-Michael's POV-

Calum stares up at me for a moment with wide eyes as the words leave my mouth and honestly I can't think of anything else besides having his tongue down my throat. But instead of what I thought he'd do, Calum shakes his head.

"That wouldn't be right, Michael." he whispers.

"W-what?" I ask confused. "But you said-"

"I know and it's not that I don't want to kiss you because trust me, I do. It's just that I don't want to be taking advantage of you right now. Something terrible obviously happened and your emotions are clouding your brain. I just feel like you're not thinking clearly right now." Calum explains and gives me a sympathetic look.

"O-oh, right." I mumble feeling completely embarrassed. I begin to get up but Calum pulls me back down once again.

"Mikey, I really like you. And when this whole situation with Luke blows over and you decide you still want to kiss me then we can. But for right now you're still with Luke and I wouldn't want you to be a cheater." Calum says with a small smile.

"At the very least we can lie here together." he suggests and I sigh quietly. I can't believe I almost just cheated on Luke. That would probably have been the thing to kill our entire relationship.

"Could we at least cuddle in a bed? I think that'd be more confortable." I ask and Calum nods his head. We both stand up but Calum picks me up bridal style in the process.

"W-what are you d-doing?" I ask a little shocked and Calum giggles.

"I'm carrying you, duh." he says as it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Okay, I see that. I mean why are you carrying me?" I say while rolling my eyes at him.

"Because I wanted to. I like carrying you, makes you seem like a princess." I smile at this but it fades quickly as memories of Luke saying something similar pops into my brain.

Luke...

I really miss him but I feel like I shouldn't. Ugh, why does this have to be so complicated? Why can't Luke just trust me? I sniffle a little bit as I glance back down at my wrists to see purple bruises and red markings.

"Michael, try not to look at that." Calum says softly and sits me onto his bed.

"It's hard not too." I say quietly as I rub my wrist gently.

"Why don't we just go to sleep and then you'll feel refreshed in the morning." Calum suggests and I nod. He let's me borrow some of his clothes to sleep in and I try not to think about how I have none of my school stuff here. I'll just go without it for one day, it shouldn't be a problem... I hope.

Calum and I both get into his bed and we lay side by side in silence for a little while.

"Hey Mikey?" Calum whispers, breaking the peaceful silence.

"What?"

"Please be careful." Calum says with a quiet yawn. That's the last thing Calum says before he's asleep and I'm finally alone with my thoughts, something that doesn't seem to happen too often. I wonder what Luke is doing right now? I hope he's okay even if he did cause me a great deal of pain. Speaking of which, my ass STILL hurts like hell but I'm managing through it.
