Close As Strangers // C.H.

Prologue

Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers

Third Person's POV

Calum Hood's rumored girlfriend in car accident with Luke Hemmings

Insider from the hospital says, "The girlfriend, Brooke Williams, now has amnesia. She is unable to remember anything, let alone Calum."

Those seem to be the top stories running along magazines and Internet feeds across the globe for the past week.

Luke was released from the hospital later that night of the accident. Instead of going home to rest though, he went to reintroduce himself to Brooke.

Brooke was kept in the hospital a week. That week consisted of relearning her friends names and about them, trying to remember anything of her past, and most importantly spending time with Calum.

Even though she hasn't recalled anything but some small details of her life, she keeps going everyday to take in more information.

Max and the girls have two more weeks before they are supposed to be back at college. Max has talked to the dean and he is giving both Max and Brooke two months until they will need to return to their classes.

The guys have a week worth of concerts to do before they will have finished their tour. Once touring is finished, however, they will be writing and recording their next album after a month break.

Calum and Max have decided to stay and work with Brooke. Hopefully by taking her back to her hometown and where she spent a lot of time with Calum, she will regain her memories.

The only problem is, Max is worried about taking Brooke home. He hasn't told their mother what happened yet. He also doesn't know if their father will be in town or not. Max certainly doesn't want him or Brooke to have a run in with him.

Because of the accident, the guys had to announce that they were all taken. As expected, it did cause a disruption throughout their fan base.

Some fans were very happy that the guys had their girlfriends to help keep them happy. Other fans, started to send hate to the girls and they hate the fact that another girl has their guys.

Let's just say that everyone is under quite an enormous amount of stress. Hopefully time will help heal all wounds.
