Ashton dropped Calum and I off at my house.

"Call if you need anything. And mags, I'm really sorry about Luke." He said.

"It's not your fault. And thanks, Ash." I said and got out and went and unlocked the door.

My dad was on a work trip so I was alone. Well besides Calum.

"Do you want anything to drink or eat?" I asked.

He shakes his head.

"Ok well I'm going to go get my laptop. Make yourself at home." I said.

I got my laptop and went back downstairs to see Calum sitting on my couch on his phone.

I sat down next to him and got on my laptop and went on twitter.

"People are already tweeting about it. Great. " I said. "Look what they're saying about you. People are mad at you when Luke cheated on me!!" I said.

"Mags don't worry about it. Don't worry about me." He said.

"Calum they're wrong about you" I said.

"it doesn't matter what they think of me. Why would I care what they think? I only care about my friends and family and what they think of me." He said.

"I guess that's a good thing." I said. He nodded.

"Why were you with him after he turned into a jerk?" Calum asked.

I was silent for a minute.

"I don't know. I guess I thought he would still be the same Luke after all. I don't know what I was thinking. I just can't believe he turned into one of those guys who cheats on their girlfriend and stuff. This isn't the Luke that I used to like." I said.

" I'm really sorry Maggie. You don't deserve this." he said and hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around his torso and cuddled into him.

He held me tighter.

"Thanks Calum."

It was silent. Not awkward silent. But a nice silent.

The way he held me didn't feel different or wrong. You know how a situation like this may feel wrong, well this didn't. This felt right. Like it belonged.

Like I belonged in his arms forever.

And that's when I finally admitted to myself that I love Calum Hood.
