Chapter 25

A S H T O N

I practically ran down the hospital hallway, reading the room numbers as I went.

"125, 125, 125," I mumbled as I passed room 120. "125!" I stood in front of room 125, my hand hesitating to grab and twist the doorknob.

I let out a breathe and twisted the door knob and pushed. The door creaked open. As a response to the noise, Daisy looked away from the window and at me.

"Daisy!" I sighed, feeling the tears fill my eyes. "I'm so sorry."

I ran to her side, and grabbed her hand. I rubbed the palm of her hand with my thumb.

"Don't." she turned away and yanked her hand out of mine.

"I'm sorry." I wiped my tears. "I'm so sorry. Daisy, please give me another chance. I-I need you."

Silence.

"Please. I already broke up with Heidi. She's gone. You don't need to worry about her anymore." I sobbed. "I'll do anything. I'll let you date, I'll teach you how to drive, I won't be so strict with your bedtime. Just . . . Just come home."

Silence. That was it. She was gone. Daisy wasn't going to come home.

As I was crying, I felt arms wrap around me and squeeze. It was Daisy. I sighed in relief, hugging her back, twice as tight. I pulled her off the bed, still holding her in my arms, and spun her around.

Daisy laughed as I set her back on the floor, but I didn't let go of her. I was never going to let go of her.

"Michael! Calum!" I ran into the two boy's arms. After we pulled away I saw Luke awkwardly standing to the side.

"Luke!" I called, jumping into his arms.

After we all hugged Ashton came in, looking exhausted. His hair was messy and he had dark bags under his eyes.

"He didn't sleep last night." Michael whispered.

"Why?"

"He didn't like that you had to stay here another night," Michael answered. "He really wanted you at the hotel with us."

Yesterday was when Ash came into my room a crying mess and practically begged I forgive him. I ran over to Ashton and hugged him the longest.

"Awe! No fair. Why does Ashton get the longest hug?" Luke whined. I laughed and started packing.

"Feels like we're missing someone." Calum said as he picked up one of the teddy bears and handed it to me.

Right on cue, Dani walked through the door. I dropped the teddy bear and ran to her, giving her a long hug as well. We all settled down, and the boys sat around the room as I packed all of the stuffed animals into my bag.

"Dani!" it seemed like I hadn't seen her in months, by the way I hugged her. I pulled back, smiling up at my family.

"I'm so tired." I moaned once we walked into the hotel. After we left the hospital we went to this giant mall until the fans found us.

"Netflix and chill?" Michael asked us, collapsing on the couch in front of the TV in the living room.

"Michael!" Ashton scolded. "We do not say those types of things in this household."

Michael grumbled.

"I'm up for it." Calum sat next to him, cheekily pulling Dani with him. She laughed as she laid down across his lap.

"Sure. I'll go get blankets and popcorn." Luke turned on his heel and walked out the room.

I sat on the floor with Ashton. "Can we watch a Disney film?" I asked the group.

"I guess." Michael switched on the TV and went onto Netflix and signed in.

We eventually settled on Tinkerbell, which Michael and Ashton complained and whined about. Dani and Calum snuggled on one side of the couch, while Michael and Luke sat on the other side. Ashton and I had made a makeshift bed on the floor out of pillows and blankets.

40 minutes into the movie and everyone had fallen asleep. Including me. I sighed contently and cuddled in Ashton's arms, my eyes drooping until I fell asleep.

My dad turned one last time, looked at me one more time, then got back into the car.

I watched in confusion, not realizing I was being abandoned until the car was getting further and further away, and my sisters screams for me got quieter and quieter.

***

I woke up to the sound of a girl crying. It took me a moment to realize the cries were coming from me. I had the dream.

I looked around the dark room, taking in the surroundings. Ashton must have carried me to my room, since I had fallen asleep in the living room but woke up in here.

I clumsily got out the bed and tiptoed out of my room. I walked to Ashton's room and didn't even bother knocking.

"Ash?" I sniffed, closing the door behind me. He was rolled up in the blankets, sprawled across the bed.

"Ashton?" I whimpered, padding over to the side of his bed.

"Hm?" he tiredly mumbled, half awake.

"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep in here with you?" I shifted my weight to my other foot.

"Yeah, sure." he lifted the blanket up so I could slide in. I couldn't sleep, instead shifted around for about twenty seconds.

Ashton - who fell asleep long ago - rolled over in his sleep and wrapped his arm around me. He pulled me back so my face was inches away from his neck. His arms were strong and safe, yet warm and comforting. The perfect place for me to sleep.
