calum did as promised and knocked on my door at six o'clock the next night.

i greeted him and watched as he took his pack of smokes and placed them on the coffee table.

"i'm done," he stated.

"what?" i squinted my eyes at him.

"i'm done smoking, i'm gonna completely quit," he repeated.

"you can't just quit cigarettes, it takes time and effort," i crossed my arms over my chest.

"and why is that?" calum questioned.

"because you're addicted," i scoffed.

"and why can't i just stop being addicted?" he raised an eyebrow.

"because your body feels like it needs it to function, your mind needs it to function, you're not used to life without it. if you quit cold-turkey you're gonna go through awful withdrawl," i explained.

"it's funny," calum laughed sadly and walked towards the door.

"what?"

"it's the same way with love."
