Coldhearted

Chapter 3

I wake up, confused on why I am in the infirmary. Then, memories of the night before flash into my mind.

Luke's arms are still wrapped tightly around me. I smile and softly kiss his bicep, then I realized what I just did. I hear a deep chuckle behind me, then a pair of lips connect to the back of my neck.

"Well good morning to you too." Luke chuckles. My heart starts racing. I remember what Marissa warned me about; that guys will use my body then leave. I've never really gotten close to a guy because of that.

"I need to take a shower." I rush, pushing the warm embrace of Luke's muscular arms off of me.

He stares at me, confused, as I run out of the door. I really like him, but I think we may be moving too fast.

I slowly walk back to my room to find Calum holding Marissa tightly in his arms, both are sleeping peacefully.

As soon as I step into the room,the wooden floor softly creaks. Marissa slowly opens her eyes. "Morning." She whispers sleepily. "Hey. Did you have a good night?" I ask, walking to my dresser.

"Yeah, but i'm sore as fuck right now." She groans, sitting up. The blanket falls, exposing her naked breast. I gasp and spin around. I hear a deep chuckle, then two people kissing.

I hear a smack and a high pitched giggle. "Go put on some clothes." Calum says. I cough and grab my towel and clean clothes. "Okay you can turn around now." Marissa tells me. I grab my stuff and turn around. Calum lays on his back and has his arms around his back, the blanket covering his exposed skin.

Marissa is wearing a black, silk laced nightgown. "Can we talk?" I didn't realize she was talking to me. I nod and she leads me down the hallway, into the empty Common area.

We go inside a small, empty room and she locks the door behind us. "Okay, what's up?" I ask, rubbing my bare arms. She sighs and looks at me.

"I think I might break up with Calum." I literally drop my jaw. There's no way! She has been with him for almost 4 years, they have so much history together.

"What? Why?" I ask. She sighs again. "All we do now is fight, then have sex to make up for it. I don't want to be in a relationship like that." She explains. I frown, wondering what she wants then.

In this world, its not like they can fly out to a romantic destination, or even go to a fancy restaurant. "This isn't about Calum, is it?" I figured it out. She slowly shakes her head and bows her head.

"What do you want?" I ask. I know she wouldn't just give up on him that easily. She loves him too much to just break up with him over a few fights.

"I want more! I want more than just some pointless sex and cuddling. I want us to get married, and have kids. I want us to be a real family for once." She is ready to break down again.

I hug her and I can tell she is fighting tears. "Did you talk to him about it?" I ask. She shakes her head and I pull away. "Its hard to just bring that up. Didn't you ever have someone who, from the moment you set eyes on them, that you wanted more than a friendship or a pointless relationship?" She ask me.

My mind goes straight to Luke. I want a relationship like theirs; cuddling all the time, him getting me gifts, sex when we both need it, even though I still have yet to lose my virginity. I know how she is feeling.

"I can't imagine you without Cal. You guys have been through so much together. In my opinion, I want you guys to stay together." I tell her truthfully. "Why?" She ask. "Because you have each other to keep going. I know for a fact if Cal wasn't there, then you probably still wouldn't be here."

This sends her over the edge. She sinks to her knees and closes her eyes, sobbing into her hands. I go down to her and hold her in my arms. She sobs softly as I hold her in my arms. There is a knock on our door, causing us both to jump.

"Baby? Please open up." Marissa quickly wipes her tears. "How do I look?" She ask, her voice sounding down and sad. "You look beautiful." Truthfully, she never looks horrible.

She nods and we both stand up. She opens the door and Calum stands there, an expression of hurt on his face. "I heard everything." Is the first thing he says.

She sobs and shakes her head. "C-cal I didn't m-mean-" But she shushes her. She sobs and collapses into his chest. He gives me a sad look and I know he is telling me to leave. I walk past him and sigh. I hope they can fix their situation.

I walk down the hallway and I smile when I see my best friend. "Hey Mikey!" I call, waving to him. He rolls his eyes and walks past me, completely blowing me off.

"Hey!" I call angrily, grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around. He gives me a hard look. "What the fuck?" I ask him.

"I thought last night we were looking at the stars." He says harshly. Shit I forgot about that. I put a hand to my forehead. "Oh my god, I am so sorry." I almost whisper.

"Save it! I saw you with Luke. You probably fucked him." I drop my jaw. "Slut." Michael spits at me. He is about to walk away, but I slap him across the face. My hand stings and his face turns an ever lighter shade.

He stares at me, wide eyed. "Don't you fucking dare call me a slut!" I snap at him. He rolls his eyes and finally uses his shoulders to push past me. "Bitch!" I scream to him, my hand stinging like hell.

Dr. Lancaster walks past me. "We're you and your boyfriend just fighting?" He ask. I drop my jaw. "Michael is NOT my boyfriend!" I squeal.

"Oh, well I need your help with something, don't scream though." He lowers his voice. I nod, afraid of what he is about to say.

"Test subject 3 escaped."
