Chapter 48

The Show~

"Luke!" I pouted as he whined about having to play a show in his costume. 

"Why?" He whined, jutting his lower lip out and giving me puppy dog eyes, since that normally got me. 

"Because I dressed up." 

"Why do I?" 

"Because your my husband, silly."

"I don't wanna!" 

"Fine then. Calum will be Mickey." I said, smirking.

"Nuh uh!" Luke said immediately.

"Well, Minnie needs a Mickey, and if you don't want to be him then I guess Cal will have to." 

"I'll wear it!" 

"That's more like it, babe." I said, giggling. He sighed, pulling me to the side of the stage before soundcheck. Just then Ashton, Michael and Calum all came out dressed up as Donald Duck, Pete and Goofy respectively. 

"Now you guys are all matching!" I said, clapping my hands together.  Brianna and Nikki all came out dressed as Clarabelle Cow, and Daisy Duck respectively.

"THIS IS PERFECT!" Brianna shouted, and I laughed, playfully pushing Calum out on stage first, and I heard screams and laughs coming from the people who got soundcheck experience.  

They quickly sang their soundcheck, and I swayed along to Amnesia, when I saw Calum's eyes tear up as he sang, thinking about Ember. He wandered off the stage after that, and it was thankfully the last song they decided to sing for soundcheck. The others sat down on the edge and started chatting animatedly with the fans, grins on their faces. I wandered out onto the stage, waving to the few who noticed me. 

"Hey, I'm gonna go be with Cal until the show if you're looking for me." I whispered in Luke's ear. He looked at me, giving me a sad smile. 

"Sounds good." Luke  confirmed, and I kissed his cheek before wandering off the stage again and looking for Calum. He wasn't in the dressing rooms, and none of the staff had seen him. 

"Calum, where'd you go?" I murmured, wandering outside. Looking in the bus, he wasn't there either. But neither was his stuff.

"Fug." I said, grabbing my car keys and driving to the LA house. The lights were on and I opened the door, encountering a sobbing Calum chucking pictures of him and Ember around.

"Hey, hey hey!" I said loudly, rushing over to him and taking the picture of him and Ember out of his hand and placing it on the coffee table. 

"Calm down." I murmured. "Calm down." I said as he kicked the couch. He stretched for the photo, reached it, and chucked it at the wall, the picture frame shattering. 

"Calum." I murmured. He didn't hear me, and chucked a cup at the wall, the glass shattering as well. 

"CALUM!" I yelled, shaking his shoulders. He finally noticed me and he sobbed even harder, turning away from me. 

"Ca-" I started.

"No. Leave me alone." He snapped. 

"No. I'm not going to leave you alone."

"I need to be alone!" He said, almost yelling at me.

"No! WHAT YOU NEED IS SOMEONE THERE FOR YOU!" I yelled, tearing up. 

"WHY WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED!" 

"BECAUSE WE'RE PRETTY MUCH TWINS!" I screamed and sobbed at the same time, and this time, it was me turning away from him. "Because I've gone through the same thing." I added, and I got no response. I turned back around and saw that Calum disappeared. I stood there, staring at where he used to be, tears running down my cheeks. Picking my way to the bathroom, I removed my makeup. Gripping the edge of the counter, I tried to control the anger attack that I knew was coming. With my clouded conscious, I pulled my ring off and set it some place safe, before I went into full anger attack mode. I chucked the Minnie ears across the room, not registering the grunt that came from Luke, who had come to see where I went and figured out I went home.
