[L A N A]

They didn't even go straight to bed, they actually sat on the living room's floor to chat for awhile.
Their eyelids were getting heavy and the words just soft whispers. Both fell asleep right there, too tired to even move. Some blankets were wrapped around their bodies to keep the cold away. They joked and laughed but
Lana also poured out just a little bit of her heart, she needed someone to hear how she felt about her messy relationship.
While the boy with bright green eyes just listened and sighed.

The girl woke up to the smell of coffee filling her nostrils, it was cold and the windows were foggy.
Lana stood up and stretched her back, scrunching her nose because it clearly wasn't as soft as her bed.
She found Ashton sitting on one of the stools with a blanket around his shoulders drinking coffee. Lana yawned and sat in front of him.

"Hey." He softly said and gave her a sided smile. Ashton stood up and served her a mug with the steaming brown liquid.

"Thank yo..." A yawn interrupted her sentence and the boy chuckled. "God...what time is it?"

"Nearly 08:30 in this fine morning." Lana rolled her eyes by his answer. She hated how used to it she was to wake up in the morning, her body was synchronized.

"Why are you so annoyingly happy? we slept like 4 hours." Ashton just flashed her a toothy grin.

"Sometimes loosing sleep is worthy when you are well accompanied." Lana looked down at her hands and slightly blushed. He arched an eyebrow proud of the fact that he did have an effect on her. He wasn't cocky though.
Lana looked up at Ashton and narrowed her eyes.
"I'll kick that smirk out of your face." She threatened jokingly.
"Why don't you go back to sleep? I'm not ready for the im-sleep-deprived-and-ill-snap your neck Lana."
He giggled and the girl slapped his arm across the table.

***
Lana looked at the text message from Calum and bit her bottom lip. He was on his way to her place with Chinese take out because they haven't seen each other in approximately three days.
It was weird, they haven't properly talked either. Their conversations over the phone were mostly filled with silence. Lana didn't know why and Calum was just strange and awkward.

"Good luck, love." Ashton hugged her and walked towards the door.
The boy behind it didn't expect to see someone at his girl's flat.

"What the hell?" Lana's eyes widened at the voice and ran to the entrance, she ducked down to pass under Ashton's arm which was holding the door and stood in the middle of both boys.
She knew Calum could get jealous easily and wasn't in the mood to witness some childish argument.

"Uh, hey man, I was just leaving." Ashton smiled friendly.
"And you're here why?" Calum asked through gritted teeth. He didn't like the idea of Lana being alone with a boy.
Ashton just ignore him and kissed Lana's cheek from behind, tempting his luck. "See you later." With that he rounded them and left.
Lana was surprised and astonished, she knew Ashton tried to bother Calum, but why?

Calum annoyed walked in and placed the food in the coffee table. Lana sighed and trailed tiredly behind him.

"Why was he here?" He asked. Lana raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"You know he's my best friend, Cal." She answered calm.
"That's not what I asked." Calum said serious and looked at her. Was he really trying to fight?
"Ashton gave me a ride and he spend the night, God. It was really late yesterday and we were so damn exhausted." Lana said and rubbed her face. She wasn't going to go through this. It was pointless.
"He slept here? with you?" The black haired boy asked incredulously. "Also you could've called if you needed someone to take you home." Calum threw his arms in the air and Lana bit the inside of her cheek.
She couldn't reach Calum whenever she wanted, Calum deep down understood that so he was only confusing Lana, she couldn't just appear or call him out of the blue, at least not in public.

"Calum, are we seriously doing this? We haven't seen each other and I have to work in a few hours, please." Lana sat in the sofa and tugged at the boy's shirt.

"I'm sorry I cared if my girl is having other boys over, who knows what can possibly happen." Lana opened her mouth and suddenly anger ran through her body.
He wasn't the one to speak like that when he had a girl waiting for him.

"You can't be serious Calum. Aren't you a little hypocrite?" Lana laughed humorlessly.
The boy clenched his fists and avoided her sight.
"If I recall correctly, you're the one that has a girlfriend and it's actually cheating on her." The words were sharp and stung her throath. "And that's exactly why I don't contact you every 10 minutes, you fūcking know that."
Saying it out loud was painful and infuriating, it was like breaking every piece of the messy act they were pulling off together. "Fūck." She exhaled heavily and covered era face with her hands. "I'm a part of it and I hate this ." She mumbled under her breath. The fight was getting nowhere and none of them would ever turn out victorious.

Tanned arms covered with a few tattoos engulfed her in a tight hug.
"I'm just scared, I don't want you to leave me, I wouldn't handle it." Calum spoked slowly and his breath crashed against her neck.
Lana knew she should just take a step back and probably leave, what they had wasn't right nor healthy but it was like her common sense had abandoned her a long time ago and she couldn't imagine not seeing him anymore.
"I don't wanna fight." She whispered and Calum nodded, he sighed and cupped her face in his hands.
"I know and I can be a real asshole sometimes." He chuckled but it was sad.

They sat down and Lana cuddled up to Calum's side and he kissed we forehead.
"Why have you been so weird the past few days, Cal?"

"I'm sorry." Lana hated how she heard that phrase on a daily basis but it'll also never change if they kept on with their relationahip. "I just felt...uncomfortable." Lana looked up at him fixedly.

"What do you mean?" The boy exhaled in frustration and held Lana even closer to his body like she was going to stand up and ran away.

"I...I slept with Hazel." Lana grabbed his shirt in her fist and licked her lips.
She was her official girlfriend, the fact that they sleep together wasn't even questionable but still, it wasn't something Lana liked to think about. "I just felt so guilty and I know it's not the first time but... I just wanted it to be you and I-I can't tell her no."

That was what hurt her the most, Calum leaves to get back to Hazel and probably do the same he does with her.
His hands not only touch her skin in the most intimate way but he also does it with someone that's not her.
Lana is not the only one that gets to kiss his lips.

"I'm sorry I got you into this fūcked up situation." Lana let out the air filling her lungs and grabbed the shirt in her hands even tighter, her eyes closed and didn't say a word.

Lana was going to make sure she was the only one that could leave him out of breath and always expecting more, that no one could ever make him feel like she does.
The girl suddenly crawled to Calum's lap, straddling him and grabbed the collar of his shirt just to kissed him feverously. Jealousy and passion were mixed.
She moved her hips against his and a groan escaped his lips. Lana moved her hands to his hair and Calum grabbed her thighs. She started to move back and forward in his lap and left a trail of kisses down his neck.
Calum took off his shirt desperately just like Lana and then went to squeeze her ass before pushing her down on the sofa hovering her.
"Don't worry, babygirl." He left lingering kisses on her collar bone and down her chest. "Only you can make me go crazy with just one touch."
