One Hundred Days

Day 20

I woke up with Calum holding my hand. He was awake and scrolling on his phone. But Mikey and Luke weren't here. I tried to talk but my voice didn't work. My arms were stiff and there was a clear liquid dripping into my bloodstream. I watched Calum and he carried on scrolling for a few minutes before he looked down in me.

"Oh my god, thank god you're awake again. You were out the whole of yesterday and most of the day before that. It's Thursday and the other two have gone to pack," Calum said, "We leave tomorrow," he continued.

"I can't come can I," I mumbled my voice sounded really quiet and horse. Calum shook his head.

"No, no you can't but you can't be airborne until your ribs are fully healed. In February so," Calum told me.

"Who am I staying with," I asked.

"Mikey decided as it was only a writing visit to the states that he wasn't going but we told him that you could stay with your aunt or Ni's girlfriend," Calum told me.

"But I don't want to stay with my Aunt or Sarah or by myself I want to stay with you guys," I murmured. Calum look exasperated.

"But you can't fly it'll hurt you," Calum replied.

"Cali I don't want to stay here with out one of you guys," I replied. I know they were here 24/7 when I was. Making sure I wasn't alone in the room just in case I woke up. I wouldn't wake up by myself. I felt tears forming in my eyes.

"I know babes it just we have to go all of us or Ashton will kick up a fuss. That will be dangerous," Calum told me. I pouted and Cal just laughed at me. Just then ran in.

"Calum, Calum I'm not leaving with put Chloe. I know it will put all our carriers on the line but I can't just leave her here," Mikey panted. I let his words seep in.

"No you're going you're all going," I said. I couldn't be the reason they lost their favourite thing in the world.

"Chloe are you sure," Calum said turning to me.

"I can't put myself before you're happiness," I told them. Luke came in. With Ashton.

"The car comes in an hour we needed an earlier flight," Ashton said.

"Not yet. I'll leave tomorrow but not today. I can't," Mikey said.

"Why not your precious little sister isn't coming tomorrow either," Ashton growled.

"I need to set up someone to look after her," Mikey retorted.

"I'm staying too," Calum added, "Someone needs to be here when Chloe wakes up everyday. You take Luke and we'll catch a plane tomorrow. We're aloud to be late if there's a family emergency. This is one of I ever saw one,"

"Just give her back to her mum. It's all she's worth," Ashton said. He hit a nerve. Not just with me with Mikey too. I heard the sound on knuckle on jaw.

"Never say that. Ever again. Got it," Mikey said. Ashton had his hand over his jaw where Mikey hit. It was rather red and swollen already.

"See this is all your fault. You should've put her in care in the first place. She causes so many fucking problems," Ashton snarled. I shut my eyes. Maybe he was right.

"Ashton you're stupid she's better off with me. With us," Mikey retorted. Lies. Everything was a lie to me now. I didn't know who was true and who was lying to me. I shut out everything from that point on. I heard the static of radio and the murmurs of voices from others but I didn't listen to what they're saying.

Hair was tickling my face. I opened my eyes and Mikey was asleep on my pillow his hair tickling my face. Calum was on the phone with someone.
