Dakota (6:15pm): no it's not. I need to stop running away from my problems

Calum (6:16pm): what do you mean?

Dakota (6:17pm): I'll tell you in a sec. Can you plz add everyone else?

Dakota (6:20pm): I need to be honest with you guys

Dakota (6:20pm): it's not something that should be said through text but oh well.

Calum (6:21pm): what do you mean?

Dakota (6:25pm): the reason I got scared and left when Calum called me Kota was because my dad used to call me that and he's dead because of me

Luke (6:26pm): what do you mean?

Dakota (6:26pm): can I skype? I can't do this through text

Calum (6:27pm): sure. Why not FaceTime instead? Everyone can sit with me

Dakota (6:28pm): sure.

Dakota is FaceTiming you

"Hey guys..." Dakota said quietly. Calum hadn't seen a picture of the girl before and quite frankly the girl in front of him was beautiful!

She had long dead straight brown hair and greyish eyes full with tears. Her skin was rather pale and her cheeks had sprinklings of freckles across them.

"Wow..." Calum said and let out a low whistle. "You're beautiful." he told her.

"No I'm not but okay." she said with a small sad smile.

"Dakota!" a female sounding voice shouted in the background.

"Hey Eleanor." she giggled slowly.

"Go on, you need to tell them Dakota they won't judge you." Eleanor told the brunette girl.

"I know, it's just... Never mind." Dakota felt a fresh wave of tears prickle at her eyes as she started her story. "The reason I freaked out when you called me Kota was cause when I was really little that's what my parents used call me before they- they died." Dakota choked slightly and let the tears just start flowing.

"Keep going if you want love." Calum said softly.

The girl they were all watching through the small phone screen smiled slightly before continuing, "I... I killed him." she whispered.

"What!?" all but Eleanor was shocked.

"He- He came at me. He had a knife..." she sniffled. "He was going to kill me... My own d-dad..."

"Stop if you have to. Don't feel pressured." Calum said softly. Oh how much he'd have killed to have been there and held the crying girl in his arms.

"N-No! I want to." Dakota said and wiped her eyes. "It w-was either him o-or me a-a-and it was him... I wish it was me instead. I stabbed him with a barbie doll's foot." she said. "The police let me off since I was eleven at the time and it was in self defence. I-I still killed h-him though and i-it haunts m-me all t-t-the time." she finished.

"Holy shit..." Michael breathed. "That's not what I was expecting."

"No shit." Luke snorted.

Dakota frowned more at their words.

"Are you okay?" Calum asked and left the others so he could talk to the girl alone.

"Honestly?" Calum nodded. "No I'm not. The memories haunt me all the time. I need to get away from it all." she told him.

"Come with us." He said. "If you need to get away from it then join me on tour, catch up with Eleanor and get to know the guys." he finished hopefully.

"O-Okay..." Dakota replied.
