SIX TEXT MESSAGES
ASH: He's coming home soon, Cal, dw.
CAL: No he's not Ashton. He's touring like two countries, two continents.
ASH: you're supposed to be happy for him.
CAL: Why does no one think I'm happy for him? Of course I'm happy for him! But it hurts to not be able to see his face. It hurts when I see photos of fans meeting him, getting to touch him.
ASH: Yeah but they don't get to touch him as much as you do or the way you do.
ASH: He'll be home before you know it, Cal. Let him live his dream.
ASH: Cal?

LUKE: Ash says you haven't replied to his text. Why not?
CAL: Didn't really know how to reply.
LUKE: Okay, well, how are you babe?
CAL: I'm alright, you?
LUKE: I'm good. :) You at school?
CAL: Luke it's 9pm here.
LUKE: Right! I forget the timezones.
CAL: Yeah.
LUKE: Hey are you okay?
CAL: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired.
LUKE: Maybe you should get some sleep then, babe.
CAL: Sure, text you later xx
LUKE: Love youu. <3

ASH: You're being a dick, Calum.
CAL: Leave me alone.
ASH: Not until you admit how much of a dick you're being.
CAL: I won't because I don't think I am.
ASH: Luke is practically having a heart attack over you! Call him, reply to his text, skype him.
ASH: Do SOMETHING!
CAL: And say what, Ashton? "Hey, babe, missing you. Can you come home please?" He won't. I'm not doing well without him. I'm not used to this. And I just need time to adjust.
ASH: He's given you time. He's been gone for two and a half months and you still haven't adjusted? He's coming home, Calum. It's not like he isn't! He'll come back to you, so stop being a sook and dick and fucking text him. Fake it, for all I care. I don't enjoy one of my best friends being upset over my other best friend.
CAL: So you want me to fake happiness so that you don't have to worry about him worrying over me?
ASH: Yesss pls.
CAL: You know what? Fuck you. You don't seem very upset about me hurting or anything, so fuck you.
CAL: I'm not fucking texting him until I want.
CAL: And another thing... fuck you.

CAL: Hey babe, sorry I haven't replied. Been quite busy with friends and shit.
LUKE: Popular kid, eh? ;)
CAL: Basically.
LUKE: How have you been lately? Haven't texted in two days. That's a long time tbh.
CAL: I've been good. :)
LUKE: You're lying.
CAL: How'd you know?
LUKE: Well Ash told me how you've just been on your computer or watching TV for the past two days so he doesn't know why you haven't replied to me.
CAL: So why did you play along with the popular kid thing?
LUKE: Thought you'd feel guilty and tell the truth but you just said 'basically'.
CAL: That doesn't mean I haven't been good. ;)
LUKE: Cal, you and I both know you've been anything but good.
LUKE: Tell me about it.
CAL: There's nothing to tell. You're gone and I'm lonely.
LUKE: Calum I'm coming home. I promise I'm coming home. Hold on for me.
CAL: I'm trying.

Maaate,
I don't know what to say about Calum and Luke still. The amount of songs I have listened to and I've thought, 'wow, this relates to my cake fan fic' is ridiculous. Yeah, I listen to a lot of sad songs bruh.
#425 in Short Story now. Keep it going, loves. You're all amazing.
Love Leticia x
