"Come on!" Calum pulls my hand, giggles and lighting stumbling over the bumps in the grass on the hill.
I mange to smile with no teeth, which Calum notices and he giggles more than he is.
After about two minutes more of climbing the obnoxiously high mountain, Calum pulls me through a hole in these thick bushes and branches. Ones we finally get out of the bushes and that mess we come to a clearing where a tall building sits, which is at the bottom of the hill.
I think he was trying to get me to exercise.
"Where are we?" I type on my phone with my one free hand.
"A hospital. Like the one we escaped, except this one is abandoned," he explains, leaving me into the building that is surprisingly still in tact.
"Why is it abandoned?"
"It never opened."
"Then how is it abandoned?"
"Okay, I guess it's not abandoned," I slide my phone back into my back pocket.
He leads me through hallways that lead to doors that lead to more hallways, but once we climb a set of stairs and push open a door, I honestly can't help but gasp at the sight because of the purple, pinks, and the oranges meshing together to create a beautiful sunset.
I take a step forward, still holding Calum's petite hand in mine as I look at the sunset. I hear a rustle as I move my foot and look down.
A blow up mattress that is covered by blanks and sheets cover the hard concrete roof of the hospital that never opened. Big and small pillows are set in a neat pile along with a few big, warm blankets. On the corner sits a wood picnic basket that's open. Inside is two bottles of what I think is red whine and two see through glasses and clean, silver forks. On the gray concrete that is the roof, sits one large, white plate of fresh spaghetti. It looks really good.
"Wanna lay down?" He asks, pulling my hand as he kneels down on the mattress.
"Mhm," I hum, watching as he crawls under the covers and waits for me. I follow his actions.
"Want wine?" I nod.
He sits up and grabs one bottle and two glasses, poring the red liquid into the glasses. He hands one to me and takes a sip of his. I follow is actions, letting it slide down my throat. It almost burns, but it feels really good.
"You look happy," Calum giggles, leaning against my chest while I support myself with my free arm.
I gulp down the rest and set the glass down. I take Calums and set his aside.
I know I shouldn't do this, but I don't know what came over me. I just had to.
"Luke," he smiles. God, I don't know why his smile makes me so nervous, but butterflies just explode in my stomach, "You know I still love you right? I don't stop talking to you or go around you because I don't love you, it's just that... never mind. It's too ha-," I love when he rambles, but something just comes over me.
I move my head down to where his lips are and connect our lips together, pressing firmly.
After a few moments of open mouth kisses, I hear rustling and feel a light weight on my lap. I know it's Calum, because of his weight and his small hands on my chest. Plus who else could it be.
He breaks away out of breath, "I love you," he tells me, resting his forehead on mine.
Since I can't really say anything, I just do this; I take a fork out of the wood basket and twirl it in the spaghetti that's covers it the red sauce. I can tell that he understands. He takes one end of a very long pice of the thin noodle and I take the other. We both eat until we get to the center where our lips connect and our faces are covered in the thick sauce.
Pulling away and looking at me, he giggles at me and asks in the cutest voice ever, "Is this our secret 'I love you'?"
I can't help but to smile as I pull out my phone from my back pocket and type, "Yes it is princess :)."
