CHAPTER 30

- Skylar's POV-

"Luke, you seem tense." I said when we were pulling into his driveway.

He shrugged. "I'm just tired, working out you know?"

I smiled, nodding slightly. "Well, thanks for coming with me."

He nodded, opening his door. "I'll see you soon."

I drove back home in the silence. Luke will be fine. Like he said, I need to stop worrying so much.

Once I pulled up to my own place, I sat there for a minute. What was I going to do for the rest of the day?

I could try to talk to Calum, we weren't exactly on good terms. Maybe even Danielle or Jade. Iris, even.

I pulled out my phone, quickly sending a text to Hannah to let her know where I would be.

I drove to Calum's house quickly. I knocked on his door, greeted by him.

"Oh, uhm, hello." He said awkwardly.

"Hi." I said back. I knew this would be odd.

He cleared his throat. "Do you- do you want to come in?"

"Sure." He moved to let me walk in.

We stood quietly in the kitchen, the silence awkwardly long.

"What brings you here, exactly?" Calum said, breaking the silence.

"I wanted to talk," I said, trying to think of an excuse. I really missed my best friend. "We kind of left on the wrong foot."

"Yeah, I'm very sorry. I didn't want to lie to you," he shook his head. "It just kind of happened."

"I understand, it must be odd having your best friends together," I said. "Speaking of which, how are you and Iris?"

Calum's look softened, it looked like he was going to cry. "She, uhm, broke up with me."

"Oh Calum, I had no idea, I'm so sorry."

He shrugged, still close to tears. "She met some guy at a party."

"What a bitch." I shook my head.

He chuckled lightly. "Whatever, right? I mean its not like we even had sex or did anything, really."

"That's okay, right?"

"Yeah," He said quietly. "Let's just not talk about it."

"Okay, sure." We went to his living room where Calum flopped down on the couch.

"Hey, Calum, can I ask you something?" I said after a brief silence.

"What?" He asked, sitting up slightly.

"Do you know anything about Luke's friend Michael?" I looked over to him.

"Yeah," he nodded. "We were going to start a band. He was an amazing guitar player, and singer."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah. Pure punk rock material. His girlfriend Grace was an absolute sweetheart. You would've loved her," Calum's smile soon faded a little,"Michael and Grace got in a car accident when they were driving back to their city which is like an hour away."

"Oh no." I shook my head.

"Grace is still alive, but Michael didn't make it. It happened a couple months ago, but I haven't heard from her."

"That's terrible." I said sadly.

Calum nodded. "I've been thinking about calling her, just to check up."

"Maybe you should." I said. Calum grabbed the remote, switching the tv on.

"Any movie you wanna watch?" He said, clicking on random buttons.
