Katelyn____

When I wake up, Luke and Calum are the only ones in the room, both passed out. A phone was sitting on the bench thing near the bed. I click the home button and 4:30am appears plus a photo of a guitar as the wallpaper. I internally groan before unhooking myself from the hospital equipment and getting out of bed. My legs almost give way and I grab the side of the bed. I basically waddle to the bathroom. After probably 2 minutes I walk back out and am met with a confused Ashton. He points to me, then the bed and I motion to the bathroom. He pulls a thumbs up and I walk back over to the bed before climbing in. 

Ash takes a sip from the cup he's holding and motions it out to me. I shake my head and stare up at the ceiling. The door opens again and I look at the door as a tired looking Michael walks in. He holds a cup himself and sips from it while he looks at me. I wave at him while half smiling and he waves back. Ash flicks Cal in the head. "Oi, rack off. I'm trying to sleep." 

"Get up, the doctor will be coming in soon. Katelyn might be able to go home." Ash speaks while also waking up Luke. 

"You feeling alright?" Michael asks while taking another sip. 

"Yeah," I reply while yawning. "What are you drinking?"

"Coffee. Want some?" 

"No, I'm good." The doctor walks in and walks over to the machiney thingy. 

"Why is this disconnected? It should always remain connected to you. If something happened, then a nurse would be alerted." I doctor says in a panicked tone.

"Uhh, sorry. I just unhooked it because I needed to take a leak."

"Well then you should've connected it back." He reads over several pieces of paper and scans several different screens on the monitor. "Well, her vitals are fine. No signs of any attacks during the night. I'll right up a prescription sheet with the pills that you will need to pick up. I recommend bed rest for now and ease back into a normal routine. I'll go and fill out a formal discharge. But other than that, she is free to go. She will need to be back in a week for a check up." He smiles before walking out of the room. Michael follows him.

"Here, clothes." Ash says as he hands me a handful of them. I go into the bathroom to change. When I walk out Michael is back and holding a piece of paper.

"Ready to go?" He says. I nod. We all walk out. The clock reads 5:00am. I yawn again and Luke pulls me into his side. When we arrive at Ashton's car,  climb into the middle seat with Mike and Luke next to me. I rest on Michael and fall asleep on his shoulder before Ash even starts the car.

When I awake, I'm on a bed cuddled up with someone. The fact that their arms are covered in tattoos doesn't narrow it down. They all have so many I don't know who has what. My back was against them with their arms wrapped around me. So basically we were spooning, I think? The person adjusts and I'm pulled even more into them. I sigh and try to turn my head, which wasn't successful.
I give up and just lie there and wait for them to wake up. It's really quiet, except for soft snoring. No one else must be in the house/flat/apartment, depending on where we are. My guess is Ash and Cal's place but I could've been dropped off at the Hemmings place with Luke. Could I be cuddling Luke right now? The most likely person would be Michael but I can't see their face to be able to see.

After about 3 minutes of lying still to try not bother whoever is behind me, I decide that my needing to eat was more important. Just before my stomach could demonstrate the mating call of the blue whale, I attempt to pry myself away from my holder. After 3 attempts, I give up again. Every time to tried to move, they would tighten their grip. Their chin was resting on top of my head so I couldn't even move my head to get a glimpse of their face.

"It's fun watching you struggle."

"Am I allowed to get up and get some food or am I on cuddle arrest?" He chuckles before releasing his arms from me. I stand up and turn to face the green eyed boy laying on the bed behind me. He smirks before getting up himself. Grabbing his phone, he pulls me out the door and into the kitchen. The clock on the wall reads 10:15am. 

"The others are at school."

"When can I get my phone back? I need to ring Luna."

"Use mine."

"But I don't know her number." He groans and rolls his eyes before opening the tea towel draw and grabbing out a phone. 

"Ring her, then give it back. Got it?" I nod before dialing her number, not caring if she's in 3rd period.

"You are so lucky that I was sent to pick up some photocopying instead of being in class. Where are you by the way. School's boring without you. And your brothers not here either." She says while answering.

"I know that. He's right here with me and I'm basically on cuddle arrest. I should be back at school tomorrow though, maybe."

"Everything alright?"

"Just mental issues. I'm sure I'll find some way of fixing it all. I don't want you to worry so I'm purposely not telling you everything."

"Rude. I'll maybe see you tomorrow then?"

"Fingers crossed." I hang up the phone and hand it back to Michael. Instead of putting it in the draw again, he pockets it. He hands me a bowl of cornflakes and a spoon before digging into his own bowl.

"Alright, I think you know where this conversation is going to be going. So, you are explaining, right now, everything. Start to finish. Why did you keep attacks hidden from me, and why you constantly keep skipping class."

I take a deep breath before answering.
