Calum got accepted into the college he applied for and he couldn't be any happier. Right now he was leaving. His mum was sad, of course.

Calum got settled in his dorm and his roommate instantly became friends. They clicked instantly, like they knew each other for a long time. Once he got settled in he Skype'd Luke. "Hey Cal." Luke greeted. "Hey baby." Calum smiled. "I finally got everything situated in my new dorm. I am just thinking how stressful it'll be." He says. "I know babe, but don't worry. I'm sure it'll get easier." Luke reassures. "Calum, c'mon. Let's go look around the campus." Calum's roommate, Greg said. "Okay baby, I need to go. I'll talk to you later. I love you." Calum smiled. Luke sighed,"I love you too." Then they hung up.

Greg and Calum were talking about how Luke ended miles away from him. Then, Calum bumped into a familiar face. "Louis?" He asked. The guy chuckled lightly,"Um, no. It's William." "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in California." Calum said, with a little harshness in his tone. "The reason why I came here is Edward. He's met Luke. Now, he wants him and he always gets what he wants. Calum, Luke is in danger." William said to him. Calum went ghostly pale. "Thanks." Calum said and ran back to the dorm, with Greg following behind.

He contemplated on Skyping Luke, but he didn't. He didn't want to scare him so instead he looked up flights from Australia to California. There wasn't one until the end of the week. "Shit." Calum mumbled. Instead, he texted Harry, Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Liam. He told them to meet up at their place.

He was glad his mum bought him a new car. He rushed over to their place and he saw that everyone was already there. "Took you long enough." Zayn said. "Calum, long time no see." Harry spoke. "So, why have you texted us?" Louis asked. "He's back." Calum tells them. Their eyes go wide. "How do you know?" Harry asked. "William told me. Edward is after Luke." Calum said. "Calum! You got to stop him. Edward is very dangerous. He can easily kill Luke. Didn't you say that Luke is very petite?" Harry asked. Calum nodded. "Calum, you got to save him. What flight can you get on the soonest?" Louis asked. "It's not until the end of the week." I tell them. "Shit Cal." Liam said. "You have to warn Luke. Go now!" They yelled. "I'll talk William." Louis said. "I'll talk to Edward." Harry sighed and he left.

Calum was back at his dorm. He quickly rushed to his computer. "Calum, what happened?" Greg asked. "Tell you later." Calum mumbled. The first time Calum Skype'd Luke he didn't answer. He did it again. This time he answered. "Luke baby, are you okay?" He frantically asked. "Yeah, m'fine." He said. "What's the matter?" Luke asked. "Okay, umm..... I-I don't know how to say this, but you're in danger." He said and Luke turned very pale. "Wha-what?" He stuttered. "You know Edward?" He asked, Luke nodded. "He's very dangerous. Stay away from him. I'm going to go over there, Saturday. Just stay away from him." Calum tells him. "O-okay." Luke nodded. "Baby, I will be there as soon as I can. I love you so much." Calum tells him. "I love you too Cal." Then he hung up.

"So what happened?" Greg asked. "This guy, Edward is after Luke. He's very dangerous." Calum tells him, he nods. "So, you're going to go over there?" He asked. "Yes but there isn't a flight until Saturday." Calum groans. "I'm sure he'll be okay. Now he know to stay away. So he'll keep his distance and I'm sure this Edward guy won't bother him." Greg tells him. "I hope so." Calum sighed. "Do you want to get some coffee, maybe it'll get you relaxed." Greg suggested. Calum nodded.

They were at the café. Calum got a regular hot chocolate and Greg got this complexed cup of coffee. Calum was confused as to how the employee could remember he whole drink. They got their drinks and the two boys chatted happily.

It was curfew for them, which was 10:30. They needed rest since college practically drains their energy. Calum was very scared, he did not want anything happening to his baby boy. He needed him. Luke reminded him that there was good in people, that they're not all the same. Luke is different. He didn't judge Calum, not for a second. Without him, Calum would be stuck in the same world where every single person judged him.

They were back in their dorm and Calum finished his homework that he couldn't finish earlier. But, somehow he couldn't focus. The thought of Luke getting hurt, he hated it. He didn't want to think about it anymore, but the image of it kept popping up in his brain. Luke had a rough past, Calum didn't want Luke to have a hard life.

Calum finished his homework and took a extra long shower just doing his thinking. But he had to leave when Greg pounded on the door telling him to 'hurry the fuck up' so he turned off the water and tied a towel around his waist. When he exited the restroom he mumbled a 'sorry' to Greg. Greg answered with an 'it's cool, but if you do this again let me go first' that earned a chuckle from Calum. Calum put his boxers on and his pajamas. He dried his hair, his curls still a little damp, but he didn't care about that at the moment. He Skype'd Luke again.

"Hey baby!" Exclaimed Calum. "Hi." Luke yawned. "What time is it over there?" Calum asked. "Almost 3 in the morning." Luke answered. "Oh babe, I'm sorry." Calum apologized. "You don't have to be, I want to talk to you too, just not at three in the morning." Luke laughed lightly. "Okay, I'll let you get back to sleep now. I love you so much my baby boy." Calum smiled. Luke blushed at the new nickname Calum gave him. "I love you too Cal and good night." He said. "Night." Calum replied and hung up. Calum didn't know if he should've said 'good morning' or 'good night.' This whole time zone thing was confusing Calum.

He went into the restroom and washed his face. He brushed his teeth. Calum set his alarm for the next day. He hated setting his alarm, but he knew he had too. Then, they went to bed.
