chapter 6- Awkward car rides.

Ashton's P.O.V

The car ride was awkwardly silent. It was weird because it's never quiet with us. I'm driving but every time I can I sneak a look through the rearview mirror at Kaley. She is sitting with her knees to her chest and just starring out the window. I feel bad that she isn't happy. I'm hoping that will change soon and she will start to trust us. Ms. Miranda told me she has reoccurring nightmares so if I hear screaming in the middle of the night that's what it is.

I'm guessing she had a rough child hood. On the way outside Michael told me he thinks she has or use to be abused. That is really sad. No one should have to go through something like that. It's horrible to think an innocent girl has been so mistreated. I really hope Michael is wrong.

Calum's P.O.V

I am sitting in the middle of Kaley and Luke. I keep looking at her through the corner of my eye. She looks so sad. So broken. It makes me just want to hold her and tell her it will all get better. But, I can't. She doesn't know or trust me. We are hoping we can get her to trust us soon then tell her who we are. We want to wait because by time she trust's us we will need to tell our fans. We know she will get hate and if she doesn't trust any of us she wont come talk to us if she needs anybody. She'll just keep it inside. That's not healthy at all.

Michael awkwardly coughed and that's when Ashton turned on the radio. Green day "Give Me Novocain" Came on. I guess she likes Green Day because she shot up and had a glimmer in her eye. It was so adorable.

"Do you like Green Day?" I question her.

"Yes I l-love them. I haven't gotten t-to listen to t-them in a w-while." She states and then leans back against the door looking out the window again. She really is scared around us.

"We really like Green Day too." Luke says trying to make her feel better. She acts like it's bad to like Green Day.

"Really? It's just that p-people say when I tell them I like Green Day they call m-me an e-Emo l-loner." She says her voice cracking at the end. That is terrible! Who is so cruel to say that?

"That is so not true! That probably were just jealous at your amazing music taste!" She giggles a little but covers it with her hand. I wonder why. Her smile is probably beautiful. I wish I was the reason behind her smile. no stop. I cant have feelings for her. reason one is I barely know her. reason two she will never feel the same way.

"Well, why don't we tell you a little about ourselves." Luke suggest. She answers with a small nod. " I don't know if you remember but, my name is Luke Hemmings. I am 18. I love FIFA."

"I am Michael Clifford. I am 19. I love SLEEPING AND EATING!" She jumps a little when he yells but then laughs slightly but once again covers it up. *sigh* I wish she wouldn't cover it.

"I am Ashton Irwin. I am 20. I am your legal guardian or your dad if you ever want to call me that." Well guess it's my turn.

"I am Calum Hood. I am 18. I love pretty girls. I uh dammit I didn't mean to say that. What I meant to say was I love puppies. Yeah, that's it." Dammit I just made a complete idiot out of myself.

"Well, I guess ill go next. My name is Kaley I guess I-Irwin now. I'm 16. I love um I-I don't r-really know. Um we don't get m-many privileges at the o-orphanage." Wow. She doesn't know of anything she loves. I wish she loved me. Dammit shut up.

"Do you have any hobbies?"

"I use t-to skateboard u-until K-Krislyn broke mine." she looks down at her lap and plays with her fingers. She is so beautiful.

"We could get you a new one. Maybe tomorrow when we go clothes and decoration shopping." I suggest. I really want to make her happy. She looks directly into my eyes searching to make sure I'm being for real. A huge smile spreads across her face. She does something I never thought she would. She reaches over and hugs me. I immediately hug her back. She is so tiny. She seems like she doesn't weigh much.

Once she realizes what she did she pulled away quickly. She looked down like she was embarrassed or sad or scared. I couldn't tell.

"S-Sorry. I-I didn't m-mean to b-b-other y-you. I-it w-wont happen again s-sir." I can tell there is so much fear and worry in her voice. Does she really think I would be mad over a hug? What has she been through that makes her think she can't hug someone?

"Look at me. Don't ever apologize for hugging us or anyone for that matter, okay? Number two you don't have to call me or any of us sir. We are only a few years older than you. Don't worry love we aren't strict on rules. If you ever want to hug, cuddle, talk, or just hang out with any of us don get scared or nervosa. We all love you and care about you , okay?" I really hope she believes me. I really do love and care for her just like I know the other boys do.

"Okay."

"WE'RE HERE!" Michael shouts. She jumps but then relaxes a little. I really hope this house will soon fill up with wonderful memories of us with Kaley.
