Ashton's heart dropped. It wasn't a dream, yet it was a nightmare; a living nightmare. Willow's parents were now the parents of Ashton. That means the pills that belonged to a Mr. Morte actually belonged to Mr. Kacilee. Did that mean his dad's pills were used in the suicide of Willow?

As old questions were answered, new ones were asked. The more things made sense, the more confused things got. Before he could question it more, Ashton heard Mrs. Kacilee get up.

"Ashton? Honey, are you awake?", Mrs. Kacilee called out. She noticed the Attic light was on from the crack under the door. Her heart began to beat out of her chest, "Honey?"

Meanwhile, Lucifer tapped lightly on Ashton's shoulder. Ashton turned to face Lucifer, who seemed to be inches from his face. He leaned in ready to kiss Lucifer, but stopped as their lips brushed each other. Ashton's breath paced faster, the urge became hard to control, and just as the overwhelming sensation draped over Ashton, he pulled away quickly.

"I-I'm sorry..." , Ashton looked away.

Lucifer pulled back, irritated; his face, red from anger.

"It's fine! It's all okay! Why would I want to kiss you anyways? I mean I'm only your gir－boyfriend!"

"I'm sorry Lucifer... I just... I'm sorry..."

"No, it's whatever Ashton. I'm going home."

"No, wait!"

Lucifer turned to walk out, colliding with Mrs. Kacilee who was coming up the stairs. He walked by her, headed down the stairs and left; slamming the door behind him. Ashton was in temporary paralysis over the open chest; everything found sprawled out in front of him. Mrs. Kacilee stopped in her tracks at the sight.

"What are you doing honey?...", Mrs. Kacilee spoke with uneasiness.

"Be honest, who was Willow..." Ashton wanted his questions answered straight from the horse's mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"What is this?"

"I don't know. I have never seen these things before in my life." As a diversion, she averted to Lucifer. "Where did Lucifer head off to? Why did he storm out? Is everything okay?"

"I didn't kiss him so he got pissed and left."

"Oh,,, Where did dad go? Do you know?"

"He left abruptly, he said he had to go to work or something."

"Oh, alright, well umm do you want to do something today?"

"No..."

With that Ashton rose slowly and walked out of the attic, distraught. He locked himself in his room for the next few hours. Mrs. Kacilee rushed to clean up the mess before locking the chest, heading down the stairs, and sealing off the attic door again, locking it. Afterwards, Mrs. Kacilee sat down on the couch, fidgeting with discomfort and nerve awaiting the disaster that would walk through her door. Ashton stayed in his room pushing everyone and everything out.
