~Brooklyn

Calum has been going through another downfall again, today.

I didn't realize the affect that Quinn had on him was this strong.

Something that we'll never have,

I sit on his bed next to him, not saying anything to him, because if I say something I could say the wrong things to hurt him even more.

I just wish he wouldn't hurt like this. Ever. No one should ever go through something like this.

"I can't " He would mumble. "I can't be without her"

I would try to bring myself to hug him, but I knew he would reject me, so I didn't.

"I miss you" He paused. "I miss you"

And I couldn't help but feel jealous when moments like these happened.

Just knowing that the person you love, is in love with someone else who's not even here.

But I can't blame nor judge him. I don't know what he's going through, or what he has been through.

"I love you" He cried out to her. "Can't you hear me?"

"Calum" I thought about saying. "Don't cry, she's in a better place now"

"Come back... Please" He paused. "I'm hurting"

"Calum" I said quietly.

"Why'd you leave me?" He sobbed more.

"Calum" I said once again.

He stood up, and wiped his eyes with his arm.

"I'm sorry Brooklyn." He said

"Don't be sorry" I managed to let out.

I hate seeing him like this. He doesn't deserve any of it. I know he's going to get better. It's just going to take some time.

"No. I am truly sorry." He paused

"What?" I questioned.

"I miss her too much"

"I-I know" I stuttered.

"Why'd she leave me, Brooklyn?" He asked me.

"Calum. I-I don't know"

"That's the thing. Nobody know's" He said. "And, I'm stuck here wondering this for the rest of my fucking life"

"Calum, I truly wish I could help" I took a breath. "I wish I could"

He quickly pulled me into a tight embrace. His hands interlocked around my back, with his head buried in my chest.

"Help me" He cried out. "Please"

"Shh" I said quietly. "Calm down"

I kissed his forehead.

"Can you lay with me please?" He begged.

I nodded my head, as he pulled away from our embrace laying down on his bed, me laying next to him.

"She hurt me" He whispered.

"I know" I mumbled.

His arms wrapped around my waist again, but this time tighter.

"No you don't" He paused "Yes her killing herself hurt me. But that's not the main reason why"

"Then what is it?" I asked softly.

"She told me she would never leave me" He said in between sobs. "No one ever keeps their promises... Ever"

I kissed him, and he responded a little later with a kiss back. I pecked his lips before pulling away.

"I needed that" he gave a soft smile.

I smiled back at him.

"I just wish it wouldn't be like this" I said.

"I know"

"I don't like seeing you cry, Calum. I know she's gone, but you can't just dwell on the past. Whatever she did Calum, she always will love you okay. Just trust me"

"I love you Brooklyn"
