Day Eleven (Part 1)

Luke had his hand under his head and he was looking at the person beside him. Sylvia. It's been an hour and he knew she wasn't asleep because he could tell by how she always changed her position on the bed.

"Are you okay?" he whispered slowly. Sylvia then looked at him.

"Maybe. No, I'm tired but I can't sleep," she rubbed her eyes after she said that. Luke then looked at her and thought for awhile.

"Is it okay if um..if I uh--" he said nervously.

"You what?"

"If I..cuddle you until you fall asleep?" his voice was barely audible but Sylvia got what he meant. She stared at him and she felt her face burning.

"You what me?" she asked checking if she heard him right.

"Just...turn around," Luke told and Sylvia did what he said. When her back was facing him, he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. Sylvia got shivers but then she tried to be comfortable. Luke's chin was on top of her head and he hummed something softly that she felt his chest vibrating on her back.

Just took a few minutes until she finally got what she wanted. Sleep.

It was different with what Ashton's doing. He was watching the girl he adored sleeping and memorizing every parts of her face.

She only knew her for probably a week but he already put interests on her. But what about her to him? She definitely liked that Max guy and by what he saw himself, Max and him had so many differences. Max was definitely cleaner not like him. And greater? Probably.

He's not gonna say he loves her because that's gonna be so cliché. But liking someone you know for a week wasn't a bad thing right?

He tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear and connected his fingers with hers. But suddenly Nathalie opened her eyes slowly. Ashton panicked that she woke up so he pretended to close his eyes and sleep.

Nathalie saw him sleeping and realized that they're holding hands. She was surprised knowing that and didn't know why but she then let go of his hand. She turned around so now Ashton was facing her back. He opened his eyes and felt disappointed. He looked at his own hand that's not holding hers anymore then sighed.

He didn't  realize that he sighed too loud that Nathalie heard him and she turned around again. Now Ashton didn't have time to pretend sleeping anymore. They stared at each other and Nathalie smiled at him. She then leaned closer until her head rested right on his chest. Ashton shocked but then he put his hand on her back and pulled her closer.

"Nath," he called.

"Yeah?"

"I think I kinda like y--"

"Ash," she cut his sentence, "um, can you save that for later?" she said.

Ashton stayed silent for awhile before saying, "okay. Good night," to her.

That night was cold and some of them were freezing. Something to know that Joy realy got her blanket. She was wrapped inside Michael's arms. She couldn't deny the fact that she loves the warmth she got from Michael since the first time they slept together on the sofa. And she loves the way Michael rubbed her back until she fall asleep, the way Michael acted around her along the week, she loves how awkward he could be to her, how cute he was, and she realized that she loves everything about him.

The sound of the ticking clock kept Calum's eyes opened. He couldn't get any sleep since they arrived in that house five hours ago. It was 4 in the morning that time and Calum was looking at the ceiling. He had been thinking about what Jack said before. He was right, Calum realized that he's actually losing the only person he had left in his life slowly.
