Adopted by Luke and Calum // 5SOS

[16]

CALUM POV (another different point of view YYYAAASSS)

Finally, I'm home. No more hospital, no more doctors, no more pain. Even though I'm not back to my usual self, I think that I'm going to be OK. I have to be OK, I have a family now, I can't just leave them. Luke helped me out of the car and into the house. "Thanks for everything Luke", I said as he carried me inside.

"I'd do anything for you", he said with a smile on his lips.

Luke carried me up to my room and laid me down on my bed. He kissed my forehead and told me to "get some rest". I shut my eyes and went off to sleep for a very long time.

BROOKE POV (back to where we started)

Luke brought Calum up to his room while I stayed downstairs with Mikey and Ashton. We went directly into the kitchen since none of us had eaten in a while. There was a half eaten pizza in the fridge. Well I guess that will have to do. We started eating the cold pizza when Luke came down stairs. He came up and gave me a hug from behind. "You know how proud of you I am?" he asked me.

"How proud?" I asked.

"This proud", he said and lifted me above his shoulder.He ran with me until he threw me down on the couch. He sat down next to me and said, "I know this has been really hard for you."

"I just want Calum to be OK", I told him. It's true, all I've wanted since I knew about Calum being sick is for him to be alright.

"I love you."

"I know."

Michael and Calum came into the living room with the almost empty pizza box, which now only had one slice left, that was being fought for by Mikey and Ashton. They were trying to get the box out of each other's hands. "I want it!" "But I want it!" "But I had it first!" "But you already had more than I did, Mikey!" "No, I didn't Ashton!"

"Hey, how about you hand it over to the guy who's boyfriend just got home from the hospital", Luke said sarcastically.

"Well if you want to play it that way", Michael scoffed, throwing the box onto Luke.

"Thanks a lot", Luke said again, with sarcasm.

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

Everything was going OK. Calum was still asleep upstairs, but the doctor told us that he would be very drowsy for a while, so we let him sleep. Michael and Ashton were playing video games in the living room, occasionally throwing snacks into each other's mouths. The usual there. Luke was in his room, I think. I'm pretty sure he was writing a song, but I'm not sure. I never can tell with that boy.

"Guys, can I play?" I asked the video- gaming boys.

"Sure here's a controll-" Michael was cut of by an ear shattering scream. Well, it was more like a screech but definitely out of panic.

"Luke? Luke what's wrong?" Now I'm starting to get worried. Michael and Ashton stood up from the couch and started to run up the stairs after me. We found Luke shaking Calum, looking like he was trying to wake him up.

"Someone call an ambulance! Hurry!" Luke said, obviously scared. Ashton ran to go get a phone and started calling the emergency services.

"Luke, what's going on?" I asked him, confused as to what exactly was happening.

"I came in to wake Calum up, to see if he needed any food or anything. He hadn't eaten for a little while and I got scared that he wasn't eating at all. When I got in here, he wouldn't answer when I talked to him. He would just stay like he is now. I can't feel a pulse, he's not breathing a lot and I'm scared."

"Luke, it's gonna be OK", Michael tried calming Luke down but it didn't seem to work.

"No, it's not! Calum's gonna die and it's all my fault."

"None of this could possibly be your fault Luke", I told him. "Calum is going to be OK." I really hope so.

Ashton came in and told us that the emergency services would be here as soon as they can. When they came they took Calum away on a stretcher and put him in the back of an ambulance. Please let him be OK.

Only Luke could ride in the ambulance with Calum, the rest of us rode to the hospital in our own car. When we were getting in the car to follow the ambulance, I could see Luke crying while holding Calum's hand. Calum doesn't deserve to die. Luke doesn't deserve to have him die. I don't want him to die, no one does. But he's gonna be OK. He's my Calum. He has to be OK.
