Lost Without Them (Ashton Irwin Story)

Don't.

Storm's POV

We leave the boys alone on stage tonight, Paul leaving another guard of security tonight and tagging along with me. As for me, I'm still in the guy's dressing room.

"Hey Paul, Blaine's online, you wanna set up a Skype call?" I call over to him from where I sit on the couch with my laptop on my laptop.

Paul who is sitting on a couch opposite me quickly agrees and moves over to this couch. I start the call before placing the laptop on the table so we are in view of the camera. The call is quickly accepted and Blaine's voice can be heard through the laptop.

[[[[[[(Italics-Blaine)]]]]]]

"Storm! Oh, and Uncle Paul, not forgetting you."

"Hey Blaine" Paul says as I wave my greeting.

"How is tour going guys?"

"It's alright, got its ups and downs but the waiting around while the boys are off doing something is long but I'll get used to it." I answer.

"I deal with this lot on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure you already understand what it's like with one but multiply it by 10 and you'll be pretty close to how I feel on tour right now." Paul says, causing Blaine to laugh.

"Hey, I'm not that bad considering I am currently keeping my boys in check and you handle the 1d boys...barely" I complain, pouting about having been labelled as trouble.

"No, you keep 2 of your boys in check, might be because one of them is attached to you 24/7 and your brother does anything you ask. Calum and Luke...they 'entertain' themselves but I guess you could take credit for them being less hassle than the 1d guys." He argues before finally admitting that my boys are better behaved than his.

"I will never understand why you call them your boys Storm since their all older than you but ok...Now what's this I hear about one of them being attached to you?" Blaine pauses, "And in what way is this attachment?" He finishes off.

"He likes her and they're pretty close but as far as I can tell that's as far as this goes right now."Paul answers

Blaine stays quiet as I realise he wants me to say it.

"I guess there are some feelings there..." I trail off

"You guess?" Blaine smirks through the screen.

"I'm not rushing this like last time Blaine, you remember what happened then and I don't want any repeats." I grumble. "I get it, everyone knows I like him but I can't mess this up, not again." I say quietly.

"What happened wasn't your fault Storm, maybe I don't know these boys as well as you but I know for damn sure that stuff like that just wouldn't happen. You didn't mess anything up; if anyone is to blame it is him for not keeping his promise..." Paul trails off, trying to convince me that it was never my fault.

Both boys hate when this gets brought up but I can't just forget something like that, he was everything to me but I turned out to be nothing to him and all because I couldn't give him what he wanted.

"Look Storm, we'll talk about this properly when we get out there but please just listen to us when we say that everything that happened was never your fault. I would do anything if it meant you could go back to before and for it to never happen but I can't but neither can I bear watching you blame this on yourself." Blaine states.

"But if I had jus-"Blaine cuts me off.

"If you had just nothing Storm. What happened can't be changed now and there is no point dwelling on it and thinking about the 'what ifs'."
