Luke's POV

How is that even possible; for one moment I was happy, drunk from the thought of Calum loving me, and the next I felt as if nothing could ever or would ever be worse.

The image of their lips touching was insistent on replaying over and over in my mind, leaving me feeling weak at the knees and struggling to breathe. And what bothered me the most was Michael knew about my feelings for Calum, how I had stayed with him every single day at the hospital telling him how I loved him.

And maybe Calum did love me, but he loved Mikey just that little bit more.

I had ran away, as far as I could down the hall, and reached a door where they probably wouldn't look. I hadn't bothered to think before barging straight in. But I regretted it the minute I saw.

'Cal, you'll be fine.' Michael reassured Calum as he pressed the bandage down over his arm.

'No I won't, no one will ever love me. after what I've done, who would?' Calum looked down in shame, tracing his fingers gently over his plaster.

Michael muttered something incoherent, ruffling his hair nervously.

'What?' Calum said, looking him in the eyes. Michael swayed on his feet slightly, debating whether or not to repeat himself. But he did.

'I do! I love you, okay?'

And then they were kissing, his hands in Calum's hair and Cals were resting on his hips.

'Stop! Please, just...stop.' I shouted, but my voice was coming out as a whisper. I hadn't known that they liked each other, it wasn't made obvious to me.

And I decided I would never leave this room, the memory in this place less painful than the thought of Cal not loving me too.

Calum's POV

"This is all. your. fault." I shouted at Michael, hitting his chest with anger at every word. "How could you? How could you do this to me?" I cried, the energy draining out of me with every sob. Michael reached out to hug me, in attempt to sooth me in any sort of way, but I jumped back in disgust. 'Don't. Don't touch me.' I spat, sinking down onto my knees.

'But-'

'Just stop.' I rethought something, realising he was in my head. 'Get OUT!' My voice was trembling and tears were pouring down my face, but I didn't care as I stood, pushing him towards the door and out. But before I could continue any further down the corridor, Michaels figure started to flicker. I frowned, seeing Michael collapse in pain on the floor and a look of agony over take his face. And then he had disappeared completely, as if I had erased him from my mind forever.

Had I?

I just screamed, and I wouldn't stop even when my chest hurt and my head was spinning. Because I had no idea if Michael was still alive.
