Luke

as i stepped aside for the woman to come in i was thinking of al the possible things as to why there would be a woman here in a suit with some papers asking for me. i went over everything that i have done in my life and wether or not it was illegal or something but nothing came up. except, oh god Calum. could i get in trouble i mean he's legal now but like when we were together oh god i'm going to jail.

we took a seat in my living room and tried not to look like i was having a major panic attack inside, i juts hope i'm convincing enough.

'so Luke, you're probably wondering who i am and why i am here well my name is Carolyn and i worked with Ashton and Louis on their will as well as with who would get custody of their daughter, Effie Tomlinson.' she finished and i looked at her confused.

'okay, and what does this have to do with me?' i asked looking at her.

'well, they had agreed that they would leave Effie to someone who they have deemed caring and who they think would take care of her if anything were to happen.' she said looking at me with that warm smile again.

'okay?' i said but it cam out as more of a question.

'and that, Luke, is where you come in, they have left Effie in the custody of you as well as a Calum Hood. now do you know where he is?' she asked and my body went cold. 

they left us Effie, Calum and I? why would they leave her to both of us knowing well enough that we are not together?

'he um he is London at the moment.' i said shaking my head at this news.

'oh, well  hope he will return soon because the contract and papers specifically say that she is to be put under the custody of a Luke Hemmings and a Calum Hood and if you two don't take full custody then she will be put into a orphanage.' she said and i looked at her in shock, there is no way that Effie is going into one of those places. the kids who are there never get out and are miserable, i could never let her become like that.

'does is have to be the both of us?' i ask just to make sure.

'yes, i'm sorry but that's what's in the papers.' she said with a look of sympathy almost, although not sure why.

'oh, well i'll get in touch with him and see what he has to say.'i said with a fake smile and she returned the smile.

'great, get back to me within two days and tell me of your decision.' she said as she got up and shook my hand and walked out of the door. as i closed the door i leaned on it and let out a huge sigh that i didn't know i was holding in and thought over everything that has happened in the span of two days. my best friend and his husband die in a car crash, now i have to talk to my ex student and lover who lives in London with his new boyfriend and tell him that we have to raise a child, that's if he even will agree to i to it i mean he does have a life in London. 

great.

just great.

Calum

'hey babe how was work?' Dan asked as i stepped through the door.

'exhausting.' i say as i plop myself down on our couch beside him and he just chuckle at my pouting face.

'i'm sorry, i think though there is something i can do to make you feel a little better.' he said as he placed his hand on my thigh.

'oh yeah? and what would that be.' i said leaning into him to give him a kiss but my phone ringed breaking us apart. i picked up my phone and looked at the caller id and saw that it was Luke, furrowing my eyebrows i got up and walked into my room answering the phone.
