Spaces Between Us | A.I.

44.

- POV Calum -

Today Lili is leaving again. Her flight leaves at 4 pm and at the moment it's 10 am. We just woke up and are eating breakfast.
"Do you have everything packed already?" Michael asks her.
She shakes her head, "I still need to pack some things. The things I still need to use."
Everyone nods.

I feel someone's head rest on my shoulder and a second later I see curly blonde hair in the corner of my eyes. "I'm so tired," Luke mumps and he burrys his face in my shoulder. I chuckle and go with one hand though his blonde hair.
"You went to sleep at 2 am. So it's your fault."
He groans and yawns.

"What are you guys?" Ashton asks. I see Lili kick him from underneath the table.
"Ouch! Why did you do that?" Ashton asks.
"That's rude to ask," she says.
I just blush a little. Luke lifts up his head and looks at Ashton.
I look at Michael and he gives me a curious look.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well... Uh... It looks like something's going on between you two. But I can be wrong, I mean, it can be nothing."
Luke and I look at each other and both look away blushing.

"Oh I see," Ashton says again. "I know what's going on."
Michael looks at him with a frown, "what?"
"I think there might be blooming something between them and they both don't know."
I blush again and try to brush it off and a joke, "ppff... Funny joke, Ashton."
"I'm serious," he says. "It's obvious."
Luke sits normal again and just stares at the table.
"Ashton..." Lili says softy.

"Luke likes someone and I asked Lili if he likes a person and she said she couldn't tell and if it wasn't true she would have said no. So I think it is true," he moves on.
Luke just gets up and walks away.
"Good job Ashton," Lili says salty and she follows Luke.
"What? Someone had to say it one day," he says when she still can hear him. She just doesn't reply.
He focuses on me, "do you like Luke?"
"Ashton. Stop," Michael says.
He glances over at Michael but then focuses on me.
"Ashton. I don't know what you're doing but stop it. It's non of your business and if this is true they should figure it out themselves isn't it?" Michael moves on.

I just get up and walk away too. I hear Michael say to Ashton "are you happy now." But I ignore it and just get to the back of the bus. Luke and Lili are back here. Lili has her arm wrapped around him and is saying that Ashton is just being rude and he should ignore him.

They notice me and Lili gives me a small smile," I'm so sorry for this. I don't know why he is doing this. I think he is sad or something because I'm leaving today."
"It's fine," I say and sigh. "You can't do anything about this."
