Chapter Seventeen

Calum's POV

My world tipped, tumbled, and then shattered around me. I didn't even realize I was screaming until Michael's hand was on my mouth. I screamed harder, fighting him and pushing him away from me.

Luke grabbed me and pulled me into his chest. "Calum, please stop screaming. Calum, please?" Luke asked. His words sunk in and I forced myself to stop. I slumped into Luke, breaking down completely.

No one said anything. It was as if we were all absorbing the words we had just read. The silence overwhelmed me and I started to struggle in Luke's embrace. Luke tightened his hold on me.

"Don't," was all Luke muttered in my ear. I gave up again. It was almost like I was blacking in and out. Things just spun in my head. I couldn't think straight. I didn't want to.

Michael soon joined us, crouching in front of us and holding me, sandwiching me in the middle of their embrace. I don't know how long we remained like that. Time was irrelevant at this point.

"Now what?" I scrunched my eyebrows. I wasn't even sure who said that. Was it me? Shock. That's all I could think. Nothing was really registering. As if my head was full of air and things were just passing straight through me without me actually absorbing anything.

"Do we just wait? Do we go to the police?" someone asked, maybe Luke, I wasn't quite sure. I stayed silent, the words floating in my mind but not really making much sense.

"Calum? What's wrong? Michael, what's wrong with him? Calum, please?" Luke asked, his voice now shaking with how much he was panicking. I couldn't respond, couldn't form the words to say.

"He's in shock, I think?" Michael said, questioning his own guess. Was he right? I didn't even know. Shouldn't I know what's wrong with me?

"Let me try something..." Michael spoke softly to Luke. He shifted and moved so that he was at arms length away from me and looking me in the face.

"Calum? Can you hear me? If you can, nod your head or squeeze my hand," Michael said carefully. I blinked slowly, processing what he said. I thought hard about it, making my hand grip onto Michael's.
