catch fire

18

the next day Calum quickly left the campus. when he woke up next to Luke naked he panicked. so he quickly got changed and ran out. he was sore everywhere and was probably walking weird.

everyone has been trying to reach him but he wouldn't answer. Calum got coffee and walked for a while. he started to think about Luke. how they use to be in high school. he would smile probably looking like an idiot. Luke broke him out of his shell. yet he ran from him and changed his life. maybe Luke coming back is a sign that he loves him.

"Calum?" someone says and he turns around. Calum smiles seeing how its Jason.

"Jason!" Calum yells hugging him. Jason laughs hugging him back and letting go.

"Josh has been texting me crazy asking if im with you. i obviously said no but i think i should-"

"no! im trying to make sure they dont know where i am. gotta have privacy once in a while" Calum says and Jason nods.

"at least let me tell them you are okay" Jason says and Calum nods. Jason texts them that he found him and that he is alright  just needed air. they started to walk together and start a conversation.

"why do you need space?" Jason asked, "you dont have to answer" he also added. Calum sighs shrugging his shoulders.

"they have been treating me as if i am a kid. i started to stutter again but now it disappeared. its fucking weird honestly and i hate it. it will come back then leave like nothing" Calum says rolling his eyes.

"wanna talk about your problems?" Jason says as they sit on the park bench. Calum nods laying his head on Jason's shoulder. they always had a brother bond even though Jason would flirt with Calum time to time.

Calum told Jason everything from the beginning. they both cried a bit and people did stare at them but they didn't care. Jason told him some stuff that had happen to him as well. they hugged and cried a bit more. they stayed in silence but then got up to go get ice cream. the walk there they talked about Jason's love life. he's seeing someone very important to him now and how he loves him with his whole heart. Calum smiles happy for his friend. Jason asked about Luke and Calum shrugged saying how its complicated as Jason can tell from what Calum has told him.

"two vanillas" Jason says and Calum pays. Jason shakes his head seeing how fast Calum is with his wallet. they got their ice cream and went outside to start walking to the College campus. they both started to say jokes and laugh all the way there. Calum was also getting tired and wanting to shower. when they got there they both went upstairs and went to Calums room. Calum got his keys from his pocket and open the door.

"then i spill my drink on him saying 'sorry i peed on you' just because i was nervous and didn't know what to say!" Jason says and they both start to laugh. when they got to the living room they see everyone in there waiting.

"hey guys" Jason waved his hand but everyone rolled their eyes. Calum shook his head knowing they are mad at both of them.

"how rude are they" Calum says to Jason as he throws his keys on the table. Jason nods agreeing on what Calum has said.

"we were worried and then we find out you are hanging out with Jason! out of all the people!" Josh yells.

"that kind hurt" Jason says feeling offended.

"good" Luke says smiling. Calum shakes his head at the two boys.

"i was by myself but i bumped into Jason. so what? i cant hang out with a friend" Calum says and Luke shakes his head.

"what a friend! he flirts with you" Luke says getting jealous and remembering the day he first met Jason. Jason laughs nodding but Calum stops him by hitting his stomach.

"look Jason is dating someone and Luke you don't have to be jealous i like you and only you. also Josh you love Jason! he's one of your best mates! also you introduced me to him! i don't understand why you are mad!" Calum says and they boys sigh.

"sorry" the two boys say at the same time. Calum hugs them but hugging Luke a bit longer.

"now lets watch movies!" Calum yelled smiling like an idiot.
