"What about?" Iasked them as Calum invited me into his Duvet burrito wrap.

Ashton glared at Calum making him take the warm duvet off of me, "We have some rules here that you apparently think you don't need to follow."

I scoffed, "No one told me about any rules, except the thingy Liz talked about last night." 

Michael raised an eyebrow at me, "A curfew?" He asked as if I was stupid.

"Yeah, that's the word!" I cheered at my memory.

"Do you even know what a curfew is?" Luke asked.

"No." I mumbled.

Calum glanced at me, "It's when you have to be home and ours is 11 p.m."

My eyes nearly popped out of my head, "11 p.m. are you guys like old people or something?" I asked in disbelief.

"We aren't old, our parents are, what was your curfew at your old house?" Luke asked me.

I thought for a few minutes, did I even have one, "I don't think I had one." I mumbled.

"Well while any of our parents are in town we have to be at home by 11, no acceptions." Michael told me and I nodded.

"Wait, do we ever visit them in Australia?" I asked them and they nodded.

"Do you have a passport?" Calum asked me.

"Yeah, it should've been in the documents Liz got." I explained and they nodded.

"Well, if you leave, you need to tell us. This morning Calum started freaking out because you were no where to be see in the apartment." Michael told me.

"Plus we need to spend time with them before they leave." Luke told me and I nodded.

"No what's with you lately?" Calum asked me and I rolled my eyes.

"If someone asks you how you're doing, you roll your eyes or make a rude comment saying they don't care or why are they asking. Cassie we car about you, please talk to us." Michael told me.

I held the bridge of my nose, "You can always tell us anything." Calum told me and invited me into his duvet burrito.

I denied and sat there for a few minutes just breathing.

"After we bring them to the airport I promised someone I would babysit." I told them trying to change the subject.

"Cassie, tell us what's going on." Luke pleaded.

Tears started to form in my eyes, "I don't want to." I mumbled with my voice shaking.

"Why?" Ashton asked me.

"Maybe if I don't talk about it, I can pretend it never happened." I mumbled and the room went quiet.

I saw Michael scratch his head, a sign that he was thinking of what to say.

"You can't change the past but you can tell us so we can be there for you." Michael said and I nodded.

"I have no friends." I choked out.

"What do you mean by that?" Luke asked.

"I don't know who to talk to anymore." I sobbed.

Luke ran his hand through his hair, "You can talk to us." He sighed

I covered my face with my hands, "You guys hate me, and all my so called friends left!" I sobbed.

"We don't hate you Cassie." Ashton tried to console me.
