five

mondays were always the worst. luke's classes always seemed the hardest and everyone was in a bad mood.


usually luke was happy on mondays, but this time he was not. he was exhausted. he didn't even care how he looked that morning, so he wore a pair of old sweatpants and a sweatshirt that happened to have a stain on the pocket.


he dragged his feet into his physics class, plopping down in his seat. he took out his phone to see just a few twitter and trivia crack notifications.


to: calum
h8 school


he waited a few minutes for a response but never got one. usually, he would respond unless it was a 'come over' text.


to: calum
wya?


nothing. maybe he was just sleeping. so, he waited to text him again till lunch. he picked at his salad that he brought from home, not very hungry.


to: calum
are you okay?


nothing again. something had to be wrong. calum never did this.


luke waited till the end of the day to try again.


to: calum
coming over


to: luke
not today


he felt his heart break in his chest. he knew he was over reacting. they weren't actually together, they just kissed a few times, cuddled, and only spent time with each other.


calum knew luke was going to be upset, but he was actually busy. first off, he worked early and once he got off, he needed to go to the gym. he was pissed off. people were assholes at his job and he couldn't handle it today.


he went to gym and boxed for hours. he was extremely tired but he couldn't stop, his body was in auto pilot now. his knuckles were bloody and bruised but he felt so much better.


luke laid in his bed, ice cream beside him and his blanket pulled up to his chin. his mom and dad weren't home so they couldn't question anything.


out of a fit of sadness, he grabbed his phone once again.


to: calum
you make me feel stupid :(


why


you're mean


once calum calmed down and got home, he took his phone out of his bag and saw the messages. he shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair.


to: luke
stop lu


i worked and had a bad day im sorry


calum hit send before making his way into the bathroom. he turned on the bath and made sure it was burning hot. once it was filled up enough, he climbed in and began to relax.


luke felt awful and self centered. he didn't realize calum worked today. he didn't even bother to ask why his day was bad. he just assumed it was about him. everything always had to be about him cause he was stupid and mean.


while luke was crying in his room, calum laid in the bathroom. in his head, everything was about luke. he wanted to give him the world, he just didn't know how.


he would walk the world for luke and luke would do the same for him.
