"Wait, so without any notice. You walked downstairs and they told you, you were getting sent to an 'institution'?" Payton asked after I complained for over an hour about it.

"Yeah, I don't see why they said 'institution'. We all know it's just better than saying nuthouse." I say throwing myself back on the bed.

"So where's Luke?" she asks getting off the topic.

"You don't care about my problems. You want to talk to Calum." I say smiling.

"That's not true." I look at her. "Okay, it's slightly true, but I do care about your problems." she says.

"I'll call Luke." I roll my eyes as I fish for my phone I threw under my bed.

It rings a few times and he finally answers.

"Hey Addie." he says. I can literally see the smile on his face by the way he says my name.

"Hey, are you guys busy?" I ask looking over at Payton.

"Uhm," he pauses and I hear rustling on the other side. "No, why?"

"Just wondering. Say, do you guys want to hang out?" I ask as Payton's eyes grow wide.

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay, my living room?" I ask.

"Sounds good." the line goes dead. As soon as I put the phone down, I get punched in the arm.

"Ow, why? Why would you do that?" I ask glaring at her.

"I just wanted to know where he was, not hang out with him. Okay, I want to hang out with him, but you know me. I'm a spaz and he's hot." I laugh at her explanation.

"It'll be fine come on." I say pulling her arm.

We are currently sitting on the counter eating ice cream because who has anything better to do on a Friday afternoon.

"Can you get the door?" Payton asks.

"Door, what are you-" I was interrupted by a knock on the door. "You and my mom both. I'm going to need you to quit doing that." I say as I jump of the counter, ice cream still in my hand.

I open the door and before I can start talking Luke does.

"Now I get a bowl, but really the whole carton. What if I wanted some?" he asks looking at the carton in my hand. I turn it around.

"What does that say?" I ask as he looks at me. He leans closer and takes longer than expected to make out that one word.

"Adelaide's."

"Exactly, Adelaide's. That means you don't get any." I say as I follow them all the kitchen.

"Hey Payton." Luke says walking up behind me and putting an arm around my waist.

"I've said it once and I'll say it again. You guys are cute. You make me sick."

"Couldn't of said it better myself." Calum says right after he stops staring at her.

"Calum, can I talk to you for a second." I ask as I walk away from Luke.

He nods and follows me.

"Yeah?"

"Ask her out."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I know you like her so be a man and ask Payton out."

"I don't know."

"You're asking her out and that's final Calum Hood." I say before walking back in the kitchen.

A/N: Okay, so not very many uhm, what would Payton and Calum's ship name be... anyway there will be more Payton and Calum moments within the next few chapters. Hope you like it! :)
