'What's going on? Simon?' Cal's voice seemed to be coming from underwater. In fact, everything sounded like it was coming from underwater; muffled, echoed, far away.
The only thing that sounded clear was Harry's words, doing loops in my head.
I heard everything.
My mind sprung to the worst place. Cal, bent at the knee, telling a comatose Harry how much he loved him. Harry, an accusing look in his eye as he stared at Simon. Simon, here on his own.
It all made no sense, but in the same way, it fitted together like some twisted jigsaw puzzle.
'Yeah, what's going on?' I asked, almost too scared to speak.
'It's not what you think.' Simon mumbled, finally breaking eye contact with Harry.
Harry looked over to Cal, and smiled with pain in his eyes.
'Did you mean it?'
'Now isn't really the time, Harry. What's going on?' Cal replied.
He spoke gently, but there was still a bite to his voice.
Harry looked down.
'It's not for me to say. But Simon's right, it's not what you think.'
I looked over at the boy who I thought was my soulmate. For once, he looked so weak and so small.
'We need to talk.' he murmured.
'And so do we.' Harry said to Cal.
Turning my gaze to Callum, I saw the look of confusion that was evident on my face mirrored on his.
I nodded at him. He looked like he was going to faint as he nodded too, distantly.
'Lets go ho-' Simon started.
'No.' I cut him off. 'Whatever is going on, I want to know now.'
He looked at me with troubled eyes, and began to speak.
