Ashley p.o.v

I slowly open my eyes.

I'm back at Calum's room.

The white walls making it seem like a hospital room.

"How are you feeling, Ashley?" I hear Calum say as he enters the room.

"I'm ok." I say.

"We talked to Lucy and she's sorry she thought you hurt Luke, but it was me."

I then remember what happened. Lucy knocked me out without hesitation.

"What really happened to Luke? Is he ok?" I ask.

"He just passed out. And his jaw is swollen. But yeah he is feeling better." Calum then hands me a glass of water.

I swallow all of it in seconds making me feel much better.

"I got scared when you passed out. I was afraid you wouldn't wake up." Calum said as he bit his nails.

I then realized how much he does care about me. Making me feel safe.

"Thanks for caring." I whisper.

"Can I confess something to you?" Calum seems nervous than usual.

I nod and smile to make him better.

"There is this girl I used to love. Her name is Abigail. We dated for two years. One night some assholes jumped us. I had a gun with me. I killed three of them. I was trying to kill the last one, but I accidently shot Abigail. She's been in a comma for two years. My whole point on this is that the love I feel for her is gone. I lost love, but you are bringing that feeling back." It took time for me to take in all those words.

I stayed quiet for a while making the atmosphere weird.

"The only type of love I've felt was with my family. But with you I feel different. A different feeling. And I like it." I see Calum smile.

"Thank you for making me feel human once again." I gently sit up and place my hand on Calums hand.

"What happened to your mother Calum?" I finally ask realizing there is no one but him and his dad living in this house.

"She, she passed away." I saw Calum's eyes get watery making me feel his pain for also loosing my parents.

My body then drifted to his. I embraced my arms in his waist holding him close to me. I then felt his arms around my waist and up my back.

I can feel his sobs and his tears on my shirt.

"Sorry. I've never cried in front of anyone." Calum says as he shows a small smile.

"I won't judge, Calum." I can tell by the look of his face that he is in pain.

"I need to take a shower. I smell like a pile of dog poop." Calum laughs and gives me a towel.

"I'm going to need close though." I say.

"I'll leave the smallest close I have in the bed. I'm going out for a while. Don't open the door to anyone." I laugh to what he said at the end.

"Thanks Calum. I feel like your little baby." I playfully say.

"Its because you are." I feel my cheeks start to get hot.

Calum then wraps his arms around my waist pressing my body to his.

"I'll be back as soon as I can okay?" I nod.

I take the towel and head to take a shower.

Its been around an hour and Calum is not back. I start to get worried, but I'm sure he's doing fine.

I then hear the front door open. I decide to stay here just in case if its Calum's dad.

For a moment there is silence.

Footsteps are the next thing I hear coming up the stairs. I start to get worried.

The next minute the door swings open revealing Luke.

I quickly stand up the bed and just stare at him. He looks pale and with bruices are all over his face.

"Luke. What are you doing here? Get out!" I say.

"I'm not forcing you to make a choice between me or Calum, but I'm going to let you know something I've kept from you for the past three years." I'm afraid to what Luke will say next.

"Our parents never died. Their still alive." I run up to Luke and with all my force I push him up the wall.

I know he must be lying I went to their funerals I saw their dead body.

"Luke you're fucking lying! I saw our parents body! I saw their dead bodies they can't be alive!" Tears start to fall down my eyes.

My anger turned into tears.

"I thought you would say that. Here is a note of mom. Has her hand writing and date she wrote it. Your bags of close are downstairs. Forget about you having a brother. You choosed him over me. I just wanted to protect you." Luke then pushes me away and puts a piece of paper on a small table.

I'm left alone with my thoughts. Tears won't stop streaming down my eyes.

I can't believe my parents are still alive.

I still remember my mom and dad perfectly.

My mom's curly long hair falling down perfectly and my dad's short blonde hair.

I remembered my mom's amazing food she always made. Everything just falled out of place.

I needed to find out what that note had in it, but I'm too afraid to open it.

I stand up and I lay down in Calum's bed.

Memories go by of me and my mom and some of my dad.

Eventually I drift off to a deep sleep keeping in mind that I will have to find out where in this world my parents are.
