Tough Choices (Calum x Reader x Luke)

Close As Strangers

-Basing this chapter on Close As Strangers-

-Luke's POV-

Six weeks since I've been away. Now you're saying everything has changed. And I'm afraid that I might be losing you.

It's been six weeks since I've left for tour... I miss Y/N all too much...
She's been texting Ashton a lot lately.

I don't blame her though, Ashton is great at helping with people "in her situation" as Ashton likes to say

But one day I was bored and decided to steal Ash's phone and text her pretending to be Ashton

A/L: Hey love. What's new?

I think I made a darn good Ashton impression.

Y: oh my goodness everything! There's so much stuff to talk about! Like I have a bunch new friends and like, the town is putting in a bigger park. Literally almost everything is gunna be different once you guys get back!

That was the longest text I've ever read.

A/L: But you'll be the same. Right?

Y: nope! I'm getting a haircut!

A/L: but other than that you'll be the same?

Y: yeah Ash. Calm your tits

A/L: yeah yeah okay

Then Ashton walked in the room

"LUKE!! GET OFF MY PHONE!" His voice boomed throughout the tour bus

"Okay okay. Sheesh" I tossed his phone at him and he narrowed his eyes at me and walked back towards the bunks.

-Calum's POV-

And every night that we spend alone. It kills me thinking that you're on your own. And I wish I was back home next to you.

I laid in my bunk with my back facing the aisle. I've spent a long time like this

And then I heard footsteps coming closer.

I decided to act like I was sleeping. That usually works.

It was Mikey.

He tapped my back and when I didn't respond he grabbed a fist full of my shirt and yanked me off the bunk and onto the floor

"OW! what the hell Mikey?!" I spat

He shrugged "I was bored. Anyways, I just want to tell you that you can't spend the entire tour in that bunk..."

I nodded and crawled back onto the bunk

Michael just heavily sighed and walked away.

It was around 9:30PM ish I don't normally fall asleep this early but I was quite tired

Although once I tried to sleep my mind wandered and kept me up awhile

'She's all alone cause you left'

'You had to leave'

'This is why she didn't choose you over Luke. She could sense how much of a jerk you are'

'But you give good cuddles so I'll give you that one'

'What if she regrets choosing Luke?'

'Maybe she does maybe she doesn't. You'll never know'

I just kept taunting myself. I don't think this is mentally healthy.

I wish I could just go home so she could cuddle me to sleep...
