Calum's POV
I was going down the stairs when I heard my mum and Mali talking. 'We can't tell Calum, he'll be hurt and maybe go depress or some shit.' Mali said. 'Mali, we have to tell him. He'll know it sooner or later.' Mum said.
'Tell me what?' I said and they go wide eyes. 'Honey, its noth-' 'Mum, please. Just tell me what is it.' Mum sighed.
'Luke is getting married. Next month.' Mali said with a straight face. 'W-what?' I know they're not joking because mum sighed and nudge Mali. 'This is why we don't wanna tell you Calum. I know you love Luke even if you don't say it. We don't wanna see you cry so I tell mum not to tell you.' Mali said.
I didn't know that tears are falling from my eyes. Tears are blurring my sight as I run to my room and jumped on my bed. Its suddenly hard to breath. My heart is aching so hard and my lungs are struggling to take air. My phone rang and 'Mikey' flashed in the screen. I need his comfort right now.
'Mikey..' I cried. 'Oh f**k this is not the right time.' He muttered. 'Right time to what?' I said. 'Its about y-' 'I already know about the wedding and that's why I'm crying right now. Mikey please comfort me.' I cried loudly. 'Its not about that.'
'Then what?' I said confused. 'I'm breaking up with you.' He said. My eyes widened, no. Not now. 'Mikey please, not now! I need you right now Michael! Please, I beg of you Mike, not right now, when I need your comfort.'
'I'm sorry Cal.'

On the other side,
Luke sat down the couch. 'Mum, Dad.' He said and turned to Arzaylea's parents. 'Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Celia.'
'I want to talk to you about something.'
