"holy shit, cal, you actually like someone? like feelings? like girlfriend like?" luke rambled, confused.

"yeah, i guess." calum shrugged.

"are you feeling okay?" luke asked him.

"yes, i'm fine." calum laughed.

"and you," luke points to me, "will never date ashton irwin." he says protectively.

"oh, i know. he's carter's anyways." i said, and carter smiled.

"awh thanks." she said, and i laughed.

i was walking out of lunch when i was pulled into a dark room.

"what the fuck was that?" calum's voice whispered angrily.

"what?" i asked.

"ashton irwin is so cute, his eyes are nice, blah blah blah." he mocked me.

"oh, that." i said innocently.

"yeah, that. are you going to explain?" he asked.

"uh, no. i mean, it's true, he is cute." i said, trying not to laugh.

"what the fuck?" he said.

"but, you're cuter." i said, and i felt the tension in the room ease a bit.

"you don't actually like him, do you?" he asked, unsure.

"oh my god, no calum, i was messing with you. i like you and only you." i said, and i would've hugged him, but i couldn't see where he was.

"good, cause you actually got me scared." he sighed, and i giggled.

"where are you?" i asked, and i felt two arms wrap around my waist.

"right here." he said. i wrap my arms around him tightly and rest my head against his chest.

"we're going to be late for class." i pointed out.

"yeah, i know." he sighed. he pecked the top of my hair before saying, "you leave first, so if one of us is late it's not you."

i nodded and squeezed him one last time. "bye cal." i said.

"bye clara."

(trigger warning now)
"hurt me, i don't care! but please don't hurt her!" he exclaimed, tears running down his face.

"don't fucking tell me what to do!" the other guy shouted, and slapped him across the face. he winced and held his hand to his cheek. the other guy glanced over at me, and my face went white.

"hm, what shall i do to you today?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"please, nothing." i sobbed.

"oh, you're not getting away that easy. not after what you did!" the guy yelled, pushing her into a wall.

"do you see this? this is pathetic!" he held up my wrist in front of me. "just like her, weak!"

i looked down at the ground, sniffling and sobbing.

"stop fucking crying!" he screamed, punching me in the stomach. i clutched it and fell to the ground. this was my life, i was never going to escape.

i sat up in my bed, tears spilling out of my eyes, breathing heavy. my door was broken open, a worried luke running in.

"clara, what the fuck? are you okay?" he asked, rushing over to me.

"i don't know." i cried. i couldn't breathe, like my chest was heavy and my throat was closing. "i can't fucking breathe." i forced out.

"fuck, okay listen to me. count to 10, and focus on taking breaths, okay?" luke demanded, and i nodded and i started counting.

1, inhale
2, exhale
3, inhale
4, exhale
5, inhale
6, exhale
7, inhale
8, exhale
9, inhale
10, exhale

my breathing was starting to regulate and the room wasn't spinning anymore.

"are you okay now?" luke asked me, concern still laced in his voice.

"yeah, i'm fine. but what was that?" i asked him.

"you had a panic attack. but what happened? you were like screaming and crying and i was starting to think you were getting murdered." he explained.

"just a nightmare." i shrugged it off. "i'm okay now." i hugged my worried brother.

"it's like 4 AM, do you just want to stay up?" he asked, and i nodded. even if i didn't, i would anyways. i get nightmares almost every night, always causing me not to sleep or wake up. but this one was by far the worst. because, it was real. it actually happened and i was just reliving it.
