Its been two whole months and I've been able to keep this thing a secret. Its been hard believe me, Bekah has almost made me crack a few times, but I've been able to keep my cool.
Every now and then the doctor has scolded me for talking to her still, like I give fuck. I love that girl and I will do whatever is possible to win her over.
Until then I will wait patiently in the friend zone, watching every fuck-boy come in and out every now and then.
Ryan's schizophrenia has been getting worse and worse as the days go by. He's been to the hospital a total of three times in this time span.
It's been hard on Bekah, and it's hard to see her this way, which makes it even harder to keep this a secret. The doctor doesn't know if he'll make it passed 25 at this rate. Which means B will out live her twin.
I know it's going to be hard for her in many ways and now its only been 2 weeks since he's been out of the hospital.
Everyone is worried Ryan will have to make another trip to the hospital, and their not sure if he'll make this time.
***
Now I sit in this hell-whole they call a doctors office. Twice a week for three months. I've been doing this for three months and its killing me.
They treat you like shit here, and Dr. Rajue keeps telling me that the longer I wait to tell Bekah, the longer I have to be here.
It rediculous and I hate it. I hear my name called over the intercom, which is mean it's my turn to see the doctor.
As I'm walking down the everlasting hall, I see a tallish, pale guy with dyed red hair walking down the hall.
He bumps into me and gives me this smug look that makes my insides turn.
***
After my meeting with the doctor, I drive myself home in my rusty old pickup truck.
As I'm driving home I get a text from Bekah asking me to come over. I pull into her driveway and meet Bekah at her front porch.
"Hey, B. What's wrong." The look on her face sends chills down my back.
"It's Ryan. He's freaking out again. All I did was ask him if he wanted some pizza and he flipped out. Now he's got himself locked in the bathroom, talking to one if his friends." I run inside and head to her upstairs bathroom.
After knocking a few times without getting a reply, I finally speak up. "Ryan, it's just me. Calum, you know, Bekahs friends." No answer.
"Come on Ryan. Open the door buddy. You can't just hide in there." Still no answer. I run down stairs to tell Bekah and she tells me to get back up there and take down the door.
I run upstairs and notice that the hinges are on the outside if the door, which means I can't kick it in.
I hurry down stairs to get a screw driver so I can take the door off the wall. Once I make it passed the door, I see Ryan passed out on the floor.
"Rebekah call 911 now!" I yell down stairs as I try to feel for a pulse. Luckily, he has one still.
"Bekah hurry up here please!" Before I could finish my sentence I feel her standing behind me.
"Did you call?" She responds with a simple nod. I look at her and know that she feels uneasy. I stand up to give her a hug to assure her she will be fine.
We then hear the sirens outside the house. I jolt down the stairs and let the medics in. I show them to where is Ryan and before we know it he's in the back of an ambulance once again.
I hug Bekah once again, but this time she doesn't hug back. "B, we will go see him soon. Lets just wait for your parents to get home." I release my grip on her, and she looks at me and shakes her head.
"It's not Ryan, Cal. It's you." What Is she talking about? She looks at me with a disappointed look on her face.
"I got a call from your doctor. He said I need to stay away from you." My eyes widen and that's when I knew I messed up. "You where supposed to stay away from me Calum. Why didn't you listen to your doctor?! This I how bad thinks happen!"
"I can explain everything." I lie. I don't even know where to begin. She look at me as if she's waiting for it.
"B, I love you. Not like you think I love you. Not like the oh he's my best friend I love him way, the I can't go a day without thinking about you way. The your perfect in every way for me way. I need you in my life. And let everyone know, I don't give a fuck. I'm in love with you Rebekah Renee King, and I'm so fucking fucked up, but you keep me sane. I'm lucky to have you in my life, and I can't have you not in it." I'm glad I got that off my chest, but before I know it Bekah is crying.
I feel my face get hot "Oh, sorry I'm dumb. Forget I said that." She looks up at me and smiles. God, this girls is so confusing.
"Calum Thomas Hood, shut up and kiss me." I do as I'm told, and for the first time in forever, I'm happy.

Okay so there's a long update because I wanted it to be filled with good stuff and I hoped you liked it.
So, as for the picture above, that's how I picture Bekah. And I also made a new cover because I'm weird and get bored with things quickly, but I actually like this one.
As for Calum. He opened up fully to Bekah in this chapter and that's why I love this chapter so much. He put his whole heart out to her not knowing if she would take it or not.
As for Bekah. The doctors office called her and told her about everything, and she was willing to love him and take his love and hold it with everything she has.
As for ME! I'm sorry I took forever to update and that this authors note is long af but y'all got a long update which you deserve!
Tell me what you think of the new cover and all that ish!
XOXO
