He Doesn't Know; I Know

Part Thirty Eight: I'll see you later

Calum's P.O.V.

Luke sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. "Just go say it, man. Don't let her leave."

"She has to," I reminded him.

"Says who?" He snapped.

"Cheryl," I breathed out as he rolls his eyes. "I don't know what to do."

I don't even know what to say nor how to start it. I should have believed her. No, of course, I believe her! And I should have showed her I do. But I am such a big fool and, instead, lashed out on her when she needed me the most.

She was right all along. I knew her better than them. She's Michelle. She's my girl. Before the spotlight, I already have her. She can't be mean without them being mean in return. Either way, I shouldn't just shut her out. But, I just did. I didn't even listen to her. I let her turn around and walked away. I let her sleep with the thoughts of me not trusting her. I didn't even tried to apologize last night.

"Hell, she's leaving in awhile now," he continued. "As much as I'm concerened, she's hurt and you can't just let her leave like th---"

He was cut off as someone knocked on the door and, within a minute, Michelle's head peeked in as she opened the door.

Our eyes locked.

"Sorry," she started, as she opened the door widely. I can see her luggage behind her, leaving it outside the door as she left the door open as well.

"Oh, baby, I'm so---" I started but was immediately cut off by her.

"Its just that," she continued. "I have a key to the room and they said Luke was here."

"Oh," I quietly said, disappointed. Of course, she wouldn't just show up to apologize.

"Hey," Luke greeted her, standing up. "Going now?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "Thought I'd say goodbye. Michael said you were here. You coming to the airport?"

"Yes," he said cheerfully, steering her outside. Then before he can even close the door, he turned around. "You coming, bub?"

I just looked at him for a second before looking at Michelle. Her eyes gazed passed thru me. She's obviously avoiding any eye contact with me. But her eyes speak a lot of how sad she was.

I shook my head. "I'll do something."

"Bye then," Luke said.

Then he closed the door.

How stupid can I get? You tell me. But I know that was not the perfect move. And, eventually, I would have to do something about it.

I can't lose my girl like this.

A/N: I was sent home because I was sick. :( But, scratch the sad face; this gives me time to update. Cause, viola! I'm back! I was supposed to update this hours ago but my phone died before I can even save it so I had to start over again.

Anywhoopsie, of course, Calum has to act all jerk on the last chapter. But, I think his love for Michelle was already been declared a few chapters back. This will end soon. Still have some twist left.
