9. Aurora

Calum's p.o.v

For the past four hours Ashley has been acting weird.

She seems a bit more happier which makes me feel good, but I know something is up with her.

"Ashton and Michael know your mom. They know where she is. We will make a plan up and grab weapons to go safe Luke and find out all the hidden secrets." I say as Ashley washes some dishes.

"Oh. I didn't knew that, but it sounds great." I go towards Ashley and I wrap my arms around Ashley.

"Babe what's wrong? You are hidding something." I feel Ashley loosen up and starts to sob.

"I'm scared." She says as she looks at me.

"Baby nothing is going to happen. I will protect you no matter what." I place a small kiss on Ashley's neck and help her out with the dishes.

Ashley's p.o.v

"I'll be back babe. The lads want me to go meet them for the plan okay?" I nod.

Calum presses his lips to mine and gives me a small smile.

Its 6:34 p.m.

I either go or stay. Two choices that where no good.

I grab the car keys of Luke and run to the car which we brought from my house. I look at the mirr

or and my reflection looks terrible. I have big bags under my eyes. I look paler and skinnier.

"I'm sorry Calum." I say as I leave the driveway.

My hands begin to sweat and my legs tremble. I have no idea what awaits to me in that old garage of ours.

That garage contains our old stuff, which I call a treasure because it helds things Luke and I used to play with.

As I turn to my right I see the old gray garage. It looks the same as five years ago. The last time I came to the place.
I look at the clock, 7:13 p.m.

I turn off the engine and open the door.

Every step I take makes me feel heavier. A huge knot in my stomach forms.

I go at the back of the garage and there it is the door leading me to either my death or nothing good.

I take a minute to prepare myself to anything.

I grab on the cold handle.

I twist it.

The door flies open. Revealing a whole bunch of toys and other boxes.

I walk in holding myself together.
I see a favorite toy of Luke and I.

It's a old set of play guitars.

I smile to all these memories we had together. I really miss my brother.

"Ashley we finally meet once again." I look around to see where that voice I've missed for so long came from.

A women then appears wearing black tight close.

Her tattoos being exposed.

Her short hair making her look young.

This can't be my mom. This women is not my mother.

"Its me Aurora, your mother." Her cold words come out as if i didn't mean anything to her.

"This can't be you, mom. You, you never looked like this or anythig of what you look now." I couldn't believe what I had in my face.

The only thing she didn't loose was her eye color.

"Things change over years. Tie her up boys!" Two man then come in running with guns and rope.

A man grabs me by my wrist making it crack. I scream out because of the harsh pain.

I try to get away from his grip, but between the both of them it made it impossible to get away.

"You've been a really naughty girl, Ashley." My mom says as she strokes my face with her hands.

"Stop doing this please. Mom, I need you. I missed you so much. Please. What are you doing with me and Luke?" I wanted to blurt out so many things out to her, but I didn't knew how to.

"Fuck you and Luke. Both do you ruined our plans to be happy. I had to fake my happiness with both of you so I could manipulate you. And it did work." This was the worse pain I ever felt it the whole world.

My own mom never loved me and Luke. I felt like someone just stabbed me in my heart.

"Why are you doing this? Why did dad and you fake your death? Why would you hurt us like this?" Heavy tears start to fall down my eyes.

"Because I want you and your brother to feel the same pain we felt when we had you. We want to be happy without both of you."

She doesn't even show a bit of emotion for her words. I really can't believe what they turned out to be.

Complete assholes.

"Please. Don't hurt Luke all he was trying to do was protect me. I love him. Ple-"

"Shut your damn little mouth Ashley! Haven't you realized that I'm going to kill both of you! Even Calum!"

"Keep Calum away from this! He didn't do anything to you!" Anger fills throughout my body.

My mom then walks toward me. A strange feeling comes over me. Not fear, but something worse.

Her eyes look directly at mine. I try to find some type of emotion in her, but nothing shows up in her eyes.

"I really hate you Ashley." A huge pain exploded in my stomach.

My eyes shut in, my feet becoming a rock, and my hands feeling loose.

I look down and I see a knife in my stomach.

I scream out in pain. I breathe in and out to calm the pain, but it does nothing.

Blood won't stop bursting out. My pants and my shirt are already soaked up.

I start to see Black spots in my eyes.

I turn to look at my mom. She has a huge grin in her face.

A man comes to me and pulls out the knife making the pain feel worse. He then laughs and strikes the knife back in my stomach.

The pain has made me numb. Tears fall down uncontrollably.

Then the thing that I would expect less happened.

I hear screams come from behind the garage. I manage to get to recognize the voices. It was Ashton, Michael, and Calum.

Bullets where flying everywhere. I fall down to the floor. I feel blood start to come out of my mouth.

I look around and I see one man dead on the floor.

My mom and the other man dissapeared.

Calum then runs to me.

He places the gun next to him. He starts to say some words, but I can't manage to understand.

I look at Calum and smile.

The memory of me and him meeting back at my house for the first time strikes back at me. I can still feel his lips on me.

I see Calum with tears in his eyes.

I try to speak, but the world then goes black.

Tbh I'm even surprised with how this story has escalated......
