'm fine" I slightly smile. I look to the side and see Mali passed out on a chair. I laugh quietly at her before I see Michael walking towards me. He hugs me tightly without warning.

"Your okay." He smiles widely. I nod. "Can I see Luke?" I ask quickly.

"Yea yea sure" he says stepping to the side allowing me to walk past him but he follows me.

"I'm not letting you go alone" he says. I smile at him.

We enter the room and I see Luke's body connected to wires. He looks pale. Almost.....lifeless. I feel a tear fall down my cheek as I walk up to him.

"Oh Luke" I cry cupping his face. I look at Michael signalling I want to be alone. He nods and exits the room.

"This is all my fault." I start sobbing quietly.

LUKE's POV

I struggle to open my eyes. I decide to move my hand but I can't either. Fuck. I hear the door open and someone's presence next to Me. I feel someone's warm hand cup my cheek.

"Oh Luke" I hear his angelic voice crack. Again, I hear the door open and close.

"This is all my fault" he sobs. Wake up! This isn't his fault.

"Hello Mr. Hood?" Someone says walking into room.

No response so I'm guessing Calum nodded.

"How is he doing?" Cal says faintly.

"I'm sorry. But Luke is in a coma"

CALUM's POV

"No" I cry, my voice barley above a whisper. "No no no This can't be" I cry more.

"I'm sorry" the doctor places his hand on my shoulder. I hold Luke's hand and cry a river. "I-i-i- I can't believe this"

"This is all my fault. You would've been safe if you had never met me. I- I'm sorry Luke. Please stay alive. I need you" I kiss his cold lips and cry harder.

LUKE's POV

I need you too Calum. I can't move. I can't do anything. God. I want to feel his warmth. I want to feel his kisses. I want to feel his lips on mine. I want to feel alive. I'm tired of keeping my walls up. Especially around Calum. I want to love Calum as much as he loves me. I already do but I haven't expressed it.

Yet.

I need to stay alive. For Calum. For Ashton. For Michael. They are my family. Their the people I love. I can't die. I can't do that to them after all what they've done for me.

I try moving any part of my body but still nothing. I want to scream. I can't be like this.

CALUM's POV

"It should've been me." I sob.

"Mr. Hood I'm sorry but you need to leave" the doctor says as a few nurses walk in.

"Oh um yea" I wipe away my tears. I stand up and walk out of the room.

"Calum what's wrong?" Mali, mikey and ash say in sync waking up to me.

"L-L-L- Luke's in a coma. I don't know how I'll live without him." I break down into Michaels arms.

"Calum" Mali sighs placing a hand on my shoulder. "He's strong. He'll make it" she gives me half a smile.

• Next Day At Hospital •

"Any news?" I ask as the doctor walks in again.

"Yes. But I'm afraid it's bad" he presses his lips together.

"Just tell me it" I sigh.

"Luke only has a 10% chance to live. It's up to him to change that" the doctor sighs heavily.

My eyes trickle with tears as in cover my mouth with my hand.

"You hear that Luke?" I whisper leaning close to his ear. "It's up to you to change that" a single tear falls down my cheek and hits his.

"Thank you." I nod slightly walking out of the room.

"Calum are you okay?" Ashton asks.

"I think I just need some time alone" I flash a fake smile.

"Alright but be aware of your phone if anything happens" he says. I nod and walk out of the hospital. I walk towards the house until I hear something.

You fucking cunt.

You got Luke killed.

You killed him.

You got him in that car crash.

You got him in the hospital.

You got him in a coma.

And soon,

You'll put him in coffin.

Tears stream down my face knowing that the voices screaming in my head are correct. I run in the house and into the bathroom. I open the mirror cabinet and see it.
