I’m sorry that you have to read the confession over again. You can skip it if you want, but you’ll miss out on Luke’s reaction! x

~|Luke’s POV|~

“Okay?” I furrow my eyebrows.

Yep. This definitely seems important.

“I’m...I...Uh...Um,” he struggles.

I’m starting to get a weird feeling. What is Calum trying to say?

“Okay, you know what! I’m just going to say it right now in your face,” Calum moves closer to me.

“I can remember back at the party with Ashton and Michael, where they dared you to kiss me for five minutes very clearly. So you did. And I can’t lie, I felt like I was in heaven. The kiss was not near perfection, but was perfection. So last night, I invited Jasmine over to my house to test out how I felt when I kissed her. Because I really couldn’t get it out of my mind. So we kissed. I really did not enjoy it. With you, I felt sparks. With her, I felt zero. So I told Jasmine that I was gay. She took it badly though. I don’t give a fuck about her anymore. She was a bitch. But I know where my heart belongs. My heart belongs with you.”

My eyes were by then wide. I’m completely speechless.

Calum fucking Hood – the one I’ve loved for so long, finally admitted that he is gay. Maybe I could have a chance with him after all – now that I know his gay and all.

“Luke...I think I love you.”

Okay. Now I’m having trouble breathing.

I’m sitting there motionless. Trying to progress what he just said.

CALUM THOMAS HOOD LOVES ME!! EVERYONE!! I REPEAT, CALUM THOMAS HOOD, LOVES ME!!

I honestly couldn’t be happier. I want to kiss him, or say something at least, but I was frozen. I couldn’t move, nor say shit.

But one thing happened. Do you want to know what happened?

Tears happened.

Why was I crying!!?? I know why; They were ‘tears of joy’

“Oh fuck. What have I done!? I’m so sorry. I needed to tell you how I felt, but clearly you don’t feel the same way. If you don’t want me here, I’ll leave. If you hate me, I understand why. But just know that I’ll always love you. If you don’t want me in the band anymore, I’ll quit.”

I was shocked by what he said. He thinks I’m crying because I don’t feel the same way – but honestly, it’s the other way around.

Tears stared prickling out of Calum’s eyes, same with my own. Now we were both crying. Now this is what we call ‘happiness’

Ahh, no.

Calum stands up, heading towards the door, about to leave. I can’t let that happen – he can’t leave. Not now.

“W-wait, Calum! Don’t leave.” I call.

He turns around and looks at me.

“Come ‘ere.” I motion for him to sit next to me, but he is glued to that part of the floor.

I guess it’s my turn.

“Calum, I didn’t talk because I was disgusted of what you said, but because I was in shock. I was speechless, because no words came out. Tears are coming out of my fucking eyes without any control, because I’m happy. Tears of joy. Calum, I knew I should have told you earlier. When I sung ‘too late’ I was mentally singing it to you. And that’s why I accidentally sang ‘her’ not ‘him’ Calum. Ever since the party last year, and ever since the day that we met, I couldn’t get you out of my head. There was always something about you. At first, I thought it was just a little crush, and thought it would go away, but when I saw you kissing a girl, my feelings started getting stronger. And now, I’m happy to announce, that I love you too. I’ve always loved you. And will continue to forever.”

That definitely shocked him.

More tears started to roll down Calum’s face. This time I was sure it was ‘tears of joy’

I stand up and bit my lip. Is this the part where I ask him to be my boyfriend? I’ve never done this before.

Before I could say anything, Calum runs up to me and hugs me tightly. I rest my head on his shoulder and smile to myself.

We pulled apart from the hug, and stared deeply into each other’s eyes. Even though the kiss at the party was just a dare, it felt real. But it wasn’t. Though the one I’m about to do, is real.

I connect my lips with his, smiling into it. I finally get to experience a ‘real’ kiss with Calum.

When we kissed, I felt sparks once again. We were meant to be.

We pulled apart, and rested out foreheads on each other’s.

“Hood, I love you,” I tell him.

“I love you too, Hemmings,” he replies.

“Calum, will you be my boyfriend?”

“Who wouldn’t?”

I smile again, realising that my true love, is finally my boyfriend. This is my dream come true.

And now my nightmare is breaking up with him. But I know that wouldn’t happen anytime soon.

If not, at all.

And I know – if we ever do, we’d somehow always come crawling back of each other.

Because we love each other.
