"Need help?" Cal asks leaning on the door frame, making me jump again.

"If you're here to mess with me, don't dare. I am too tired to deal with you." I sigh and rubbed at my freshly washed face.

"Well, I was trying to use the toilet, but here you are." Calum chuckles and stands up straight. "Here, I'll help you." He said softly pulling out the hairbrush out of my hand, and I am so sleepy to even go against his wishes. He brushes my hair carefully and with care. I closed my eyes and allow my breaths to even.

Cal finished and places the brush on the counter. He pick me up bridal style and walked to my room, again, without my refusal. He lays me down on my bed and brings my grey comforter up to my chin the way I like it.

"Go to sleep beautiful. I know you're tired." He softly smiles and steps back to shut the door.

I woke up to the ringing of my ears. That's the only bad thing about going to the race track constantly. Due to all the loud engines, your ears become sensitive. I went to work with Chase while everyone else prepared for the tour.

I called management and told them that I'll go on tour. They didn't mind which was a good thing because I didn't feel like arguing with anyone.

I got up to go to my bathroom to find my ear drops that will help the ringing stop. I turned on the blinding light of the bathroom and searched through the cabinets. The ear drops weren't there. Hissing at the pain the ringing is causing me, I dug through the mess of my bedside table drawers. Finding the small bottle, I hurriedly unscrewed the cap and squeezed two drops of liquid in each ears. Sighing in relief, I twist back on the cap and put it by my clock just in case.

I glanced at the red numbers on the clock and groaned at what time it was, 9 AM. Even though light brightened my room, I crawled back into bed. The figure beside me squirmed, making the bed dip.

"You okay?" Luke's voice came out in a croak. He's been sleeping in my room for the past couple of days. Luke leans his head on his hand and rests his elbow on the pillow. His blue eyes meet mine and I notice a small twinkle in them.

"Yeah. Sorry about waking you up."

"It's fine. We actually need to get up anyways." Luke smiles and he sits up all the way.

"No, more sleep." I bring the covers over my head and I hear Luke's raspy chuckle. "Shut up, you don't know what I just struggled with." I uncovered my face to face Luke, but tucked the blanket under my chin.

"I heard the struggle." Luke points out and chuckles once more.

"Well, too bad for you." I say sarcastically and buried my face into my pillow, desperately trying to go back to sleep.

"Wake uppp" Luke drags on and pokes my arm repeatedly. When I don't budge, he lays on top of me, making me groan out of breath.

"Get. Off. Of. Me." I said between breaths.

"I'm glad we could cuddle like this." Luke snuggles his head in my shoulder.

"Get off." I try to push him off, but he doesn't budge. "Please." I breathe out and he rolls off of me chuckling.

"What are the plans for today? Racetrack?" Luke asks and I shake my head, trying to get comfy on the bed again.

"Mark is bringing some cars over here for me to fix and then we can get ready for tour." I smile and bury my face in my pillow for the third time this morning.

"Wait, you're going on tour with us?!" He says excitedly and I could already imagine him bouncing off the walls.

"Yes." I mumble through the pillow and he tackles me in a hug, making me groan.

"I'm gonna go shower." Luke chuckles, getting off of me. I could feel the bed dip under me as he gets up.

"And I'm just going to take a power nap." I wave him off, not bothering to raise my head from the pillow.

"Don't sleep too long!" He exclaims before walking out of the room. I roll my eyes and let slumber take over me.

"My bed was cold without you." He turns on his back to make sure I see his smirk.

"Good, I'll never get into the same bed with you."

"You're in the same couch with me." I slightly squirm under his gaze.

"This is different, Sherlock." I can tell Calum knows he is getting under my skin and it is aggrevating. I never let him get to me but every time I think of last night, I become distracted and allow him to go far into the insults.

"How so?"  He stares at the ceiling as I turn to face the way he's laying.

"Look, I need to study, so can you just go somewhere else or at least be quiet?" I lean down to try to look into his eyes to tell him I'm being serious.

"It's all your--" He bends his neck and is taken aback at how close my face is to his own. I notice his eyes move up and down between my eyes and lips, and I tilt my head in confusion.

Calum started to lean in making the space between our faces even closer. I catch myself leaning in, too, and cannot find anything in me to stop myself. Our lips were about to touch right when Madi walks in.

That was the second dream today. I never have two different ones in one day before. It usually is just the same dream. I sit up and lean on both of my hands.

"Hey. You okay?" Calum walks in cautiously and sits on my bed. Great, just the person I want to see. Note the sarcasm.

"Yeah. What's up?" I get off the bed and sit on my desk chair to switch my leg brace.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." He says softly like I was about to kill him.

"Go on," I lean forward, interested in what he has to say.

"I wanted to talk to you about your memories of me."
