bitches love cake

the one where you came to London for me?

this is a continuation of "the one where I speak now"s sad ending. This is set 2 years in the future and Luke is in London still.

-----------------

Luke's pov:

I reached my arm out of bed and grabbed my phone that was blaring out music for my alarm. I turned it off and sat up; I rubbed my face and thought about why I had to get up. I work as a preschool teacher now and liked to be at the school much earlier than my students.

I jumped in the shower and started getting dressed. I had put my shirt on and loosely tied my tie around my neck when I heard the doorbell ring. I furrowed my eyebrows, who would come to see me at 6 am?

I opened the door to see a person I thought I would never see again. my veins filled with a warmth that I couldn't stop. I opened my mouth to speak but it felt like my throat was filled with the very flowers at that wedding all those years ago. I could think. I couldn't breath without it reminding me of that day and now the very person that ruined my life was back.

"hi Calum" but I said none of those things. I said none of them because Calum could have done anything to make me leave, and I would be right here, accepting him with open arms again.

"Luke! God, I'm so glad you're okay, I didn't - I had no idea if you were safe or not. I missed you" the words I missed you too felt heavy on my tongue, and I swallowed them down.

"why are you here?" he gulped and began to wring his hands as he looked down, as if he didn't expect this to be a question I would ask.

"Shawn and I, we kind of fell apart, and, and I didn't know why at first. I spend almost 6 months going to different therapists, trying to figure out what's wrong with me. but it's you. it's you Luke!" he paused and looked at the sky as he sighed deeply. He covered his face with his hands, still looking upward.

"I was in love with you since I met Shawn. I've been in love with you since secondary. Shit Luke, I think I was born in love with you" he laughed bitterly.

"Cal - I just, I really just...I need to go - please just let-" I stuttered out as I pushed past him towards my car.

"wait, you can't just go! where are you going?" he turned and grabbed my wrist, making me stop and turn to face him.

"really Calum, are you serious?"

"why would I be in London, thousands of miles from my home if I wasn't?" I scoffed and shook my head in disbelief.

"how dare you, how fucking dare you.  do you care about me at all? do you care that you didn't call me for 2 fucking years? I just, shit, I've been trying to forget you for 2 years, Calum. and now I've finally got to the point where I've forgotten  you enough so I don't cry at night anymore and yet, here you are, ready to screw me over all over again. it's fucking insane to think that you can come after me after 2 damn years and go 'I made a mistake' and expect me to, to just, to fall into your arms again and I can't do it. I can't let myself fall apart like that again and the only way I know how to not do that is to stay away from you" I stopped trying to hold in my tears and let them flow freely down my face as I stuttered over my words. Calum looked at a lost of what to say.

"I had no idea" his mouth opened and closed but no more words came out. I shook me head and crossed my arms.

"that's because you've only been thinking about yourself" I turned and walked to my car, got in, and drove to work

--------------

I dismissed my 4 year olds to recess as I placed my head in my hands. I sighed deeply and thought about what a shit day I've had. I almost didn't feel the little tap on my shoulder until it happened for the 3rd time. I looked towards the tap and saw a Mayn, a student of mine.

"Mr. Hemmings, are you okay? you look sad?" I sighed as she struggled climbing up on a 'big kid chair'. when she was seated I sighed again.

"someone did something that made me really upset but happy at the same time" she furrowed her eyebrows and tiled her head to the side in confusion. I sighed again.

"let's say mummy brought you brand new crayons, yeah?" her eyes lit up and she nodded enthusiastically. "but let's say there was one color you loved and you let someone use it" she gasped and widened her eyes at me.

"why would I let someone use my favorite crayon?"I lightly chuckled and smiled.

"because you're a very kind person. but okay, and that person breaks your favorite color on accident, but doesn't say sorry." she gasped again.

"but you always say sorry! that's how you say you didn't mean it!" I nodded sympathetically.

"I know, and then they brought you a different color to make up for it. would you be happy with them, or stay mad?" she put on a thinking face, with her lips pursed, eyebrows furrowed, and finger on her chin.

"I would be happy with them. they didn't mean it, because they tried to fix it with a new color. and they can't fix the crayon, so maybe I need to get a new favorite color" I sat back and thought about what she said for a second.

"maybe you're right" she smiled cockily at me.

"I'm always right" (a/n: same)

----------------

I drove home quickly, I wanted it talk to Calum. it's too bad I don't know where he is gonna be staying though.

I pulled into my driveway to see Calum lying on my front porch in the same spot I left him this morning. I rushed out of my car and run to help him off the step.

"Jesus Calum, how long were you going to wait here like this?"

"until you forgave me" he shrugged his it was obvious. "but um, have you?"

"kinda" his eyes lit up at my words and I bit back a smile. "I wanna start off right though, I don't want to end up in this same situation again" he shook his head stubbornly.

"never, I'll never let you get away like that again"

"well, then I'll never run away again"
