Soul's mark (C.A.L.M)

Part 4

(ALRIGHT THIS IS THE NEXT CHAPTER I JUST WROTE IN LIKE AND HOUR AND A HALD AND BARELY PROOFREAD! I HOPE YOU ENJOY)

Michael had left me completely silent and defeated. I didn't know what I could have said in that moment to make him not mad at me anymore. I felt my lip wobble and little and quickly looked down at my hands, I had cried enough recently to last months. Now was not the right time to add to it. Once again my mind and body did not coordinate and I felt a tear drop from my eye only my hand. I quickly wiped my eyes, trying to hide the evidence. I was being pathetic.

"Luke, are you crying?"

"No..." I spoke quietly, not trusting my voice.

I glanced up quickly, they were both looking at me with a hint of concern in their eyes. They didn't have any reason to be concerned, I was the one in the wrong but they still looked as if they didn't want me to hurt. The bell rang and I rushed out of my seat before they could say anything, grabbing my bag and racing out of the classroom.

As soon as I got into the hallway I headed straight to the bathroom, completely forgetting about my next period. I checked to see that no one else was in the bathroom before pushing open a cubicle and locking myself inside. Dropping my bag on the ground I sat down on the closed toilet and put my head in my hands. Tears started falling down my face but I was too immersed in my thoughts to notice. I always heard growing up that soulmates love each other no matter what. That you will never meet someone that you clicked with more than your soulmate. I feel like I was the only one on the planet to prove that wrong. When Mikey, Cal, and Ash found out there was no way they would want anything to do with me. I tried to imagine what it would be like if we were all together but I didn't know them well enough to make up a fake reality of them in my head. The bathroom door opened.

"Ash listen."

"Wait. Check no ones in here first, that door over there is locked."

My breath hitched. Ashton and Michael had walked into the bathroom, I didn't want them to know I was here. I heard footsteps walked right up to the door of my cubicle before I heard a rough knock on the door. I held my breath.

"Anyone in there?" I heard Michael ask.

I stayed silent.

"Some idiot must have locked it from the inside and climbed over." Said Michael.

"Alright. So why did you pull me out of class?"

"Sixth period started twenty minutes ago and Luke never showed up the class. I think I upset him when I snapped at him in music. I feel like such an ass! There's something about him that makes me want to forgive him for running out on us even though he hurt Calum's feelings pretty bad and usually I would rage out if someone did that. When I see him I get that weird feeling I got when I first met you and Calum... is that weird?" Michael spoke slowly as if he didn't quite understand why or what he was saying this for.

"I get that feeling too. In that first music lesson, I thought maybe he was our soul mate or something and I still think that. Maybe that's why he ran off... he seemed genuinely apologetic afterward. When Cal was sad yesterday and you walked away for a second to get something, he said to me that he really wanted Luke to be our fourth soul mate. You're not alone babe." Ashton admitted.

I was biting my lip hard. First of all, I should not have heard any of that. Second of all, I am speechless, they Cal actually wanted me. I went to wipe the tear stains off my face and I accidentally bumped the toilet paper case, alerting the two boys of my presence. Shit.

"Who's there?" they spoke in sync.

"Listening in on other people's conversations is a pretty asshole thing to do you know," Michael said walking up to the stall door and banging on it again.
