"well, are you gonna come in?" asked luke, as he stepped aside. he cocked an eyebrow at michael. "u-uh, yeah..." he reluctantly stepped into the house, as calum followed behind.

he lead him to his room, which was still the same last time calum visited. luke took notice of calums eye, "what happened to you? and why are you here? not that im mad, but..." "um, its about you know, harry."

lukes jaw dropped. "is that why you have a black eye? i told you not to ever talk to him!! why didn't you listen to me?" "its n-not his fault..." michael said back, looking up at luke. "im the one who gets abused by uh...harry. every day. calum...he-he tries to help me..."

"oh." was all he could get out. calum sensed a bit of awkwardness in the conversation, so he said, "we need your help. please." surprisingly, he was taken back by the sentence. "you want my help? i havent seen harry in years...i dont know. i dont think--" "--you wont help a boy who is fucking abused everyday of his life?!" calums voice rose, which made michael jump. "i-i...i'm just not sure if its safe..."

calum furrowed his brows, "'safe'?? are you kidding me? who cares if its safe or not, im trying to help him out. you know so much about him, and you wont help? luke, please. im begging you. this is important!!" luke looked at him, sighed, and nodded. "you're...right." he looked at michael. "im really sorry that thi--" "--d-dont be sorry for me. thats the um...last thing i want..."

calum looked at michael. he knows he doesnt want anyone feeling sorry for him, but its too hard not to. nobody deserves what he goes through. he prays luke is going to help all he can. "whats the plan?" "plan...?" calum said confused, and luke scoffed. "you know, how we are gonna help?"

"911." michael simply replied. "well, if thats your plan, they why havent you called it yet?" michael looked down. "its not that simple for him, luke. he doesnt know where harry lives. the address. anything." "then we'll go to him."

luke took out his phone and did some research. he searched his name, number, anything he could find. "i found it." he read it aloud, and calum wrote it in his handy dandy journal. "okay, cool. but none of us can drive. and this address is too far of walk." luke looked at calum for an answer. "my friend can drive, but..." "but what? get him over here. remember what you said? we have to help michael here get away from that abusing dickhead!" "okay, okay."

calum phoned ashton. ashton is the only one who could actually drive. "hello?" "hi, ash. i need you do me, or us, a favor. drive to (address). i'll explain when you're here." calum hung up, and they waited for ashton to show.

"wow, so this is what you've been hiding from me...?" ashton said, flipping through calums journal. he sighed, "yeah...im sorry. i shouldve told you." "its okay," he looked back at michael, "we will all help you. because we care." his words have never been more true.

on the way to harrys house, everybody was pretty quiet. until luke whispered to calum, "your friend is pretty cute." "dude!" calum laughed out, and luke chuckled a bit. "im just sayin'. whats his number?" luke asked, pulling out his phone. calum gave luke the number as he punched it into his phone. 

calum laid back in his seat. michael stared out the window the entire time. calum tapped his hand, and  then he held it. michael faced towards calum, then the hands, then calum, and held it back. neither of them had to say anything. they exchanged eye contact, and went back to what they were doing.
