Hey, Angel. (Ashton's missing twin)

Chapter Twelve. [edited!]

|Angela (Angel)|

Ashton and I were still on the floor where we fell, his arms still wrapped firmly around my shoulders. At first I didn't know what to do, after a few seconds though I wrapped my arms around Ashton's waist. His face was on my shoulder and I could hear him sobbing and feel my shirt getting wet with his tears, causing tears of my own to soak into the chest of his shirt. I slowly sat up, bringing him up with me. Though he was still sat right in front of me on his knees, hugging me and showing no signs of letting go anytime soon. My knees were on either side of him, our chests still pressed together as he gripped me tightly.

"I missed you so so so much." He sobbed. "I didn't know you, we never got to grow up together, but I still missed you so much. It's always been like a piece of me is missing, and when I saw you at the airport... It was like something clicked. I didn't know why, I just felt so much relief when I saw you. Now I know why, you're my..." He pulled back to look at me, placing a hand on either side of my face. I nod, confirming his almost complete statement.

"Hey, Ash."

"Hey, Angel." He smiled widely and hugged me, standing up and taking me with him. It felt so good to finally be reunited. If I was being honest, my entire life hasn't felt complete. And now, being held by my other half, I finally understand what it feels like to be whole. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso as he lifts me up and carries me down the hall. I mouth a "thank you" to Dr. King who wipes under her eyes and walks away, signaling that she'll be back later.

"Ashton! What on earth are you doing? Who is that?" I hear a woman that sounds a bit older than us ask Ashton. "Have you been crying? What's wrong, love?"

"Nothing mum, nothing is wrong anymore." He says as he continues to clutch onto me like his life depended on it, now more content than anything else. There's a moment of silence, as I'm guessing everyone who heard him is confused. I can feel another sob wrack his body before he sets me firmly on the ground but continues to hug me to his chest. I've never seen someone cry so hard of happiness. I turn my head to the side so that my cheek is against his chest, only to see Calum and the other two boys sitting in chairs staring at us. Calums eyes widen.

"Angela?" Calum asks as he stands and walks towards us. "Oh my god." He covers his mouth in realization.

"What am I missing?" The last member of their band asks.

"Ashton, honey?" His mum says.

"Mum, it's her. It's really her." He still hasn't let go, and soon his mother, our mother, comes into my view. Ashton turns his head so that were both looking at her, after looking between the two of our faces a few times she loses it. She sobs loudly and joins our hug by wrapping her arms around both of us. The other boys seem to be stunned, probably not hearing much about what was going on before hand. Also probably because Calum and Luke met me hours ago and didn't know who I would be to them in this moment.

"I can't believe you're home. We never stopped hoping, and now you're here." She cried, me not releasing my hold on Ashton. Suddenly finding him to be my only comfort in this strange reality.

"It's so weird to love someone so much and never want to let go of them, when I've never even met them before." I said, and Ashton nodded his head before resting it on top of mine again.

"I wouldn't trade it for the world though. I can't believe I finally got to meet you. You're never leaving me again, and that's an order." He says before I step away to salute him.

"Aye aye, brother!" A wide grin breaks out on his face and he picks me up, spinning me around. Our mum, who I still do not know the name of, seems to be taking it all in. Standing with her hands pressed together in front of her face, a few tears running down her cheeks. The boys finally decide it's appropriate to approach me and Calum hugs me.

"Long time no see. Eh, miss private Twitter name?"

"Whatever, pop star." I lightly shove him.

"Oh cmon songbird, no need to be rude." He smirks at me, I cross my arms but can't fight the smile that appears on my face. Ironic nickname considering my secret youtube channel. Luke walks up to me and simply gives me a high five, saying its nice to see me again. Adding on the pet name "princess". Then I feel arms wrap around my shoulders from behind me, Ashton.

"Alright, starting now: absolutely no flirting with my sister. At least not until I catch up with her first and learn everything about her, and not even then. It's not fair you guys got to meet her first!" He pouts.

"Ash!" I slap his arm.

"Ow! Jeeze what was that for?" He laughs.

"I knew you were pouting and I wasn't even looking at you!" Wide grins spread on both our faces.

"Oh god, I just realized something Calum." Luke says with a dramatic sigh and Calum turns to look at him before Michael comes up to them, putting an arm over each of them and speaking.

"Yep, we've basically got two Ashton's now boys."

"At least one of them is hot." Calum shrugs. "Ow!"

"Did you just smack him?" I ask Ashton incredulously.

"What?" He shrugs. "I wouldn't let someone call Lauren hot, why would you be any different?" I smile and he does the same.

It is so good to finally be in the right place, where I've always belonged. Now I just have to fit in and figure out what to do about my mum, Amy.
