Adopted by a band...

Morning studio 1

Luke's POV

"How is everyone?" I asked as I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.

"Fucking tired," Jessie whispered pushing me her plate.

"Didn't sleep well," I asked as I tiredly lean against the counter and looked at her half full plate and shook my head and slid it back.

"I can't stand soft beds.." she mumbled and pushed it towards Mike.

"You can change how soft or hard that bed is," I said as I take a sip of the water and sat down. I can feel Ashton watching me instantly.

"That's what she said," Jessie mumbled laying her head down

I chuckled a little and shook my head. "Do you want me to show you how to fix it?" I asked as I looked over at Ashton and gave him a confused looked.

"I just wanna hurry up and get to the damn studio." She just looked at me with tired eyes.

"Are we all going or who taking you?" I asked as I yawned.

"I don't know because fucking Calum was supposed to but now he's gone" She snapped softly.

"Michael, would you take Jessie? And Ashton stop staring." I asked calmly to Michael and snapped lightly at Ashton. That made Ashton walk over to me.

"Sure..?" He whispered confused.

"What happened?" Ashton whispered and

"Thank you, Michael," I whisper and put my water back into the fridge before dragging Ashton into his room. And then I plopped down on his bed and groaned.

"What happened?" He said again watching me.

"Haylee. I don't know if I am enough to help her this time." I said as I looked over at him and took a deep breath.

"What do I have to do?" He asked sitting next to me.

"She cutting again Ashton and it's bad. Her hands are mostly open sores than skin." I said as my eyes started watering picturing her arms in my head.

"Just take a breath. We'll clean the hotel and when we get home we'll clean there too. And she can come to the studio with us. Involve her more in the process like we are Jessie. Like we used to." Ashton said calmly thinking. "I'll help. But if I can't Luke we have to send her to her family or to an institution. No talking me out of it."

"Her family doesn't care, Ash," I said simply as I nodded to his statements. "One question is Michael girlfriend coming today or tomorrow?" I asked as I stood up.

"Tonight. She won't like Jessie at all..." he said rubbing his face. "It's Michaels night tonight for Jessie too.."

"I don't even think Jessie likes Michael that much," I said quietly as there's a soft knock on Ashton door.

"Hey, ashy can I borrow some of you're bracelets," Haylee asked her voice came out very raspy like she just woke up.

"Bottom drawer.," he said quietly nodding at her. She nodded and gave us a small smile and walked to the dresser. "I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. He's one of the loudest ones here. And with Crystal here he'll be even rowdier.."

"You got that right," Haylee said chuckling a little as she sat on the floor and went through Ashton bracelet. She wears a t-shirt and trying her best to keep her inside of her arms out of Ashton site as she picked through the bracelet. Ashton saw me watching her and looked over his shoulder.

"Come here." He whispered patting the bed.

Haylee turn around giving Ashton a confused looked before slipping on some of the bracelets. She stood and walked over to the be very timidly before plopping down next him. She kept her arms crossed across her chest hiding the cuts.

"The only time someone asks for bracelets is when something broke." He said softly. He opened his arms and pulled Haylee into his arms. "What happened?"

"Nothing." She mumbles as he looked up at him. She didn't hug him back just keep her arms crossed.

"Then you'd hug back" he whispered.

I watch as she looked down at the ground biting her bottom lip really hard before hugging Ashton back.

"Now tell me. What's wrong?" He whispered into her ear pulling her into his lap. She looked like she was holding her breath. She then looked at me than him for a while be letting air out.

"Do I have too?" She asked quietly.

I watched Ashton nod as he looked down at her. His face showed even more emotion than I've probably ever seen on one person face.

"My mom marrying someone that treats her and me like shit. But she blinds and says she can't live without him." Haylee whisper quietly I could barely make out her words. I watched as she dropped her head down and let her hair fall into her face. I knew she now had fresh new tears pouring down her face.

"Hey, it'll be okay. If he lays a hand on you, or your mom, we'll deal with him. All of us. I mean it." Ashton hugged her tighter.

I watch as she nods and buries her head in Ashton's chest. I didn't know about any of this and breaks my heart that she kept it from me. I would notice bruises on her skin but she just said she fell or ran into something and I believe her lies. Ashton just wrapped his arms around her tighter and looked over at me. He gave me a sad smile.

He took a deep breath as a knock entered the room.

"What's going on where exactly am I going?" Michael asked softly slightly opening the door. No one has talked to Michael about what's going on with the music at all. He's been too involved in his video games.

"Haylee finish getting ready and we all will go," I said as I looked over at Ashton and Haylee. I looked back over at Michael who now looks very relieved that he doesn't have to do this on his own. Ashton gets up bring Haylee with him as he covers her arms in more bracelet. I told Michael to inform Calum that we are all going. We all ran around the apartment building getting everything we need as Jessie waited by the door looking a little impatient. We finally all file out the door before heading to the van. Ashton called driving. I just laughed as I piled into the van. The car ride was quiet with just light music and a little bit of humming. It was nice and relaxing. We finally got to the studio. We all pile out as we get attacked by fans. Haylee had a death gripped on my arm. And I watch as Jessie quickly push through everything with ease. I looked around and watched the guys taking pictures of the girls. Ashton's main focus was on Jessie as she walked out of our sights. He kinda whispered something to the girls and gave them a big smile before running towards the door. We ended up running after him soon after. When we got in Ashton was holding Jessie against her will with her arms across her chest. She looked very annoyed and pissed off. I just laughed and pulled her from Ash and let her walk to the back room. We made it to the room and Alex was already laughing at the closed window.

"Just breath and try," Alex said glancing at me as he talked into the microphone. I heard a soft groan from inside the room.

"If I fuck up I'm actually gonna cry," Jessie whispered obviously far from the mic. I heard a soft guitar before she cleared her throat. "Do I still put the headphones on or do I leave them off?"
