Ashton:

"Can someone else drive?" I asked as I held Jesse bridal style and Calum nodded and I tossed him the keys. Jesse was still in her outfit from this morning, the outfit she changed into that she wanted to die in. But I wasn't going to let that happen. Ever.

"I'll take the back" I added and Michael nodded. He took Jesse's spot up front and Brianna turned back to me

"Can I sit with you guys?" She asked. I nodded and we situated Jesse in the middle seat, and I took Cal's spot and she took Mike's. Luke looked back at us as Calum drove back on the highway, taking us home

"We should stop somewhere for dinner" Calum said as he rested his elbow on the door, and head in hand

"Drive thru somewhere" Michael said and Luke and I nodded

"Do you eat anything we could get quickly?" I asked Brianna and she nodded

"Yeah, but we should get something more nutritious for Jesse. She doesn't eat Ash!" She said emotionally and I nodded

"We will Brianna, it'll be okay" I said and she wiped away more tears, "We're going to take care of you two now" I said and she nodded

"I miss Jeff" Brianna sobbed and I sighed heavily

"Baby, who's Jeff?" I asked tiredly

"He's my boyfriend. He loved me!" She cried and I reached and put a hand on her shoulder as she cried

"You'll be able to see him again" I said

"No I won't!" She sobbed, frustrated with us all. Teenage tantrum commencing...

"Why not?" I asked and she cried harder

"We broke up!" She said, throwing her arms down, "I think" She mumbled and pulled at her lip with a finger. I nodded

"What do you mean, 'I think'?" I said, trying to get her to calm down

"I told him I was being adopted, and he just hung up on me!" She said, panting and wiping her face, "I waited for him!" She sobbed and I tensed up. Okay...

"Brianna, it'll be okay.. Just focus on yourself, try and relax" I tried and she panted and nodded

"Okay" She mumbled and Jesse was still asleep on my shoulder, sprawled onto my lap and I brushed her hair from her face and Luke looked sadly at me. I put my head back on the headrest, and closed my eyes as Brianna breathed harder and harder

"Brianna?" I asked as she began to have an attack, "Give me that bag right there Luke!" I said quickly and he quickly, and panicked like, took out her inhaler. She had bad asthma and Jesse's smoking probably wasn't a helping factor, let alone all the stress of the day. She took it, and had a couple of puffs before panting hard and sighing

"Everything alright back there?" Calum said loudly, worried

"Yeah" Brianna said, brushing her hair away, trembling

"Do I need to pull over?" He asked and she shook her head, no, "Okay" He said

"You sure?" Michael asked and she nodded. Finally, we were able to get off the highway and onto the strip for some food. I had Calum pull into a spot and had them go and get food as I waited with the girls.

"Brianna, can I ask you how often you get attacks?" I asked as we stood outside against the car while Jesse continued to sleep as if she's never slept in her life before. Trust me, she was sleeping too, she mumbled every once in awhile in her sleep.
