(December 16th 2015 it is today

You know what happened 4 years ago today?

;--------) just wait

Anyways I wrote that blurb yesterday it's now the 17th and exactly 6 months to my birthday

Yes I do take days to write a chapter because I write like 1 sentence a day

And I know people are gonna ask me "When are you doing someone else's POV"

You sneaky snake that'll give you answers of what happened

So basically you have no idea what's happening with anyone but Ashton unless they're in the same room

Uh do you guys want me to add Dan and Phil? I could do that but they wouldn't be major rolls)

The two of us walk down the hall, me walking slightly behind Harry. I admit I'm slightly scared. I was here just a day ago and now my supposed best friend, 1 of 3, was here. I'm not sure I could call Luke my best friend since Calum did seem pretty snotty with him.

Wait. The text.

I didn't think he would do it. I'm sorry, Ashton

"Harry, do you have my phone?" I ask.

"Uh I think.... Right here." Harry says, pulling the device from his back left pocket. He hands it to me, giving me a look. "Don't do anything. I trust you but for the good of your own health-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it."

(It's now December 18th and I will keep telling you the date every time I write something in this chapter)

Harry hands me the phone with the shiny apple on the back. I turn it on and see the text still on the screen.

I didn't think he would do it. I'm sorry, Ashton

Suddenly, another text shows up.

I see you checking your phone, Ash

I look up, trying to find the blond on my lock screen that Calum showed me

You won't be able to find me

"Ash? Ready to go see Calum?" Harry asks. I nod and see that we've stopped in front of an open door. On the top of the doorframe is the number 214 engraved in silver on the black rectangle.

Harry leads me in, smiling when he sees Mali sitting beside the bed, holding a tan hand. Harry pulls the curtain back more to reveal a sleeping Calum.

"He was bored and I told him to sleep.  Ash, can you wake him? I need to talk to Harry." Mali whispers. I nod and Mali motions me to join her.

"He needs some sort of comfort when he sleeps or he'll panic. Hold his hand or hug him or something. And wake him up gently." Maili instructs. I nod and she drops his hand. I quickly replace hers with mine.

Wow, his grip is tight.

('Tis now the 22nd)

Harry and Mali walk out of the room, leaving me to wake Calum.

"Calum." I say, leaning over him. I shake his right shoulder. "Calum, bud. Time to wake up."

He grumbles, shifting slightly.

"Caluuuum." I whine, poking his cheek.

He groans, his eyelids fluttering open. Calum blinks a few times then squints at me.

"Hi." I grin.

"Ashton." He gasps, smiling. He notices our hands still intertwined and yanks me down on top of him. Calum wraps his arms around my back to keep me planted against him.

(To any Cashton shippers: I'm sorry)

"Whoa, okay." I mumble into his shoulder. Calum giggles as he hugs me closer.

"I'm sorry." Calum says after a moment of silence.

"You'd better be." I say jokingly. "Now I'm going to have to superglue our hands together."

Calum giggles again, half -heartedly.

"You know I love you, right?" I mutter in his ear. Calum burrows his face into my shoulder. "Please don't do that to me again."

"I won't." Calum says

"Promise me."

"I promise I won't. You can kick my balls while riding a wrecking ball if I do." Calum says, a smile tracing his voice. I chuckle, shaking my head.

(Btw if you think I messed up (spelling, grammar, facts, ages, birthdates, contact names, setting colours, anything really) , please don't be afraid to tell me. I would really appreciate it. Yes I did put brackets inside of brackets don't judge)

(I just realized I could enter both Luke and Michael here but I'm not gonna.)

"Uh,  Ash?" Harry says from the doorway. I lift my head to look at him. "We really have to go."

"Right now?" I ask.

"I don't want him to leave." Calum mutters, pressing me further into him.

"Well you're leaving too." Harry says he glances behind him and quickly closes the door.

"Harry, what's going on?" I ask, separating myself from Calum. I stand up, not walking because, well, Calum's gripping my hand like its an edge and he's hanging off a cliff.

"Nothing." Harry says. "We just have to leave-"

"Why do we have to leave?" I interrupt him.

"Ashton, trust me. You shouldn't-"

"CALUM! ASHTON!" A teenage girl's voice screams with a bunch of bangs on the door. I hear several more bangs on the door followed by a wave of female screams.

"Well, now we can't leave." Harry chuckles.

"You know..." I say. "I'm starting to question what I am to this world."

Harry chuckles dryly. He winces at the volume of the next wave of screams and presses his back more firmly against the door.

"Ashton, can you help me out here?"

I nod and remove my hand from Calum's, not looking in his direction. I join Harry in leaning against the door.

"So..." I trail off, shifting my weight onto a different part of my shoulder. "You're not going to tell me what's going on?"

"Zombie apocalypse." Harry grins. I snort.

(Wow this chapter is taking a while. It's the 25th now)

"Harry, seriously."

"Ashton, don't." He warns.

"Please." I whine. "You can't hide everything from me!"

"Actually," he says,"I can."
