Twenty: Part Two

We reached 20k!

"I've missed you".

How is he standing in front of me right now. How is Calum freaking Hood in my presence at this exact moment.

"How are you here, you're supposed to be in Australia" I looked annoyingly at the boy with permanent puppy dog eyes.

"Well I was, for like a week. Then I came back and crashed at Michaels place" he shrugged as if he hadn't just told my boyfriend that he loved me.

I rolled my eyes "So you were gonna ruin my relationship then pretend you lived in Australia for the rest of your life?".

"No" he shook his head "I was gonna ruin your relationship then give it another month before I came back".

"So you admit to ruining my relationship? On purpose!" My voice grew higher, I was now filled with anger.

Why would he do that? I thought he didn't care about me that he just wanted to stay as step siblings.

"Yeah because I lo-"

I held a finger up "I swear to god of you say you love me I'll kill myself".

"I love you Delilah".

One aggravated sigh later and my ranting had begun "No you don't! You don't love me Calum. There's a difference between love and lust, I don't know why you felt the need to ruin my relationship with Luke but it wasn't because you love me. Luke loves me, I know he'll never hurt me he's promised me that before I even thought about pursuing him. That's the difference between you and him, he loves me you just- you just want me".

I held back tears, I loved the guy standing in front of me but I had a better guy at home. One who would never hurt me, and I had to make sure I do the same.

"I have to go" I pushed past Calum beginning to go the direction I came.

He got a hold of my wrist, stopping me to take another step further away from him. I looked back, his eyes now blood shot.

"Do you love me at all Delilah?".

I searched his eyes, feeling guilty for leaving him like this. "I did Calum" I sighed and slipped out of his now loosened grip.

Lukes pov

"You gotta get out of here" I shook my head pushing the shoulders of the blonde so she'll get away from me.

"But Lukey" she whined pursuing her lips and looking innocently at me.

"No I can't do this" I sighed "I can't cheat on Delilah".

She rolled her eyes "I'm pretty sure kissing another girl is still considered cheating".

"Even if it was just a little peck" she smirked.

I sighed once again and let go of her shoulders, she was right. I already kissed her, well more like made out with her. That's already cheating, but Delilah would understand right?. Maybe I could explain that I didn't want to go any further because I felt bad and loved her so I ended it. Then she'd forgive me, hopefully.

"So" Chelsea rested her hands on my thigh immediately causing me to push it off. Only to have her replace it with a tighter hold.

"Are you down or what?".

"Luke?".

I looked wide eyed at the figure in the door way, I knew I should be mad that him right now but I was more worried about him telling me off to Delilah.

"W- what are you doing here?" I stood to my feet having Chelsea fall backwards onto the bed.

"I could ask Chelsea the same question" he slowly replied looking over at the girl struggling to stand up properly.

"She was just um coming over to apologize" I quickly responded.

He furrowed his eyebrows "apologize?".

"Y- yeah, apologize to Delilah but she isn't here right now so we were just um... talking".

"Does he look that stupid?" Chelsea scoffed from behind me.
"You have to remember he's like Asian or something-"

"I'm not Asian" Calum interrupted.

"So they're super smart" Chelsea finished, ignoring Calum. "Luke wanted to fuck but he's too much of a sissy to go through with it" she rolled her eyes and planned a hand on my shoulder.

"You know what's funny? Delilah just ranted to me about how much you love her and how you'd never hurt her. And here you are, cheating on her".

"You saw Delilah?" I questioned.

He nodded.

"Fuck you Calum, don't play innocent with me you dick. Remember the night you two left my party in a hurry. Yeah, Delilah told me about how you were all mad but what she doesn't know is why" I spit back.

"I know why" Chelsea squealed.

"Everyone does" I rolled my eyes "Except Delilah".

"That's different!" He yelled back "Then she was just my step sister, I didn't promise her all the shit you did. I didn't make her think I was the perfect boyfriend".

"What?" Chelsea looked confusingly between Calum and I.

I balled my fist out of anger and before I knew it I was on top on Calum. I heard the yells of Chelsea telling us to stop, but I didn't and neither did Calum. He wanted this fight just as much as I did.

Delilahs pov

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I twisted the front door open, hopefully the short time while I was out Luke cooled off.

Then a high pitched scream filled my ears sending me to run in its direction.

There stood a panicked Chelsea looking down at the scene in front of her. I held back all my anger towards her to direct my gaze to the fight on the floor.

Calum was on top on Luke pounding his face in. I gasped and hurriedly pushed him off, not caring that if I was hit in the process.

"What is wrong with you!" I yelled at Calum who struggled to catch his breath.

Luke stood to his feet and cleaned the blood from his nose with the back of his hand.

I looked wildly between the two before coming to one question.

"Why is Chelsea here?".

"Ask your boyfriend" Calum eyed Luke before pushing past the both of us, being followed closely by Chelsea.

I looked to Luke who had widened eyes "I can explain".

Yay! We reached 20k reads!

I'm so happy, that's sick as frick.

I love all of you, especially the ones who comment and vote (you're my favorite oops).

I wanted to say thank you to a handful of specific readers but I'll wait til this book is finished. We only have 20 or so chapters left, which will last pretty long but it won't last forever.
