Chapter sixty eight

Calum's pov

I waited in the bedroom while Luke ran off for his pee, confused on why he didn't just go at work instead? god knows, Luke soon walked back into the room "nah that was scary, I genuinely thought I was going to piss myself, I was holding it in for five hours!" Luke said and sighed of relief "why didn't you pee at work?" I asked curiously "because..the bathroom is gross" he said and chuckled, sitting down beside me and pecking my lips "makes sense" I said and chuckled fondly, I got my coursework out of my bag to catch up on some work, Luke put his head on my shoulder "how's the hangover treating you babe?" he asked "it's slightly better now..the orange juice helps" I said, Ashton introduced me into the world of how orange juice is a wonderful existence for hangovers "ah the orange juice does wonders for a hangover" Luke said and put my work down, at first I was confused but he then turned my face towards his and kissed my lips, I kissed back gladly "I missed you so much" I said and put my sleeves over my mouth, it's a habit I guess but Luke finds it cute  "I missed you too baby, cuddles?" "yes!" I said with excitement, I craved Luke's cuddles all the time "sounds like someone really needs a cuddle" Luke said with a chuckle and layed down on the bed, gently bringing me down beside him, we embraced eachother in a cuddle "I'm sorry a customer was mean to you today" I said, I hated it when anyone was rude to Luke in the slightest, he really doesn't deserve it at all "it is what it is.." he said as he stroked my back "I hate it when customers are rude to you too, you are too cute for being unkind to you" he added "I'm..I'm really not cute" I said feeling shy and embarrassed, I hid my face under the bedsheet covers "you're cuteee" I said sounding muffled "you are soooo cute" he said and removed the covers from my face "the cutest in the world" he said which resulted in me feeling more shy as I buried my face in his chest "I really don't think I am.." I admitted, Luke frowned "why not? you are so lovely baby"  he said "you are, I know we've not even eaten dinner yet..but I'm getting so tired after today" I said resting my eyes closed and letting out a yawn "you are too, please believe me. Sleep babe, I'll be here when you wake up" Luke said and kissed my forehead "thank you.. just..don't let me sleep longer than an hour, I just wanna nap and we can grab food after" I said and smiled "okay baby, sweet dreams" he said whilst cuddling me, falling asleep in his arms.

It was so peaceful, a content sleep until it got horrible, a nightmare from hell, I tried waking up but I couldn't "Cal?" I heard faintly, I mumbled and began to flop around in my half asleep state "cal? baby wake up!" I heard a voice say and nudge me gently, I woke up properly frantically and sweating "f-fuck!" I said whilst sitting up and trying to catch my breath "babe babe, it's okay, it's okay! you're okay" Luke said beside me and stroked my back "I just um..I errr need a minute.." I said and jumped up, running into the bathroom and splashing cold water on my face, Luke got up and passed me a glass of water looking worried "th-thank you" I said and in my panicked state I poured the glass of water over my head, hoping it would help snap me out of my state "no no, baby baby" Luke said and got a towel and dried my hair "deep breaths, it's okay, you are with me, nothing can hurt you" he said calmly "fuck I want it to go away Luke! I just want it to go away!" I said and burst out crying, everything was too much, it was suffocating "why can't I just be happy and not feel like a total fucking loser for once!" I said through my tears, Luke's eyes filled with sadness seeing how I was and brought our bodies together for a hug whilst he stroked my back "shh it's okay Cal, it's okay. You aren't a loser..you are the most amazing guy I know" I cried into Luke's shoulder "please don't let them get me" I said through my sobs, Luke kissed my forehead "who babe? I'm not going to let anyone hurt you..I promise" I took his hand and lead us back to the bed, I sat on his lap wanting his close contact still near by "the nightmares.." I said, I couldn't it out of my head "what are the nightmares about?..do..you want to talk about it?" he asked softly and wrapped his arms around my waist "it was scary..urgh all I wanted was a fucking nap.." I said with frustration and picked up the towel and dried the rest of my body that has gotten wet "I don't even feel like doing the shake and shimmy this time" I admitted, that's when I know I feel shit, a shake and shimmy usually always cheers me up but not this time "I'm sorry you had a nightmare..but at least I was here, I'm always here" Luke said with a gentle smile "thank you Luke..I..I love you so much..I don't think I'd have survived a day here without you.." I admitted "I love you too Cal..you mean everything to me..I just want you to be happy..always." I wish I could always be happy too "I'm sorry Luke.." I said and got up with a sigh, changing into fresh pajamas "we should.. probably get something to eat before bed..I'm sorry about falling asleep, I wish I didn't" I replied "don't be sorry babe, you can't help it. How about, we get some food, have a cuddle, we don't even have to sleep if you don't want to, either way, I'll be by your side" "that sounds great" I said and walked over to him, holding his hands, I was so appreciative of him "thank you Luke.. you really are the best" I said and pecked his lips, we ordered pizza and had a few drinks, Luke really did make me feel better after my nightmare, he always made me feel better, he helped me feel like everything was going to be okay.

