Lost Twins

Chapter 17

*two weeks later*

Its been a couple of weeks and things have been okay. I'm still a little on edge but I am better. Michael has beent throwing himself into his music. I don't see any of the boys as much because they are always working but that's okay. I'm home alone right now just sitting in the living room. Then there is a knock on the door.

I get up to open the door thinking its the boys and they forgot the key again. I shake my head but unlock it and open it and then freeze when I see who it is.

My "parents"

"Jasmine!" My mother says and pulls me into a hug. I dont move. I dont know what to do. Then my dad comes in and kisses my cheek. I cringe but then work up the courage to speak. "What the he'll are you doing here?" They both step back.

They look at me surprised "how do u know where I am?" They look at each other and laugh. "Honey you are all over the news. Seems you slept ur way into fame" I scoff "Not that it matters to you but I found my real family. People who actually love me. Not some fake assholes who TOOK ME FROM MY FAMILY!" I shout the last part sure to emphasize it. My "mother" comes up and pushes me to the ground. "Don't U dare talk to ur parents like that." She screams at me.

"You are not my parents" I glare at them from the floor. My "father" comes and kicks my stomach. "We never wanted you anyway. We just came to see if you really are the slur we thought you were"

They laugh and kick me a couple more times. They then leave me on the floor and go through the house. I try to get up but I can't move. I manage to crawl to the couch and grab my phone. I call calum.

"Cass?"
"Cal. Help" I whisper not able to really talk.
"Cass what wrong"
"My parents are back. They hurt me cal. Send help. Please"

Then they come down stairs. "Who are you talking to?" My father screams and takes the phone. Hits me across the face with it and then throws it across the room. He then picks me up and takes me to the kitchen. He takes out a pair of handcuffs and binds me to the chair.

I'm weak. Tired. And he hits me a couple more times. Then as he is about to punch me in the face the door bursts open. Police come and take him down. The arrest him and my mother and a nice older man comes and lets me free. I fall limply as he carries me to a Gurnee. I'm then put into the abulance van and taken to the hospital. Wow. Why don't I just live there at this point.

I'm still awake. Barely. But awake. I listen to the medical talk but cant understand it. All I get is that I have a bruised rib and cheek. Possible internal bleeding. Great. Again.

We get to the hospital and all I see are bright lights. I feel someone grab my hand. I look and its Calum. "Sir you can't come this way we need to check for internal bleeding." I feel him me let go and I reach for him but my arm falls weak.

I finally close my eyes. And drift off to sleep.

*Calums POV*

I can't believe this happened again. Why does she keep getting hurt? Can I not keep her safe? I punch the wall next to me and Michael comes up to me. "Calum calm down. She is the biggest fighter we know. She will be fine. You know that" I look at him in disbelief "that's your fucking girlfriend in there. My sister. She has been hurt once again and you expect me to be calm. I can't protect her. I'm supposed to keep her safe. I promised her that and now shes hurt again because I wasn't there!"

I slide down the wall and put my head in my hands and cry. Michael comes to my level. "Calum she has a bad past. We all know it. You can't protect her from everything. But she is tough as hell. Shes a hood. And you are the toughest sons of bitches i have ever known. Bad things happen but you cant blame yourself. Thats not what she wants. All we can do is be there for her when she needs us and make her feel better when things go down hill. She will get past this. We all will. We will all be okay. Don't blame yourself. Your too good for that." He smiles at me and I can't help but think he's right. He really is the perfect guy for cassie. I'm happy she has him.

I pull him into a hug and thank him just as the doctor comes out "hood?" I get up and rush twards him. "Yes?"

He gives me a genuine smile "she seems to be fine just a couple bruises. No fractures. She should be completely fine in a week. She's awake now if you would like to see her." I thank the doctor and run to her room. She sits up. Flinches in pain but smiles. I run and hug her trying to be careful. Ashton and Luke run in soon after. And we all get into a group hug. She laughs and then we let go and she lays back down. We all talk for a while. Laughing and messing around.

Michael is laying in the bed with her right now and it makes me so happy to see how happy she is. Soon a man walks in. "Hi I am detective Henson. I'm the one who arrested your attackers. We just need a statement to press charges."

*Cassie POV*

I nod in response and tell what happened. He thanks me and walks out.

Its quiet for a minute but then the doctor comes in and the boys have to leave. I nod. They all give me a kiss on the cheek except Michael who gives me a real kiss and then they leave. I lay down and instantly feel tired.
