this wasn't supposed to happen. calum had another rough day at work and decided to go to the bar. he tried not to drink a lot, but tonight was an exception.

some random guy had came up to him and dumped an alcoholic beverage on him, which sent him over the edge. he got up for the bar stool and swung. calum and the guy ended up fighting and the cops were called. both of them were arrested and taken to the nearest police department.

calum sat in the holding cell, his head in his hands. he was in pain but he was trying to act like it didn't bother him. he didn't know what to do. he had nobody to call besides luke and his family.

"hood, your turn," the officer said, opening the cell so he could go to the phone. he dialed luke's number off the top of his head.

"hello?" the younger boy said from the other end, confused at who was calling him at this time of night.

"luke, it's calum. im in trouble. ill explain later. can you come get me," calum rambled, slurring his words due to the alcohol and concussion.

"calum, what the heck?!" luke yelled into the phone, rubbing his temple with his free hand.

"please? i have my wallet in my car and my credit car is in it. if you go get it from the bar that's downtown by that fancy restaurant it should work," the tan boy said, tapping his foot against the ground.

"i'll be there soon," luke hung up the phone, pulling a pillow over his face and screamed. he got out of bed and went into his parent's room.

"i have to go get calum," he whispered and when neither answered he took it as a yes.

while luke drove to the car and got calum's wallet, calum sat in the cell, hoping that luke wouldn't be mad.

"hood, you're free to go," the officer said, leading calum out of the back and to the front where a tired and angry luke stood.

luke stormed out of the building, calum trying his best to follow behind him. the blonde boy didn't even want to talk to him. he actually wanted to just punch him in the face.

the blonde got into the drivers seat, slamming the door behind himself. he scowled at calum as he got into the car.

"care to explain?" luke asked, very sassily. calum rubbed his head, sighing.

"i went to the bar after work, i was minding my own business and some guy dumped his drink on me and i lost it," calum said, pressing his head against the cold glass.

"i have school tomorrow, calum. i shouldn't be picking you up from the police department at midnight," luke mumbled. the younger boy threw tantrums sometimes and pretended to be mad, but this was different. he was actually pissed.

"i know babe," calum began but was quickly cut off.

"don't call me that, not right now. you've never called me that sober so don't call me that now that you're tipsy and a felon," luke ranted. he had enough so he began to drive to the apartment complex. he helped calum up the stairs.

once he got to the door he unlocked it for him and made calum get in back.

"good night calum. ill call you after school, don't do anything dumb," luke whispered, kissing his forehead gently.

once he was out of the building, tears fell from his eyes rapidly.
