Calum's pov-

                      As I finish the last verse in Invisible, the whole arena goes quiet. Phones go into the air and you faintly hear people singing along. I look over to Luke and he's smiling like an idiot, as is Michael. I stop singing and everyone cheers but its too much. Everything starts to get blurry and next thing you know everything goes black.

Luke's pov-

Calum is fucking nailing this song but I can tell something's up. He looks at me and then he falls to the ground. "Oh my god calum" the whole band says. The 50,000 people filled arena screams and starts freaking out. "LUKE GRAB HIS UPPER BODY" Michael screams over the crowd. I do as he says and we run off the stage when a fan from the crowd runs past security and to us.

She didn't freak out because she was with us or anything. All she said was "I can help, I'm a nurse. Put him on an elevated surface like a table or something". We obviously do as she says and she goes over to him and checks his pulse and then does some other nurse related things. "Okay, so here's whats up. He's still breathing, his heartbeat is really slow and that's not good. I think he had a tiny overdose on anxiety medication before he came on stage." the unnamed girl says quite calmly. "How do you know all of this ?" Michael blurts out.

"I've been taking classes at the local college here in Dublin since my junior year in high school." she chuckles. "Oh and I'm Audrey by the way." I'm actually confused though. "Not to sound like a complete douche or anything but why aren't you freaking out?" I ask. "Oh my gosh Luke you can't just ask her why she isn't freaking out because she's meeting us!" Ashton yells at me. He always is acting like the dad of the band. "Uh no no its okay. Not to be rude or anything but I'm not necessarily a fan of this band.  My parents forced me to take my little sister to this concert." Audrey says just as rude as me.

All of us fall into an awkward silence while she continues to examine Calum. Next thing you know, 3 paramedics run up with all of their equipment and load Calum on the stretcher. This is the moment when I realize that this is serious. I replay what Audrey said, "he had a tiny overdose of anxiety medication"
We all thought Calum was over his depression. He told us that he was getting over his anxiety and that he was starting to be happy again. What happened?

Ashton's pov-

I knew something was up with Cal. It all started when I walked into the bathroom back in Manchester and saw him with a blade. I'd never thought of Calum as the cutting type and it really hurt me. When he realized that I was there he immediately stopped and started hysterically crying.
He kept saying "I deserve it" and "I'm no good Ashton, can't you see that?". It was terrible to see him like that but I didn't tell Luke or Michael. I kept it to myself and then the next day he sent out a tweet that said "itsokaytobesadsometimes". It kind of made me feel like he was okay but he obviously wasn't.

And now here we are, loading Calum on a stretcher and heading him to the ER. I just wish he would've told us what was going on..
