Calum’s POV
I wake up and notice someones arms are wrapped around me. I open my eyes and see that Luke and I are cuddling. I gently remove Luke’s arms and quietly get up, careful not to wake Luke.
I head up to Chloe’s room and enter. I see that their still asleep and that they are cuddled up in each others arms. I shake her awake and she brings her arm up, accidently punching me in the eye.
“Ah fuck!” I shout, falling to the ground.
Chloe sits up and looks at me worriedly, “Oh shit, I’m so sorry Calum!” She says, running off to grab some ice.
Mikey bends down and looks at my eye, “That’s gonna be a shiner!” He comments.
Chloe comes back with the ice and looks at my eye, handing me the ice, “Shit, that looks painful! I’m so sorry, Calum, I thought you were Nicki.” She tells me.
I put the ice on my eye and wince a bit, “‘S all good, I’ll just have to wear sunglasses at the interview today.” I say.
“Fuck, you have an interview today?! I’m so fucking sorry Calum, I feel really horrible!” She explains.
“Chloe, I’m gonna be fine. It’ll make for an interesting story!” I reply, chuckling.
I run up to my room and grab some sunglasses and a beanie. I slip them on and head downstairs and Luke has a confused look on his face as he get up off the couch.
“Why the fuck are you wearing sunglasses in the house?” He asks.
“I went to wake Chloe up and she ended up punching in the eye. I have a nice shiner now. But, it’ll make a good story at the interview today, though.” I reply.
Luke walks over to me and takes off my sunglasses, “Damn, she’s got an arm on her!” He comments.
I decide to have Luke snap a picture of me and I sent the picture to Ashton.

Damn man, how’d you do that?
To: Ash
I went to wake up Chloe and she accidently punched me in the eye. It’ll make for an interesting story at the interview today.
From: Ash
Damn, that’s girl got an arm on her.
I laugh and head back up to Chloe’s bedroom. I needed to tell her something and I didn’t know if I could trust anyone else. Well, I could trust Ash, but he’s not here at the moment.
I knock on the door and I hear movement, then the door opens.
I’m twiddling my thumbs, “What’s up, Calum? Why are you so nervous?” Chloe asks, opening the door wider.
“I need to talk to you about something.” I say.
“Of course you can, Cal.” She says.
Mikey gets up, “I’ll be downstairs, baby.” He tell her, pecking her on the lips.
She sits on the bed, patting the spot next to her. I shut the door behind me and go to sit next to her.
“I think I’m gay.” I blurt out.
“Cal, I’m not gonna judge you and neither of the boys, if that’s what you’re worried about.” She tells me.
“Okay. But there's something else, I like Luke. But, he’d never like me, cause he’s straight.” I tell her.
“You should totally tell him.” She replies.
“Um, no thanks. He’s gonna be grossed out and then he’ll never talk to me again.” I state.
“Calum, you should just talk to Luke and tell him.” She tells me.
“I don’t know!” I say, unsure.
“Trust me, you won’t regret it!” She says, smiling.
“I’ll think about it.” I say.
I exit the room and go get ready to the interview. Luke comes into the room and rips off his shirt. He seems angry, but he digs through his dresser to find a different shirt.
“Luke, are you okay?” I ask.
“I’m fine.” He grunts.
“No, you’re not, tell me what’s wrong.” I say.
“I said I’m fucking fine, Calum. Just drop it, alright!” He shouts.
“God, I was just trying to be nice! If that’s how you’re going to treat your best friend, then fine. Fuck you, Lucas Robert Hemmings!” I shout.
I give him the finger and run out, tears running down my face. I hear everyone shouting my name, but I keep running. Why would he shout at me like that? I thought we were best friend and told each other, but I guess not. I can feel my phone vibrating, but I just ignore it. I find a hotel and check into a room. I power off my phone and fall asleep.
