Sad • Malum [COMPLETED]

•Prologue•

{Calum}

"Come on Cal, it'll be fun I promise" I looked at Michael with wide eyes and shook my head. "I don't like party's Mikey" I said to him.

This was always how it was like. I'm 18 years old and all the party's I've been to I've chickened out or had a major panic attack and Michael ends up taking me home. Of course I always feel bad after. Michael likes to party, he likes to get drunk and let girls grind on him. As much as that makes me cringe internally, I have to deal with the fact that Michael has a social life and I do not.

Yes, I like Michael.

More then a friend.

Me and Michael have been friends since forever. My mom knew his mom when I was younger and Michael was like a big brother.

He taught me how to fight for myself. How to play video games. How to flirt with girls, although that never worked because if you didn't already know, I'm gay.

I came out to everyone when I was 14. Most said it was a phase [aka my parents] but Michael was always stuck by my side. My mom soon became more aware of my sexuality and now accepts me. Sorta.

She still thinks I will change but I don't see that happening. My dad on the other hand, he hates me. My dad took the news the worst. He doesn't talk to me and says 'I'm not his son anymore.'

Yea, it hurt pretty badly, but I had Michael always there with me so I was okay.

Thats how it always is though. I get sad and Michael is there to cheer me up.

"Why do you do that?" I heard Michael say. We were sitting on my bed criss cross applesauce facing each other and I noticed I hadn't talked at all for the past five minutes. "Do what?" I say playing with my fingers.

"You like- Zone out and just stare" he said, laughing a little bit. "Oh" I said blankly. Michael's smile soon faded and he reached his hand over to grap mine, which sent me in another world. My stomach was doing flips from this small gesture.

"Hey what's wrong with you?" He said quietly. "You seem so down all of the sudden"

"Aren't I always down Mikey?" I said, my voice cracking a bit. Here it goes. Another scene that I can't control. And next thing I knew, a tear rolled down my cheek. There's no reason to hide my tears from Michael. He's been there for all of my anxiety attacks. I can't go through them without him.

"Hey don't be like that, Cal" he said and came closer.

"Why am I like this?" I whispered. "I'm always so s-sad, I wanna be happy Michael, why can't I be happy?" I said, my voice was getting weaker and weaker as I spoke and next thing I knew, i was laying down on Michael's chest while he was playing with my hair. "I'm staying over tonight okay?" He mumbled. "We don't have to go to that party love"

And just like that, like it was a switch, Michael made me happy.
