[Calum's P.O.V.]

I start walking down the corridor with a pissed off Michael and a bitchy Ashton following behind me. Ashton and Michael are quietly bickering amongst themselves and I can't help but laugh in my mind at how childish they're being.

"Guys, shut up." I say, approaching the door of Luke's room.

"Ooh, someone's in a mood." Michael retorts, Ashton laughing with him.

"Yeah, right." I say, rolling my eyes.

I walk up to the door and knock softly. I raise my index finger to my lips, shushing the two boys.

"Coming!" A raspy voice calls. I can tell that is Luke, but he sounds.... defeated, I guess you could say. Moments later, the door swings open, and I see the familiar face of Luke. He looks terrible! His hair is really messy, and he has bags under his eyes. He mustn't have gotten barely any sleep for the past week or so!

"C-Calum?" Luke whispers, bewildered. "Ashton? M-Michael? How did you guys find me- I-I..." I reach out and put my hand on his shoulder. He flinches.

"I guess we're just smart. Where have you been for the past week and a half?" I ask.

"Here. I didn't want you guys to find me." He admits, staring down at the ground.

"Well, can we come in?" I point inside the room and he shakes his head.

"No." He snaps, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Why not?" I half ask, crossing my arms across my chest.

"I don't want to speak to you guys," He says, shutting the door a bit, "In fact, I'm going to check out right now." He explains, walking back towards his bed, shutting the door with his foot.

I sigh. "Well, now what?" I ask.

"I don't know. Let's just leave." Michael mumbles, turning away and beginning to walk down the hall.

"We can't just give up on him." Ashton yells at the top of his lungs.

"We aren't." I tell Ashton, "We're just giving him some time. If he does leave, we'll just find him again."

"Okay." Michael says from halfway down the hallway. I jog after him and I can hear Ashton following closely behind.

"Where do you think he'll go now?" I ask the boys once we get in the car.

"I don't know. We could check his phone contacts?" Ashton suggests.

I shake my head. "He has his phone with him you idiot."

"Not his old one." Ashton replies.

"Yeah." Michael says, agreeing with Ashton, which he has done lately.

"Alright." Ashton pulls out of the parking lot and drives toward our apartment.

Once we arrive at our apartment, we burst into Luke's room.

"Alright, I'll look over here." I tell them, pointing to the left corner of the room.

"Okay, Michael and I will look over here." Ashton says, pointing to the opposite side of the room.

I nod. "Sounds good to me."

I tug open drawers and search through his dresser, but can't find the phone.
