Chapter 5

After a lot of courage, I jumped off of the train after Luke. We had about a thirty minute walk until we made it to a nice neighborhood. Honestly it wasn't very fancy, nor was it very "low class". But that doesn't bother me at all.

After another five to ten minutes of walking, we finally walk up a drive way and to a front door. Luke knocked three times in a row. After about a sixty second wait, Luke was going to knock again, but before he could, the door was opened.

"Luke." The guy, who had answered the door, smiled.

He shared the same accent as Luke.

"Hey." Luke said after him, pulling him into a hug.

As the guy leaned forward, his eyebrows furrowed together when he noticed me for the first time. He released from the hug. "I didn't know you were bringing someone." He said.

"I told you I was bringing my new traveling bud, Calum." Luke explained.

"Yes, I thought you were talking about Molly." Calum said through gritted teeth.

"Why would I replace Molly, with Molly?" Luke scoffed.

"Well, I thought you were talking about my replacement, who would be Molly."

"Well mate, I wasn't."

Calum sighed as he moves to the side for us to walk in.

"Here, let me take your bag, babe." Calum said.

"Uh, thanks." I mumbled.

What am I supposed to say? It already seems as if he doesn't want me here.

He took the bag and put clung it to his shoulder, the same way Luke did to his own.

"You're going to have to give me a couple minutes, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't set you up anywhere to sleep." He said to me, then looked at Luke. "You're going to have to sleep on the couch."

"Why can't I sleep with Nezbit?" He asked.

"You sleep with-" Calum stopped when he looked at me. "Eh, yeah, sure."

He lead us down a hallway, and into a room.

He sat my bag down. "Luke, you know what to do." He said, "Have you taken a shower, babe?"

"No." Luke answered for me.

It's was kind of an embarrassing thing, like, I hadn't took a shower. Although, it didn't seem to bother Calum.

"Come on." He said.

I followed him to a bathroom.

It was nice, I notice all the feminine products.

"You can use all of Sarah's things if you want. Here's her shampoo, here's her conditioner, here's her body wash, and I'll go get you the rest of the stuff you need." He said.

I nod before stepping aside for him to leave the room to do as he said he would.

He returned with a towel, a one of those body scrub things, and my bag.

"We had a couple extra of these." He said referring to the the body scrub.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"I didn't catch your name." He said.

"Nezbit." I answer.

"How long have you known Luke, Nezbit?"

"Calum?" Luke's voice said in the crack of the door.
