Summary: you'd been studying for hours so Calum invites you to watch films with him and the boys. 

The constant scratching of your pen against the cheap notebook was slowly sending you insane, and it didn't help when every now and then you would hear the laughter of the four boys in the front room of the apartment you shared with Calum

The constant scratching of your pen against the cheap notebook was slowly sending you insane, and it didn't help when every now and then you would hear the laughter of the four boys in the front room of the apartment you shared with Calum.

As much as you wished you could join your friends, you knew that this paper was more important, and if you failed it, you wouldn't be able to pursue your dreams. The lack of sleep was apparent from the dark circles that surrounded your eyes which had been trained on the notebook for hours on end.

Even if you wanted to sleep, it would've been made impossible by the stacks of paper that littered your bed, which you'd only just managed to get into a correct order. Your head was pounding, but you were determined to finish studying before you went downstairs to take an aspirin, afraid of losing your train of thought.

The sound of steps approached your room, but you didn't break away from your trance until three knocks resounded throughout your room.

"Come in," you mumbled, unsure if anyone actually heard you, but the door creaked opened anyways. You looked up to see Calum standing in the doorway, his sweats hanging low as a black t-shirt adorned his torso.

"Hey, we were gonna order some pizza, and I was wondering if you wanted anything." He smiled, his eyes sympathetic as you continued to stress over the paper.

"Pepperoni, please." You smiled, reverting your eyes back to the draft of the paper that you'd been working on. "Oh, my purse is in the kitchen, take a ten to cover the pizza."

"Don't worry, my treat." He smiled before turning away. You were expecting him to return to the boys,  but instead, he stopped and turned back towards you. You glanced up at him with raised eyebrows, wondering why he was still there.

"Do you wanna come watch some movies with us?" he asked, a smile gracing his features as his eyes traveled over the scrunched up paper that littered the floor.

"I would love to, but I really need to finish this paper." You smiled weakly, desperate to get back in your zone before you lost your train of thought. But Calum still didn't leave.

"Y/N, you haven't slept in days. You need a break, just one film and then you can come back to your paper with a fresh mind," Calum sighed, his eyes pitiful as he took in your tired features.

"Cal, I don't know. This paper has to be submitted in two days and I'm nowhere near finished," you huffed, giving him a tired smile.

"And you're not going to be able to do any good work when you're half asleep now, are you?" he quipped, making you huff before pulling yourself up; knowing you were fighting a losing battle.
