Cigarettes // cake // Sequel of Mute

Twenty Eight

{Luke}
My heart pounds as I hear the door open and a giggle... that's not Calum's giggle? I open the door a little and almost throw up when I see him with another guy.

They're kissing... I grab my phone and laptop and go into the bathroom, locking the door.

mickey [2.16am]
yo

No... I can't tell Michael... who knows what Calum'll do to me? I can hear them on the bed. I feel my heart rip and look around the bathroom. There should be something to block out the noise.

Isn't this what happened to Calum and Harry? Calum used to get beat up everyday and stuff... like me right now. I have the craziest idea, but I have to wait for Calum and the other dude to... finish. I place my hands over my ears as I hear a mix of moans. I feel tears roll down my eyes, but I feel my phone vibrate on my leg.

👋🏼

I hear a loud moan and I bite my lip and more tears slip down my face. I cannot believe Calum just did that.

It's okay Luke. He's just drunk.

It's been almost half an hour.. Should I leave? I open the door slightly and see Calum sleeping with the guy. Who even is that? I tip toe out the room and quickly slip on some flip flops. I run outside and before I know it, I'm at Michael's house.

Michael gave me a spare key since I gave him one of mine. I gently turn the key and open it to see Harry at the couch.

"What are you doing here?" He asks and pauses his movie.

"I-I'm just here to see Michael. I'm sorry I just--"

"He's asleep, can I do anything else for you?" He asks. 

"Umm.. no thanks.. I'll just go up to his room." I say and quickly run upstairs and enter Michael's room. He's asleep. I don't know what to do...

Where do I sleep? Do I wake him up? I exit his room and Harry doesn't seem to notice me leave. I begin to walk down the streets, Ashton and Alexia should be asleep for sure. Plus, they must be sleeping alone with Andrea. And if they were up, they'd probably just be hardcore fucking.

Hold on... what if Halsey's awake? She must be. She can't go to parties while she's pregnant. But she must be exhausted... well, it's worth a try. My legs begin to ache as I walk down the streets for ten more minutes. It's still only 2.50am. Out of all our friends, Halsey has her own house.

I go up to her house and lightly knock on the door. I wait for a few seconds before I hear her unlocking it. I open the door to see her with extremely messy hair and her makeup's all smudged. She's been crying.

"Oh Lukey.." She says and hugs me tightly. She begins to sob quietly.

"What's wrong?" I ask as I rub her back. She pulls me in and shuts the door.
