"Calum?" I asked nearly not recognising my best friend in the dark.

Well at least he knocked this time.

"Ash I told her I loved her and she didn't say it back." He chocked out.

Wait was he crying?

I had only seen Calum cry once and that was when we were 10 and he broke his arm playing football. So this was very new to me.

"Calum come here." I said enveloping him into a hug. He cried on my shoulder, another new thing.

"Alright for tonight you're going to forget about her okay?"

"Your hair," he said picking up a thick strand.

"Yeah do you like it?"

"Well it's very... Blue."

I have him a serious look.

"I'm joking. You look really pretty Ash."

I told him to go and pick a movie on Netflix.

"Are we Netflix and chilling?"

"Sure whatever you want Calum." I sighed

"But I'm too young to be a father!" He exclaimed

"You're an idiot." I laughed.

In the meantime I left to try and find any food that I had that could be classed as movie snacks.

I came back into the room holing bags of crisps and 2 bags of popcorn.

Calum had already taken my duvet and was laying underneath it on the sofa.

I told him to move over before I sat down next to him.

I hugged him around the waist," I really am sorry about Sophie Calum" I said in barely a whisper.

He just hugged me back and carried on watching the movie.

I hadn't really been watching the movie or paying attention so I was surprised to see high school musical 2 playing on my TV.

"Really?" I laughed.

"Yes really."

"You're only saying that because you have a crush on Ashley Tisdale.

"And you have a crush on Zac Efron."

"Doesn't everyone?"

"True." Cal laughed.

We had watched the 3rd High School Musical. We had turned it into a high school musical marathon in a weird order.

We were cuddling on the sofa, which wasn't odd for Calum and I.

"Thank you for tonight Ash. You're an amazing best friend. I love you."

"Don't worry about it Cal. I love you too."

At least I said it back.

We laid like this all night. Me in his arms. I fell asleep listening to the steady Rhythm of his heart beat, as his chest rose and fell.

Calum had woken up before me and had already made breakfast.

He had made us scrambled eggs and toast.

"Good morning." I said groggily.

"Morning sleepy head."

I sat down on the table across from him as he sat down too.

"Thank for making breakfast."

He just nodded as he was still eating his food.

"Oh by the way Mali is pregnant." He said as if it was nothing.

"What?!" I asked almost doing a spit take.

"When you say what do you mean what as in, what did you say or what I'm so confused?"

"God you're an idiot. How far along is she?"

"Like 3 months or something."

"You're going to be an uncle."

"Ew no that makes me sound old."

"Well at least you're not a dad."

"thank god."

"Daddy." I called him. It had slipped out before I could think about it.

"Shutup." I said to a raised eyebrowed Calum.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay." I asked him on his way out.

"Yeah I'll be fine, I'll talk to her about it, thank you." he said pulling me in for a hug.

I hugged him back and breathed in his scent.

He gently kissed me on the forehead something that he had never done before.

I would be lying if I didn't like the feeling of Calum kissing me.

I kind of secretly wanted it to become a regular thing.

But I definitely don't like Calum. Well not like that anyway.

I used to have a little crush on Calum at the age of around fourteen; but I quickly got over that as I didn't want to ruin our friendship.

"Bye cal." I said letting go of him and watching him leave.

Man Sophie is a bitch.
