{Calum}
I finish my pancakes and put the plate in the sink. It's been 24 days now. Almost a month, I guess I'm recovering pretty well. Harry's been coming around a lot but I really don't care. It's good to have someone around. Plus, he seems to be being quite nice but I think he's hiding something but I'm not sure what.
I've tried to push the thought away but I don't know, I'm honestly probably going to get more and more curious every single week. The good side to not having Luke around is that I can play music out loud. Luke hates that shit. The bad side is me hallucinating that Luke's around and crying myself to sleep every night.
There's on a knock at the door and I bounce over as Fairly Local plays. I open the door and see a very worn out Luke. No, I must be hallucinating again. I rub my eyes, he's still there.
"Luke? What are you doing here?" I ask and he looks away.
"Don't you have some bodyguard now?" I ask and his face turns red and I realize he's beginning to cry.
"Hey.." I say quietly but don't touch him and I face him. "Are you okay?" I ask.
He's keeping something to himself. He doesn't say anything but it still isn't awkward. He sniffles and sobs quietly as he leans in and hugs me tightly. I hesitantly hug him back. Are you fucking kidding me? 6 more days and I'd probably be completely over him. Now I feel like my whole body has been filled with love for him again.
"I-I miss you." Luke stutters. Okay, this can't be real.
"Isn't Michael very against that?" I ask as we pull away. He looks away again and nods.
"Holy shit is Michael dead?" I ask, attempting to lighten the mood and Luke giggles quietly before shaking his head. I smile and let him in. I turn the volume down and Luke shuts the door behind him.
"We've broken up but it's not like we can't be friends." Luke shrugs.
"Luke, I'm sorry okay? You know I smoke now, I don't even know how you know but the only reason I'm mad at you is probably because of that alright?" I ask and he looks away.
"Please stop smoking.." he says quietly and I sigh.
"Why'd you come back here?" I ask and he looks like he's choosing whether he should tell me something or not.
"Honestly? I missed you." He says.
"It's almost been a month and you're just gonna come back?" I ask and he nods.
".. Come here." I say and hug him tightly as I place a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm so sorry I left you Calum. I had completely no reason to. I love you." Luke says and I can tell he's choosing his words carefully.
"Well.. you sorta did.. but thanks for coming back Luke. I was broken while you were gone. I love you too." I smile and we pull away.
"Well.. all I moved from here was some of my clothes. I bought a shit load while I was living with Michael." He tells me.
"Alright well.. do you wanna go get them?" I ask and he takes his lip ring in between his teeth but nods.
"I'll just go now. See you later." He says with a satisfied smile. I smile back and he kisses me quickly before grabbing a duffle bag and leaving.
I don't know how to feel about this. Sure, we both missed each other but I don't feel like that's the real reason. He's definitely hiding something, but I don't want to push him any further. Our relationship is still kind of on the line here and if one of us makes a wrong move, it could possibly end and both of us don't want that.
I also need to find a way for us to get closer because we still seem pretty distant. Usually a date does the trick, I'll just go ahead and take him on one.
I grab some pizza from the fridge. There's a few slices left and I microwave two of them. Okay, this isn't my idea for the date I'm just hungry as shit.

I don't want to go back to Michael's house. It was so awkward between us for a week to the point where I said that I was going to get back with Calum and he just said okay. He didn't try stop me, he didn't get mad, he just let me leave. Course, we said bye and stuff but the real problem was that we both enjoyed the kiss.
We confessed that to each other and we both confessed that we knew we kissed each other which made the awkwardness even worse. Don't get me wrong, I love Michael and I hate the fact that things are so awkward between us so I really hope things will lighten up between us.
I sigh as I look stare at the door and click on the doorbell. I hear the noise of the doorbell from the inside. Harry opens it and he just gives me a small smile.
"Michael went to visit Halsey. You can go grab you stuff." He says and I thank him quietly before scurrying up to Michael's room. I grab some clothes and stuff them in my bag.
My eyes widen when I hear the door open behind me. I spin around and see Michael. He bites his lip and ruffles his hair.
"I.. Um.." He trails off.
"Michael.." I trail off as I zip my bag. "I don't want things to be awkward." I tell him and he sighs.
"Neither do I Luke.. I'm sorry, we probably just need some time apart. Wow it sounds like I'm breaking up with someone." He says chuckling and I giggle along to make it less awkward.
"Alright.. well, I'm just gonna go now." I say and exit the room. It's so so awkward between us that I don't even know if we'll be able to talk so easy anymore.
