The Angel to my Scars

Chapter 39

That night I make dinner. Just mac and cheese. "Claire, I'm turning on spongebob if you don't mind." Ashley explains as I walk into my living room.

"Not at all, I could use my daily spongebob." I explain plopping myself on the couch.

Just as last night I make the same mistake; call Calum. He finally picks up after two rings. "Hey, me again. I just needed to talk." I say softly.

"What about Ashley?"

"She's asleep."

"So, what do you want to talk about then?" he asks in almost a whisper.

"Just, what is Luke trying to tell me?"

"I don't know. Something about going on a trip on your anniversary this year."

"Oh, just, he's been trying to tell me something and I just wanted to know. Sorry for calling you so late at night for such a stupid reason." I appoligize.

"No, its fine. I'm glad you you called me actually." I hear him let out a small sigh.

"So, what's on your mind?" I ask.

"You want the truth?"

"Please?"

"Well you can't handle the truth." he says as we both laugh. "What's really on my mind, is you." I blush

"What about me?" I ask biting my lip.

"How much I miss and worry about you. How everytime I smile, it hurts. How when I see you with Luke, I break a little inside. I love you, Claire. I love you." I don't even realize it, until a single tear sheds from my eye and drips down my cheek. I'm not sure if its my hormones or his emotional speech.

"I- I- I love you too. I'm just not sure what to do."

"And I don't expect you to. I just want an actual chance, if you and Luke don't work out."

"You already know the anwser to that, Calum. Yes, I would give you a chance."

"Alright, better get some sleep. I love you."

"II love you too." I say just before the line goes dead. I feel that its easier now to fall asleep with the situation off my mind.

*one month later* because I ran out of ideas.

"What the fuck!?" I yell waking up to Ashley playing the trumpet I played in school.I regret bringing it to the new house with her here.

"Get up soldier! We're burning daylight!" she yells jumoing on top of me and smacking my face with a newspaper. This, is why we're best friends. "Get up our lovely boyfriends are coming home today!" I rush out of bed and grab the closest outfit I could find then just put my hair in a bun. Grabbed my keys and phone and rushed out the door. I drive at a normal pace. But before I know it, I'm at the airport. "Do you see them?" Ashley asks me as we scavenger the crowd.

"No," that's when I saw them. "There I see them!" I yell as we run to them. I literally have to jump just to hug Luke by his neck. "I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"Alright, Michael and Ashley's house anyone?" Calum suggests as we all agree.

*

"Pizza!" Michael yells walking into the living room with three boxes of pizza.

"Movie marathon?" Ashley suggests as we all agree. She then turns on Johnny English. An old movie I haven't seen in a long time.
