*Maddie’s POV*
As I walked away, I wanted him to come after me, and tell me what I wanted to hear. But of course, he didn’t, so I sighed and went back to my bunk where I was before this had all started. Once again, I put on my headphones, and this time, managed to fall asleep.
But soon, as if I weren’t aloud to have a decent amount of sleep, I was once again shaken awake by someone. This time it was Calum, he looked very excited and was shouting my name.
«Maddie! Maddie wake up!» I just groaned and turned around. Then, he did the unexpected : he crawled into my bunk and lied attop me.
«Cal, what’re you doing?» I shrieked at the sudden weight squashing me.
«Cuddling, duh.» He said as if it were obvious.
«Cal, I’m not in the mood.» I said, trying to shift him to the side.
«There’s no such thing as not being in the mood to cuddle.» He said, looking at me with a pouty face.
«C’mere then.» I said, opening my arms and patting the side of me. He let out a happy noise, and cuddled into my side, burrying his face in the crook of my neck. «Calum, I swear, you are not an 18 year old man, you’re a 5 year old kid!» I said chuckling and wrapping my arms around his, hugging him back and getting comfy.
«But you looooooove me.» He said, giggling.
«Yes, yes I do.» I said, and closed my eyes. After a while of lying in comfortable silence, I spoke up.
«Cal?» I asked.
«Yeah babe?» He answered, probably half asleep already.
«Sing me a song?» I said, yawning.
«Okay..» He said, before pausing and starting to sing Amnesia.
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind, you didn’t need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories that never can escape
Coz’ I’m not fine at all..
And before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face and I started sobbing.
«Mad’s what’s wrong?» He interrupted his singing when he realised I was crying.
«Nothing.» I sniffled, burrying my face in his tshirt. «Keep singing.» I said, trying to stop the tears.
«Tell me what’s wrong» he said softly, placing his finger under my chin and making me look at him.
«Luke’s the problem. And then also Ashton. Or maybe I’m the problem. That’s it. I’m the problem.» I said, trying to fight back the tears, looking him straight in the eyes.
«Maddie, you are the most beautiful, nicest, most genuine, most PERFECT girl I ever met. You are absolutely perfect, and if Luke can’t see that, then fuck him! You are gorgeous, and I love you, and Ashton loves you, and Michael loves you. If Luke is too self obsessed to realise what he’s letting go, then I can tell you it’s his loss, not yours. And I’ll always be there for you, Maddie. Forever and always.» He told me, apparently meaning every word of it.
