Kill Me

About Us

"He's still going down." He whispers...

"Calum." I let go of him.
"No."
"Please, just let me handle it."
"No."
"But I've known him longer than you!"
He sighs.
"Okay, I won't do anything but I want you to break up with him the first chance you get. Say that it's too dangerous."
I nod my head and smile.
"Thank you." I whisper.
"Anything for you."

~A few days later~

I walk into the school building with Calum having an arm around me.
We walk into class and see people staring at us. I don't see Whisky anywhere though.
Whisky is a gang member of Calum, but I guess no one knows his real name.
I look confused at Calum.
"Dead." He whispers before glaring at the person who sits in his seat.
The poor guy stutters a apology and quickly searches an other seat.
Calum points at the seat next to him and I take it. He smiles and leans back in his chair.
"Good morning class, we have a lot to do this lesson so take your seats." The teacher begins the lesson.

When we finally have break we walk to their usual table. Calum holds my hand while we're standing.
"Why don't we go outside?" I ask.
"Why would we?" Calum replies.
"Because it's nice weather outside!"
"So?"
"So, it's healthy to catch some sun now we have the chance!"
He turns around.
"We're going outside." He says to the others.
"Why?"
"Because lady wants to." He mentioned to me.
I smirk and lift one eyebrow.
"We're going outside." Ashton says while he grabs his lunch.
I smile and grab my lunch too. We walk outside and take a seat under a big tree.
"See? I like this way better." I smile.
"Yeah, sure. Whatever you want babe." Calum lays an arm around my while I sit against the tree.
I smile and lay my head against his shoulder. I see Dylan staring at me from under another tree. They're all together and I see that Emily did make it.
I give him a soft smile and he smiles back.
"Already broke up with your boyfriend?" Calum whispers in my ear.
"Shut up, you know that you're my boyfriend." I whisper back.
"Lana, I don't like to share what's mine."
"You don't have to, I'm all yours."
"You know that sure?"
"Of course. If I didn't I wouldn't be here."
He smiles and takes my hand.
"I love you." I smile while I close my eyes.
"I love you too." He plays with my fingers.
I lift up my head and brush his lips against mine for a second. He lays his hand on my cheek and kisses me.
"You see? You have nothing to be protective over." I say when I pull back.
"Of course I do, I need to protect you."

I smile.
"I can protect myself." I smirk.
"That reminds me of something..." A devilish smirk appears on his face.
"Oh god no..." I wish I never said that.
"You still need to make breakfast for me." He smirks.
"Please Calum. I saved your life! Isn't that enough?" I pout.
"No. So, we're going to do some lingerie shopping.." He smirks
"Calum..." I groan.
"No protests."
"I'm not going to shop my lingerie with you."
"Yes, you're going. Or I'll go by myself, I don't mind that either."
"All By yourself?"
"Yeah, and you'll wear whatever I take with me."
"NoooOoo." I whine.
"We'll go this afternoon, if you don't come, than you'll wear whatever I choose."
"I hate you." I groan.
"Only makes me want you more." He whispers.

I'm in my last period of the day when I see Dylan walk in.
Fuck.
I forgot that I had this class with him.
"Hey Lana." He smiles while he takes his seat next to me.
"Hey Dylan..."
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, but I gotta talk to you..."
"Okay, meet me after school."
"Where?"
"In the forest near Dean's house."
"Okay..."

When school's out Calum walks to me.
"You're coming?" He asks.
"Well, I actually have something else to do..." I say while I see Dylan walk past us.
"You're sure?" He smirks.
I don't know why he smirks, but I ignore it. I only think about how I need to tell Dylan.
I nod my head.
"Yeah, you go... I have something important to do for school." I say when I see that Dylan can hear us easily.
Dylan stands with his back to us, so he can't see us, I think.
I nod my head quickly to Dylan. Calum nods his head.
"You're gonna break up with your boyfriend?" He whispers in my ear.
I smirk.
"Make sure that you take someone with you.. You don't know how he's gonna react." He whispers quickly.
I nod my head and smile.

So, I walk home with Ashton.
"Hey Ashton..." I begin.
"Yeah?"
"I'm 'breaking up' with Dylan today, but Calum said that I needed to take someone with me.. Just in case..."
"You want me to come?"
"Yes, you can just stay in the bushes, but I need you to be there when something goes wrong."
"Okay."
"And you need to promise me one thing."
"What?"
"If something goes wrong. Go to Calum immediately. I'm sure that Dylan takes Emily with him."
"... Lana, I can't just leave you there!"
"You do. Am I clear?"
"..yes.."
"Good."

We walk a little in silenuntil I realise what Calum meant when he asked me if I came with him. Fuck, he's going to search for that lingerie.
I quickly grab my phone and call him.
"Hey Babe, what's wrong?" He answers.
"Calum... Baby... You aren't lingerie shopping now huh?" I say with my sweetest voice.
Ashton looks up with a weird look on his face but I shake my head.
"Too late, I'm already at Victoria Secret."
"Calum, isn't that way too expensive?"
"Nah, it's Dean's money anyway."
"What?"
"Yeah, I stole it."
"When?"
"I dunno. A few weeks ago or something like that."
I groan.
"Just go to Dylan and break up with him. Don't forget to take someone with you... Be careful, I love you.."
"I will, I love you too... bye."
"Bye babe."

I hang up and look at Ashton.
"What?" I ask.
"What was that about?"
"A bet that I lost."
"With lingerie?"
I sigh and he giggles.
"Don't mind, I don't even wanna know." He chuckles.
"Good, now can we go on?"
He nods his head.
"Let's go to Dylan." I mumble.
"You're not looking forward to it?"
"No, I'm afraid that he'll freak out."

We walk to the forest.
"You stay here." I say.
"Okay. Be careful."
"I will."

I meet Dylan deep into the forest.
"Hey Dyl." I smile while I hug him.
I cough, Way too much aftershave. I quickly let go and wipe the sweat off my hands with my pants.
"Hey babe, where did you wanna talk about?"
"About us..."
