Pieces of Time

Ashton's POV

On the car ride to the hotel I started to get a slight headache. I didn't want anyone to notice because they always worry too much. I would just take a pill when we get to the hotel.

Since it was dark already by the time we got to the hotel, John said it was alright that we all go into the lobby with security.

Everyone walked like zombies into the lobby while security seemed wide awake. There was maybe 3 or 4 people in the lobby. Old people. They were confused as hell since a bunch of random kids walked in with an army to guard them.

John handed out our keys and we headed upstairs. All the rooms were aligned and everyone went into their room.

With every step my headache was intensifying and I was afraid that someone would notice. As Calum and Michael got situated, I looked through my bag for my meds.

Not being able to find them, I turned frantic.

"Hey guys, just wanted to say good-" Winter said as she stood in the doorway. She noticed me viciously going through my bag and came over.

"What's wrong?" She said concerned.

"What are you looking for mate?" Michael asked.

"Did you by any chance grab my meds?" I asked grabbing my head.

"Shit." Calum said as he left the room.

"Does your head hurt?" Winter asked as Michael started going through his bag.

The pain was getting worse by the minute and then Calum appeared with John. "What's up?" John asked.

"Nothing Ashton, it's back at the fucking house." Michael said throwing his bag on the floor. "Ashton forgot his meds." Winter explained.

I shut my eyes to try and reduce the pain. "If you remember the prescription I can get some." John said.

I gave him the information he needed and then stepped out. "Do you need water? Or ice?" Calum asked.

"Winter can you run downstairs and try and find regular pain meds?" Michael said. I opened my eyes and saw him handing her money.

"I have some in my bag. I'll be back." She said before rushing out of the room.

"It's alright mate." Michael small smiled. Winter came rushing back into the room, handing me two pills.

"You're going to sleep well tonight." Calum joked.

"Just try and rest." Michael said as he turned out the lights and Calum closed the curtains.

Michael's POV

We stayed in the room for about 15 minutes before leaving to the lobby. John said he would have Ashton's meds ready in the morning.

Luke, Calum, Winter and I sat in the lobby.

We were all half asleep before but now we were all wide awake. Winter was wrapped up in a blanket and Luke had on one of my jumpers.

"It's cold down here." Calum shivered. "Well you came unprepared." I said adjusting my blanket.

"I guess he does need those meds huh?" Winter sighed.

"Yeah, he probably left them on the counter or in the bathroom." I sighed.

"How come you never told me you and Ashton lived together?" Winter snapped.

"You didn't know?" Luke asked in shock.

"Before we discuss anything too serious, we should maybe go up to the pool area because I doubt anyone is there. Also, Nicole is asleep right because she doesn't know anything?" Calum said.

"Yeah, she's asleep don't worry." Luke shrugged as we got into the elevator.

When we got comfortable upstairs near the indoor pool, we felt confident to speak. No one was up here, and I'm pretty sure this area is closed anyway.

"I never told you, how did you-" I started.

"I went over to his house before I showed up at yours yesterday." Winter interrupted. "I went to pick up these." She said holding up a pair of glasses.

"You went into his house?" Calum laughed.

"Did you climb in the window?" Luke laughed.

"That house hasn't aged a day. It's time you explain what the fuck happened to his family." Winter demanded.

"You havent told us anything about your old relationship with Ashton." Luke said.

"We are kind of curious about your family too." Calum added.

"When you tell your secrets, we will too." I smirked.

Winter gave me a death glare and then sighed. "We will have to tell it all, if you want me to help Ashton recover his memory." She said

"ASHTON LOST HIS MEMORY?!"

We all turned and saw Nicole standing by the elevator. This bitch came out of no where and she could not be trusted with the secret.

We all quickly ran over to her and dragged her back to where we were sitting.

"Ashton lost his memory. That explains so much!" Nicole shouted.

"Shh!" Luke said to Nicole

I stood and gestured for everyone to come over. "Stay here." Luke said to Nicole who was thinking so hard, smoke came out of her ears.

"When Ashton had his accident we did everything to keep this bitch from knowing-" I started.

"That's still my girlfriend you are talking about." Luke snapped.

"-well your girlfriend is not going to ruin everything. First chance she gets, she will go and tell Ashton everything!" I snapped.

"What are the chances she can keep a secret?" Winter asked. "Oh she can! But she wont!" I snapped.

"Calm down. Look, Ashton is asleep. Maybe we can make up some bullshit story to keep her quiet." Calum said.

"Or, Luke can threaten to leave her if she opens her mouth?" Winter suggested.

"I can't-" Luke started. "That's not a threat Winter. It's a miracle." I interrupted.

"Look, we can go over there and explain to her why she cant tell Ashton." Calum shrugged.

We all turned to face her but she was gone.

"FUCK!" We all shouted in unison.

Damn, just as we were going to get insight as to what Winter is hiding, Nicole comes and ruins the secret.
