Unreturned

this one shot kinda represents how I feel right now because I continue to see Arzaylea with Luke and I'm not loving it so

They could've at least set him up with someone that's nice...and has respect...and doesn't get into other people's shït (*cough* Ashton and bryana *cough*)

But that's just me

(And if you hate me for hating her...well...that's your problem lol sorry)

For Calum, there was never really a moment of realisation that he was in love with Luke. He just knew, right from the moment they met. But the worst thing about it was that Calum was the only one who knew. And it had to stay that way.

Because now they were best friends, one of the biggest bands in the world, and one step in the wrong direction would send all of that crumbling down. He couldn't do that to them. It was Calum's little secret. Just it was quite a big secret, because he was in love.

And it hurt that Luke had no idea. It broke Calum's heart. Luke would remain clueless for the rest of his life, and Calum would die alone, because he'd never be able to love anyone the same way he loved Luke. He'd do anything for him, but Luke was oblivious. And worst of all?

Luke was in love with someone else.

Luke stopped spending as much time with them, and more time with her instead. Of course, he was still with them for the majority of the day, but he came back late at night after going to some stupid party with her that Calum hadn't been invited to.

By now, Calum knew that Michael and Ashton knew how he felt. They'd been his friends for so long, they'd be stupid not to. Calum also knew that, like him, they didn't approve of her either. The way Luke had been acting around them recently was getting on their nerves just as much as his. Calum was proven correct when he entered the dressing room one evening after a show, and Ashton and Luke were shouting at each other with Michael watching awkwardly at the sides, backing Ashton up when he needed to.

"What, so now we're not good enough for you?"

"Of course you are! That's not wha-"

"You won't even go out for dinner with us, Luke, just because you want to see her. I don't care if she's your girlfriend or not, it doesn't mean you stop spending time with us!"

"I can spend time with who I want." Luke snapped angrily, his voice suddenly become low and cold.

"It's like we barely ever see you anymore." Calum muttered quietly, and the others turned around with looks of shock, as if they hadn't even noticed him enter the room. Luke's expression soon changed to one of fury again, as he rounded on Calum.

"Maybe it's because I don't want to spend time with you." Luke spat, his voice sharp and harsh. He laughed coldly: "why are you so obsessed with me, Calum?" Calum flinched inwardly at his words. That hurt. He wished he could've told Luke, then and there. No matter how cruel Luke's words were, Calum would always love him.

"Luke!" Ashton's voice was raising again.

"Hey, we're meant to be your friends," Michael sounded as hurt as Calum felt. "Ashton's got Bryana, but he still manages to spend time with us!"

"Didn't you hear me?" Luke sneered. "I don't want to spend time with you. I couldn't care less about what Ashton does with his stupid girlfriend." He turned to walk away, but Ashton grabbed him by the wrist before he could. What happened next was a blur. Calum watched with horror as Ashton swung at Luke, his fist landing directly on Luke's cheek. Luke stumbled back slightly, but lunged forward at Ashton and the two landed on the floor. While Michael stood frozen, Calum yanked Luke off of Ashton from behind, trying desperately to break up the fight. He hated seeing them fight, and it'd never been this bad before.
