Calum's POV

"Wake up, Wake up, Wake up" I chanted breathlessly. My red stained hands caress her her bloody and blonde hair.

This couldn't be happening,

This was my fault,

I could have saved her.

As I held her cold lifeless body and pressed it close against mine, stinging tears bursted out of my eyes like a volcano.

My low sobs were only heard by the walls that had ears and myself.

Even though my eyes were blurred by the water burning my eyes, I could still see the dark red substance all over me and the victim herself.

The funny part was it was none of my blood but hers.

"CALUM!!"

My head jerked up, setting me free from the puddle of sweat I was in. I didn't even know I was breathing uncontrollably until a soft small hand squeezed mine.

"Are you ok" Tessa's voice echoed in the small living room, her voice of worry and distress.

"Calum!"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine" I sighed running my hand through my drenched hair as if someone poured buckets of water over my head.

Tessa sighed in a nervous relief. "You were almost yelling in your sleep and no matter how hard I shook you, you didn't wake up" she explained.

How could I wake up. I haven't been able to  sleep peacefully in over 5 years.

I didn't even respond, what was I supposed to say?

Instead I sat up and walked out on to the balcony for some fresh air, time to clear my mind from...everything.

Anger and sadness started to fill my mind as I thought about everything. Scott, the murder, her death.

It wasn't supposed to happen.

But Scott messed everything up, and now he was coming after Tessa. All because I screwed up.

I couldn't lie and say I didn't care about what happens to Tessa because I did. No matter how much I denied it, Tessa some how found a place in my heart. It angered me. I wasn't boyfriend material, apparently only homicide material. I couldn't be there for Tessa.

I couldn't even save the person I loved the most , so how could I possibly help the girl who some how is attached to my Brain.

I found my self tugging at the roots of my hair making my headache worsen. I wanted to kill Scott, make him feel my pain. The same pain she felt.
