Calum was debating whether he would see Lola ever again, it still freaked him out about how she just ran out. The things is that none of his friends believe him that she's real, I guess she always leaves at the wrong time?

He was in town with Meagan. She didn't have anyone to help her pick out some new Victoria Secret laundrette. Calum was obviously the first to volunteer as her assistant for the day.

They decided to go to the coffee shop across from town after Meagan's shopping spree. He was looking around to see if Lola was lurking anywhere.

"Oi," Meagan his him as he lost distraction and turned his head to Meagan. "It's not the first time you're not paying attention to me." She giggled.

"Sorry, I was looking for someone..." He went back to investigating.

"Who?" She started to look in his direction feeling confused, more confused than she already is.

"Lola." He stopped walking as he saw her sitting by the bus stop, she had her lighter and was just staring into the fire and that made Calum have a want feeling inside. He was relived to see her face again.

"Who's Lola?" Meagan shouts and Calum looked at her.

"She's a girl I know, she's right over there-" he looked back to point but when he turned back around she was gone.

"Wh-but-" he muttered. Meagan looked at him weirdly but he swore he saw her. With that lighter.

"She was there..." He still pointing by the bus stop, Meagan looks over at the empty seat. She patted his shoulder.

"Do you still have those imaginary friends, Cal?" She pouts and Calum felt tingly when she called him that.

"What-no I'm being serious- she was there!" He screams and Meagan got embarrassed. She looked around to see people staring and she nervously laughed rubbing Calum's back.

"Okay, calm down. Let's get you some rest." She started to walk him to the cafe.

"Then she ran away." He finished.

"So," Meagan puts down her cup of coffee. "You're telling me that you've met some random chick at a bus stop and she says she can't leave you? Now you're picturing her in places where she's not?"

"I'm not picturi-"

"Calum she wasn't there when I looked." She tried to make Calum realise that he could be mental because no one was at that bus stop.

"You weren't looking probably, I saw her." He's not listening, he knew what he saw.

"Whatever, Calum." She sipped on her coffee. Calum felt sad that day.

Reason one: Meagan didn't call him Cal again and she doesn't believe him that Lola is real!

Reason two: Lola keeps disappearing and popping out of no where and its fucking with Calum's brain.

It's driving him crazy.
She's driving him crazy.
