Chasing Love

Chapter 59

Lori's POV

I woke up feeling super tired. I sat up rubbing my eyes. Then everything that happened yesterday came to my mind. Calum kissing me. Calum and I fighting. Me jumping off the bridge. Me almost dieing. Confronting Louis and him not being okay with it. I got out of bed and went to the restroom to brush my teeth. I grabbed my hair in a messy ponytail and went to the kitchen.

I made myself some coffee. I looked at the clock and noticed it was noon. Wow I'm guessing I'm not the only one who is exhausted. I walk into the living room to see Michael and Luke on the couches and Calum on the floor. I noticed him shiver a bit.

Let him be cold. You were freezing once you got out the water. He shouldn't even be in your house.

I shook my mean thoughts away and grabbed a blanket from my room placing it over Calum. I smiled at the boys in front of me. They all looked so adorable.

"It's rude to stare ya know." Michael said with his eyes still closed. A small smile made its way into his face.

"I wasn't staring, I just came to give Calum a blanket since you guys made him sleep on the floor." I said.

"Well he didn't want to sleep on the cold floor so he laid on top of the blankets." Michael said sitting up.

"Are you okay? From what happened?" He asked concerned.

"I'm fine, it's not like I died." I said shrugging.

"But that was way out of line-"

"It was a dare. I chose to do it. I never back down from a dare. I thought you knew that. Besides its not like he pushed me off, I jumped myself. It's not Calum's fault." I said sighing taking a seat next to Michael on the couch. He covered me with the blanket he had sighing too.

"Why are you even defending him?" He asked. Why am I? He kissed me when I told him not too. Louis is now mad at me. I looked over to Calum who was still asleep. His lips in a frown.

"Because." I said not knowing what else to say.

"That's not a legit answer." Michael answered.

"Well maybe I'm nicer now." I said.

"Fine whatever loser." he said standing up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To the restroom." he said leaving. I wrapped myself in the blanket. It's been cold lately.

"Thanks for defending me." Calum said opening his eyes.

"Whatever." I said putting my attention on my phone.

"I'm sorry, I really am. You don't know how bad I feel. I actually thought you had drowned. I was about to dive in to save you because I was too scared you wouldn't come out. You have no idea how terrible and guilty I feel. I just can't think about losing you. And when you didn't come out right away I started to panic. I'm so sorry, I care about you so much, believe me I do." he said looking down but I could still see the tears in his eyes.

"Hey, come here." I said softly. I felt bad. I couldn't stay mad at him. If he says he is sorry then, he means it. He got up from the floor sitting next to me and embracing me in a hug.

I felt him shaking a bit. I wrapped the blanket around the both us. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"It's okay Calum, I didn't die. And that's what's important. None of it was your fault. As I said before, I chose to do it." I said.

"I still can't help but feel guilty." he said wiping his eyes.

Michael's POV

I walked into the living to see Calum and Lorena sitting on the couch. Both of them wrapped in a blanket. Calum had his eyes closed and Lori had rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes closed as well. I mentally awed but then I snapped out of it.
