The serial killer - Calum (part 9)

Calum's P.O.V

Calum opened the door to his bedroom and saw Y/N still lying asleep on his bed. He sighed as he pulled up a chair and sat next to her. He gently took her hand and intertwined their fingers before pressing his lips against the back of her hand.

"It's been three days since Ashton tried to kill you. You're alive, but only just and you haven't woken up since it happened." He muttered.

"I'm sorry that this ever happened. I shouldn't have taken you, I should have just left you alone because if I would have, you wouldn't be fighting for your life." He mumbled. He looked up at her as he kissed her hand again. He started to notice just how beautiful she was when she was asleep. The way that her hair fell slightly over her face and how the ends curled around her shoulders. The way that her lips still looked delicate and soft, even if they were slightly chapped. He smiled gently at her.

"You know, you look like an angel in disguise right now." He chuckled quietly. He sighed as he looked down.

"Please wake up. I'm not sure how, but somehow, I've fallen for you, and Luke thinks that you've fallen for me too." He choked.

"Is it true? Have you fallen for me?" he asked, looking up at her. Nothing. He sighed and looked back at her hand that was still joined with his.

"Of course it's not. Why would it be?" he shrugged to himself.

"Don't worry, babe, whether or not you have fallen for me, I'm going to take care of you. Luke and I are going to take care of you because Ashton wants to hurt you and frankly, Michael doesn't care." He mumbled.

"I need to go now, baby girl, I'll be back soon." He spoke.

"I love you." He choked. He sighed to himself before pecking her cheek and walking to the door. He shut it and walked out to where the others were. Luke looked at him hopefully.

"She's still asleep." He mumbled, making Luke's face drop and his eyes waver. Calum leant against the sofa, gripping the back cushions with his hands.

"Guys, we need to talk about what happens when she wakes up." He spoke.

"If she wakes up." Ashton mumbled.

"No, Ashton, when." He spat, glaring at him.

"What is there to discuss? Once she wakes up, we recruit her." Luke shrugged.

"I have another idea." Calum spoke.

"Which is?" Michael asked. Calum sighed.

"We let her go." He announced. The boys' eyes widened and Ashton shot up.

"It's bad enough that you didn't let me kill her, and now you're saying that we let her go if she wakes up?!" he scoffed.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Look, she's only twenty, she has the rest of her life ahead of her, we don't have the right to take that away from her-."

"That's not what you thought when it came to the other victims." Michael cut in. Calum glared at him before turning his gaze to the final boy.

"Luke?" he asked. Luke just looked down.

"Okay, then. It's decided. We let her go as soon as she wakes up. No further discussion." He decided. The others just stared at him.

"Good." He nodded before pushing off from the sofa and walking away.
