together

twenty-eight

Wednesday.

Calum yawned through the darkness of the room.

"You don't have to stay, I told you that their plane got delayed" I spoke quietly- hating lying to him.

A smile took over his face.
"What if I just wanted to keep you company"

"You do that all the time- Ashton told me your family is already at your house- go home and be with them." I spoke forcefully.

He rolled his eyes at me.

"You haven't seen your sister in three months, you see me everyday- almost all day" I spoke quickly, making eye contact with him.

"Go be with your mom and sister" I finished, seeing him sigh.

"You'll call me if they end up not showing?" He questioned.

"Yes Cal" I lied

I wasn't taking away from his family time.

"Okay, If your parents would like to discharge you and take you out for the day, I have the paper ready at the nurses station, just tell your mom to go up there and sign it" he spoke.

I wished that they would've came- it would be amazing to just walk around downtown rather than in this hospital continually.

"You have my phone number- if you even throw up text me, don't rely on Dylan completely-" "he's my temporary doctor" I shot to him, bringing my eyebrows together.

"I know but- he's not, me. You're used to me. So if you're uncomfortable- if you even want me to just come give you a hug I will, okay?" He spoke,

"Okay Cal" I whispered, feeling my eyes water at the thought of Calum caring this much.

"He's going to do your chemo for today, I'm sure your mom or dad will hold you, so just imagine it's Ash, remember to take it slow after and text me with updates throughout it all, okay?" He spoke slowly.

"Okay cal" I smiled to him again.

"You sure you don't want me to stay?"

"If you don't leave I'm going to call Ash to come get you" I laughed out

"Okay- okay, I get it, I'm leaving" he spoke with a smile, giving me a tight hug, making me squeeze him back, closing my eyes into him.

"I'll see you soon"

About ten minutes after he left I turned the lamp off, laying on my side, fixing my sheets.

I woke up suddenly, feeling someone touching me- it was a gentle touch, but it was firm enough for me to notice.

I opened my eyes- immediately being greeted with a black figure over my body.

I let out a scream- before I actually woke up

I shot up- my hand meeting my chest.

"Hey, hey- relax" Dylan spoke from beside me, his hand touching my shoulder.

"It was just a dream" he whispered.

I nodded lightly, swallowing, rubbing my face in the process.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Almost ten- you slept pretty late" He spoke.

I gave a small nod.

"Ready to go do chemo?"