A few more days went by, nothing out of the ordinary, before we knew it we were broken up for half term, it was great being back with my family but I really did miss the boys, I missed Luke's kisses and cuddles. I was currently in the car back to the university campus with my mum "thanks for dropping me off mum, I hate the train" I said, I hated public transport, it gave me so much anxiety "that's okay my little sweetheart! mummy is gonna miss you, let me walk you to your dorm!" she said as he pulled up in the car park and pecked my cheek "oh no that's oka-" I started to say but got caught off by my mother "Calum. Let mummy walk you back to the dorm." Pft well I guess I couldn't disagree, I loved my mother dearly but she did have a habit of embarrassing me sometimes, we got out the car and made our way to the flat, it was quiet and I hadn't checked my phone yet, I don't know if any of the other boys are back yet. We walked in and I was greeted with an amazing sight, Luke.  "Luke!  oh my god!" I said with glee and hugged him tightly, I think the break did us all some good to get away from all this drama but fucking hell I really did miss Luke so much, he hugged back "so this is the boyfriend eh?" my mum asked, oh god please don't embarrass me mum "hi! I'm Luke, it's great to meet you" he said and put his hand out to shake her hand, she shook his hand "you too. So. Have you been having sex with my son?" she asked "mum!" I exclaimed feeling rather embarrassed, Luke was clearly taken back by her question but tried to shrug it off with a nervous chuckle "er, um I er, Calum and I are in a happy relationship" he said "it's okay, I'm joking! he really loves you, he talks about you all the time you know! my little pumpkin all grown up with a boyfriend!" my mum said with a grin, I lowkey face palmed feeling even more embarrassed but glad she stopped the strict character "oh!" Luke said and sighed with relief "well I love him too, a lot" Luke said and gave me a look filled with love which I returned to my wonderful boyfriend "well I best be off! goodbye my sweet little angel baby!! I love you!!" she said and embraced me into a bear hug "bye mum.. love you too" I said and hugged back, trying not to cringe myself at the encounter that had just happened "goodbye Joy, safe travels" Luke said and put his arm around me "goodbye Luke! great meeting you!" my mum said with a smile and jogged away, one we were left alone we sat down on the bed "sorry.. about that..I wanted to say fucks sake but she'd tell me off for swearing" I said, my mum didn't like it when I swore at all, Luke chuckled "that's okay, I'm glad I got to meet her. I missed you" he said and kissed me, I kissed back "I'm glad I could finally do that, to be honest I didn't want to do it in front of my mum incase she embarrassed me further" I said and giggled, Luke chuckled and we layed down on the bed, attaching ourselves into a cuddle straight away "I'm glad I can do this again" he said, we were peacefully cuddling for a little while until there was a knock at the door.

Luke got up with a little amount of energy "dammit I was comfy" he said, me too Luke, me too "urgh, come in, it's open!" I said and sat up, thinking it was Ashton and Michael but..it wasn't, the open door revealed Brad walking into our room, fucks sake, and to top it off, he was grinning, but why? "hey guys! did you miss us? we missed you! come join us all in the living room!" he said, Luke and I looked rather confused to say the least "what?" Luke asked, I let out a sigh "you better not be lying. You're probably saying that so we go in the living room and then you're probably going to bang us" I said "ew no! I'm being serious, we got a cute little pet! the dorm advisor said we could keep it since it was homeless, follow me!" Brad said and jogged into the living room, a pet? "you better not be wasting our time." I muttered and got out of bed, Luke and I followed him, bit random to have a pet, unless it was a pet snake or a spider, regardless of what it is, I hope it likes cuddles, I love cuddling animals.

Brad was being rather nice, were the twins finally going to give us less shit? were they going to stop the mind games this term? pft

Probably not.
