{Luke}
I knock lightly on Halsey's door and the door opens soon and I see her hiding half her face behind the door. Her eyes widen and she pulls me into the house before she hugs me tightly.
"Oh Lukey, I'm so so sorry, are you okay?" Halsey asks and I melt into her hug.
"I'm fine." I say and she shakes her head.
"That video Calum took... he sent it to me." She tells me and my heart stops.
I try pull away to look at her but she's still hugging me.
"Uh... Halsey, can you.. can I look at you.. this is pretty serious." I say and she stays silent.
"I don't think you'll want to." She says quietly making me frown.
"Well is there a spider on your face?" I ask and she giggles quietly.
"Please don't freak out okay?" She asks.
"Okay." I answer and she pulls away.
My eyes widen when I see a scratch mark on her cheek, it's bleeding but it looks like it's been dabbed with a tissue or something.
"Who..." I trail off and I see tears form in her eyes.
"Halsey... was it Michael?" I ask and she sniffles before a tiny whine escapes her lips.
"Hey.." I say quietly and lead her to the couch. She sits down and I take her hands gently.
"Calum... he beats you up.. and Michael only scratched me, why are you still here?" Halsey asks and I give her a tiny, sad smile.
"Because this is important. You and Michael still have something, Calum and I... Our relationship isn't very pretty at the moment." I say and Halsey sighs as she gently rubs her thumb over my fingers.
"I'm so sorry Lukey.. you're... gonna have to break up with him." She tells me and I shake my head.
"I-I can't. I still have feelings." I say and Halsey jumps back in confusion.
"You still love him?" She asks and I nod slightly.
"I-I can't help it." I tell her and she shakes her head.
"You can't do that Lukey, he hurts you." She tells me and I pull my hands out her warm ones.
"Just.. please respect what I feel." I whine and she stands up slowly as she holds her stomach.
"Lukey," she says.
"I'm leaving." I tell her and walk to the door.
"No please don't, Luke I need to talk to you." Halsey says and I shake my head.
"Luke you need to break up with him." She tells me and she grabs my arm.
"No. Let go." I say.
"What? So you enjoy being beaten up?" She asks and I spin around.
"You enjoy all the terrible things he's doing to you?" She asks and I look away.
"That's true.." I trail off.
"You like being hurt? You like being forced to.. do him?" She asks.
"No..." I trail off and Halsey shrugs at me.
I guess I'll have to break up with him. I can't take any of this anymore. Halsey's right, I don't want to be beat up or anything anymore. Calum and I don't have anything anymore, I don't even know if he loves me anymore. I don't even know if I love him anymore but... it has to be done. It's what everyone wants.
I soon leave and feel the nervousness grow in the pit of my stomach. I soon enter the house and see Calum on the couch.
"Hi baby." Calum smiles and I give him a small smile.
"Come here." He says and I slowly walk over and sit beside him.
"Calum.. I-I need to talk to you." I say and he looks up at me.
"Same actually." He says.
"You go first." I tell him and he nods.
"So.. I've sort of realized that I've been... being really abusive in every single way. I've been hurting you mentally and physically and even sexually and it's.. been pretty bad. I still love you b-but I really don't deserve you anymore." He tells me, looking away.
"What are you saying?" I ask.
"I-I.. I want to stop abusing you, I want to stop hurting you a-and beating you up, I don't even know why I did it in the first place okay?" He asks and I nod.
"I.. really want to fix this.. us. I want to work on our relationship, and I don't want you to be scared of me anymore." He tells me and I smile at him.
"Thank you Calum." I say and hug him tightly.
"The reason why I beat you up is just because I was high and.. all..." he trails off.
"Well you better stop then." I tell him and he nods and nuzzles his face into my neck. He soon pulls away.
"So what did you wanna tell me?" he asks.
I can't do this. I can't break up with him, he's trying to change! He's realized what he's doing wrong.. I don't know if I should.
"Lukey?" Calum calls.
"It.. u-um.. never mind." I say and Calum raises a brow.
"Cmon, tell me." he smiles.
"I-I wanna take you out." I say and Calum's smile widens.
"Yea of course we can, where do you wanna go?" He asks.
"The.. c-cinema?" I stutter and Calum frowns.
"Are you nervous or something?" He asks and I sigh and giggle quietly.
"We haven't properly sat and spoken like this in ages, I have a right to be just a little nervous." I say and Calum kisses my nose.
"It's fine." He smiles. "Now cmon," he says slapping my back lightly. "Let's get ready?" he asks and I nod.
