Calums POV
I stare at the ground right were she laid.
My dog had died that night.

She had been with me since everything.
Heartbreak, cars, family problems, family, friends and all types of other things she was my bestfriend.

The dirt below where I had buried her in my backyard
I had been staring at it for the pass hour. Sitting in the rain on the ground. Just silently letting tears fall. And soft sobs leave my lips at some moments.

"Why?" I cry

She had died by cancer unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry" my heart breaks at the thought of how I could have prevented it but. I didn't.

It was cold. The rain pours down on me like a pitcher of sorrows. I was only dressed in my black hoodie and some jeans just crying. I may look like a lunatic to some. But to me. I'm just trying to pay my respects to a friend.

Just as I let my tears fall and my sobs let out i hear footsteps next to me then something or someone sits next to me. Then the rain. It stops,....but I still hear it?

I look up. Someone has put an umbrella over my head.
My head turns to the right my eyes red and puffy and any body shaking from the cold. My nose burns red and my throat aches.
It was Ashton.
Ashton has been a very good friend of mine since I could remember. He gives me a small look with a quick smile before handing me the umbrella and standing to his feet.

What is he doing?

He began take some flowers from the garden and lay them were she laid. And something in his actions made me feel up lifted. Like her soul had walked
Free. She's finally at peace.
He takes his place next to me again. Wrapping his arm around me to comfort me taking the the umbrella and putting it in between us.

"She's in a better place now love." He speaks softly his accent still sharp enough to cut the steel with a single swipe. "It was her time it wasn't your fault" he reassured me, he pulls me into his lap and hugged me.
Even though I'm soaked.

"C'mon lets get you inside before you catch somthin"
He states before standing carrying me into the house shutting the back door behind him.

Once we got upstairs I see he had set out some towels, my pjs and my laptop on the bed.
Setting me down he starts to speak.

"I'll run you a nice warm bath with bubbles and while your soaking in that I'll make you some of my famous honey ginger lemon tea!" He spoke while starting his actions.

Ash is such a sweetheart.
Everybody says he's got a fake smile. That he's a whole different person not on camera.
No, he's all giggles and his heart is filled with pure genuine, love. he is actually is the biggest sweet heart I have ever met. He's always taking care of me, helping me out, checking up on me and comforting me he's like my savior because with out him i don't think I would be alive right now.

-------------------
My bath was warm and bubbly with the sent of a jungle my favorite smell.
It was dimly lit in the room with the light of two special candles. It was so relaxing it eased away the pain and stiffness of my body. Taking the tense out of my limbs.

Once I got out I dry off a bit and put on my undergarments. Wrapping myself in my froggy towel nice and snug so I can dry.

I lay my hair in its usually shag and dressing fully in my pjs.
Jumping onto the bed with my laptop and my fuzzy blanket wrapped around me like in a baby swaddled in blankets just arriving.

-----
Minutes pass and I was watching Super Buddies on Netflix and Ash hugs me from behind holding a warm cup of tea in his hands. But instead of his ordinary everyday clothing, he was wearing his pj's as well.

"I thought Might as well stay the night tonight make sure your alright." A smile once again spread across his face as he comfortable cuddling with me on the bed. Minutes later i finally break the comfortable silence.

"Ash?" I squeal quietly setting the now empty cup on the nightstand.

"Hmm?" He returned still staring at the computer screen.

"Miss her' I choke out letting tears fall. I broke down once again showing how weak I was.

"Awe don't cry love!" He pulls me in tighter kissing my cheek "I miss her too, but we both have to be strong for her. And I'm pretty sure that if you cry........................ill... C..c..cry."
He started to softly sob too
Tears slowly trickled down his cheeks as he held me tight.

We're both human.
We both cry.
At times you seem you won't make it
But you need to believe you will
Believe you need to move on.
Because stuck in the moment
Causes more tears
And the tears we shed
Reminds us that we are still human

--------------------
The morning sun lets me know it's awake by shining in my eyes.

Morning already?

I peel open my eyes shielding them from its harmful rays. I notice that Ashton is still sleep his arms around me hugging my stomach holding me close, his face by my tummy.as soft snores vibrate my whole body. He must of slid down during the night. so I decide not to wake him up so I stay still trying to let my body relax.

We May have cried ourselves to sleep last night.

I think I might of flinched of something because Ash's eye slowly opened. He yarned widely like a small kitten as he rubbed his eyes then taking his beautiful marble gray eyes and laying them on my face were he smiles.

"Morning." He says scruffily in his gorgeous raspy voice.
"Morning Ashy" I say back leveling is so I could give him a lazy morning hug.

And with that hug.
I knew that Ashton Irwin was going to be with me longer than life.
