I sat with her, looking over the faint scar on her chest. "You okay baby?" I asked, looking up at her. She shrugged. "More or less.."

I took her face in my hands. "Be honest with me, Destiny. Is it your scar or Ashton?" She shrugged. "Ashton.. I just.. Wanted to be with him.." She mumbled. I flinched slightly; those words stung my heart more than they should've.

I frowned. "I'm sorry it didn't work out. But don't worry about it anymore. I'm here, and you didn't forcefully bring me here. I want to be with you." She nodded and smiled slightly at me. "Thank you Calum, really."

I leaned in and put our foreheads together. "What would make you feel better?" I asked playfully. She shook her head, unsure of what to answer. I smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. "There, better?"

She nodded and smiled up at me, eyes a little lighter. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Don't worry. You'll be alright."

"Hello?" I answered, looking over to Destiny. Lori's voice sounded from the speakers. "Calum- Ashton, he's okay!" She exclaimed. I frowned. "Oh- that's uh," I paused, thinking of a reply. "That's great! Should I go over or?" Lori sighed. "Yes, you should!" I ran a hand through my hair. "Alright, be there soon." I hung up and looked to Destiny sadly. "Sorry Des, I have to go."

She pouted. "Okay Cal. Come back tonight?" I nodded and she smiled, crawling over to me and wrapping her arms around me. "Love you, Calum." I smiled. "I love you too."

Ashton smiled at me weakly. "Lori, I just wanna thank you." I raised an eyebrow. "M-me? What did I do?"

Luke sat next to me. "Yeah, what did she do? I dragged you all the way to the skatepark dude!" Ashton chuckled. "You didn't fight Destiny, now did you?" A faint "ohhhh" could be heard from somewhere in my house. I knew it was Michael and chuckled. "Well now that you're back, does everything go back to normal?"

Ashton shrugged. "I guess so." Michael walked in the room holding a slice of pizza. I raised an eyebrow. "Where did you get that?" He shrugged. "I dunno. Places." He ate it quickly and sat next to me. "But things aren't necessarily going back to normal."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Why not? I mean everything is perfectly fine right-" he took my hand and I blushed, looking up at him. "Lori, I know we haven't known each other all that long, but we vampires, we have a special gift. We can see what our future will be. And I see you and I together. So.. What I'm trying to ask is.. Will you be my girlfriend?"

My eyes widened. I was not at all prepared for this. "I-I mean.. Yeah, of course!" He broke into a grin and we hugged. Before we pulled apart he left a small kiss on my temple. Luke and Ashton clapped. "Yeee, get some Mike!" Luke cheered. I laughed and Michael hit him lightly on the shoulder.

Suddenly my door opened, and Calum stood there with Destiny on his arm. Ashton sprang up and hid behind Luke. "W-why is she here?" He squeaked.

Calum sighed. "Long story." He steered her over to the couch opposite of us. "She wants to apologize to Ashton, though."

Michael stood up. "You're a dirty traitor! You associate with-with... Them!" He narrowed his eyes. "Disgusting." Calum sighed. "Can you at least hear what she has to say?" Michael begrudgingly sat down after a few moments, taking my hand and squeezing it. Destiny looked up from her lap, and gazed at Ashton. He flinched.

"Ashton, I should've never kidnapped you. That was, well, terrible. I was jealous of Lori and I couldn't help myself. But I now understand that you need these guys, and they need you. I don't expect you guys to forgive me, but I hope you understand."

"I call bullshit." Rose said. Everyone turned to look at her, and she chuckled. "You would do it again in a heartbeat." Destiny looked shocked. "N-no, that's insane!"

Luke frowned. "Cut her some slack, Rose. She was jealous, it's all over now." Rose snorted. "So what, you're gonna just forgive her?" Michael glared at Rose. "Maybe! But when you storm in here saying it's all bullshit that's sort of hard!"

I bit my lip. "I mean, she does have a point."

Everyone turned on me. "What do you mean, she has a point? Do you fucking agree with her?" Michael accused. I shook my head, eyes wide. "N-no, of course not! I'm just saying, from her point of view, it is sort of hard to trust someone like that!"

Rose laughed. "Thank you, Lori. I really appreciate that. Especially when it wasn't Destiny that kidnapped Ashton."

Everyone was shocked. "Wait, did you kidnap him?" Luke asked. Rose smiled sinisterly. "Well not without help. Yano!" Yano emerged from somewhere in my house. "Y-yes, Rose?" She grinned. "How about we take all of them hostage?"

Ashton snorted. "You can't do that! It's six against two!" She tilted her head. "Oh can't I?" She brought out her phone and tapped on an app, making my whole house dark. When some lights turned on, I looked around. I saw metal shutters on my windows and assumed they were also over the doors.

"You're sick!" Michael yelled, holding me tight. "But you aren't hurting anyone!"

Rose came over to us, with daggers similar to Destiny's. "Oh really?" She pressed one up to my shoulder and cut it, making me yelp in pain. I gaped at the gash, it was bleeding heavily. Michael took his flannel off and wrapped it around the wound. Tears watered in my eyes, and he shook his head. "Shh, it's okay."

Rose daintily skipped around the room. "Whose next? Is it Luke?" She asked, putting the dagger under his chin. "Or is it Calum?" She asked, putting the dagger up to his cheek. "Or maybe it's all of you?"

The last thing I saw was Michaels hands wrapped around mine, then it all went black.
