Calum's POV

Getting to the airport to pick up my friends isn't too bad. I only notice a few fans that I take pictures with as they ask questions. Since there is only a few I go ahead and follow them on Twitter before answering their questions.

"I love you Calum," I hear one say.

"Love you too," I give her a small smile.

"How's Brooke doing?" Another one asks.

"She's...she is doing better." I think of how to word it, "She's remembering."

"Yay that's awesome..." I don't catch what else she says as I see my friends walking up with their hoods pulled up.

"Sorry but I have to go guys." The girls say goodbye and after, I leave to meet them.

"How is it going?" Luke asks the question I know they have been wondering about.

"She has remembered a few things. I took her on a date and it went pretty good." I explain as I glance between Luke beside me and the road.

"Pretty good? What do you mean?"

"Marie...what I mean is I might have said I love you accidentally," I mumble out the last couple words.

"What did she say back?" Marie asks while moving closer to the front seat.

"That she would say it back when she felt that again."

"That doesn't sound too bad."

"I know Ashton."

"How is Max taking everything?" Mikey speaks up from the back.

"Oh you know just the protective older brother, by barely giving us time alone together." I continue to explain what they have missed these past few weeks.

"What about you guys? How's your lives going?"

"We are good," Marie says as she leans back into Ashton's side.

"Emily and me decided to take a little break since she had to leave again for a job and we will have to leave again soon for tour." Mikey fills me in on his relationship.

Luke doesn't say anything for a few minutes but you could tell we were waiting for him to tell us something.

"Lily dumped me," he finally mumbles.

"Wait, why?" I have to know why she would do that to Luke. He actually really liked her.

"Apparently we're too different." He motions air quotes around different.

I notice Ashton scratching the back of his neck, "Well you are Luke."

"Ya, ya whatever." Yup, he really liked her.

I know this chap is short again and sorry about that. I'm really going to try for the next one to be longer.
