catch fire

Luke laid on the floor of the living room wide awake. random things running through his mind. he checks the time and its three in the morning. he hears a door open and sits up.

"L-Lukey?" he hears Calum. Luke hums in response. Calum goes and lays next to him and sighs.

"is something wrong?" Luke asked looking at Calum. it was dark in the room but the light in the kitchen has been on all night giving the living room a dim look. Calum shrugs not knowing how to answer.

"r-remember t-that day w-where y-you found m-me a-at t-the p-park" Calum asked and Luke smiles nodding. Luke took him home for he can sleep but the morning Calum had left. "w-why were y-you u-up?"

"my mom was mad at me for failing a math test and she said some hurtful shit at dinner. i needed to clear my mind and I couldn't sleep so I jumped out my window and something was telling me to go to the park" Luke says and Calum nods.

"t-thank y-you, for e-everything" Calum kissed his cheek and then ran back to his room where he could sleep. Luke started to blush on what happened.

Calum, Josh, Tyler, and Luke were in the police office. when they walked in everything was noisy which Calum doesn't like.  Luke sat down along with the rest until an officer greets them.

"I'm detective and officer James may i help you with anything?" he smiles at us and Calum looks at Josh. Calum had recognized the officer before though.

"um, we are here to talk about the release of John Hood" Josh says and the officer shakes his head.

"I can't believe that piece of shit it out! you know i was the one that arrested him helped out the poor little boy. i hope he is okay" James says and Calum looks down.

"well here is the poor little boy, Calum Hood" Tyler says James look at Calum and frowns.

"i am so sorry for what happened. we didn't have more evidence of anything to keep him in more" James explained and Calum nods.

"I-Its o-okay" Calum stutters. he didn't want to talk about it if he stutters.

"actually officer can we go somewhere private? we need to tell you something about what has been happening" Luke says and James nods. they all stand up and he takes them into a little cubicle. Calum sits down as the rest stand. James gave them all chairs as he sat down too.

"Calum stutter but he told me everything so is it okay if i tell you?" Josh asked and the officer nods. "Calum for every year has been getting letters from John some how. ive read all of them and they are truly horrific." Josh says and Calum pulls out the letters and gives them to the officers.

"also John somehow knows where Calum is every minute of the day. he probably knows where he is right now. we got a phone call from out apartment him saying that he is here babyboy. Calum is scared for his life and our lives" Josh says and the officer nods.

"we will get on it right away.thank you guys for coming forward" James said smiling and everyone nods. "I promise everything will get better Calum"
