Chapter Fifty Eight

Chapter Fifty Eight

*Ashtons' P.O.V*

After placing Milly on the couch, I run into the kitchen to grab her a glass of water and some painkillers. When I come back into the living room I am greeted by the sight of Calum, Luke and Michael cowering against the wall while Milly glares at them. 

"What's going on here?" I laugh.

"Oh nothing. I'm just teaching these boys a lesson," Milly says, a double meaning hidden  behind her words.

I watch the boys gulp and then nod their heads in unison. I shake my head in amusement before sitting down on the couch next to Milly and handing her the pills. She quickly takes and then puts the glass on the coffee table.

"Thanks Ashy," she mumbles as she lies her head in my lap.

"You're welcome baby girl," I say quietly while stroking her hair.

I watch as her eyes flutter closed and she slips into a peaceful sleep. The boys finally relax, coming to sit on the other two couches. Mikey falls face first on one of them, taking up the whole thing, and Cal and Luke sit together on the other couch.

"Awww she looks so cute and peaceful," Cal says quietly.

"Yeah she does. She hasn't had that much sleep in a while so the fact that she's sleeping now is a miracle. So please try not to wake her up," I mumble while thinking about her insomnia and how much worse it has gotten since that day when she said that she didn't want to live this life anymore.

"Why isn't she getting much sleep?" Mike asks, clearly concerned.

"She has insomnia," I say stiffly. Well it's true. Okay, half true. Her insomnia was getting better, until that night.

"Oh god. She really isn't having a good run is she?" Luke mumbles, just in case she hears him I'm guessing.

"No she isn't. But the insomnia is sort of a side affect of everything that's happened to her. I can't imagine how hard everything must be for her."

There is no way any of us could ever imagine how hard this must be for her. To lose the thing you love the most, the thing that means the most to you, must hurt her so much. I know that if I couldn't play the drums or if I lost the band or if I lost Milly, it would kill me. I can only imagine that that's how she feel right now.

"Do you think there is anything we can do to help her Ash?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe just be there for her. Don't bring up her knee or anything along those lines. That's about it I think," I say while ticking off the things on my fingers.

"How about we call the One Direction boys and get them to meet us in Melbourne when the tour starts?" Luke asks.

"That's a great idea. She would love to see Niall!" Calum says while pulling out his phone.

That's actually a really good idea. I know how much Niall means to her and I know that if she could meet him in real life it would make her so happy. But I can't help the wave of jealousy that courses through my body. I know that nothing is ever going to happen between them because they have told me but I still get jealous over the bond they have.

"Hello?" I hear an Irish accent say.

"Hey Niall, it's us," Calum whispers.

"Oh hey Cal. What's up?"

"Well first off, you need to whisper so you don't wake up Milly cause she's asleep. Anyway, we came up with the best idea ever!" Luke whisper yells the last part.

"Ummmm, why is Milly there with you guys?" Nial says, confused.

"Ashton and her traveled up here today. They came a few days early because, well, I'm not sure," Mikey says.

"Oh okay. Well what's your idea boys?"

"Well we were wondering if you and the boys would maybe want to meet with is in Melbourne in a few days for the start of our tour so you can see Milly?" Luke says all in one breath.

"Oh my god! That's the best idea I've ever heard! I am in even if the other boys aren't," Niall exclaims.

"Shhhhh!" we all hiss at the same time.

"Sorry," Niall whispers, "Anyway, like I said. I am in. When we hang up I'll ring the boys and ask them to come around and I'll talk about this with them."

"Cool. Ring us back later when you guys decide. But you can't tell Milly."

"Why not?" he asks.

"It's a surprise. She can't know about it. We want to do something that will cheer her up," Calum says quickly.

"Oh. Well okay. Anyway boys, see you later," Niall agrees before hanging up.

Well hopefully all the boys agree with this. It would make her day, if she could see the boys in person. Actually I think she'd be happy for more then a day if she got to see the boys. But I know that as long as Niall is there, it should work.

I look down as I feel her move around. Her fringe falls in over her closed eyes and I lightly brush it off her face. I hear her sigh in her sleep before she says a single word that makes my heart stop before speeding up like a stampede of bulls are coming towards me.

"Did she just...?" Michael trails off, shocked at the word that came out of her mouth.

"She did. Oh my god Ash!" Calum says excitedly.

But I can barely speak. Maybe she does have feelings for me, just like I have feelings for her. Maybe just maybe she was lying when she said she only loved me as a friend. I am in total shock and I barely register any of the words that the boys are saying.

The only words that ring out as clearly as a bell in my clouded mind are the five words that come out of Lukes' mouth.

"She said your name Ash."

I have been working on this chapter for what feels like all day. I've been having a bit of writers block lately.

But here it is :)

AND THE FEELS ARE REAL!!!!

I forgot the Question of the Chapter!! OMG! Alright here it is.

QOTC: Do you ship Tris and Four or Hazel and Augustus. 

Personally I can't chose. They are both such good couples.

ILYSM!

SWAG ON!
