Too Late

Again and again

I sat still tied up to the chair. They at least had enough humanity in them to finally stop raping me and to get me dressed. I closed my eyes as soon as the door got opened. "I heard from a little birdy that you are pregnant. again... how about we don't kill this one. But trust me Alexandra. We will make your life a living hell." Casey smirked and I started crying. 

I closed my eyes as the door got knocked down. I saw officers and paramedics. "We got you honey." a female said as soon as she untied me. I was lifted onto a stretcher since I couldn't walk. For more than a month, I was tied to a chair and raped.

At the hospital, they checked on my new baby. I couldn't ruin this one's life. "Are you keeping the baby?" My nurse asked me. What do I say? "I don't know. Is my family here?" I looked at the redheaded girl. "Yes. I will let them in." She walked out and in walked three boys. They all looked like they had been crying. Of course they had been. "Where's Luke and Calum?" I looked around.

"That doesn't matter right now." Ashton walked towards me. "They killed him..." I whispered. "I remember them shooting. They got Luke." I started sobbing.

"I know" Michael rubbed my back. "No don't fucking touch me." I scream. "Baby. He is just trying to help." Harry walked towards me. "I missed you." Ashton held my hand. "I-I. Where is Calum?" I look around. "He...didn't want to come." Mikey looked down. "Don't you dare feel bad. I was raped for more than a month Michael Clifford. I can't walk, I have my brother's own baby inside of me right now and my best friend is dead." I started getting mad now. 

"Wait. What happened to our baby?" Harry frantically asked. "Can't we not talk about it right now babe?" I was feeling so many emotions right now. "Peyton. Does he know?" I sit up a little. "He called. He was mad." Ashton cleared his throat. "He threw you out. Your life is a fucking mess Alex." Calum. Oh god it was Calum. "Calum. I missed you." I started crying again. I missed his sarcastic tone and everything. "I missed you too. Luke surely does too." He smiled and walked towards me. 

"I can't go home. I need somewhere to live." I let everything sink in . Luke was gone. I don't have a house. I am stranded in London. "Live with us. You are Ashton's daughter still." Calum took Mike's place at my hand. "I wouldn't mind. How about you Mikey?" Ashton looked over in the corner. "I missed her so damn much. Why not?" He smiled and chuckled a little. "Harry? Baby are you okay? I am back now." I look at my curly haired boyfriend. 

"I am not okay. It was more than a month that you were gone Alex. I thought you were gone. We didn't know what to do. You were gone. Luke is gone. I lost it. I cried everyday. I missed you so much. I can't believe that this has happened." He wiped a tear. 

~at home because I'm a bitch~

I walked in the doors of my house in Australia. I have missed this place more than anyone knew. The memories came back in. "I can see that you missed it here." Michael grabbed me by the waist. I jumped. "Mikey you can't do that to her." Ashton said as he carried my bags in. 

"It's like when your first adopted me. I was amazed by everything. Except.... he isn't here." I look down. I can't believe he is gone. Never again will I see my friend. Never. "Try not to think about it okay babygirl?" Calum carried me upstairs into my old room. The blood stained carpet was still there. So many memories. I started crying. 

"Shh. You will be fine." Calum hugged me close. I lost everything. Almost 2 months ago my life was perfect. I want to go back to that time. 

"C-Can I go downstairs?" I asked looking up at the crying 20 something year old. "Yeah." He smiled and picked me up. "You still can't walk all to well." He reminded me. As we entered the kitchen, I saw that Ashton and Michael were out back arguing about something. 

"She can't know!" Michael yelled loud enough for me to hear. Calum must've felt me flinch because he looked down with sympathy. "They have been arguing a lot lately." I nodded. "I am going to stop them." I open the glass door and walk out.

"I can't know what Michael?" I get between them. "Uh... Well...Peyton is coming here. He wants to take you back to America." Michael said as Ashton lightly punched him. "I swear to god. I am not going back." I walk inside and think of a plan. 

I can lie and say that I got arrested. The cops know me and surely would do whatever the boys say. "Calum. Drive me to the police station." I grab a jumper and we head out. "Why are we going there?" He asked as we pulled out of the driveway. "I need to talk to the police." He nodded not pushing the issue. 

I walk in the doors and go to the desk. "I need to speak to an officer or someone that can help me." I demanded. The nice lady looked up. "What's wrong?" I thought. A restraining order. "Can I put a restraining order on someone that is from America that is coming here?" I sat down in a chair. "Yes. I will need his or her name." I thought. I never really knew Peyt's last name. 

"Calum. What is Peyton's last name. Irwin still right?" He nodded. "Peyton Irwin." I inform the lady. "He is already in our system. It appears that he got arrested last night." She typed somethings on a computer. "What? What did he do? I am his sister." I try to look at the screen. "He was arrested last night for hitting a car." I didn't know this. 

"Calum. Who's car did he hit?" I look at my 'brother.' "Well. Last night, we were driving to come back and get somethings ready. He hit into our car. We didn't get hurt but he has it for attempted murder." I can't believe him. "Fucking Peyton." I swear and leave. 

I start walking no where in particular. I just walk. How the hell did Peyton even know that there were leaving last night? Why wasn't I told? So my questions. "Alexandra Irwin!" a voice calls from behind me. I turn around to see someone I haven't seen in years, literally. 

It was Jordan. The one from the hospital that I was put into. "Oh my god you look so different!" I yelled and hugged him. "Before anything else. I want to say that I am sorry for Lukas. I know how much you cared about him." The words bring back the stinging memories of 2 years ago. 

"It's fine. I mean, it isn't but I have moved forward." I say as we stand taking each other's appearances in. He wasn't the innocent little boy anymore and I sure as hell wasn't the emo that I was. "You definitely have changed Alex." he smiles as Calum walks over. "Yes she has. But she still has the tattoo we got her from forever ago." Cal smiles and shows him. "Damn. You will regret that later on." Jordan teased. "Shut up and be happy that you get to meet your idol from forever ago." I laughed. I missed days like these. I was turning 20 soon and It was almost 3 years ago that I saw Lukas and Jordan. 

"Calum Hood. I was a big fan when you weren't a smoker but yes, I am still a small fan." No one really talked about Calum smoking. Calum cleared his throat in discomfort about talking about this problem of his. "Well. We better get going. You should text me sometime." I smile and hand him a small paper with my number on it. 

We walk back to the car and get in. "So he is in jail. Jordan is here and he mentioned Lukas." I buried my head. "Lukas?" Calum forgot. "My boyfriend. Ex. Whatever. He was killed." I shudder remembering that shady period of time. "I just want to go home." I sighed in happiness at the word home. No more America and no more Casey. I was going to be fine.
