It had been two weeks after the accident, I hadn't heard from any of the boys, I mean after dying then being brought back must've taken a toll on them..but the way it happened..it's stuck in my brain and I haven't been able to sleep, every time I do, I wake up at 3 from the beep of the heart monitors..just thinking about it frightens me.

I shrug and continue the path to my school. I walked through the gates and sat down on a bench, waiting for my friends and waiting for the bell to ring, so class could begin.

Amelia hadn't been herself, she wore sunglasses now and a hat, and a big one at that, the school allowed her because apparently she gave a really good reason. She just wasn't..Amelia. She was shaky, spoke rapidly and always looked over her shoulder, but she never once described to us what she saw.

Jasmine walked up and sat next me, she was...okay I guess..she had a couple nightmares after that day, I know this because she called me in the middle of the night and made me pull on all night with her.

As for me..I was fine, other then the fact my boyfriend hadn't talked to me for two weeks, I even went over to Luke's house but Liz wouldn't let me in, she looked scared as she shook her head through the screen door. Luke was in the background, on the couch staring at a blank tv. I was hurt, I'm not going to lie, if he didn't want to see me he should've just told me.

"Zo, have you heard anything from them?" Jasmine said as she fiddled with her fingers glancing at me.

I just shook my head in response, I looked up and saw Amelia standing there shaking, she sat down next to us and pulled some pills out of her bag and took them, making sure none of the teachers had saw her, she chugged on her water then gasped and fixed her hat.

Jasmine just shook her head, and looked down at her phone.

Then, the whole court yard became quite, only light murmurs and whispers. We all looked over at the entrance way and saw all four of the boys standing there, dressed in all back.

Our mouths practically hung, we had never seen like this before, yeah they would wear black but never black on black on black. It was weird.

Some girls stared and I shot glares at them which they received and looked away.

They started to walk over to us, Amelia got close to me, I just looked down at my phone, until a shadow hovered over me.

It was Luke.

I looked up at him and he had a blank expression on his face.

"Hug me." He simply stated and I shot up and gave him a hug, I sure as hell had no control over what I was doing and it scared me but I said nothing.

I looked over to see Amelia getting up and walking away, as Calum's eyes followed her with a light smirk playing on his face.

I pulled away from Luke and looked up at him
"Are you okay? Why are you dressed like that."

He stared at me, then tilted his head and pressed his thumb onto my forehead, drawing some type of shape

"You ask a lot of questions, stop that." Luke said calmly as he continued to draw the shape on my forehead.

I nodded mindlessly
"S-sorry."

Luke smiled and kissed my head
"That's better, yeah?"

I stared into his blue eyes and nodded, it was like I was in a trance, and I couldn't even comprehend the words coming out of my mouth.

I didn't look at Ashton even though I knew he was looking at me, I was scared..what happened at the hospital didn't...it wasn't right.
I  couldn't get the words or the imagery out of my head and it was kinda taking a toll on me.

"Why didn't you call me? Or text me."

Ashton looked at me
"I didn't feel like it." He shrugged

Fuck fear, he pissed me off.

"What do you mean you didn't feel like it? Ashton, I was worried sick about you!" I shouted but then lowered my voice.

He scoffed and grabbed my arm, pulling me away from the rest, he pressed me against a wall

"When I say, I didn't feel like it, it means I didn't fucking feel like it, now you don't need to worry your pretty little head about me and you really shouldn't yell at me." he stated while  staring into my eyes, they eyes I used to stare at longingly.

"Are you threatening me? Ashton you've never talked to be like this and you know I don't like it!" I shot at him. I was shocked, yeah Ashton and I fought but he never threatened me.

Ashton put a hand above my head and I felt the wall against my back, start to shake, I could hear small rocks falling to the ground

"You shouldn't speak to me that way." He gritted through his teeth and his eyes faded from its natural Carmel color to black, it's like his soul would drain from him when he would get mad.

I didn't even notice I was shaking, I even felt the ground beneath me start to shake
"I-I'm sorry! I-i won't yell at you..i-i promise." I sputtered out.

Everything stopped and Ashton's eyes returned to their natural color and a smile a appeared on his face

"Good." He said as the bell rang and he took my hand and lead me into the school, I looked over to Zoe and give her a pleading trying to show her I was scared but she had a blank expression like the rest of them.
