Luke's POV:

I woke up from my nap and Calum told me all about Mali coming to see him and saying she's gonna help, and honestly I'm so grateful. Mali-Koa is a wonderful woman, I've never respected anyone so much. It kind of makes me wish that my siblings would look out for me like that. Don't get me wrong, I love my brothers very dearly but with how busy they are getting on with their lives I have no clue if they would find out about this. I still couldn't believe it, who the hell was trying to mess with us? Part of me thought the stalker had something to do with it. They must do. And when Calum and I get out of here, we are no longer taking anymore shit from them, that's for sure.

Ironically, as I was just thinking of my siblings I also got a visitor maybe an hour or so after Mali left. It was Jack. Fuck, I didn't know what to do, or say. So I just stared at him as he walked up to the cell. "I'll... give you two a minute..." said Calum as he sat himself in the corner of the cell and rested his eyes. He's not slept yet, so I wouldn't be surprised if he nodded off too. I walked to the forward of the cell and sat on the floor, and Jack sat on the floor on the other side of the bars. "Hey little bro... what are we gonna do with you aye?" He joked, I wasn't sure if he knew the reason why I was in here or not yet. Before I could say anything, I burst out crying. "I didn't do it! I didn't do anything Jack!" "Hey hey calm down... I haven't been told about what's happened. They just told me you were here.." Well fuck. In a way that made it worse; because I knew that I had to be the one to tell him the disgusting things I have been accused of. It would've been so much easier if he was told in a different way, although on the bright side I can defend myself and let him know I didn't do it, because if he heard it from someone else... he wouldn't have heard my side, and who knows, he might not have even come to see me at all. He might not want to see me ever again once I tell him. But I did. I told him everything in my own words. I told him all about Cameron, Arzaylea, hell I even told him about what happened between Calum and Cameron, with Cal's permission. I never told my family about what happened, but Calum and I agreed that this time it would be appropriate, so we can show to people that we have witnessed Cameron's ways and intentions with Arzaylea, because Calum fell for it too and got hurt. And let me put it bluntly, Jack wasn't the happiest I've ever seen him once he found out what Calum had been through and now what I have been locked up for, all because of some compulsive lying, controlling pervert. After I told him everything, I burst out into a huge rant as I ran my fingers through my hair stressfully. "That Cameron fucking asshole! He's the one doing all this, not me! But they said they'd frame me if I ever told anyone but I didn't even do that! I haven't done anything!" I angrily grabbed the bars and started rattling them because I was so damn angry.  Jack placed his hands on the bar in a reassuring way "hey hey stop that shh, is there any proof that it's him?" He asked. Well that would be nice. But there isn't... unless they did anything on camera. Not that I'd be able to get hold of footage like that, it's up to the school security. "No... I've been the one who's seen it. But now I'm gonna lose my job! What if I'm stuck here forever?" "Hey. I believe you. I'll try bail you out when I can, or at least try to get a lawyer for you." I really appreciated Jack's help. I nodded and bit my lip. But then I remembered something else, what about Mum?! My fucking mother finding out that her son is behind bars because of an untrue accusation that he's having an affair with a seventeen year old student! I wanted the ground to swallow me whole just thinking about it. I couldn't, I just couldn't cope. "Mum doesn't... fuck mum doesn't know I'm here does she? She can't know about this! You can't tell her!" "No not yet... I won't tell her don't worry. I can't help that if she finds out in any other way, but if that's the case I'll pretend I know nothing." Jack nodded slowly. I let out a sigh "th-thank you.." I stuttered. "Listen... it's gonna be alright okay? We will get to the bottom of this, I promise.." "really? You promise?" I looked into his eyes. "I promise. I'm gonna do some research, because something about this doesn't seem right. Especially.... since he did this to Calum too." Jack was right. He may seem like a slightly arrogant person at times, but he definitely isn't stupid. He knows what he's talking about most of the time, even if he does come across a little strong sometimes.

"I know I know.." I glanced over towards Calum, I don't think he heard what we were saying but if he did... he would sure say his piece about how well he knows Cameron, and how he treats people. I then looked back at Jack. "It's fucking bullshit, I don't understand." And then on top of everything else, we've got a fucking stalker now. But I decided not to tell Jack about that yet. He's not ready. "Just sit tight yeah? They won't keep you in here long. Not without taking you to court. I'll check up on you tomorrow. At least you've got each other" Jack stood up ready to leave, and I stood up with him. "Yeah... yeah... thank you Jack... I love you..." I looked at him. "I love you too." Jack squeezed my hand gently through the bars. "I love you too." He repeated "I know I don't say it enough, but I do love you. I will never stop loving you." Those words. It was those words. My eyes immediately swarmed with sparkly tears as I looked at my brother with glee. I needed that. I really did. But I couldn't keep him here, it wouldn't be fair on him. That, and I didn't want him to witness me blubbering like a baby in front of him. "Go on.. You better go before you see me cry more" I chuckled slightly. "Yeah.. I'll see you around." Jack smiled. Before I knew it, he was gone. Out of everyone in the entire world to visit me, I definitely wasn't expecting Jack. I appreciate it though. I appreciate him. Once Jack left, I snuggled up to Calum and we talked about the chats we had with our siblings. I think we both needed it

Hours passed by, and one of the officers that arrested us walked up to us. For fucks sake, what could he possibly want? After all he's put us through? Interrogation, brutality, hell, they have no fucking proof and they STILL want to harass us? Fucking fucks sake. Calum looked at him "What?!" He scoffed. "Oi don't shout at me! Calum I need to take you for questioning, follow me." He pointed at Calum and did the classic come hither gesture. "Can I bring Luke?" He asked. "Pfft, no don't be silly" oh come the fuck on, there's no need for him to pfft. I gave Calum a look, a look as if to say "just go babe" but I didn't say that. I just nodded and bit my lip, because I didn't want any more trouble. It's the last thing we needed. "Fine." He pouted. He looked at me one last time before he walked away with the officer. I felt my heart breaking, I couldn't bare to be away from him for even a moment. I hope he doesn't keep him long. I'm worried and stressed enough as it is, the last thing ANYONE on this fucking planet could do right now, is take Calum away from me.
