Cigarettes // cake // Sequel of Mute

{Luke}
I walk home and the cool air lightly stabs at my exposed skin. If Calum were here, he would give me his coat. Wait, we're in a fight, he would walk ahead. I enter the house.

"Calum?" I shout and place the keys on the counter next to a note.

I read the note and frown. Where did he go? Hopefully not to another party. I grab my phone and click on his number. It begins to ring and I hear buzzing from our bedroom. I walk in and see Calum had left his phone on the desk. Worry strikes my chest and I begin to panic. Should I ask someone to help? Maybe I should just wait.

Michael [9.40pm]
Harry left!! TV TO MYSELF!!

My eyes widen in realization. Harry must've brought Calum to a party. I grab my keys and run towards the door. Just as I'm about to grab the door handle, I notice how much I hate parties. I remember what they were like back then. I shudder and place the keys back on the desk, he'll turn up soon.

{Calum}
I enter the party with Harry and he instantly runs to the drinks and leaves me alone. I look around for anyone I recognize, but all I see is Harry. He's with some guy with blue hair. I don't know if I should go talk to them or not. I shake my head and just sit in the corner and pull out my cigarettes.

Soon Harry walks over and hands me a cup. I frown and smell it only to have the strong stinging smell fill my nose. I breathe out my smoke.

"Is this..?"

"Vodka? Yup." Harry grins and sits down in front of me.

I really don't know if I should be doing this. Luke and I were in a fight earlier and we still need to talk about it. I don't want to get him any more mad.

"Go on." Harry says.

"I-I don't know.." I say and he frowns.

"Come on Calum, your first party in university. Feel proud, have a drink." He says and I sigh and take a sip. The stingingly sweet taste erupts in my mouth and trickles down my throat causing for me to groan. Harry chuckles.

"The pain is amazing isn't it?" He says and I shake my head.

"I have to go Harry. I really do." I say standing up and Harry grabs my wrist.

"Don't leave me Calum." He says through gritted teeth and I'm freaked out.

"I've got a relationship to fix, okay?" I say and Harry angrily clenches his jaw.

"That better be ours." He continues to say through gritted teeth.

"I-I'm sorry but we're already done." I say and Harry bites his lip and slowly stands up and over me. I gulp and he pushes me against a wall.

"H-Harry we've already agreed to stop this." I try stand up for myself but he presses his lips against mine.

I attempt to push him off but he doesn't budge. His tongue forcefully slides into my mouth and it feels sloppy and gross. I turn my head to the side and Harry begins to kiss my neck.

"Harry!" I hear and see the guy with blue hair walking up to him.

"What the fuck do you want Alex?" Harry growls as he gets off me

"Can you not see that that guy doesn't want to make out with you?" Alex asks.

"Leave it Alex." Harry says through gritted teeth.

"No I won't. Come here." Alex says and takes my wrist and pulls me away from Harry.

"Th-Thank you so much." I say and Alex shakes his head.

"It was nothing. I'm Alex." He smiles.

"I'm Calum." I say and Alex nods.

"Well.. I overheard you had a falling out with your relationship. Did you cheat on your girl?" He asks and I shake my head.

"First, it's not a girl. Second, I didn't cheat. We were just fighting because..." I can't even remember why we fought.

"I-It doesn't matter." I say and Alex shrugs.

"Alright well.. If you ever need help, I'm here." Alex says and I thank him before running out of the party.

I clear my mouth with a mint. That usually does the trick. I begin to walk home and it's freezing. It's summer now and everyone's beginning to wear sweaters and stuff. It's amazing. I can't wait for Christmas though. I feel goosebumps run up my arm and I go into the house.

"Luke? You home?" I ask.

"In the bedroom." He calls and I feel relieved. I enter the bedroom and he's watching a movie on his laptop.

I pull my jacket off and go up to him and hug him tightly.

"Uh.. You okay?" Luke asks as he returns my hug.

"I love you. I love love love you. I'm never ever going to leave you Luke." I say and Luke is plain confused.

"I love you too baby.. Are you alright?" He asks as I sit on his lap and he pauses the movie.

"I'm so sorry for lying. I'm sorry for every stupid thing I have ever done. Please don't leave me." I say and Luke shakes his head.

"What makes you think I'll leave you?" He asks.

"I-I don't know just... Can we go to sleep now?" I ask.

"Sure honey.." Luke says and I tug off all my clothes until I'm left with my boxers and Luke pulls on sweatpants.

I lay face up with Luke at my side with his arm around my waist. He rests his head on my shoulder and kisses my cheek.

"I'll never ever leave you Calum." He whispers and I wrap an arm around his neck and pull him closer.

"I'll never leave you either." I say.

But I'm sure once Luke finds out I smoke, he'll definitely leave me though.

Definitely.
