Beside You | Luke Hemmings & Calum Hood (Cake | 5sos)

Chapter 6

*LUKE'S POV*

I woke up with Calum resting his head on my left arm cuddling into my chest. How did we end up here? How did we even end up talking in the first place? Now Im at his house with his sleeping body beside me. 

"My head hurts," Calum mumbles.

"I'm not surprised, you had quite a lot to drink," I say then quickly remember I just woke up and I don't know what the time is. I check the time and see it's only 6 o'clock. We haven't even been sleeping for a long time. 

"What happened," Calum asks in pain from his headache.

"What? When," I ask confused.

"Just now, when we got drunk," He says.

What do you remember," I ask him.

"I remember us smoking the weed, then we went down to eat cereal. After that we had some drinks and we got back upstairs and fell asleep," He tells me.

"Oh, okay. Then you remember everything," I say hiding my hurt feelings. I'm hurt because of the fact that we just had our first kiss, hell, this was probably the only kiss we'll ever have and he doesn't even remember it. 

"What's the time anyway," Calum asks with a sleepy tone and stretches.

"It's 6 pm."

 "I don't wanna leave this bed," He says and cuddles into a ball.

"I think it's time I go home," I say and get up from the bed.

"What? Why," Calum asks, upset that I've decided to leave.

"It's getting pretty late. My mom will be mad at me for staying for so long."

"Oh, okay. I'll walk you home," he offers.

"It's fine," I say

"No it's not fine, I'll walk you home," He offers again.

I stay silent and walk with him down the stairs to the front door.

He probably doesn't like me as more than a friend. Why am I even bothering with him? He's probably straighter than an arrow. I'm snapped from my thoughts with Calum hugging me from behing.

"What's wrong," he asks me. 

"Nothing," I say.

"I know something's wrong Luke, Talk to me."

"I'm fine, really." I'm not fine at all.

He lets go of the hug and starts to walk beside me. "Are you mad at me? Is it something I did," He asks. 

I don't want Calum to feel bad, but I can't just tell him that we kissed and that I'm upset because he doens't remember it. This fucking sucks.

"No," I say and look him in the eyes, "I'm fine. Really."

He finally stops asking me if I'm fine and just looks at his feet while we walk.

"Bye," I say and hug him.

"Bye."

*CALUM'S POV*

*The next morning*

I wake up with the headache still present. Hurting even more today than yester night. I go down the stairs and tell my dad that I'm not going to school today due to the excruciating pain in my head.

I go back up into my room and fall asleep.

I feel a hand on my shoulder so I wake up. "I'm going to work," my dad informs me, "I made food for you, I put it in the fridge so just heat it up when you get hungry."
