Luke's POV

It's been about a week since we took Calum home from the hospital. during that time period we had to go through some things in court. thankfully Calum didn't get charged because he wasn't the one driving, but he did get fined quite a bit of money.

as of now Calum and I were watching football in his living room while Dakota brought us each a bowl of the pasta she made. lately she's been stopping in everyday, staying over most nights and that was probably because she didn't trust me to look after him myself. I couldn't blame her though.

Calum laid across the couch with his feet up, right leg higher due to the stacked pillows underneath it.

I felt bad for the guy, it was driving him insane that he could barely do anything and now he was stuck with a cast and crutches for eight whole weeks.

"someone needs to go pick up Calum's prescribed medicine and I'm not doing it," Dakota said while quirking her eyebrows at me. "I've been doing everything in this house Luke it's your turn."

"yeah yeah okay I will in a bit, I have to do some things anyway." I say, taking a bite of my pasta.

Dakota's POV

8:56

Luke still wasn't back yet and it's been at least three hours now. Calum and I have both called him a few times curious to what he was doing but he didn't pick up.

looking up from my phone and over to my side I notice that Calum had fallen asleep. I stand up from my chair and cover him with the blanket I was using before, tucking him in. just the way he liked it.

"I'm back!" Luke hollered over dramatically from the front entrance.
why was he yelling? "here's the drugs." he threw the bag at me, knocking over my tea from the kitchen table.

"Luke what the fuck is wrong with you?" I groaned.
when I looked up, that's when I noticed his eyes were bloodshot red and his essence smelt of weed.
"you're high.."

"what are you talking about babe?" he put his arm around me but I quickly pushed him away.

"Luke I'm not stupid."

"I'm just having a little fun!" Luke laughed loudly.

"this isn't funny! do you not understand that we need to be responsible now? that we need to help Calum out? you can't just go out and fuck around all the time Luke!" I take deep breathes, trying to kept myself quiet.

"Dakota calm down."

"calm down? you're the one coming back here like this almost every night and I'm sick and tired of it!" I was clenching onto the sides of my sweater. I was beyond angry with Luke right now and the fact that he wasn't taking this seriously made me want to scream. "you know what get out. I don't want you here while you're acting like this."

"you can't kick me out of here hun." Luke said while smirking.
"right Calum?"

just as he said that Calum made an appearance in the kitchen standing with his crutches by his side.
both Luke and I started yelling nonsense at each other again,

"you're such a bitch Dakota, honestly."

"how dare you call me that!"

"both of you, would you just shut the fuck up already?" Calum yelled, joining into our argument. "I'm done hearing you two fight! would you please just get along with each other for my sake? please."

while running a hand through my hair I let out a loud sigh and shut my eyes, the sound of the back door slamming shut echoes through the house.
Luke stormed off once again.
he was going back to his special place, I knew he was.
