Lost Boy; C.h.

-25-

*Ryan's POV*

Everyone went to the cafeteria for some food a while later. Everyone except Myself, Mikey, and obviously Calum.

When they shut the door to leave. It was strangely quiet. You could tell Michael wasn't himself. I mean you could also tell why, but it was strange to see him like this. With nothing witty to say, no jokes. He seemed small and weak. It hurt me to watch.

"Talk." I said. He looked up at me with curious eyes. Curious, red, and puffy eyes.

"About what?" He asked.

"Don't play dumb. I notice more than you think." I said. He took in my words and nodded.

"I'm scared." He said.

"I am too." I said. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it soon after. He looked down at his lap.

"You wanna know why he did this?" He asked, breaking the silence we once again created.

"I know why. Because I broke up with him."

"Well yes, but that's not all the reason why. He saw Dan kissing you." He said. My heart dropped.

"He saw that?" I asked, slightly panicked. He just nodded.

"But he didn't stay to watch me push him away and yell at him?!" I asked, even more panicked. I guess not.

*flashback*

We got to the mountains a few days ago. But the roads were clear enough to drive on today. The boys and girls all came with me to town -all but one- and found a lovely tour guide named Dan Lester to show us around.

"It really is a lovely town to live. It's really fucking cold, but you get used to it." He said, tugging on his coat. Everyone laughed at his remark. You could tell the boy had talent in entertainment. He showed us all around the town, and some parts of the mountain, making hilarious jokes throughout the journey. He had family staying in a cabin by us, so his husband and he are staying with them. - He was open about being Bisexual and married to a man. So he brought us home, and just walked a few yards away to his "house".

The next day, we had the same routine done. We even met Dan's family. When we got back to my house, everyone ran inside. But I however I dropped my purse. I bent over to grab it, however he beat me to it and picked it up for me. I thanked him. We were already standing to close for my comfort and making creepy eye contact. It wasn't pleasurable for me. But it was for him, and in the heat of the moment he lent in and placed a kiss on my cold lips. I tensed up and pushed him away.

"Dan, what the fuck?" I yelled. He blushed furiously.

"I-I'm sorry! It was just in the heat of the moment and, and, and..." he trailed off.

"Save it. You are Married, Dan." I yelled. I stomped away furiously to tell my friends what he did.
~~~~~~~~~~
I was horrified. With myself, and with the people with me. Even though they didn't do anything particularly wrong. Michael comforted me quietly.

"He's gonna forgive you, you know." He whispered.

"I doubt it."

"He will. And when he does, I think you guys should get back together." I looked into his green eyes. Trying to find any sign of regret for what he just said.

"You're not lying." I thought out loud. He smiled.

"No, I'm not."

"Oh my god thank you Michael!" I yelled, giving my brother a huge hug. I really love him. If Calum does forgive me, I'll make it my life goal to get back with him. That's the honest truth.

A little while later, Mike joined the others to wait. He tried to make me come too, but I refused. Instead I scooted my chair closer to Calum and softly faded upon him. I took this as an opportunity to study him. Everything I missed so dearly a few days ago.

His furrowed eyebrows, staying like that even in his unconscious state. His wet cheeks, dampened by tears created up to an hour before. His moles and freckles, adding character to him. Making him more unique. His scars, old ones instead of the fresh cuts he made this morning. I winced slightly at the thought of it. Then his eyes opened.

"Ryan?" He asked.

"Yeah, Cal, it's me." I said shyly.

"Oh." Was all he said.

"Hey, I'm sorry."

"No don't do that." He said, I cocked my eyebrow. "Don't. It makes me feel dumb and I know I messed up. Please forgive me."

"Calum you didn't do anything. But you need to forgive me. Please take me back." I said. He hesitated before speaking.

"I really like you. But what if... what if you hurt me again."

"Then you'll have to leave me. But I'll try best not to because I like you- Fuck it I love you Calum. I love you more than I love myself. Please take me back. I don't deserve you. I know I don't, but you make me so happy, I can't explain it. When I see you, I get butterflies in my stomach. My heart drops, and or starts beating like crazy. You're the reason I'm alive so that's gotta count for something. Something big. I just wanted to make my brother happy. But You make me who I am and I can not thank you enough. Please Calum. Take me back."I cried . Holding onto his hand. I saw him blink back tears and he squeezed my hand tightly.

"I forgive you. I take you back."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later, Calum was free to leave. We helped him into our car and began to drive. But this time, I gave Ash the keys and stayed in the back with Calum. I kept our hands intertwined.

Calum squeezed my hand. I looked up at him and we both smiled. He kissed my neck sweetly and whispered in my ear.

"I love you too."
