The Truth about Love {C.H}

Chapter 20

Luke's POV

I saved Melanie today, at least Calum can't get angry at me for that.

"Hey man, thanks for rescuing Mel today, I feel so bad that I didn't even hear her" Calum said.

"No worries, I couldn't just let her drown, why didn't you hear her though?" I said

"I was talking to Bianca"

"Oh okay" I said an annoyed tone.

Why the fuck wasn't Calum there for Melanie, if it wasn't for me Melanie could of been dead, I feel so bad for Mel, what does she think of him? I wonder if she knows that he was too busy talking to Bianca.

"I'm going to go for a nap guys, I'll see youse in about an hour" I said walking up the stairs.

My room was up the end next to Calum and Melanie's and Tayler and Ashton's.

I opened my door as I glanced over to Melanie's room and saw her sitting on the bed with her head in her hands. I walked in as quietly as possible and lightly knocked on the door.

"Mel, are you okay..?" I said in a concerned tone.

She lifted her head and wiped away her tears, I quickly rushed over and sat on the bed.

"Mel?"

"L-Luke, what are you doing here" she said trying to cover her face.

I went and sat over next to her, she started bawling her eyes out. I put my arm around her shoulder and her tears poured out onto my shirt. I hated seeing her like this, she should be happy.

"I overheard you and Calum t-talking and why he wasn't there f-for me when y-you were" she tried to explain while still crying.

"Oh Mel, I'm sure it's nothing" I said trying to make her happy.

"But, I saw them flirting when we were canoeing, I just left it though, I didn't want to make a big deal out of anything" she said while looking down at her hands, playing with her rings.

It's true, they were flirting but I wasn't going to say anything about it, I mean Calum is a fuckboy, he flirts with a lot of people, but he's anything but a cheater, he would never purposely hurt someone like that, he's a good man.

"Mel, it's probably nothing, don't worry about it I promise, if Calum does anything to hurt you he'll have to deal with me first, he's a loyal person though." I told Mel.

"Yeah, I suppose your right Luke, thank you for talking to me, you've helped a lot" she said smiling, even though her mascara was a bit smudged and her eyes were red and puffy she was still the most beautiful girl I've seen. I can't help liking her, I know her and Calum are happy together but, it just breaks my heart to know I'm not the one who makes her smile each morning, I'm not the one to wake her up from her sleep, I'm not the one that can laugh with her in the middle of the night.

I left the room after giving Mel a hug to staying with her to make sure she was okay. I went back into my room thinking about everything that had just happened. Calum has to treat her right, he can't go around flirting with every other girl. Melanie is too good of a person for him. If he keeps doing this he won't know what he missed till it's gone.

Calum's POV

I felt like shit for not realising Mel was drowning, I can't believe I wasn't there for her, instead Luke was there, I wish it was me, I don't want Mel to think any less of me, I don't want her to think if rather be with Bianca ten her,Bianca is a nice girl but nothing on Melanie, Melanie is my girlfriend I would do anything for her and the fact I wasn't there just makes me feel like a shit boyfriend. I just wish she knew how bad I feel, I need to make it up to her but how, I don't wanna be cliché and take her on a date to a restaurant or to a beautiful lake, or the movies but I honestly don't know where to take her, a movie day? No. I just don't know what to do. Melanie deserves the best in life, I hope I can at least give her that. but for now I'm just going to have to try my best.
