//previously from Calum's pov recent chapter//

Luke's pov

I went into the kitchen and made the coffee for me and my boyfriend, I'm so glad I can call him that now. Before I could walk back something just had to get in the way didn't it? and that something was one half of the twat twins. Chad.

Chad walked up to me with a smug look on his face, I wanted to slap it right off already "hey mate." He said, mate? is he fucking okay? "what do you want?" I asked and rolled my eyes, I really wanted to get back to Calum "see you've got yourself another boyfriend. Ah the shy and innocent fresh meat you pick on. Don't think I don't know your intentions." I guarantee I look just as much as what I felt 'what the fuck' "what the fuck are you on about?" I asked highly confused "he's a virgin right? and you're gonna prey on him for that and then get back with Kyle. You know you are." What?! where the hell is he getting this from? "prey on him? no I'm not, I'm not sick in the head like you. Don't be trying to assume shit in my life. Why would you even think I'm dating Calum?" "because you're always so clingy together, he's in love with you. And you just want him for that virgin hole of his. Bet he'll split in half the fucking twink BAHAHA" he said, what the fuck even more? what the fuck is BAHAHA?! psychopath, I was getting angry as hell from the way he was talking about Calum "don't talk about him like that! you don't know anything so you can fuck right off, stupid twat." I snapped "you were so fucking upset over him cheating on you wasn't you? the fact that Kyle found someone better than you. Nobody likes you Luke, Calum only likes you because you're the only one who will pay attention to him. He's basically invisible." why was he saying this? he knew what he was saying was would upset me and it was working "shut up..shut up that's not true.." "yes it is." "no it's not not. Get the fuck out of my face." "Listen here you fucking idiot" Chad said and grabbed me by the collar "don't speak to me like that or I'll smack ya! and I'll smack Calum too!" I was seeing red, did he really think he could just come over to me like this and not think I'd fucking react? "don't you dare fucking touch him. I'm giving you three seconds to get the fuck off me before you get knocked out onto the floor, again." "Do it! I fucking dare you! Your twink boyfriend will get banged up in his room if you touch me, me and brad will kidnap him in his sleep and poison him and kill him!" Chad screamed in my face, his grip on my collar getting tighter,
I was disturbed as fuck from his comment, I was speechless for a few seconds "what the fuck is wrong with you???" I said completely baffled from the sickening things he was saying "nothing because I'm straight! unlike you! BATTY BOY!!" I was beyond speechless, I didn't know if I wanted to cry or punch his eye out, both would have suited my needs but instead I just decided to stare at him like 'what the actual fuck' "so take that!" Chad said with a smug look on his face "alright so you gonna fuck off now? stupid cunt." I said and rolled my eyes, it was getting boring, he stared at me for a few seconds, leaving me off guard and confused, he quickly threw a punch to my stomach and ran away before I could do anything back. "Motherfucker" I mumbled and groaned. I took a deep breath and tried to take in everything that had just happened which was impossible, this bullying was getting way out of hand now and his words hurt, they hurt a fucking lot.

I slowly picked the coffee mugs back up and walked into the room, back to Calum. I put the coffee mugs on the desk " I got the coffee.." I said quietly, stating the obvious, Calum sighed "thanks Luke.." he said and put his t shirt on "you..okay?" I asked, the atmosphere had gone dramatically awkward, did Calum experience something too? did Michael and Ashton as well? I needed to know but I was too nervous to ask, I really hope they didn't get shit from the twin twats too "yeah..yeah..are you?" "good..yeah I'm fine" I hated to lie but I couldn't tell Calum what just happened, he already had enough on his plate, I sipped my coffee and the room was growing into an even more suffocating awkward silence until Calum burst out crying "hey hey, baby what's wrong??" I asked and walked over to him "um.. just hormones" he replies, I sat down on the bed and put him on my lap and stroked his back "are you sure? you were fine like five minutes ago.." I asked, Calum sighed and wiped his tears "I.. I'm fine..I promise..I'm sorry you had to see me like this. I'm such a fucking baby" "don't be silly Cal..you aren't a baby Cal, please don't talk about yourself like that.. you're perfect" Calum hugged me tightly, I embraced him back straight away, never wanting to be apart from his touch, I really wish I had the confidence to tell him what just happened but I just couldn't, it would hurt him too much "you..you..don't have to say that about me.." he mumbled into my shoulder "but it's true..I really do think you are perfect" "I..I think you're perfect too.." I placed a gentle peck on his lips "nothing will break us apart." I said and I really did mean it, nothing, no matter how much those twin twats tried to get in the way, I won't let them "nothing? you promise? look I know we've only been.. together properly since yesterday but..I don't know what I'd do without you.." Calum said while looking into my eyes, I stroked his cheek "nothing will..I promise. I completely agree..I don't know what I'd do without you either" I admitted, feeling a warm blush form on my cheeks. We kissed passionately and cuddled in bed, the guilt of not being honest with him was already eating me up alive, but I couldn't tell him, not now, not yet, I wanted to protect him and if this meant I had to keep something from him, so be it.

Later on that day there was still awkward tension between Calum and I but we tried to ignore it and pretend like everything was okay, was it the wisest thing to do? probably not. The two of us walked into the living room and saw Michael there reading a book, I was surprised he wasn't with Ashton and I could tell Calum was thinking the same too "hey..you okay Mike?" Calum asked and sat down on the sofa opposite him, I sat down beside Calum, wondering where Ashton was "um..been better" he mumbled yet keeping his eyes on his book "what's up?..I thought you'd be with Ash" I said "oh nah..he's..at the gym" "oh..do you know when he'll be back?" Calum asked "no clue." Michael replied bluntly and turned his page, I was like 😶 "ah..okay..did you guys have a nice night?" I asked, I hope they didn't argue "yeah it was nice.. just slept really, you guys?" Michael replied "good..yeah we had a good night..right Cal?" I said and glanced at Calum "it was cute" Calum said with a smile and wrapped his arms around himself in a cuddling manner "ah good..good to hear.." Michael said quitely, something seemed to be on his mind, a lot "yeah..it was" I said and chuckled slightly, the front door was heard opening and closing, revealing Ashton walking into the room "hey Ash" I said "alright?.." he mumbled, Jesus he didn't seem like he was with it at all either and sat down on the sofa next to Michael, however I noticed that neither of them acknowledged each other at all..strange..very strange.."so..how's.. everyone doing with the um assignment?" Michael asked awkwardly "it's finished" Calum said "same..I mean er, it's done" I said, Jesus Christ Luke get it together, Ashton just ignored the question "oh hey Ash..how was the gym?" Calum asked, he stayed silent for a few seconds before responding "fine..it was fine.." well fuck, why the fuck is everyone so depressed?
