"Goodnight.. Calum." I whisper.

---

~the next morning~

I wake up in an empty bed. I look around and then remember that Calum is always up early. I sigh and dress myself in one of his sweaters.


I walk into the kitchen and see Calum making breakfast. I'm so screwed. So, so screwed. Suddenly I begin to fear that he'll find out someway. That he'll find out that I'm faking it. I sigh and he turns around.

"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Oh nothing, I was just thinking."
"You shouldn't be thinking so much." He smiles.
He kisses my forehead before returning to breakfast.
"Yeah..." I mumble.
"So, what do you wanna do?"
"What?"
"Today? What are we gonna do?"
"I dunno. How am I supposed to know? Don't you have any gang stuff to do or something?"
"They can handle a day without me."
"Don't mind Calum. You go and do the things you need to do. I can handle a day on my own."
"But I wanna spend the day with you."
"Calum, just go and do the things you need to do."
He sighs and walks away. I sigh in relief when he closes the door behind him. At least I don't need to spend the day with him.


I make breakfast and walk outside. I decide to do something to my archery skills. Not that I'm ever going to use those, I just have nothing else to do. I grab my stuff and walk into the woods. I search for a place where no one comes, so I can't shoot anyone in the head.
When I reach some trees far enough, I stop. I load my bow and point it at a tree nearby. I shoot the arrow and grab another one.

It goes on for about 30 minutes until I shoot an arrow to a person who I thought was a tree.

"Watch out!" I yell, but he/she avoids it easily.
I look at the person as I hear that the arrow hits another tree.
"What are you doing here?!" I ask while I recognize the person.
"Just checkin on you." Calum says.
"I almost shot your head off." I say while I run to him.
I hug him while I let my bow drop on the ground.
"You didn't, I backed away."
"And I'm so happy that you did that."
"You are?"
"Of course I am!"
"Why? Because my gang would kill you if I didn't back away?"
"What? No! Because I don't want you dead!"
Then I realize that I meant what I said. I never wanted him dead. Maybe hurt, but not dead.
I let go of him and grab my bow again.
"Maybe I did enough for today." I mumble while I don't dare to look in his eyes.
He lifts up my chin and looks into my eyes.
He let his lips softly land on mine. I never seen him this... soft....


Suddenly I hear a yell. I turn to the sound and just see how Dylan pushes Calum on the ground.
I hear Calum groan and see that Dylan begins to beat him up.
"You.. Dirty.. Douchebag.. I'll.. Kill... You...." I hear Dylan groan between the punches.
For a second I stand there frozen until I decide to finally do something.
"Dylan.. Damnit StoP!!" I yell while I try to push him off. I can't hurt him because he's still a gang member, so it's against the rules.
After I see that it didn't work I grab out my gun.
"Dylan stop it!!" I yell while I point the gun at him.
He ignores me and keeps on punching.
"Dylan!!"


I hate to do this but if I don't, he'll kill Calum. I shoot him in his shoulder.
He groans and rolls to the side. I run to Calum and get onto my knees.
"Calum?" I say while shake his shoulders a little.
I hear him groan and let quickly go. He opens his eyes and looks at me.
"Where is he?" He asks while he sits.
"I shot him..." I look around but don't see him.
"I don't see him tho." I add.
"Damnit."
"What?"
"I was about to beat the shit out of his ass." He stands up.
"Calum! You're beaten up! Let's just go home and let me take care of you."
"I'm fine."
"Calum.."
"I'm fine!"
"No, you're not."
He looks at me and then nods.


We walk back to his house. I close the door behind me while he walks upstairs. I follow him to his room. I close his door behind me and he turns around to me.
I look at his wounds and see that some of them will need stitches.
"Lift up your shirt." I say while I already turn around to get the stuff that I need.
"What?"
"Some of your wounds will need stitches so I need to you pull off your shirt.
He nods his head and I walk out of his room.
After I found the stuff that I need, I walk back.
I bite my lip when I see him shirtless. I shake my head. No, he needs help. No time for fantasies.
"Sit down." I command while I point at the bed.
He does what I say and I sit besides him.
"Okay, this might sting a little." I say before I press alcohol against a wound on his back. I can feel that his muscles tighten, but for the rest he doesn't move.
I lay my other hand on his back. I let my hand go over his back to make sure that I don't miss a wound.

After I cleaned them all I go back to the one that needs stitches.
"You know how to do this right?" He asks while he turns his head.
"Of course I do. We can't go to a hospital anyway, so someone needs to take care of the wounds."
"What's the worse you had?"
"What I had myself? Or what I needed to treat?"
"Both."
"I think the worse that I had was a cut on my back. What I needed to treat was a lot worse.."
"Like what?"
"Like infected wounds or bullet wounds."
"Seems painful."
"Well, you had a lot yourself." I say while I go with my eyes over his back.
He's quiet until I stand up.
"It's done, but you need to be careful. Don't get them infected." I say while I check his face.
"How do I look?" He asks.
"Bad, but still very handsome." I answer.
"Good." He says while he stands up.
"Just be careful." I say while I point my finger at him.
"I will."
Just before I could walk out he grabs me and kisses me softly.
"Stay here."
"Calum..."
"I got beaten up for you."
I sigh.
"Fine, I'll stay."...
