Calum's Boy (CAKE)

#9

Calum was worried and therefore, clingy everytime I said I was fine.

Calum brung me to work with him, just to keep an eye out

and had me sit in the backroom, telling me he'd check up on me from time to time when the store wasn't busy.

He let me occupy myself with his iPhone so I wouldn't have to make small talk with Dave who would walk in and out, getting supplies to re-stack the shelves.

Calum's Twitter entertained me with the tweets from the people he followed. I've never had a Twitter, but this guy named Harry Styles makes me want one. I actually laughed at his tweets because most of them made no sense, but I did find out he's a singer in a band called One Direction

and after searching for Calum, he handed over his headphones and I quietly slipped back into the backroom and I sat there as Dave made movements with the shifting of supplies over the song called Summer Love.

It wasn't until Dave left when Michael appeared, nearly causing me a heart attack.

He told me not to scream,

that it was okay,

that he was sorry

and maybe because I believed him once, I felt the need to believe him again.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice . . .

We were silent when Michael sat next to me and I handed him a bud.

We were silent when Calum barged in on us having a full, heated conversation about Zayn's hair.

Calum was silent when Michael was said but I told him I meant to say Ashton

and Calum dropped the subject, taking me home without a word

because he knows I'm screwing him over with all this Michael business.

With everything being fine

and me being fine

and he being fine

but nothing's fine,

not for a while it hasn't been.

But everytime I say it I want to mean it because I don't want to be the cause of ruining Calum's life.

I want to be the reason as to why people think he's crazy because he can't seem to stop smiling.

I want to be the reason as to why he longs to go home to be in his lovers arms.

I want to be the reason as to why he's content.

I want to be the only reason,

his only reason

for being happy.
