"Yes." Ember finally said. 

"Ember that's going to ruin him." I murmured. 

"No it isn't. He has you." 

"Ember, he cares about a lot more than just me." 

"Well, I'm still breaking up with him." 

"What?" Calum mumbled, awake. 

"I can't do it anymore!" Ember cried. 

"Do what?" 

"Be with you!" 

"Are-Are you breaking up with me?" Calum said, his eyes filling with tears. Ember nodded sadly, gathering her stuff in silence and walking out the door, not looking back. As soon as the door shut, Calum sobbed into my neck. Knowing I could do nothing to help him other than hold him close to me and rub his back with my hand, I stayed silent. He cried himself back to sleep, and I hummed a tune to pass the time. Nikki emerged hand in hand with Ashton, their eyes sad.

"We saw Ember's car leave." Nikki stated. I nodded, confirming that I had spoken to her. 

"She broke up with Calum." I answered their unasked question. They looked at Calum sadly, and at the tear stains on his cheeks. They wandered back to bed, as Michael and Brianna emerged. 

"Did-" Michael started, before yawning. 

"Did Ember break up with Cal? Yes." I finished. We chatted for a few minutes, before they wandered back into their room. My phone buzzed, so I reached for it and pulled my hand out from under Luke, placing my phone in between my ear and shoulder as I wrapped my arm back around Luke's waist lightly.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey Braelynn." Maggie said.

"Oh, hi! Sorry, I didn't check the caller id. What's up?" 

"I was wondering if you'd want to hang out right now? Darius and I just got here." 

"Um....You could come over here I guess. I'm kinda stuck at the LA house right now."

"Boys cuddling you?"

"Yeah. Both are asleep."  I realized that because they were constantly travelling, and we didn't talk much in the past few days, she had no idea what had happened. 

"Could you get out of their embrace and come over to Darius and I's house here in LA that we rented?" She asked me hopefully.

"Even if I could, I don't think I should. I'm sorry Mags, it's just with what's been going on recently."

"Going on recently?" 

"The boys and their girlfriends got kidnapped for three days and just got out yesterday. Calum just got dumped. Knowing them, they'd freak out if I wasn't here when they woke up."

"Oh man." Maggie said simply. 

"Yeah. We postponed the shows by another week." 

"Oh. Well, we'll come over there. Doors unlocked?"

"Shoot, no it's not. I also took the extra key out of it's hiding spot for more security because of the incident. Uh......um...text me when you get here and I'll get up them I guess." I said.

"Well, I'm here now." 

"Geez, you guys are fast." I muttered, pulling my arms out from under the boys and getting up off the couch. They immediately cuddled into themselves, losing the warmth I provided them. I opened the door and let the couple in, smiling tiredly at them before locking the door again and walking over to the couch. Maneuvering back into my spot in between the two boys, I chatted with Maggie and Darius. Calum started to mumbled things in his sleep, and I sighed, shaking him awake. He snuggled further into me, hiding his face from Maggie and Darius. He didn't, however, fall back asleep. Luke's eyes fluttered open, and he pressed a kiss to my neck.
