MichaelInto the night

Desperate and broken

3:49am. The front door rattled open and I could hear him swearing from upstairs, I pulled the covers further up my chest. I hated him seeing me when he was like this, how he would either be mocking or miserable, often there would be no in between state for him to chose. The creaks of the stairs and his murmurs became more evident, I turned around and lay on my side and tightly shut my eyes, trying to ignore it, hoping I could block it out this time as I waited to hear who he would be tonight. 

Slowly the door opened, the only one that didn't creak as he wanted to come in quietly after too many drinks and not disturb me, if only he knew. He collapsed next to me, the aroma of alcohol lingering as I squeezed my eyes harder, not wanting to be seen awake. A hand was placed over my waist and his lips to my eyes, I tried not to squirm but it was a struggle, my whole body tensed. "I'm sorry." A gentle whisper escaped his lips, the tense feeling eased as I turned around and saw his state, shocked by what I saw. 

His face was bruised, battered. I placed my hand softly against his cheek as tears fell from his eyes, his mouth tightening from the sting. "What happened?" I was wide awake now, any sense of tiredness had vanished. 

"I couldn't feel anything anymore, all I wanted was to feel something so I got Luke to punch me." It sounded wrong aloud, he seemed defenceless now, completely lost. 

"What can't you feel Michael?" Tears now fell from my eyes as I examined the harsh bruise that formed by his eye, his cut lip and scratched cheek. 

He held my hand and looked into my eyes, "I can't feel you." He lowered his head, "I was desperate to feel love for you again, I'm broken." 

I remained silent but slowly lifted his head gently, allowing me to look him in the eyes, "Then we will mend you, I promise." He fell into my lap and I stroked his hair, looking out the window at the darkness, thinking how it consumed him completely. "I promise." I whispered as a silent tear fell. 

Calum: We were the Kings and Queens of promise

We were the victims of ourselves

"You told me that you had no feelings for her!" I screamed as I threw my things into a bag, wanting to remove myself from someone I thought I could trust entirely. Just goes to show you can't make promises to someone after all you've been through, people always lie to you, even the most trustworthy. 

"It's not like that, it was an accident! I was drunk!" Now he was yelling and throwing my things that I was shoving into a bag out again, causing me to become more frustrated than I already was. Looking at him I could see how wide his eyes were with anger, my face was heating up and I was past caring, all I wanted to do was be out of his sight. 

So much for being a golden couple, everyone said how perfect me and Calum were together. They said we would be that the couple you see in their old age holding hands as they go to the shops, appreciating the simple things life has to offer. Guess even that idea was a lie, as I look around and see the photos of us on various events, the smile on my face so innocent whilst his was fake, how didn't I see it sooner? 

"I don't want to hear it Calum! I'm going and don't stop me." I held back tears as they burned in my eyes, I felt a mixture of rage and sadness, as I turned my back a hot tear fell as I packed the last of my things before barging past him and heading downstairs. 

He followed me downstairs and to the front door, standing in front of it before I had the chance to open it. "What are you going to do? Where will you stay Y/n?" There was an undertone of desperation now, I held my ground as the scent of alcohol mixed with his cologne, ruining the musky scent.
