"I'm a pro at this Avery." Calum smiles as lines appear on the sides of his eyes. I've never seen him so happy.
"Yeah, maybe because you've been doing it all day." I give a light smirk as I grab the bag of M&M's from his hand. "And I suggest you stop because this is the last pack I'm buying you."
"Come on Avery, you try." Calum smiles big again as he throws an M&M into the air for me to catch. I obviously don't catch it and let it fall onto the boring hospital floor.
"I'm not a pro like you Calum, and stop wasting these M&M's." I scold him like a mother would do to her son.
"I can obviously tell, mom." Calum sends a devilish grin my way before throwing yet another M&M up into the air and catching it in his mouth. "You don't have the skills."
"Speaking of your mom, does she know about all of this?" I question, scooting my chair closer to his hospital bed.
"Of course she knows."
"What does she think about it?" I question even further.
"Let's not focus on the negatives right now." He finishes off his last M&M before placing his hand on top of mine.
"But-" I'm cut off by the nurse walking in. She's cut me off a lot today actually. She's probably the rudest nurse I've ever encountered.
"I'm here to check up on Calum, and you have another visitor." The nurse speaks, poking her nose into the air.
"Who's here? I don't have friends." Calum lightly chuckles as the nurse walks in and another figure walks in after her.
"Hello Avery." Luke walks in, almost like nothing is wrong. What the actual fuck?
"What are you doing here?" I get up from my seat and walk over to Luke.
"I'm here to talk to you about all of this shit." Luke whispers into me ear, letting his warm breath linger against my neck as he pulls me into a hug.
"Can we not do this here?" I whisper back, looking back at Calum who looks slightly terrified.
"We won't do it here," Luke grips on to my wrist tightly, too tightly. "We'll do it out there." Before I can protest, Luke is dragging me out of the small room.
"Why are you being so-" I pause as I finally free my hand from his death grip.
"So what, Avery?" His voice raises to a louder tone.
"So intimidating, so different." Luke is not being himself right now and it's scaring me, to be honest.
"Well maybe me being intimidating and different will knock some fucking sense into you." Luke's fist clench hard at his sides.
"Luke, please calm down." I plead, lightly placing my hand on his chest.
"Don't fucking-" Luke cuts himself off as he throws my hand off his chest. He steps further and further away from me, leaving me further away on an idea to calm him down.
"Luke," I pause for a second, deciding whether or not I should even try to get closer to him again. "Why are you being like this? What's wrong?" My feet finally move on their on own closer to him, but they are moving at a very slow pace.
"What's wrong? Avery, you are with fucking Calum. A guy who I fucking despise. You know I don't want you with him or even around him, and if you had any kind of respect or loyalty towards me, you wouldn't be here." Luke flails his arms around in a frustrated motion.
"Luke-" I begin but yet again, he cuts me off.
"No Avery, I'm done with all of this bullshit." Luke pauses, running his hands through his blonde hair frustratedly.
"Look," He comes closer to me, closing the thick gap of space that was once between us. "I'm giving you two options right now." Luke's cold hand is placed on my cheek, causing a shiver to course through my body. "You come with me right now, and leave Calum," He pauses and I can't help but to feel my body tense up at the first option. "Or you could stay here, with him." His head nods towards the room that Calum is held hostage in until he gets better. "If you choose to stay here, please do not bother to talk to me. I want nothing to do with you if you choose to stay here with him, and leave me, the one who loves you with all I have. It's all up to you Avery." And right at that moment, my heart is torn.
"Luke, you can't do this to me. You can't-" Luke cuts me off as I shake my head continuously.
"Avery, just choose. It's either me or him." I stare into Luke's eyes, noticing that hint of hurt that I tend to always see.
Hurt. I hurt Luke a lot. Too much. If I wasn't with him, he wouldn't have to deal with this constant hurt. He wouldn't have to deal with me.
Being with Luke isn't only hurting Luke, but it's hurting Calum as well.
If right now, if I stay with Calum, two people won't be hurting anymore. But there is really one question. Do I want to let go of Luke? Do I want to leave my first love?
"I can't do this anymore, and I need you to choose, right now." The pain is clear in the boy's voice.
"Luke, I-"
Should I listen to my heart, or my mind? Should I let go of Luke, the love of my life?
"Avery, tell me right now, what do you choose?"
"I-I need to stay Luke."
"Are you sure, Avery?" No.
I can tell he's about to breakdown.
"I need to stay."
Luke doesn't say anything. All he does is press his lips to my forehead, and walks away. That's when I knew it was the end. I knew I wouldn't feel his lips anymore. I knew it was the end.
I went with my head, and not my heart. As I stand in the empty hallway, I ponder whether that was the best decision.
Stupid head, stupid heart.
Stupid love.
