fifteen.

*Calum's POV*

Luke was already awake with his legs dangling off the bed while his head hung low, he kept running his hands through his hair and letting out loud sighs. He took his hands out of hair and turned something in his hands,

"I"m sorry. No, no. Um, I hope you can forgive me. Ah shit." He continuously shook his head, practising his words over and over and sometimes changing them.

"Luke is everything okay?" He quickly slid whatever was in his hands back into his bedside table, jumped up quickly and spun around to face me.

"Yeah everything's fine." He looked towards the ground, his facial expressions unreadable.

"What was that?" I pointed to his drawer where he returned the object seconds before.

Luke shrugged, "A letter from that college I wanted to go to.. I didn't get in." Luke had always wanted to go to Griffith University in Queensland, and although the distance he had always promised to come see me and his family whenever he had the chance.

"You haven't told your mum have you?" I could tell by the look on his face and he shook his head and ran his hands through his hair again, it was something he did a lot when he was nervous.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Luke looked at me with glossy eyes,

"No that's okay. I'm gunna take a shower." I nodded at Luke when I heard my phone go off from my jeans pocket, which were located somewhere in Luke's room. I stood up to find my phone and saw Luke lock the bedside table from the corner of my eye, which was unusual. Luke has never locked anything away in his bedroom before.

I pretended not to notice Luke's actions as he walked into the bathroom and returned my attention to finding my jeans in Luke's cluttered, messy room. After picking up about 7 pairs of black jeans, all of which weren't mine and I had no idea Luke owned this many pairs, I found mine.

I pulled my phone from the pocket and tapped the home button causing the screen to light up. My fingers moved faster than my brain, because sure enough my thumb slid across the screen and the words of the text appeared in a thin white bubble.

Are you free on Saturday night? Having a party at mine 

I let out a heavy sigh and locked my phone, only to unlock it a second later. I stared at the name on the screen for a while, it felt wrong not to reply so I started typing slowly.

yeah, sorry about the mall thing by the way

I hit send, guilt filling all my insides at how I treated Ashton in the mall. A few seconds later I got a text back,

Don't worry about it bro, all is forgotten :)

I threw my head backwards and looked up at the ceiling while a low groan escaped from the back of my throat,

"I'm not disturbing anything am I?" I spun around to face Luke and stared at him for a while, not fully understanding his question,

"What do- Oh." Now I understood,

"Nope, penis is in the pants." I laughed at Luke when he rolled his eyes, flipping me off when he walked back into his bathroom.

Once he vanished I looked down at my phone again. I stared at the screen for a while until my thumbs started to pad over letters that formed a sentence,

See you on Saturday then 

I hit send and dropped my phone back on to the pile of my clothes. I didn't bother waiting for Luke to finish up, instead I hopped down stairs and helped myself to the food in his fringe which consisted of bacon, sausages, other forms of meat, eggs, drinks, beer, cheese and a few other things, including some left over pizza.
