TW?

*Callum POV*

I don't know what happened. I remember hugging Ben and not letting go, I couldn't. I remember drinking a beer and talking to Stuart, I don't know what about tho. I remember storming off and opening Chris' letters and then somehow I got into bed (in my clothes) and had a blanket over me.

That night I kept tossing and turning in my sleep.I must have been kicking Ben all night. I kept walking up at the slightest noise. It was like i was on high alert but from nothing. It was reassuring that I had Ben next to me when I woke. He looks so angelic when he's asleep.

This morning I woke about 4 and was just lying there staring at the ceiling. After a while I decide that I would just get up. I made a coffee and drank it on the sofa with the TV on. That time of morning it's just crap TV but at least it was something. I finished my coffee but was then hooked on the show I was watching and so waited until that finished! By then it was 5 and I decided that I would go for a run before work. Maybe that'll clear my head, and it'll be peaceful not seeing anyone else. I wouldn't be too long, maybe an hour, just over, idk but as I had work, I knew it wouldn't be hours.

*Ben POV*
I woke up, thanks to my watch going off (vibrating) at 7. I looked around and Callum wasn't in bed. That's unusual. I got up and went to the kitchen, he wasn't there or in the living room either. Now I started to panic. After last night's episode and him not being seen in the flat this morning, anything could have happened.  I know Callum wouldn't do anything stupid but this is the Callum I think I know. He seems good at hiding certain parts and who knows what's going through his head.

I decided to wait a bit. I made a tea but I was too nervous to drink it and so it was luke-warm when I had to down it. Cal was still not back and I started to really panic. What if he had done something bad? What if the voices had made him do something he'll regret? What is Keanu had taken someone else I love? I can't lose another boyfriend.
