Luke drives me to the hospital and decides not to go, because he thinks it's better to let me talk to Calum on my own. And he's right.
I walk over to the room where his parents are in, but Calum walks out before I can walk in. I look at him nervously, because I don't really know how to behave after last night. But luckily Calum decides it for me by giving me a hug. I wrap my arms around him and after we let go, he says, "How was last night?" 
"It was fine," I shrug, "But I have to admit that both me and Luke hadn't really slept well. Did you know he sleeps without a shirt on?" 
"Sara, let me break the news to you. Nobody in the band does. Believe me, I have seen them naked more than I would like." He grins and that makes me smile. "Good to know. How are your parents?" 
Calum sighs and immediately gets a worried look on his face. "They're getting better, I guess. They have woken up for a bit this morning, so I'm glad that they're still alive without the support of all the machines. It's gonna be a while until they can get home, I guess. But I don't want to think about it too much, it's kinda depressing. So, wanna do something fun today?" 
I raise an eyebrow at him. "Are you sure? Last night you wanted me to leave. Has that changed?" 
"Yes, it has, really. It has never felt so good having you by my side." 

Then I think about something, that makes me a little sad. I have to go home tomorrow, and I really don't wanna leave. Since I'm from outside Australia I can't stay longer than two days. I don't wanna leave, because as always, I don't know when I'm gonna see the guys, especially Calum, again. It may be just a month, but it's more likely that it'll be a year, if not more. I've never felt so close to all the boys and saying goodbye is going to be hard. Really hard.

Calum knows me too well, because I'm pulled out of my sad thoughts by him. 

"Hey, what's going on?" He asks and that makes me want to cry. His dark brown eyes seem to stare right into my soul, and it makes me feel even sadder. I don't wanna him more, but I know that he knows that I'm sad, so I explain my worries to him. He says that I don't have to worry about seeing him, because he'll visit me as often as he can. "And when you finish school, you want to travel the world, don't you? I travel the world too, so we'll be in the same country at the same time at least one time, right?" "Yeah, you're right.", I say, and Calum nods. "I'm always right." 

That makes me laugh and take his hand. "If you wanna get out of here for a while, let's go." 

"I wouldn't want anything else."
