Right when Ashton finished knocking, I'm already half way to the door. I open the door quickly and I see a panic looking Ashton standing in front of me.

"What happened Ash?" I ask him.

"Hanley. She started choking or something like that. I don't know what to do." He says, tears falling down his face. I push past Ashton and walked into their room. I see Hanley sitting on the bed, grabbing at her chest, looking around the room.

"Bag. Bag." She gasps. She points over to the corner. I follow her finger and find her bag sitting in the corner. I rush over to it and look through it.

"Hanley, what am I looking for?" I ask.

"Shots." She gasps again. I look back to her bag and finally find the shots. I grab one and walk over to her. She points to her chest and I place the needle there. I push the liquid out of the shot and pull it out. Ashton comes and stands next to me. Hanley's episode slowly comes to an end. She lays down and looks at me and Ashton.

"That was fucking awful." She says, making us laugh.

"I'm so sorry. I should have done done something sooner." Ashton says, sitting down next next to her.

"It's okay, Ash. I'm fine." She say, patting his leg.

"Okay you two. Get to bed." I smile and walk towards the door.

"Thank you Kayla." Hanley says.

"You're welcome." I say, smiling and closing the door. I head back to my room and send Luke a quick text.

*To Luke: Hanley had an episode, but the doctor gave her these shots to take to calm them. She's all good now. I'll see you in the morning Luke. Love you.*

I lay back down and finally go back to sleep.

"KAYLA! GET YOUR ASS UP!" I hear Hanley yell. I roll over and cover my face with the pillow.

"COME ON KAYLA! WAKEY WAKEY!" I hear Ashton yell.

"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" I yell back from the room.

"YOU HAVE GRADUATION PRACTICE BITCH! WAKE UP!" Hanley yells. I jump out of bed quickly and look at my phone.

"SHIT! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" I yell, running towards the bathroom. I change into some clothes and throw my hair up into a messy bun. I brush my teeth quickly and rush out into the living room.

"Slow down speedy." Ashton says, handing me a bottle of water and an apple.

"Shut up." I say, grabbing the food and running out of the door. I get into my car and start it. I pull out of the driveway and driving as quickly as possible.

-----------------------

"You're late Mrs. Holt." Mrs. Ranger says.

"I know. I'm sorry." I say. Mrs. Ranger is over the graduation ceremony. Great, I have to deal her till I graduate.

"Don't let it happen again. Please Mrs. Holt, take a seat." She says. I look around the gym to look for Luke. I soon see his blonde hair standing out, with an empty seat next to him. I walk over to him and sit down.

"Where the hell have you been?" Luke asked me.

"I over slept." I say, laying my head on top of his.

"Well, we get to leave for lunch, so you can take a nap in my car." He says, wrapping his arm around me.

"Mr. Hemmings." Mrs. Ranger says.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Pay attention." She says, turning back towards the stage.

"Yeah Mr. Hemmings, pay attention." I say, nudging his arm.

"Shhhh." Luke whispers to me. The practice goes on for awhile until Mrs. Ranger dismisses us to go and get lunch. Luke wraps his arm around my shoulder while we walk to his car. He opens the passenger door for me.

"Now I can go to sleep." I say, leaning back and curling up into a ball.

"Here." He says, reaching into the back seat, grabbing a blanket and reaching it to me.

"Oh thank you so much." I say, grabbing the blanket and wrapping up into it. He starts the car and we start driving.

"So, how is Hanley this morning?" He asks.

"Bitchy." I smile.

"When isn't she?" He laughs.

"True." I laugh.

"You're keeping something from me." He says out of nowhere.

"What?" I ask, sitting up.

"You're keeping something. Come on Kayla, I know you better than you know yourself." Luke says.

"I'm not keeping anything." I say, looking out the window.

"Kayla, please just tell me." He says, grabbing my hand.

"I'm not keeping anything from you." I say again, jerking my hand away.

Luke pulls of the side of the road and turns the car off. "We will not move from here until you tell me."

"Luke, we'll get in trouble." I say, "Come on."

"Fuck it. Tell me what's wrong. What are you keeping from me baby?" He asks, reaching over and grabbing my hands, "Please tell me."

We sit there in silence for awhile. I need to tell him, he is catching on. I can't keep this from him now. I have to tell him.

"I didn't want to tell you like this." I say, looking down.

"Just tell me baby." He says.

"Luke." I say.

"Kayla." He smiles at me.

"I'm pregnant."
