Intoxicated (calum hood)

Chapter 8

July 28th 8 :00 am

Thank you again ash" I tell him at breakfast

"You're my best friend you needed help I was more than happy for you to stay here" he smiles

After I left Calum's the next day I called to tell him I was coming to get my things, when I showed up with ashton he went ballistic throwing and breaking a lot of my things we just shoved my clothes in bags and left I wasn't going to cave and comfort him when he kept such a big secret from me today is one month we've been apart

"Hello? Earth to lily?" Ashton's monster hands waved in my face

"What? Im Sorry I zoned out" I mumbled grabbing a piece of bacon

"It's alright I was just saying if you want to make work on time you need pants" Ashton's smirk is too adorable as I run to his room and grab my black scrub pants

"I'm ready" I tell him

"Let's go then princess" he smacks my ass making me shriek

------------------------------------

10:00am

We'd just gotten to the pediatric ward when I see no smiles

"What's happened?" Angie our charge nurse turns to me

"Rosie.... She um" she sniffles

"No..... She was getting better!" I run down the hall to see a newly cleaned room nothing left of hers except a drawing she made of me Calum and her

"I...I ..." I break down in tears Ashton's arms pull me into his chest as I clutch the picture for dear life

"It's ok lily she's not suffering anymore"

"It doesn't make sense!" I yell muffled into his shirt

"It never does babe" his hands run on my spine comforting me

"I can't do this today" he just nods and gives me his keys Angie looks at me in sympathy before nodding giving me the ok to leave

--------------------------------------

11:00am

I don't know how I ended up here but here I am in Calum's drive way crying holding Rosie's picture

A knock on the window scares me and I see Ana I open the door

"Dear are you alright?" Her voice heavy with concern

"Is Calum home?" She nods

"He's in the office love" she hugs me and leads me into the house

-------------------------------

11:30am

I finally breathe out and knock on the door I front of me

"Come in" his voice soft like silk just like I remember it

His eyes lift and he takes in my appearance he's next to me in an instant

"Lilith? Are you alright? Baby tell me what happened talk to me?"

"I ... She...." I just cry holding onto him for support soaking his button up

I drop the picture that was so tight in my grasp he picks it up still holding me and pieces it together

"Baby.... It's going to be ok not this second but soon" he kisses my head and holds me
