"How do you know him?," he asked, a slight edge to his voice.

"I need to ask him about Michael.", Luke said, worrying that Calum was getting angry.

"How do you know about his imaginary friend?", Calum asked, scrunching his face up in confusion.

"I uh- wait what?"
...
I stared back at Calum with complete and utter confusion.

"Michael is the name of Ashton's imaginary friend. Remember I told you he has schizophrenia? That's the person he sees," Calum explained.

You've got to be kidding me.

"Uh, what um, what does Michael look like?", Luke asked, licking his lips nervously.

"Ash says he has pink fluffy hair. And that he's the same age as us. That's all I've ever gotten," Calum answered, a hint of what the hell is going on? was playing on his face.

"Oh my God," Luke breathed. It can't be.

"Hey mate, you mind telling me what the hell is going on?", Calum asked, eyes widening.

"Michael is my boyfriend, the one that's in a coma."
....
"Woah, hold the fuck up. Michael isn't real, he's a figment of Ashton's imagination that he made up to get him through his rough childhood.", Calum said shaking his head.

"Cal he's as real as you and me I can take you in there and show you he's sleeping like a baby," Luke said frantically, piecing it all together in his mind.

"No way. No fucking way. I don't believe you.", he said, looking at Luke in disbelief.

"Follow me."
...
Luke took Calum up to Mikey's room. His mom and Karen had gone to the cafe across the street, and left them to Mikey's sleeping company.

"Holy fuck, no fucking way. It can't be," Calum stammered, his eyes widening.

"Cal he's right there. What more proof do you need?!", Luke asked in shock.

"Did he act like a kitten?", Calum asked, looking Luke in the eye.

"He was a kitten."
