“Ashton wake up silly billy!” said an annoyingly cute voice the next morning, I knew straight away it was Skylar “Sky go away” said Ashton from next to me in a groggy morning voice. I opened my eyes the see Sky looking down at me and Ashton with her hands on her hips and her long blonde air tied up in a messy bun “Ashton you’re my boyfriend! You are coming to spend time with me now!” she shouted stamping her foot and crossing her arms, Ashton tensed up and sat up flinging his arm out across the room almost hit her in the face “I’M GETTING THE FUCK UP! I WISH JUST ONCE YOU WOULD LET ME SLEEP IN YOU’RE SO NEEDY!” he shouted at her from his spot on the bed next to me, his sudden change of volume scared me and made Michael wake up. “I-I just wanted to spend the day with you ashy-pie” she said in a low tone reaching out to touch his arm “we spend every waking moment together! And even sometimes I sneak into your room just to hold you at night! We’re hardly ever apart” he said his voice more soft now but still had that hard tone running a hand through his hair untangeling his curls. She pouted down at him and he sighed, he looked down at me and rolled his eyes before getting out of bed and shooing her outside so he could get ready “just end it with her mate” said Michael looking up at Ashton with tired expression.

“I can’t I love her too much and she loves me, I’m not going to hurt her like that” he said stretching out his arms “you’re not happy though.. go on a break for like 4 hours” Michael suggested rolling over having his back facing us. Ashton smiled and shook his head at his friends stupid suggestion “you little miss” he said looking down at me his curly fridge hiding one eye from view “are you okay?” he asked with concern I shook my head and sighed. After last night’s events I don’t think I’ll be okay for a long time, sure I killed my uncle but I didn’t stand there and watch him as he died! Calum could be dead right now and there’s nothing I can do.

“you’ll be okay” he said reaching down and running his fingers down my bare arm as if to comfort me. “Michael get up you ass and get her mind off this and I’ll keep sky with me all week” he said hitting Michael over the head with a pillow earning a growl from Michael “Yeah I will I an hour or two” Michael mumbled into his pillow falling asleep again.

“Luke?” I said knocking on his office door, I knocked and knocked until he swung open the door with an aggravated look displayed on his face. Michael and I had done all the things you can do in this place, well except breakfast but nothing seemed to be working so I just made Michael take me to Luke so Luke can take me the Calum. “What Raven?” he snapped his eyes turning a deep blue and his forehead developing wrinkles as he frowned at me “I need you to take me to Calum” I said not really giving a shit about his attitude this morning, he sighed and rubbed his forehead then looked behind me at Michael “morning Mr Clifford” he greeted Michael “morning Hemmings” Michael said back in a annoyed tone.

I cleared my throat and tapped my barefoot on the cement below me, Luke looked down at my feet and pointed “you have no socks! I’ll get you socks, I’ll get you socks” he said over and over shutting the door slightly then returned moments later with a pair of bright orange socks in hand. “Put them on, you’ll catch a cold” he said handing them to me, I rolled my eyes and slipped them on so he wouldn’t spend half an hour telling me how my body would react with a cold in a place like this “Can we go now?” I asked I’m growing impatient by the minute “yes, yes okay lets go” Luke said pushing past me and shoving his hands into the pockets of his grey cardigan like always.

“Keep up Raven” he said looking back at me, I groaned and ran to keep up with him, one hop, skip and a stairwell later we reached the hospital wing where a blonde lady with large breasts stood at the front desk her uniform tag readying ‘Polly’. “Morning Polly, I was wondering if I can take Young Raven into see her injured cellmate?” he asked sweetly, she smiled at him then looked down at me and her expression quickly changed “sorry but no visiting” she said and went back to her work at the desk, I sighed and rolled my eyes, Luke shrugged and placed a hand on my arm turning me away but before he could do so I spoke up.

“If you don’t let me In I’ll burn you alive in this god forsaken hospital wing, let me see him.” I said crossing my arms “Raven!” Luke scolded, she stiffened up and frowened at me “you’re not allowed in. Do I need to call security?” she asked moving her hand under the desk to what I guess is a button that alerts security. I sighed and turned around walking back down the hall forgetting about Michael and Luke as I did, how dare she? Not letting me in to see him like that! I was the one that saved him after all, or maybe I didn’t, maybe he is dead and they don’t want to tell me! “Raven slow down!” Michael called from behind me his footsteps echoing as he ran to keep up with me.

“You walk fast when you’re mad” he commented when finally caught up, I huffed in response “how come when I first met you, you were really weird and now you’re kind of like.. as normal as it gets around here?” I asked taking a corner, from the corner of my eye I could see him smiling “well, for everyone new here I make up a lie so nobody knows why I’m actually in here, so for you it was that rat thing.. that wasn’t mine by the way it was Jeff’s. Ashton I told him I had really bad depression and for sky it was something like I skinned a cat I can’t remember it was so long ago” he said finishing in a chuckle. I nodded and kept walking trying to understand the story he is telling me, but nothing is adding up, why did he make these lies up? “why do you lie?” I ask, he shrugs and stays silent until we reach my cell “I don’t trust people here and I like to keep to myself” he said leaning agents the door frame of my room his arms across his chest. Normally I would be attracted to a person of Michaels description, green eyes, not to chubby not too bulky, messy blonde hair, really white skin, quiet, kept to themselves but this time I’m just not into it maybe it’s the asylum.

“Yeah well that’s a good enough reason” I sighed looking into my cell, its around 12 in the afternoon and all I want to do it eat and sleep but I don’t know which should come first. “Wanna go eat?” he asked nodding his head to the Activity Room, I nodded and we made our way down the hall into the room where everybody was in a line awaiting Lunch, but Ashton and Sky had already gotten Michael and myself a plate of whatever they were trying to shove down my throat today and were now waving over at us to join them.

“Raven! Raven! Michael!” shouted Sky standing up on her tippy toes waving and arm around in the air. “Do we have to?” Michael asked bending down to my level, I nodded slowly and grabbed his arm dragging behind me as we approached the table. “I got you two some lunch, its macaroni and cheese today!” she exclaimed in her high pitched voice, Michael and I sat down next to each other and I engulfed the awful food in a matter of minutes. “Any luck in seeing Calum?” Ashton asked shoving a spoonful of his macaroni into his mouth, I shook my head and pushed my bowl away from me “nope, can’t see him until he is out I suppose” I answered looking around the room then back to the couple in front of me acting lovey dovey making me roll my eyes. “So how long have you all been in here?” I asked everyone at the table “2 years” answered Ashton “5 years” answered Sky, Michael was quiet then opened his mouth “9 years” he sighed playing with his food, damn. I wonder what it is like being in here for that long “I know Calum has been in here for like what? 4 years?” said Ashton asking Michael, he just shrugged and continued to play with his food.

“3 years now actually”
