Negative Space (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 34 - He's Not Calum

Luke's POV

Shit. Shit. Shit. This can't be happening right now. We already have two people with amnesia, we can't have another one!

"Cal, do you really not know her?"

"Dude, if I did, do you really think I would react this way?! I don't even know why you're here! You're supposed to be in London." He exclaimed.

London? It's been almost a year since I went home from London.

"Calum, how old are you?"

"Seventeen. Luke, we're the same age!" Oh God. The last thing he remembers was two years ago. "Luke?"

I groaned, "Oh my God, Cal. You're smart, okay? So everything I will tell you, you have to understand it." He nodded and I continued. "You're 19. It's 2017. I think you have amnesia."

He looked at me weirdly, "So you're saying that I lost two years of my life?"

"No! I'm saying that, you forgot two years of your life, so you have to remember them, because the last year was the best year of your life. You're now in college in NYU-"

"NYU?! I was supposed to go to Harvard."

"Yeah, well, you changed your mind. You have a girlfriend-"

"Malia?" Oh shit. He better not think Malia's his girlfriend, June's going to be so heartbroken.

This couple doesn't really have a rest day, huh?

I shook my head and pointed at sleeping June. Oh God, this is going to be a mess when she wakes up.

"No. No no no no. It has to be Malia. If she's here, why the hell isn't she my girlfriend?! It makes no sense." Shit. Seventeen year old Calum was the worst, it was like he was just ending puberty that time.

He was whiny and moody, I can even feel it even if I was in London.

Before I could continue, the rest of our friends entered the room and they all celebrated when they saw Calum was sitting up and awake.

"You okay now, bro? Ruth would want her godfather healthy." Michael placed the paperbags on the table beside June. "You haven't woken June up?" He was about to shake her but I stopped him.

He looked at me confused. Calum speaks, "Malia." Oh God, this is not going to end well.

Malia walked closer to Calum, "Are you feeling better? The boys said you love orange juice so much, we bought you dozens."

"Thank you." Calum smiled at her and placed his hand around her waist, pulling her a bit closer. Malia got startled but gave in anyway.

Calum called me and I moved closer. He whispered, "Are they my friends? The other guy looks familiar but the curly guy doesn't."

"What does he mean by 'are they my friends?'" Malia heard and they all looked at me.

"Uh, yes, Cal. That's Michael, Mikhaela, and Ashton. They're our friends."

They all looked confused and being in the hot water isn't helping for me.

"Oh my God." Mikhaela gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

I sighed and told everyone the truth. "Calum doesn't remember anything two years prior." I should've seen this coming.

He was in a car crash and the doctor said he has severe head trauma, it's just logical that he has amnesia.

"You're fucking with me, right? Please tell me you're joking, if you are, then this is one sick joke." Ashton exclaimed, finally putting the drinks down on top of the small fridge.
