Calum and I are going to visit Ashton and Alexia. Not too long ago Ashton managed to walk and talk again. He's fine now and little Andrea is two month old and growing to be the cutest little thing I have ever seen. I knock on their wooden door that has a shiny silver 37 written in front. The door opens and Ashton looks beautiful. Wide glasses, hair up in a bun, black sweater and black skinny jeans. He smiles.

"Oh my god hi guys! I haven't seen you in ages." Ashton says pulling both of us into a huge hug.

"Glad to see you can walk and talk again. I really missed you." I say.

"Come on in you guys." He says and we enter to see Alexia kneeling in front of a baby chair and feeding Andrea.

"Here comes the spoon!" She sings and Andrea giggles making Alexia stuff the baby food into her mouth.

"Works every time." She says looking up at Ashton but her eyes widen when they settle one us. Alexia's looking pretty like usual too, her hair is long and curled down to her waist and she's wearing a jean jacket over a tank top and leggings. She's also wearing fluffy socks.

"Calum! Luke!" She shouts as she slides over and engulfs us both into a hug.

"How are you doing?" She asks once pulling away.

"We're doing great, how about you?" Calum asks.

"I got a job at KFC." Ashton grins and Alexia rolls her eyes.

"For the last time, that doesn't sound manly! Mine is way better, I work at a music shop. Like those places where you buy albums and stuff." Alexia says and we nod.

"Well that's amazing you guys."I say.

"Hey, do you guys mind babysitting Andrea for us every Sunday? We both have a shift from 6pm to 8pm and Michael refused." Alexia says walking back over to Andrea. I look over to Calum and he shrugs.

"I don't mind." I say and Calum nods in agreement.

"Great! Thank you guys so much." Alexia smiles.

It hits me that Calum and I both need jobs too. After an hour or two more of catching up, Calum and I decide to go. We walk along the sidewalks, not even sure of where we're going.

"We need jobs too." I say and Calum nods.

"I'm thinking of the library." I shrug and Calum seems to respond with silence again.

"It'll be fun right? Giving out books, getting them back, plus, free reading right?" I say and Calum doesn't reply again making me frown.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Hm? Oh yea, fine." He nods and I frown.

"Calum? You're scaring me. This isn't like you." I say trying to let go of his hand but he has a death grip on it.

"Hey, let go." I say and Calum leans forward and kisses me. I push him off.

"What are you doing?" I ask and lean back. We're in front of our house and he pushes me in and practically throws me on to the bed.

"Calum!" I shout and he begins to nibble at my neck. I attempt to push him off again but he doesn't budge.

"Get off me!" I shout and kick his chest making him hit the wall leaving a dent in it and he slumps down to the floor and seems to have passed out.

"C..Calum?" I call and walk up to him.

I feel panicked again. What's going on? This isn't like him at all. He gets up and holds his head. He looks around and his eyes widen as he looks at me.
