temporary home

Calum's POV

I roll over and check my clock. 6:23 am. Who the h*ll is calling us at this time? I hear Ashton shouting from across the hall.

"Shut the d*mn thing up I'm trying to sleep!"

I laugh and climb out of bed to answer the phone.

"Hello Irwin residence, how can I help you?" Ashton is the oldest so he rented the flat in his name and we all just give him money for the rent.

"Hi yes, I was hoping to speak to Michael or Ashton?" The voice is feminine and sounds vaguely familiar.

"They're actually sleeping... Can I take a message for them?" I ask confused. Who is calling before 6:30 looking for Michael or Ashton?

"Oh well this is Kathy Cole, from the Sydney Orphanage, I'm calling about Addie. She can't move her leg after the incident yesterday, so I was really hoping they could take her to the hospital." She sounds so desperate.

"I can wake them up and we'll all go. It's not a big deal." I say smiling. I'm already out of bed anyways.

"Thank you so much! Can you be here in an hour?"

"Of course!"

I hang up the phone and throw on a hoodie, black skinny jeans, and some converse. I walk across the hall to wake Ash up first since he takes the longest to get ready.

"Ashton. Get up."

"Go away"

"Your daughter needs you."

"What?"

"Addie. She's hurt from yesterday. We're taking her to the hospital."

"Gimme 5 minutes and I'm ready"

He jumps out of bed and slams the bathroom door. I walk to Micheals room and the same scene repeats itself. Luke was already awake when I got to his room

"I heard. I'll be ready in 5."

I nod and head to the kitchen to grab some granola bars for breakfast for us. At 7:00 on the dot, we head out to the van laughing and shouting over shotgun.
