22 - Don't Ever Leave

•Maya's POV•

Luke and Ashton just came back from getting a drink of water.

The movie goes on for a while until I decide to head back to my room. I almost give Luke a hug, but then I remember and give Michael a hug instead.

I walk into the hallway and hear a small sob coming from mine and Dahlia's room.

I rush into the room to see Dahlia sobbing on her bed.

Wearing Calum's shirt.

My eyes widen. She's clutching onto a sheet of paper and is curled up in her blankets.

"What happened??" I say worriedly.

"I, I'm," Another sob racks her body. "I'm in love with Calum," the tears continue streaming down her face, mascara running.

"W- what?" I'm so confused. "Did you just..." She pushes the paper she was clutching towards me.

They were song lyrics. The title was 'Beside You- (unfinished)'. They are in Calum's handwriting.

"Dahlia..." I stare at the lyrics, "what happened?"

"I went... To see you... Guys... And I heard... Ashton and Luke..."

I walk up and say next to her on her bed, "so you know that he..."

"Loved me," She says through her tears.

Loved her? LOVED her? No. Loves her.

"No he still loves you, he's trying to get over you." I look at her, "HE IS WRITING A SONG ABOUT YOU!"

"What if he already is over me?" She looks up at me, "I doubt it would take long."

"Okay, if he was over you, Victoria would be gone. You have to tell him how you feel."

"I can't think about that right now, I just need to hug you okay?" I pull her into a hug and she rests her head on my lap.

After an hour of crying she eventually falls asleep. I carefully move her head on to her pillow.

I grab the lyrics, carefully folding them and shove them into my pocket.

I run to the guy's room.

"Maya..." It was Luke. Great.

"Oh um," I speak nervously, knowing if I make eye contact with him, it wouldn't end well. "Is Michael or Ashton here?"

"No everyone left to go for food or something."

"I need you Luke."

"Maya we ca-"

"No I need you," I look up at him, quickly looking back at my hands.

"What happened?" He spoke with his voice filling up with concern.

"It's Dahlia," I pull out the lyrics, "She overheard you and Ashton... And found these..."

His eyes widen.

"What did she say?"

"She loves him and she thinks it's too late." I run my hand through my hair, "I don't know what to do. Everything's a mess."

"It'll be okay," He smiles.

"Should we tell him or..."

"No she needs to tell him herself."

"She thinks she ruined everything. She's never going to tell him. He needs to make the first move."

"I'll talk to him. Okay?"
