Natalie's pov.

After me, mike, and Ashton ate they left and went to check on some things.

I fell asleep, suddenly waking up to another nightmare.
Iv had about 3 a week, every week.
I was beginning to go insane, almost literally.
I looked at the clock on the wall that read 3:00

I couldn't take it anymore. I got up out of my bed and immediately felt pain. I walled to my window and wished everything was different, but yet the same

Then I heard a door open, I quickly turned around

"Hello?"
It was calum's voice

"Hey"
I responded with a fake cheerful mood.

"Sooo, the doctors said you can leave today, in about an hour. I went to the store because I didn't think you had anything to wear to go home in so, I got you some things" He put a bag on my bed and came to give me a hug

"Awe thank you so much. you really didn't need to do that, I could've worn the clothes I came in with."

"No offense, but... it didn't look comfy. I'm into comfort, i don't care what it look like, as long as it's comfy."

I laughed at the thought that i was into comfort too, just didn't get to pick clothes at the orphanage.

"Awe, well thank you, this will be better"
I couldn't help but turn my face and get watery eyed

"Hey, what's wrong?" He said it in such a way, I felt protected, he was strong.

I stiffened trying to hold back tears.

"Im sorry, its just...things have been so hard for me over the years and i never had anyone like you guys there for me"

"Why?"

"My parents abused me. all the time. and my brother would get me in trouble so he could watch me get beat.
I just, I-I had another brother. I loved him so much.
I wouldn't have hurt him ever, but my other brother set a fire, and was trying to blame it on me... But, I was outside, and the fire got out of control. I didn't go in and try to save him, the fire spread so fast, I-i was trapped in the back yard and my brother, I didn't see him, but I heard him screaming for me"

"Don't do this to yourself, it wasn't your fault"

I looked him in the eye and his eyes where sparkling too almost as bad as I was but he stopped and wiped his eyes.

We heard a knock on the door, thankfully it was just Michael. Turned with our eyes glistening from tears that didn't dare escape.

"What's up with u guys?"
He looked so confused

Calum looked at me
"can I tell him?"

I nodded and hoped he wouldn't over react.

"Tell me what?"

"Her family was in a fire a while back"

I looked at him and he came over and hugged me.

"I-i just came in to tell you Luke is signing the discharge papers."

"Ok thanks"
I got the clothes on my bed and headed into the bathroom to put everything on and get ready to go.
