Calum's POV

I went out of my room when I heard noises. The voices are all familiar, it's from my brothers. I bet Hero has been discharged from the hospital by now. I found them all at the lounge where we usually hangout.

"Hey, Cal." Michael greeted me.

"You look wasted, bro." Hero says.

Yes, I obviously look like shit right now. But who cares anyways. Then I realized that it has been 7days since Summer. I let out a sigh as I turn my back to go back at my room.

"Calum." Ashton called as I take a step. I stopped in his voice calling my name.

"What?" I asked, not facing them.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asked.

"I'm fine." I obviously lied then I walked back in my room, feeling their stares at my back.

I hate it when Ashton asks things that are already obvious. I am not okay, I don't know if I will be okay again. I'm not mad at Ashton, maybe just a little annoyed.

I laid on my bed and covered myself with my comforter. I stared at my TV screen and looked at my reflection from there. I look like shit, literally. I grabbed my phone from the side and unlocked it. Then I saw Summer's beautiful face on my wallpaper. I ran my thumb across the screen, as if I am touching her face, but no. (A/N: media on the side of Summer as Calum's wallpaper.)

I looked up at my contacts and stopped at her name, thinking if I should call her or not. If I do, will she answer it? I doubt it. But I guess it's worth some try? I took a deep breath before hitting the call button. My heart raced as it started ringing.

I took away the phone from my ear, I am about to end the call when I heard "hello" from the other line. I immediately put the phone back in my ear.

"Summer?" I asked as my insides tremble a little.

"He-hey." Her voice is low, but it still makes me happy that she answered.

"Ca-can you come over? I.. I need you." I asked. I know it's too much to ask from her, but I need her.

Silence filled in both lines and my heart broke. Maybe she never wanna see me again, and I understand that.

"Sorry, I gotta go. Bye." She said then she ended the call.

Summer's POV

I am in my shift when Calum called, I have no idea why I answered. I am supposed to hate him for lying. I almost died before because of him, but then, he saved me and he didn't let it happen. He protected me and didn't let anyone to touch or hurt me. I heard the bell of the shop before letting out a sigh and slipping my phone back in my pocket. I tuned my sight at the door to see Niall standing and smiling at me.

"Hey, Niall." I greeted as I walk to him.

"Hi, Summer. Nice uniform." He smiled.

"Thanks." I say. " So, what brings you here?"

"Nothing, just checking my friend's work place out." Niall answered before looking around. "Cool place, Summer."

Later on. the bell rang again and I saw Harry entered the shop. When Niall and Harry's gaze met, they were both surprised at the sight of each other and it confuses me. Do they know each other?

"Hi, Summer." Harry greeted.

"Excuse me Niall, I'll assist the customer fist." I say and he nodded.

I went to Harry and saw that he is holding a paper again.
