"I think you should leave, Luke," you whispered, making his expression fall.

"You don't mean that," he said softly, shaking his head, "You don't... You don't want me to go."

"Please just go."

"But, baby, I-"

"Luke, please!" you choked, "I don't want to see you anymore!" You couldn't bear to look at him, but you knew he was about as close to tears as you were – if they weren't already falling.

This was the third time this month you'd told Luke to get out of your apartment, but he always came back; He always came back and you always made up. But as he left on this night, you couldn't help but feel like it was different – you couldn't help but feel like you'd made the biggest mistake of your life.

A couple hours later

It hadn't even been two hours since the argument and you were still feeling sick to your stomach. You had this heavy feeling in your chest – like you were about to have a panic attack, but no idea why. And when your phone started ringing and you saw Calum's name, your heart started racing, having a haunting feeling that it had something to do with the way you were feeling about the fight with Luke.

"H-Hey, Cal," you stuttered.

"Y/N, i-it's Luke..." he said, his voice coming out hoarsely like he'd been crying just before he called, "H-He was in an accident... They... They won't tell us his condition or anything until we get to the hospital." Without another word, you immediately ended the call and grabbed your keys, running out to your car.

You parked your car in the emergency room parking lot, having barely just put it in park before you were jumping out and running into the building. You saw Michael sitting in one of the chairs in the waiting room – no one else there with him.

As the doors opened, the blonde looked up, his eyes immediately narrowing.

"This is all your fault!" Michael shouted suddenly, jumping up from his seat and coming over to you. Your eyes widened as you backed away from him, only to jump when your back hit the wall. "If you weren't so goddamn stubborn, none of this would be happening!" he continued ranting, "Luke has done nothing but love you and you're too stupid to accept it! Things would have been so much better if he'd never met you!"

"Michael!" you heard Ashton shout as he and Calum ran down the hallway as they came out of the bathroom, "That's enough!"

"Like hell it is! It's not like I'm telling her something she doesn't already know!" he replied, never taking his eyes off of you.

"Okay, we're going outside," he stated dryly.

"Why would we do that?! I'm not done yet!" Michael insisted.

"Yes, you are, Michael!" Ashton replied, grabbing his friend's arm and dragging him out the door.

You and Calum stood there in silence for a moment. He watched you as you stared straight ahead, not blinking or anything.

"Y/N..." he said carefully.

You finally let out a breath and the tears began falling, but you didn't even acknowledge him. All you did was push yourself off the wall and start running.
