The next morning when Luke woke up, he had a cold, he was sneezing violently, his nose running every second and his body burning up, he grabbed his phone and rang Calum.
"Morning Sweetheart." He hummed, Luke sniffled and curled up in his blanket "I'm not well, is it okay if I take the day off?" He mumbled softly, closing his eyes as he heard a sigh from the other end of the phone, Calum spoke "Alright, get well soon, baby, I'll come over later Yeah?" Luke grinned and nodded, although Calum couldn't see "Okay, daddy." He hummed, before hanging up and rolling over, closing his eyes for a while.
After a couple hours Luke woke up, he felt a bit better, he got out of bed and showered, before shoving some clothes on, he text Calum saying he was going to come in for the remaining hours so he wouldn't have to catch up on much the following days.

When Luke arrived her looked around, watching all of the people typing away furiously, he made his way to Calums office, opening the door, he stood at the door, stunned to see a girl, sat in the place that he was days prior, his face dropped, Calum came out of his moaning trance, his eyes shooting towards Luke, he pushed her off and zipped his pants up, earning a complaint from the girl, he stepped forward, Luke stepped back.
"I quit, Calum."
With that Luke ran out of the office, he ran to the elevator, pressing the button furiously, he heard Calum not far behind him, his eyes burning as he tried not to let the tears fall out, the doors opened and he stepped in, pressing the ground bottom, the doors began closing, a hand parted them once more, Calum looked at Luke with a pleading face, Luke stayed silent and looked away.
"Baby-I- I'm sorry.." He stuttered, the doors shutting, leaving them both, Luke looked up at him, his face hard, he laughed harshly "Fuck you. I let you use me, you took advantage of me because I was quiet and I'd submit! You don't give a fuck about me! We are done, whatever happened between us is done, it's forgotten, I never want to see you again, don't contact me, I hate you!"
Calum grabbed Lukes hands, only for them to be snatched away "Luke it wasn't meant to happen! She just did it! Listen to me, please-"
"No Calum! You didn't try to stop it, you just let her! I could see in your face, you weren't trying to stop her, you were enjoying it, God...you make me so angry, why did I believe you at all? You lied to me, you made me feel good!" He cried, the tears running down his cheeks profusely, the elevator opened at the ground floor, Luke stepped out and turned to Calum.
"Goodbye, Mr.Hood."
He turned and left the building, Calum stood in the elevator, watching the boy leave as the elevator doors closed, he was so angry with himself, he groaned and kicked the walls of the elevator.

4 weeks later.

Calum sat at his desk, firing the seventh assistant he'd had in the past four weeks, once his door shut he groaned and laid his head down on the desk, he closed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair, he sat back up, grabbing his car keys, he left his office.
"Mr.Hood. Would you like me to sign you out?" the receptionist spoke sweetly, he nodded and continued walking out to the elevator
Once he'd left the building he got into his black range rover, driving to the local coffee shop, after a short drive he got out and walked inside, walking up to the cashier, she smiled at him.
"Hi Sir, I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'll get Luke to serve you, if that's alright?" she spoke enthusiastically, Calum heard the name, he just nodded and chewed on his bottom lip in anticipation, the boy, with the green apron and cap turned around, making eye contact with Calum.
"Calum.." He whispered, slowly walking towards him, their eyes still glued to eachother, he cleared his throat.
"W-What would you like?"
"You- or a black coffee is fine." He mumbled softly, Luke blushed and wrote it down "Black coffee." He mumbled, before making him pay and making his drink, Calum thanked him and left the shop, getting into his car.

At the end of Lukes shift he grabbed his coat and locked up, walking down the street, he had an uneasy feeling, almost as if he was being followed, he turned around, his eyes meeting three mens, his eyes widened as he backed away, they looked down at him
"Hello, Sweetheart." the name didn't roll off their tongue as nice as it did off Calums.
"Leave me alone, I want to go home." He mumbled, turning and walking faster, his waist was grabbed, he squealed and kicked him in the knee, "Come on, let us have some fun." He growled, Luke could smell the alcohol radiating off them, his arms were grabbed, he whimpered as he began to cry "Please get off me!" He screamed, kicking his legs.
After minuted of them teasing him and grabbing him inappropriately, Lukes body fell to the floor,he opened his eyes to see him, punching one in the face before tackling the other to the ground, the third one had ran away in terror, Calum turned and looked down at Luke, his lip was bust, blood trickling down his chin.
"Are you alright, baby?" He questioned, kneeling down to the sobbing boy, he lifted him up, the boy enveloping him in his arms "Can you take me to yours, I can't go home like this.." He trembled, mumbling quietly.
"Of course, Sweetheart." He whispered comfortingly, a small smile tugging at his lips as he held the boy.
