Oli's POV
I felt Callum's warm embrace. Im scared, I don't want her to scare him away... Everyone she's met has left me. I refuse to let her take him aswell.
"Oh. Oliver, who's this?" No... Please.
"My name is Callum Knight. Might I ask who you are?" Callum... You're too polite for your own good.
"My name doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I'm the person who's looking after Oliver."
"You're not looking after me. You just come and see how I am sometimes." I say. She can't keep controlling me like this...
"Oliver," She sighs "I was trying to help you. Im going to go and I will be back in a week. Hopefully you should be feeling better then. I'll see you then. Maybe even both of you." She smiles and waves at us before walking out of the house. The door shuts behind her. I curl up into Callum.
"Oli, who was that?" He questions. Im not sure how to respond.
"She just showed up when my parents kicked me out. She works for the social services and the Council. She has to see how Im doing every now and then. I hate it..." I whisper. I feel his fingers travel through my hair. "I just don't know what to do Callum... I feel like no matter what I do I'm never good enough for anyone... Where ever I go its like Im being watched..." I can feel the tears threatening in my eyes.  "Callum, please dont ever leave me..." The stroking stops.
"Oli..." He sighs "I promise, I won't leave you unless you want me to leave." Oh no...
"If you want to leave I understand." I say looking up at him.
"No. Oli, don't worry. I want to be here for you." He says picking me up. I throw my arms around him to support me.
"Maybe a warning next time?" I say lightening the mood. He laughs slightly
"I'll keep it in mind." a smile spreads across both of our faces.

Callum lays me down on the sofa, handing me some food. "You need to eat to get better." He cares so much...
"Thanks." I say taking a bite of it. In all honesty, it tastes kinda bad. The food makes me feel a bit sick because of where I haven't eaten properly in ages.
"Hey, are you feeling ok?" Callum asks. I nod my head and lie to him. He gives me a worried smile.
"I'm fine Callum... Really. Food is just a bit new to me, if that makes sense." I say. His face hardly changes. I sigh, please Callum...
We sit in silence for a bit as we both finish eating. I turn on the TV ans flick to a random channel. Out of all the films we could've watched, the one we did was 'The Phantom of The Opera.' I've never watched it before but it seems good. We both lay watching the film/play.  Callum had his arm wrapped around my waist. I could feel his body heat on my back. I just lay there focusing on the movie however.

"I forbid you to leave me." Callum murmurs. I look up...
He's asleep?!? Seriously Callum?!? We literally had a sleep twenty minutes ago!
In all honesty, I think he deserves it. Lately Callum's had these bags under his eyes. Lately, more like ever since I met him. Maybe he doesn't get that much sleep at home... I don't wanna wake him up or ask him though. Thats pretty invasive. I watch the entire show and turn the TV over to the music channel. The first song to come on was amazing. Rita Ora is, and hopefully always will be, a brilliant singer. Callum mumbles the words in his sleep.
"Looks like we found a winner," I joke to myself.
My eyes begin to feel heavier. "Why am I tired? I should be full of energy after how I slept." I yawn. This is probably because of the sudden increase in energy. I laugh to myself before resting.

3rd Person POV
Oli and Callum laid asleep for awhile. The two became the best of friends over the years. They met an entire group of people, through Callum of course. Everyone was happy. Well, that's the thing. Was happy.

One dreadful night Callum messaged Oli. The two had graduated and were now in college. The wind outside was crazy. Rain came pouring down through the streets.
Callum: Hey Oli.
Callum didn't get a reply from Oli. This made him slightly confused.
Callum: have you fallen asleep on me again? We were supposed to study with Joel tonight.  Even though he lives in England he said he can call us in a minute.
About five minutes pass before Calljm gets worried.
Callum: Oli? Is everything ok?
Callum gets on a call with Joel. It turns out Joel hasn't heard from Oli in awhile either. Callum shrugs it off but something in his mind knows it's not correct. The two begin to study. About an hour passes before Joel has to go. The two end the call and Callum returns to Oli.
Callum: Oli...? You're worrying me.
All of his messages haven't been seen.
About another hour passes. Callum's laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling, worried about Oli. One final message and then he'll go to bed. Or try at least.
Callum: Hey, are you still there?
Callum logs off his computer and lays on his bed in the darkness repeating the words in his head over and over again.

Hey....

Are you still there?
