Calum sighed as he sat down on the sofa.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Dove has been asking about her mum again." He mumbled.

"Maybe you should just bite the bullet and tell her." I shrugged. Calum looked at me.

"What?" he scoffed.

"Cal, she's going to have to know sooner or later, and she's going to keep asking until you tell her." I spoke.

"That doesn't mean that I have to tell her right now." He scoffed as he stood up. I sighed as I followed suit.

"I'm just saying, better now than never." I spoke.

"Why are you acting like this is just a casual thing? Dove's mum didn't want her. How the fucking hell do I tell a four-year-old girl that she doesn't have a mum because her mum didn't want her?" he spat.

"Don't turn this on me, Calum, you're the one who doesn't know what's best for your own daughter." I scoffed. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Of course I know what's best for my own daughter." He spat.

"Then tell her about her mum, Calum, she deserves to know." I snapped.

"I have raised Dove on my own for the past four years, I will not let you tell me now how to look after my own daughter!" Calum yelled at the top of his lungs. I shook my head, biting my lip in an attempt to hide my tears.

"Fine. Whatever. I'm sorry for trying to convince you to do what's best for Dove, instead of what's best for yourself." I spat. His eyes widened at me.

"Oh, don't you fucking dare." He snapped, raising his hand. I immediately flinched away from him. His eyes widened as his hand landed in his hair. He lowered it slowly.

"Did you...did you think that I w-would actually..." he stuttered. I gulped before quickly opening the door and running out of Calum's apartment. I ran down to the entrance of the building and ran out of the building. Rain immediately started to fall onto my face as I sat on the steps and let my tears fall.

Calum's P.O.V

Calum raised his hand to run it through his hair. His eyes widened as Y/N immediately flinched away from him. He slowly took his hand out of his hair.

"Did you...did you think that I w-would actually..." he stuttered. She gulped before quickly opening his door and running out of his apartment.

"Y/N, please!" he yelled after her. He choked as he slowly walked back into his apartment, holding his hands up to his hair.

"She actually thought that I would do that...what's wrong with me?" He mumbled to himself.

"What's wrong with me? I need to go after her." He decided as he quickly grabbed his keys and rushed out of his apartment.

Calum rushed to Y/N's door and quickly knocked.

"Please answer, babe, I'm so sorry." He spoke through the door. Nothing.

"Please, Y/N, I'm so sorry for our fight and I'm so sorry that you think I would lay a hand on you." He choked. Silence.

"Fuck this." He mumbled to himself, finding Y/N's key on his keychain and unlocking the door. He opened it and looked around.

"Y/N?! Babe, are you here?" he yelled out. He looked at the table and saw her keys and phone.

"Where is she?" he mumbled to himself before rushing out. He rushed down the stairs and sighed as he saw Y/N sat on the doorstep of the building.
