"Can we talk?"

I looked at Calum standing outside my door. His eyes looked lifeless, and he also looked very tired.

"About what Calum?" I gulped. I shifted to my other leg, and looked at him.

"I just need to explain myself to you. After that you don't ever have to hear a word from me again"

"There is nothing to explain, okay?" I said slowly closing the door, but Calum stopped me.

"Yes there is. I just need to get this off of my chest"

I sighed , letting him in as he followed me to the couch, and we both sat.

"I don't know what actually made me come here today" he spoke.

"..And I don't know what actually made me let you in" I said, pulling my knees to my chest.

"I get it, you're still mad" Calum said.

"It's not that I'm mad Calum, I just feel so used up. I tried to be on your good side, and I always failed. Yes we had our moments, but other than that it was just ..." My voice trailed off.

"Like I didn't love you" he said quietly

"Yeah" I replied to him.

"It's not that I didn't" Calum said.

"Then what was it?" I asked angrily.

"It was just that... I didn't know how" he said in a low whisper.

I looked up at him to see tears forming in his eyes, but he quickly wiped them, focusing on me. He gave a soft but embarrassing smile.

"This is really embarrassing, I'm sorry" He nervously laughed. "But it hurts me to say I miss you"

"Why?" I questioned

"Because you don't want anything to do with me. I know you don't. I just tried forcing you out of my mind, and pushing you to the back of my head, but in return I realized I was only hurting myself even more than losing you was"

"Calum, I" I paused not knowing what to say.

"You don't have to say anything. I just want you to know I miss you, and I love you" Calum got up, and bent down placing a soft kiss on my cheek. Then he quietly exited my house.

It hurts me to say...

I miss him too.
