World So Cold

~Calum's pov~


I woke up the next morning with a stinging pain coming from my nose. I looked in the mirror and remembered that it was broken.


I got up from my bed and ran downstairs to get breakfast. And in the moment I realized that my parents still didn't know about my nose.


"Good morn- what happened to your nose." My mum said in shock, getting closer to me and observing it.


"It's okay I got," punched by my so called friend Luke "hit with a ball in gym, it wasn't this bad yesterday." Well that last part was true, it did get worse.


"Here come to the bathroom, I'll clean it up." My mum said, dragging me to the bathroom.


Ughhh, why is she like this?


"Mum it's fine really." I whined while she was still dragging me to the bathroom.


"It's throbbing." She pointed out. I looked in the mirror and realized that she was right.


My mum started cleaning my nose with rubbing alcohol, making wince in pain each time she touched it. I swear this lady is so overprotective.


~Liana's pov~


My mum woke me up this morning, gently rubbing her hand on my arm.


"Hey Li, is your eye feeling better?" She whispered softly. My mum had a soft side too, she wasn't just always in a rush and crazy.


"Not really" I say, burying my face into my pillow, but soon realizing it was a bad idea. I scrunched up my face in pain.


"Yea, you probably shouldn't do that" My mum laughed lightly before getting up and leaving my room.


Thank god it was a Saturday. No school.


I got up and looked in the mirror, realizing how swollen my eye was today. I quickly got dressed and washed my face the best I could with my swollen and sore eye.


I wonder how Calum is feel- NO LIANA, NO CALUM, DONT THINK OF CALUM!


I suddenly remembered the red glow shining from Ashton's backpack. It was unusual but it brought Luke's charm to mind.


What if it was? Maybe I should I tell him...no, because I don't know for sure. Maybe just incase. Or maybe no because he's a douche who almost dared to put his lips on mine.


I don't know know what to do, but I'm hungry right now and when in want food, I get my food.


When I got downstairs, I actually ate good food for once.


I decided to go for a walk, everybody knows about my eye now so there's no point hiding it


My walk began. I simply just looked around, I didn't smile over the things I usually smiled over, I didn't admire all the trees and flowers in the park, and my mind was just full of very stupid things that had no worth caring about.


I saw Luke coming into the park and tried to hide my self, but of course he saw me and walked over to me. Shit.


"Liana, can we talk?" I tried to roll my eyes, but I'll be nice for today.


"I guess." I sighed, my voice very low.


We walk over to a bench and sit.


"Listen about yesterday, I-I, I don't what came over me." He stammered, keeping his head down.


"It's fine." I say, not making eye contact.


"Is your eye feeling better?" He asked, moving my hair behind my ear and gently touching it with his soft hands. How are his hands so soft with all those tattoos?


"Not really." I mumble.


Suddenly in remembered the charm.


"Oh um Luke?" My voice became a little louder.


"Yeah?" He replied, his head coming up.


"I might know the deal with the red charm you lost." After saying that, I had his full attention.


"What?" He said with a relieved, yet worried look.


"When I was walking to the bus stop yesterday, I saw a small red glow coming from a pocket of Ashton's backpack. I don't know what it was but if it is your charm than you have an answer to where it is." I say softly, trying not to make it seem like a bad thing, even though it is.


"Oh my god, why would he do that?" He asked himself, now looking down again.


"Well, I could be wrong." I said, cringing at the fact that what I just said was probably a lie.


"What if he did though?" Luke sighed, burying his face in his hands.


"I don't know, buts what's the deal about this charm anyways?" I ask curiously.


"I don't really want to talk about it here." He mumbled. I didn't care but I felt kind of bad, he was always that 'cool' kid and it's unusual to see his soft side.


"Than lets go somewhere." I suggested.


"Wanna come to my house?" He asked, looking up. This was awkward, but I didn't want to say no.


"Sure, I guess." I stammered before we both got up and started walking to his house.


I was surprised on how big his house was. We got inside and I could tell he was relieved to see that nobody was home.


"Can we go in my room?" He asked while looking around.


"Okay." I said hesitantly before following Luke up the stairs.


We walked right into his room. I saw the dark blue walls covered with pictures and rock band posters. Also, in one corner of the room, I saw a guitar.


"Do you play?" I asked, walking by the guitar and admiring it.


"Well, yeah." He grinned, blushing in embarrassment.


We both sat on his bed and began our conversation.


"So about that charm..." I started.
