calum opened his eyes, gasping for air. sweat was all around him and all over his body. he was in bed? he got up, holding his head. tears filled up in his dark chocolate eyes as tears slipped down his cheeks.
the first thing that went to his mind was arabella.
sloppily, calum got out his bed, almost falling out his bed but ran to her room. she wasn't in there and more tears began to race down his face. so many thoughts were running through his mind. the first thing he knew what to do was call luke right?
"calum its four in the morning what the heck" a sleepy luke answered.
"where's bella? is she okay?" he choked out, trying to stop himself from crying.
"what? shes fine! shes here mate, you good?" luke began to sound worried about calum now. a weight was lifted off his shoulders. his princess was okay and that's all that mattered.
"oh, um, yeah. i just kinda had a bad dream." calum began to feel slightly embarrassed now.
"well she's here and is asleep. youll be here later right?" luke asked.
"yeah. see you later. sorry to both you." cal sighed and luke mumbled a bye before hanging up. calum walked back to his bed, laying down and trying to calm himself.
so, what did he dream? what was real and what wasnt? he didn't really remember what happened at the bar and then he had the dream with him at the hospital. everything was so confusing and weird-- and scary, definitely scary.
after all he dreamt, calum was genuinely horrified at going back to sleep so instead, he changed into a tank top and gym shorts to go for a run at 4:05 in the freaking morning. the cool air hit his face and the night was quiet. all was heard was the breeze that pushed some leaves.
as he ran, the kiwi thought about fleur. deep down, he knew he didn't want to break up with her because she was the best thing to happen to him. but everything just hurt in the moment and things were said without thought. all he wished for was that everything went back to normal and that stupid timothee guy never came up to her porch on their date night.
its his fault, isnt it?
calum slowed down and began to walk now, catching his breath since he had ran for so long. to be honest, he wanted to drive to her house and climb in her bed to hold her.
he looked around, noticing how far he was now away from home so he decided jog back home. about 20 minuets later, calum arrived home, took a shower and laid in his bed. it was only five something and he knew luke & amelia wouldn't be wake till at least nine.
when he realized the apartment was a mess, he got his gloves on and started to clean like a freak.

hours later, the whole place was cleaned to perfection. calum was quite proud at it too. it was nine so he decided to head out to get arabella.
when he arrived at their apartment building, calum was beginning to feel sleepy. as he walked up to their apartment, a few yawns escaped his lips.
once he made it to their door, he knocked a few times before waiting for someone to open the door. a minute later, luke opened the door with bella in his arms.
"theres my baby." calum smiled, taking her from luke and kissing her face.
"im not your baby." luke joked and calum rolled his eyes. arabella let out a little giggle and clung to calum.
"hes talking about me!" she exclaimed, calum nodding in agreement, pressing a big kiss on her chubby cheek.
"did you wanna come in?" luke asked,
opening he door fully now for him
to walk in.
"yeah. can i take a quick nap? ive kinda been up all night." calum chuckled, walking in and putting bella down back on the ground.
"sure. you wanna make pancakes bell?" luke asked her as he shut the door.
"yeah!" she cheered. so while luke and arabella prepared breakfast, calum plopped on their couch, shutting his eyes closed and almost instantly knocked out.
when he woke up, he looked around and saw bella on the floor next to the coffee table playing with toys. behind him, he could hear amelia and luke talking. calum put his head up and looked around.
"what time is it?" he asked as the couple saw he was now awake.
"twelve. that totally was a quick nap." luke sarcastically said.
"i told you i was tired." he sat up, stretching. "princess are you ready to go? i am."
"yah." she nodded as she picked up her toy.
"ill go get her stuff." amelia said, going to their bedroom to get her things.
"so was bella good when i was gone?" cal asked luke.
"hm? yeah she was. perfect as always." luke nodded as he winked at arabella, making her smile. amelia came back and handed calum her bag of things.
"alright, thank you guys. ill see you later." calum said, picking up bella.
"bye aunty 'melia and uncle luke!" arabella waved. they waved and said bye too before they left back home.
