Paris' P.O.V

Its been four months and Ashton and I have grew a lot closer by spending basically everyday together. We would go to the hospital early in the morning each day, I would visit my mom and Ashton would visit his sister, then after that we would head out of the hospital together, grab something to eat and spend a lot more time either at his or my house. Right now we are on our way to the hospital and Ashton wants me to meet his sister, her name is Lauren.

I am really happy that he wants me to meet her, I know its nothing but still, I would want him to meet my mom but not just yet. We stopped to get breakfast for a bit. Right after we got our breakfast, we headed out of the café, and walked to the hospital while eating.

We had arrived at the hospital, and we threw our trash away. We went up to the lady at the desk and checked in. It took a while for the lady when Ashton told her his sister.

"That's strange.?" She questioned.

"What?" Ashton questioned, a little scared.

"Lauren was checked out last night." She said.

"What do you mean she was checked out, who checked her out?" Now he began to panic, and even if I didn't know I myself started to panic a little.

"Some lady and a man came, said they were her parents, they showed her birth certificate." She kept saying.

I looked over to Ashton, he had a mixture of pissed, terrified and pain.

"Do you by any chance remember their names or last names at least?" He questioned.

"Let me see... It was, Mr. and Mrs. Perez."

'Fuck' I heard him mutter.

"Ash?" I asked.

"Is something wrong?" The lady asked, looking at Ashton and I.

"Uh, no nothings wrong," He said giving a small smile but I could tell it was fake.

"You can go see your mom Paris." He told me, looking at the ground.

I frowned, "Ash what's going on?"

"Its nothing."

"Ash please, you can talk to me." I told him giving a reassuring smile.

He stared at me for a few minutes, hesitating on whether to tell me or not.

"Follow me." He sighed.

I lifted an eyebrow but nodded an followed him to where the cafeteria was. He found a table and sat down, while I rolled my wheel chair to the side of the table.

Ashton is looking down at his hands which were folded, and I just stared at him. I would say his name, but I decided against it, letting him take his time.

"Do you remember when I told you that I was an orphan, well my sister and I are, and about the foster family we were living with?" He finally said.

I nodded.

"Well I don't know how, but they found us and took my little sister. I don't know if they still live in Melbourne or if they moved somewhere, but I have to find my little sister, she's all I got in family, I cant lose her." He cried.

"Hey, its ok, you'll find her." I told him, putting my hand on top of his and giving it a small squeeze. He just stared and I quickly moved my hand away, blushing hard.

"Sorry" I muttered.

"Its ok, but you don't get it Paris." He said.

"What don't I get?" I questioned.

"Our foster family, they aren't family to us, but they abused us really bad. They would feed the other kids and made Lauren and I watch, they never fed us, they would hit us, they would even put us in cages or put hot sauce in our mouths if we did anything. for Christ sakes! Who does that to kids?" He said in pain, tears going down his face.

I frowned deeply, who would do such horrible things? Those people don't deserve to be a foster family.

"I was 11 by that time, my sister was just 2 years old but they didn't care. So I made plan for me and my sister to leave since the people in charge of all the foster family didn't believe me. So when they were sleeping, I grabbed my sister and ran away from there, since I was little I didn't have money and I couldn't work and leave my sister alone, so we would sleep on the floor of the streets until I was old enough to get a job, and buy a house." He finished, wiping away his tears.

"Ashton, I'm so sorry you had to live through that." I told him, my voice with sadness.

"She isn't safe and I need to get her back fast before something worse happens." He said.

"I'll help you find her." I told him, smiling a little.

He shook his head no which made me frown.

"No way Paris, I love that you want to help but I'm not putting you through that, I need you safe." He told me sternly.

"But I really want to help you look for her." I said stubbornly.

"I really love that you want to help, but I cant rick you getting hurt." He said.

"Ash, I've been hurt before, I can take care of myself, have been for the past 2 years. Plus you'll be there to help if I need anything." I told him being more stubborn.

"You really aren't going to let this go are you?" He questioned, forming a small smile.

"Nope." I said popping the 'p'.

"Ok fine you can come." He giggled.

'Can I hear that again? Because his giggle is just ugh.' I thought.

"Yay! Oh but I think you should meet my mom before we go, so she knows I'm not with some random stranger?" I told him.

He nodded, "Thank you Paris, this means a lot." He said giving me a small smile.

"Anything Ash, I love seeing people happy and you deserve to be happy." I said, giving him the same small smile he had.

He got up and I pushed my wheel chair backwards. We headed to my mom's room. Once we got there, I greeted Ashton to my mom and my mom to Ashton. We talked for a while, and I could tell my mom enjoyed talking to Ashton.

I asked her if I could go on a road trip that Ashton was going on. I couldn't really tell her why but I really hope she says yes.

I frowned when she looked hesitant, that's it, I'm not going.

She sighed, "Alright, you can go."

I shot my head up, smiling big, "really?!"

I looked over to Ashton and he had the same excited face as me.

"Yes, just please call me every night and be careful. And Ashton please take care of her." She said.

"I won't let anything bad happen to her, I promise." Ashton said, nodding.

"Thank you, and be safe, both of you. Please." My mom said, worry in her voice.

"We will mom, thank you so much." I said, rolling over to her and giving her a tight hug and a kiss to the cheek.

After we said our goodbyes to my mom, Ashton and I walked out if the hospital to his house.

When we got there, we got in his car, he carried me bridal style to the passenger seat and put my wheel in the back seat.

We headed to my house to get me some clothes, after that we headed to Melbourne first to see if that is where she is.

I really hope she is safe.
