Calum

I sat down on my bed and sighed, my cheeks flushing when I remembered how Luke had congratulated me. Laying back, I giggled to myself.

"Luke Hemmings." His whispered name felt like sugar on my tongue. No. No, no I'm straight. I love Cathy.

"Cal? Cathy is here to see you." My mother burst into the room. I sat up quickly, the fast movement making my head spin.

"Oh, um ok. Tell her to come on in." My mother nodded and left the room as Cathy entered, wringing her hands.

"Hey, Calum." She barely looked at me before sitting down at my desk. Standing, I moved to kiss her, only to have her shy away.

"What, what's wrong?" My eyebrows furrowed, worry seeping into my veins.

"I-I-I'm l-leaving you, Calum."

"What?" I backed away, shaking my head. "N-no, you can't leave me." Her sympathetic eyes bored into my skull, making me nauseous. "Y-you can't leave me...you can't." She stood, brushing invisible dirt off her black leggings nervously.

"I-I should go, leave you to.....deal." Sighing, she left, shutting the door quietly.

I stood there, tears streaming down my face. Suddenly, my body filled with rage. I screamed, throwing my pillows and ripping my comforter open. I threw it with the pillows, feathers flying wildly.

Luke

I was walking down the street, heading to Ashton's house when I got a text from Michael.

From : love - hey babe :) you wanna come over later? ;)

To : love - sorry, I can't. Heading to Ash's now and then I have to do something for mom. Sorry babe :/

He replied a few seconds later. How in the hell does he type so fast?

From : love - oh ok. See you later! I love you!

To : love - see you later, yeah.

I felt bad about not saying it back, but I couldn't help it. I just, I just didn't feel that way yet. It's been almost a year but I can't say it back. I don't want to lie to him, but I don't want to hurt him either. I sighed and continued to Ashton's, thinking about how fucking hot it was. I longed for the harsh winds and chill of winter. It didn't get very cold, but it wasn't one hundred fucking degrees.

"Luke!" I looked up to see Calum sitting on a roof.

"Calum? What the, why are you on the roof?" He stood and went back into the house, coming back out on the front porch moments later.

"Do you, um do you wanna come in?" He crossed his arms over his chest and I could see the tear streaks on his face.

"Uh, um I'm really sorry but-"

"Please." I sighed. Ashton was waiting for me.

"Um, ok. But just for a minute, okay? I gotta get to Ashton's." I jogged up his front path, eager to get into the air conditioning and out of the heat.

"Do you want something to drink?" He led me into the kitchen, opening up his fridge.

"Uh, do you have lemonade?" He searched the shelves before shaking his head, looking back at me. "Oh, I'm fine then, thanks." He shut the fridge and came to sit next to me, fidgeting with his hands.

I stood, my cheeks heating up. "Listen, if you aren't gonna say anyth-"

"Cathy left me." He cut me off, his voice cracking.

"Who, um, who is Cathy?" I made my way back to him, resting an awkward hand on his back.

"My girlf- well, ex-girlfriend now." He turned to me, fresh tears on his face. "I just don't know what to do." His voice cracked, and he crumbled into my chest, sobbing. "I don't know..."

I pulled his face up to look at me. "Here's what you're gonna do, okay? You're gonna forget all about that girl and go on with your life because once the band takes off there's gonna be thousands, maybe millions of girls who are gonna fight to be even close to you." He sighed and nodded.

"Okay." Before I could respond, he surged up and pressed his lips against mine, winding his arms around my neck. I froze before pushing him away, hurt in his eyes.

"What the hell? I-I'm with Michael!" I stormed out of his house, but I only made it onto his front porch before it hit me. That kiss, that kiss had made me feel more than Michael ever had.

Before I knew what I was doing, I turned and burst back into his house, finding him in the kitchen and kissing him, hard.

"W-wait, what about Michael?" Calum sputtered after I pulled away.

"Michael can suck my ass."
