Calum's POV:

Chris fell asleep a few hours ago. It's now 4:29am. I feel terrible that she is having her birthday here, but I can't do anything about that. After she had fallen asleep, Tom and Rebecca had left to get things to surprise her. We hoped to make this birthday some what good.

What if I hadn't taken Chris? Would she be in this state? Lila would still be alive, and so would Ashton. This is all my fault.

What have I done? I caused her to loose her best friend, her brother. She's lost enough. Why have I done this?

I stroke Chris' hand as she sleeps. The IV dug into her vein. I look at her deeply. She's so skinny. She's not been eating well. You can clearly tell. Her wrist are so small. How is the first time I'm properly seeing this?

I see small scars on her arm, a small tear trickles down my face and I sniffle deeply. Am I that much of a bad brother I let this happen?

She has to have a feeding tube that is placed through her nose and down her throat. I gag every time I think about it.

My eye lids begin to become weighted. I can't stay awake...
I've been to focused on hoping Chris is okay and Lila and Ashton uhhhhhhh!!!

Calum stop!

Seriously!!!

Eventually I give in, I close my eyes.

Rebecca's POV:

"How you feeling?" I ask Tom. He quickly glances at me. "Uh... I'm feeling a bit woozy but I'm exhausted." He states. I place a gentle hand on his back. "Yeah, I think we all feel like that..." I quickly catch the glance of a teddy bear. "What about this as well?"

He smiles and nods at me. We pay for the items and start heading back to Chris' room. We knock before we enter but nobody answers. So we quietly open the door. As we walk inside we notice both Chris and Calum are asleep. Cal is holding Chris' hand.

I smile in awe

I smile in awe. I place the items down and freeze as Calum inhales deeply. His eyes slowly open. "Sorry, did I wake you?" I ask apologetic. He smiles and shakes his head.

"What did you get?" He asks. I show him a ready bear and a gift box. He chuckles. "She loves teddies" my heart throbs. She's such a sweet girl. "You and Tom are dating aren't you?" I ask as Tom pecks Calum's cheek. They both nod.

"So would it be weird if I asked out Chris?" I hesitate. I cringe at the words that just left my mouth. But I can't help it.

She's beautiful, she's smart, she's just amazing. Her gorgeous red hair that shines with any light that fought against it. It's long and luscious. My hair is just brown and straight. The ocean-blue ring that perimeters the pupil of her eyes. They remind me of the ocean. I love the ocean. It reminds me of peace.
