Calum woke up that afternoon, frantic and in a hurry. He had totally forgotten that today was Lily's soccer practice. He untangled himself from Luke's heave and bony limbs and threw his clothes on. He stopped for a second to look for him in phone and he couldn't find it. He checked the bathroom, underneath the bed and under Luke's clothes and nothing. He opted to check in kitchen and living room since before they moved to the bed they had a cuddle on there.

He looked and was met instantly with the gorgeous view Luke had. He sighed and decided to relax and maybe clear his mind.  He walked up to the balcony and resterhis elbow on the edge. He looked at the baby blue sky that reminded him of lanky blond sleeping in the room. He instantly felt bad, he was really planning on leaving without telling him.

He walked up to Luke's spacious room and saw him spread out, little snores falling from his parted pink lips. He smiled and sat down next to him kissing his cheek.

"Luke" He whispered kissing his forehead now.

"Lukey" He repeated a bit more loud, he saw the boy moe but not wake up.

"I really need to go..." Calum whispered resting his head on Luke's shoulder blade, he placed a feather light kiss there and stood up, looking down at Luke and smiling at how cute he could be without trying too hard.

He walked out of the room and decided to leave a note since it was the most decent thing to do, than leave without explanation. He wrote down that he needed to pick Lily up and take her to her practice.

He kept looking for his phone on the kitchen counter and found nothing. He directed his gaze on the living room coffee table and saw two phone identical, both black, upside down and without a case. He took the first one he saw since he didn't have much time to think about it. He quickly left the note next to the other phone and left.

As he was driving, a bit faster than he should've, he remembered he needed to call his client to set up a meeting. He took the phone his pocket and when he pressed his finger print to unlock it wasn't working. It wasn't until he saw the background of him smiling that he noticed that was not his phone, it was Luke's.

"Fuck!" he cursed, punching the stearing wheel and kept driving.

He pulled over his mothers drive way and speed walked over to the door, not even bothering to knock he opened it and saw his mother eating chips on the sofa watching some random show and not even a remote sign of Lily.

"Mom.." he said worried "where's Lily?"

"Oh I drove her to her practice" she said nonchalantly as she stood up, not looking at him and placing her bowl down.

"Thank you thank you thank you" He said rushing to her side and hugging her and placing repeated kisses on her fading black hair. She laughed and said it wasn't a problem.

"I see you have the same clothes as yesterday and well, the wrong way" she said giving him a devilish grin and pointing at his shirt tag that was on the front.

"Oh" he said blushing deeply "Yeah, I got dressed up quick and didn't notice"

"Well, I'm glad you had fun" She said sincerely since he haven't seen Calum this happy since Camellia.

His, well Luke's, phone vibrated indicating a new message. He contemplated seeing it but he thought maybe it was Luke texting him from his phone (Calum really didn't bother putting in a password since Lily used it a lot to play) saying that he took the wrong phone. The phone vibrated again and he decided to see if it was Luke.

(xxx)xxx-xxxx:
he will never fulfill you.

He read the first message and frowned.

(xxx)xxx-xxxx:
i recommend you protect lily, btw she is great at soccer ;)

He gasped and let the phone fall onto is feet.

"Calum? You alright?" Joy asked concerned since Calum looked like he just saw a ghost.

"Lily, Lily i need to find Lily..."
