I saw calum again. He was in the garden. I sat beside him and stared at the stars with him.

I reached for his hair, I didn't know why.

He looked at me with the most adorable face, his lips were open and his eyebrows were furrowed

I warmly smile

I didn't say a thing. I left.

I walked to the library and I bumped into

Luke

Oh, okay.

I smiled.

I pulled a little crumpled paper and I scribbled 'hi' on it.

He took the paper and scribbled something down.

" you said yes to calum?"

I nodded.

"You like him"

I shrugged

"You like me?"

I shrugged.

I scribbled on the paper once again:

" what if one of you- calum, Ashton, Michael or you talk? Would all of you talk too?"

"Oh we can all talk, we're just waiting for cal. We talk when no one is watching,"

"You're sneaky men aren't ya? ;)"

He nodded with pride.

He led me back to my room without a word.

"Can I crash?" He spoke.

HE spoke. He just did and his voice was beautiful. It was flawless.my mouth was open agape.

"You're surprised?" He spoke once again, cocking an eyebrow and smirking.

I nodded, the only movement I could make.

"You'll be more surprised when I do this - ' Long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
So long live us

Looking out at a town called Suburbia
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at a life on the other side
I realize that I didn't fit in
Didn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it
To my precious little world" he sang. Now that, was amazing-- scratch that, amazing was an understatement.

He was amazing, more than amazing.

It made me want to speak to him.

"That was amazing," I said silently.

This was the first time I spoke in 1 and a half year.

"You spoke," he squeaks out.

"And so did you," I remark

"You should feel special, I mean I haven't spoken to anyone in almost 2 years," I cross my arms on my chest and shrugged and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh I do feel special," he nods and we both laugh.

Maybe Luke wasn't that bad.

Okay I'm freaking out guys.

Luke spoke
