~|Luke’s POV|~

Today I’m going to meet up with the boys for band practise. We definitely need it, that’s for sure.

To be honesty, I’m kind of scared to see Calum. I don’t know what he’ll think. Think of me.

I never replied to his text he sent me. He clearly gave up – speaking of which, Calum did end up sending me a text, but I never replied for one, I was really tired and wasn’t bothered to answer him, and two, I didn’t want to talk to him right at that time.

I lifted myself up from my bed – which I had been living in for the past week, and picked out my clothing. I decided to wear my black skinny jeans, and my Nirvana shirt, along with my black vans and beanie.

Since Calum stayed at his parents’ house for a few days, I had the house to myself.

I grabbed my phone, and connected it to my boom box, turning up the music to its full volume, whilst raiding through anything that kept some sort of food in it.

~*~

I arrived at Ashton’s house – where we usually practice – seeing that Calum wasn’t here yet – thank god.

Honestly, I didn’t want to see him straight away.

It’s not that I’m mad at him or anything, it’s just I don’t want any awkward tension flying around us, every time we see each other, or talk.

Hopefully Calum doesn’t think I hate him. Because he’d definitely be wrong. I don’t hate him at all. It’s the complete opposite.

I’m in love with him.

“Hey Luke.” Michael greets, snapping me out of my thoughts – of calum.

“Hey Michael! Where’s Ash?” I ask, placing my bag down on the couch, and unzipping my guitar from its case.

“His taking a shit,” he replies, chucking. “Ooookay?” I giggle along, dragging out the ‘o’

“Isn’t Calum with you?” Michael suddenly changes the subject. “uh, what-what do you mean?” I ask, obviously confused.

But why Lucas!!?? Why’d you stutter at that!? He didn’t mean it by dating, silly.

“Like, does he still live with you?”

“Yes, yes. He just went to stay at his parents’ house for a few days. He missed them. He’ll be back soon.” I sigh, in relief, that he didn't mean it the other way. But who would!?

Michael doesn’t know I’m gay.

“Had enough of you, did he?” Michael chuckles. “Ouch.” I pretend to be hurt. Maybe I should start off by telling Michael that I’m in love with my best friend. Or at least tell him I’m gay.

“Michael, can you keep a secret?” I ask, fiddling with my fingers. “Of course Luke! Come sit down and tell me.” he pats the spare spot next to him.

We better hurry before Ashton comes out of the bathroom.

“Well, I-I...” I pause. “I uh.. I might... Um. I’m...”

I couldn’t seem to spill the beans.

“Come on Luke! If you don’t want Ashton to know, you better hurry. You what?”

“I’m gay.” I say, as quickly as possible. Tears were threatening to spill, but I held them back. What if Michael doesn't support me? What if he starts to hate me, and tell everyone? What if he kicks me out of the band?

“Luke...This isn’t a joke right?” Michael looks shocked by what I said. “No Michael. I promise. Wait...” I pause. “You hate me, don’t you?”

It was a battle trying to keep these tears at hold.

“No! Luke, of course not! I wouldn’t hate you. Why would you think of such a thing?”

I soon breath out a breath – I didn’t know I was holding – in relief.

“Oh thank god,” I start to breath normally again. “Who?” Michael smirks. “Who what?” I question. “Who is it?” Michael repeats.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. “Who what!!??” I raise my voice.

“Who do you fucking like? Or love shall I say! Am I right??”

I blush at the word: ‘love’

“No one,” I lie. “Oh come on Luke. I’m not a retard,” Michael laughs. “Says you!” I fire back. “Hey!” Michael frowns. I laugh at him, replying with Calum’s name. I couldn’t keep it in much longer.

“Calum.”

"Awh!! I always knew you liked Calum!” Michael cheers. “How come? Oh god! Did I make it that obvious??” My eyes go wide. “No! It’s just how you both look at each other.” Michael replies.

Ashton's taking a god damn long time in there. Oh! Speaking of the devil, Ashton walks in holding his stomach.

“What's wrong?” I ask. “I’m feeling sick. I was puking in there!” Ashton scrunches up his nose. I starting laughing at him, knowing that he’ll get upset. Yes. I can be mean at times. But that’s just who I am.

I still had a huge grin on my face, due to Ashton’s reaction, but as soon as Calum walked through the door, my smile flipped, at first slowly.

“Who’s that!?” Michael shouted, seeing exactly what I saw. “Oh, this is Jasmine!” Calum smiles, pointing to the girl he had his other arm wrapped around.

“Is that your girlfriend?” Ashton asks.

As soon as he said ‘girlfriend’ made me cringe.

“Why yes. She is”

My – half smile, completely flipped this time.

I’m pretty sure Michael saw, because he was staring at me with sorry in his eyes. I knew it. I fucking knew it.

Why did I ever think Calum would be gay??

His straight as fuck!!

I’m just a faggot, that knows that his true love will never love him back. I always knew Calum never liked boys.

---//---

UGH!!

So I kinda forgot that Calum and Luke lived together whilst writing the 8th and 9th? and 7th maybe?

So just pretend Calum went and stayed with his family for a week.

I'm not bothered to go and change it! Lol sorry. Shhh

Not lazy one bit
