Madison's POV

After the whole scene where Luke got arrested, Violet took me and the guys to her place. They tried to soothe me and make me feel better seeing as I was in tears thinking about how I just got Luke arrested. That was the last thing I wanted to do. Anyways they even went as far as saying it was unavoidable that this happened, you know with his record and all.

We all stayed the night over at Violet's house that night, even Ashton, Michael, and Calum, which surprised me because their parents didn't seem to care. The morning we got up Calum got a call from the jail that he was allowed one visitor. All at once all eyes were on me. I didn't really want to go though, seeing as I barely knew him and this seemed like a good time for a friend or a family member to step in, and I'm neither of those things.

"We've visited him plenty of times in jail!" Michael had boasted. Ashton and Calum didn't seemed to pleased with this, but they never said anything. They probably just waited until I left to discuss it.

So I went. I accidently got there too early, so I had to sit there and wait for about an hour. Then a beautiful tattooed boy in a orange jumpsuit stepped out and saw my face. He looked disgusted when he first saw me, when made me feel like I had to puke.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for what happened so I couldn't help but apologize profusely. And the bright bruise on his jaw made me worry even more for him. It made me wonder what he has endured in just one night in the slammer. And to think he had to spend two more days in there all because of me.

But then I realized something. While I'm sitting here feeling sorry for the actions that landed him here, he was mad at me for something I didn't ask to happen. I didn't ask him to fight that guy. Not the first time and most certainly not the last. So I shouldn't be sitting here and letting him drag me down when, really, it wasn't my fault.

"Fuck you, Madison!" Luke had screamed at me after I told him off, which brought the guards over in his direction. As my emotion starts to turn away from being sorry, he lowers his voice and says, "You know my life was fucked up before you came along, I didn't need you to make it 10 times worse." And then he got carried away by the guards.

So anyways I've been trying not to dwell on this anymore than I should and I've been trying to keep my spirits up for my brothers arrival today which is about an hour away.

Mom and Dad pace around the kitchen setting up the table and a cooking, while I'm in the living room setting up decorations even though its not that big a deal. No who am I kidding, I'm freaking stoked to have Parker back home I think we all are.

Suddenly a rental car pulls up in the driveway and out comes a very tall Parker, I think he grew some since I've seen him. I guess a lot can happen in a year. Before he even come through the door, I attack him with my hugs. "Parker!" I squeal.

"Madison! I missed you!" Parker says.

We walk through the door, and it's mom and dad's turn to tackle him with hugs. "Parker, my baby! Oh how I've missed you!" Mom exclaims.

"My boy!" Dad fist bumps him because it's 'to manly to hug'

"How was the trip here? I'll bet your tired. Oh, I made you your favorite dinner too."

"Mom calm down." Parker laughs. "I'm starved though, and I've missed you all so much."

We all walk over to the table and instantly dig into our food. "Have you made any new friends yet?" he asks me.

I nod. "I have. Violet, Michael, Calum, Ashton, and Lu-"

"And who?"

"Oh nobody. I was mistaking somebody." I lie, and stuff my face with food so I don't have to speak anymore.

Parker slightly chuckles and shakes his head. "Well I've had a long flight, so I think I'm just going to sleep now. It's good to be back guys, I love you all."

"We love you too." The whole family says in unison.

I find myself feeling full all of the sudden, and push my plate back. "I think I'm done now. I'll be upstairs."

"Okay honey. Study hard!" Mom says.

"You know it." I joke.

As I walk into my room, I walk to my desk and take out my homework that will be due tomorrow. After a while of drifting off into space, and coming back into reality, I finally drift off to sleep. Dreaming about only one Person
