Secret Love

#9

Cal goes down to get me some soup and I'm left here to think about everything that's happened. Through the walls I hear muffled cries. "I can't believe she did that to Y/N. Just because she was jealous. I thought she was different!" She yells and I hear bangs like he's knocking things over in anger.

"Hey Luke please stop." I hear Ashton say.

"But I don't know why she did that over such a small thing." He sobs.

I'm having trouble understanding how they knew about the stuff I said last night. Did Calum tell them? No he wasn't even awake this morning.

"This is my entire fault. Now Y/N is going to hate me." I can almost picture him, shoulders slumped in defeat. I wish I could get up and tell Luke that it's okay and that he doesn't need to beat himself up about it. But I can't speak. Since I slept most of the day, I'm seeing a long night ahead. When everyone goes to bed I'm left lying here, stiff because of my bruised neck and I can't do anything.

The door creaks open. "Y/N?" I recognize Calum's voice. "I thought I'd come in case you need something." "Thankyou Cal." I whisper. The bed dips and I feel Calum's body beside me. We just lie there for a while not speaking but then Calum speaks up.

"I really wish I could've been down when it happened. Even if the other boys could've got to you sooner maybe you wouldn't be in so much pain." He's so caring.

"I'm fine, really." I insist.

"Good. Let's go to sleep and see how you are in the morning." He says.

"Okay thanks for looking after me." I pinch his cheek gently earning a laugh from Calum. "Goodnight." "Night." He whispers and puts his arm under me so I can use it as a pillow.
