As Calum looked up, he caught my eye, and I broke down. The tears started flowing freely. I ran over to him, hugging him close.

"I thought you were going to die," I cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Well, I'm still here, aren't I?" Calum soothed you.

I didn't say anything else, just clung onto him with all I'd got.

"I'm sorry for worrying you," he apologised.

"You shouldn't apologise. This is my fault. If I hadn't have run away, you wouldn't have gotten hurt." I cried.

"Don't blame yourself. It was just unlucky. But, never run away again," he said softly.

"But, it is my fault, no matter what you say, it will always be my fault that you almost died." I ran to my room, crying.

I closed my door behind me and flopped face down on my bed. I already knew I looked like a mess, but I was too depressed to care.

"I'm surprised that Calum doesn't hate me," I said to myself, getting myself worked up.

"I could never hate you," Calum said from the doorway. I didn't even hear him come in.

"Well, you should. You could've died because of me," my voice caught in my throat, tears streaming down my cheeks again.

Calum walked over and sat next to me on the bed. I put my head in my hands, crying.

"Hey," he said softly. "I'm alright," he pulled me into him, hugging me. I didn't hug back because he deserves someone better than me.

"Why don't you hate me?" I asked him.

"Because I love you," he answered.

I looked up at him in disbelief.

"How can you love someone who has done nothing but hurt you since I met you?" I questioned.

"I guess nothing can make me hate the person I'm in love with."

I just looked at him, not believing a word that was coming out of his mouth.

"I don't believe you," I said.

"Well, you should. Hopefully this can change your mind."

"What do you me-," I didn't have time to finish; his lips were on mine before I had the chance.

My lips moved perfectly against his. His lips felt amazing. I put my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He smiled against my lips, "Told you I wasn't lying."

"Shut up," I said to him, smashing my lips back against his. He didn't need telling twice, he kissed me with as much hunger and lust as I kissed him with. He leant forwards, causing me to fall backwards onto my bed, never disconnecting our lips. He help up his weight with his fore arm, as he continued to kiss me. I gently bit his lip, a moan slipped from his lips. I smiled and connected our lips again, but this time, Calum took more control. He pressed into me more, causing me to gasp. He took this opportunity to slip his tongue in my mouth. It swept over mine, giving me the most euphoric feeling. I moaned and this time it was his turn to smile.

He pulled away and I stuck out my bottom lip.

"Meanie," I said, disappointed.

"I didn't want to stop, but someone's coming," Calum replied.

Just as he said that, Ashton came in the door.

"Are you okay? You seemed pretty distraught when you left earlier," he asked.

"Yeah, we talked things out," I answered with a smile.

"It looks like you did more than 'talk things out'," Ashton said, raising his eyebrows at both of us.

I looked at Calum to find him looking at me. His hair was a mess and I'm guessing mine was the same. We both looked at Ashton, smiling nervously and blushing slightly.

"I don't really care; you can do whatever you want, but you should probably talk to Luke and Michael before anything serious happens," Ashton states.

"I knew you'd say that," Calum said, rolling his eyes. "You don't let us have any fun."

"I'm looking out for you man. They will want to kill you and you should tell them before they find out a different way. You'll probably get punched either way, but they'll get over it eventually... I think. They both like you a lot," Ashton said to both of us.

"Thanks, that makes me want to tell them." I replied, sarcastically.

"I'll do it if you want?" Calum asked.

"No, I'll do it. They'll probably go easier on me. I'll tell them tomorrow. I can't be bothered to do it now," I answered.

"Okay," Ashton said, leaving the room.

"Ashton..." I shouted after him.

He stuck his head around the door, "Yeah?"

"Can you tell them to give me some space?" I asked.

"Sure, just don't... you know," he replied.

"Ash!" I said, widening my eyes at him, whereas, Calum was sat there smirking beside me.

"Hope you get lucky tonight bro," Ashton said.

I picked up a pillow and threw it at him, but he had already closed the door.

"Aww... babe. He was only teasing," Calum smirked at me.

"Oh. So, you don't want to get lucky tonight? Okay." I smiled at him.

"No, no, no. I didn't mean it like that!" He said, worried.

"Well, that's what I heard," I replied, turning away from him, lying down close to the wall. I felt him lie down behind me. He moved my long hair away from my neck and connected his lips to my skin.

"You know that's not what I meant, Megan."

I turned around to face him.

"Really?" I asked.

Before I knew it, his lips were on mine again. His lips trailed down my jawline, until they reached my neck. His lips lingered on a spot for a longer time than usual and he gently nibbled my skin with his teeth. A moan escaped my lips. He grinned against my neck, succeeding in getting through to me. He sucked on that spot and I moaned again. I brought his head back up to my face and kissed him passionately.

"Stay with me." I said to Calum.

"Of course," he replied, placing a soft, tender kiss on my lips.
