Untold // Calum

chapter sixteen

-Lila's POV-
it was Friday. both Calum and I laid awake and he was looking down at me in his arms. we both skipped dinner last night and I was starving. I looked up he put his arm around me. let's just say, last night was the best night of my life. I want more nights like that.. I actually now realize why Calum was so upset over my cuts. I got up and threw on some clothes. I went to the bathroom and went to the cabinets underneath the sink.
"hello old friend." I said picking up a single blade. I tossed it in the toilet and flushed. I was really proud, but I was also upset. I wanted to cry and scream. but I held back. I unlocked the door and came back in.
"come back into bed and cuddle, please baby." Calum whined.
"oh alright. just for you." I said with a smile. his big body almost engulfed me. he put his cheek over mine and it send a chill down my spine.
"guess what I did.." I said happily.
"what?" he said pulling his face off me.
"I'm done. I flushed away my blades. Cal I did it! I beat this!" and before I knew it I was crying. his whole face lit up.
"seriously! oh my god this is amazing!" he sat up and pulled me into his arms.
"I love you so much. just please always remember that." he said back. I wiped away my tears and looked down at the bracelets on my arm. he reached over to the night stand and grabbed a sharpie.
"let's see your wrist.." he said taking my hand. he ran the sharpie all over, he wouldn't let me see what he was writing, or drawing for all I knew.

-Calum's POV-
"no peeking!" I kept saying to her. I drew a fairly large butterfly over her cuts. I finally finished all the details.
"whenever your sad, or are feeling he urge to, look at your wrist and think of me." I said revealing the butterfly.
"oh my gosh, it's so pretty! I love it. and I defiantly will. your always on my mind anyways.." she said will a smile. I stood up and picked her small body up. we both went downstairs and decided to eat some breakfast. I made some really big waffles. Lila ate 2 and I was just so elated to see her eating again.
"I feel so much better now.." she said with a smile. I shot her a full smile and she giggled.
"your dimples are so cute!" she said poking my cheek.
"I have dimples? woah. yours are really cute too babe." I said back. I never knew that I had dimples. Lila had upper cheek dimples and I'm pretty sure I had regular dimples. we finished up and I took the plates and put them in the sink. before I could turn around, Lila had her head rested on my back and her arms around me.
"your so soft and cuddly. I love you." she said nuzzling my back. I put my hands on her hands, which were on my stomach. I felt my phone buzz and I took or out of my pocket.
it read:
"hey we're going to the movies and Deanna and I wanted to know if you wanted to come with?" it was Michael.
"hey babe, Deanna and Michael wants us to come with the movies with them, would you want to go?" I asked turning around.
"sure. that's sounds fun." she said with a smile. she was so happy now, she was like a completely different person.
"let's go upstairs and get dressed." I said taking her hand. I put on a white tank top and some black jeans. Lila was wearing a white tank top as well, with a flannel around her waists and jeans. we were basically matching. we slipped on our black vans and we headed out the door.

-Lila's POV-
Cal and. we're matching and that made me chuckle when I realized.
"what's so funny?" he said with a small giggle as well.
"we're matching!" she said pouting to my shirt.
"yeah, I noticed when we were getting dressed haha." he said back. the drive to the theater was quite short. we met them both outside the entrance.
"hey guys!" Deanna yelled.
"heyy." we said in unison. Michael kissed Deanna's cheek and grabbed her hand as he made his way to the ticket center. we trailed behind them.
"what do you guys want to see? a scary movie or a comedy?"
"a scary movie." we all said. I've always hated scary movies, but I had Calum with me, so I felt okay.
"okay so we are seeing Unfriended in theater 3." Michael said.
we all nodded in agreement and headed inside. I was shivering, it was freezing. I clung to Calum like a 5 year old. the movie started and it seemed pretty nice. and then it hit the scary part. I covered my eyes and looked away as Calum rubbed my back.
"heyy it's okay I'm right here." he said in a whisper reassuring me. I guess I was okay. but I still had Cal's hand in mine the entire time. I was afraid to let go.
