"Do you think he's ever gonna wake up?" Mali asked, tears streaming out of her eyes. They were red and puffy from crying.

"I don't... I don't know, Mali," Luke admitted in defeat.

"It's all my fault," she sobbed. Ashton cradled her as he had done to Calum, whispering reassuring things in her ear.

Michael had been silent the whole time. Luke would be lying if he said he wasn't suspicious. He had been sitting down, occupying himself by twirling his thumbs and playing with his fingers. His eyes darted around the room restlessly while he chewed on his bottom lip.

He examined Calum's pale body on the table filled with tubes and quickly looked away. He couldn't stand seeing his best friend like that.

The sound of steady beeping filled the silent room, apart from their breathing. Mali was now crying silently into Ashton's chest while he stroked her hair absentmindedly, still quietly mumbling reassuring words.

Luke sighed heavily and pulled up a chair, settling himself down next to Michael.

"Whatcha thinkin' about?" Luke asked, trying not to sound too curious or suspicious. He didn't want it to feel like he was pressuring Michael. He didn't want to interrogate the blue-haired boy.

"Stuff," he answered quietly.

Luke's lips parted in a silent question before he added, "What kind of stuff?"

Michael shrugged. "Just stuff, I guess. If this was my fault -"

"How is it your fault?"

Luke knew he sounded like a needy child but he needed to know so he could help Michael.

"I... I think Calum did this of me. Be-because I confessed my feelings for him."

Luke toyed with his lip ring using his tongue, an action he did while he was nervous or thinking.

He debated whether or not to confess his feelings but then decided not to.

"He wouldn't have tried to k-kill himself because of you, Michael," the blonde-haired boy said, patting the other boy's knee.

The green-eyed boy sighed and gave him a sad smile. "I hope not."
