Dimples

Chapter 5

On the side is a picture of Calum Hood in case you didn't know who that was. I love Calum. He's so cheeky. :) Vote, comment, follow!

Talking stirs me from my slumber but I don't open my eyes to see who it is. I can already tell that it is Ashton by his voice.

"Alora," he whispers softly and I can feel his hand brush my cheekbone under my eye. Curious, I don't answer to see what he says. "Are you awake?" he asks and when I don't answer, he continues to talk. "I'm sorry, that I stormed out like I did. When you told us... what happened, I wanted so badly to hunt your father down and beat him until he couldn't breathe. I hate him so much and the hate was so thick that I couldn't think straight. I hate him, so much." His voice starts sounding thinker I know that he is getting closer to crying. I feel his head lower onto my arm and his body starts shaking. "I'm sorry." He sobs into my blankets. I take this as my sign to 'wake up'. I open my eyes and see that he is sitting in the plush chair leaning over to rest his upper body on my bed. His hand is gripping one of mine so I pull him up and into my chest to hold him.

"Its okay, Ashton." I mutter to him, making his jump slightly. He almost pulls away but decides against it and pulls me closer to him. We stay like this until he is hiccupping and pulls away from me with a red face.

"How much of that did you hear?" he asks and rubs the back of his neck.

"All of it." I giggle at his embarrassment.

"I am really sorry about leaving." He states again.

"I know. It's in the past though and we can't do anything to change it now." I smile slightly before I pull away so that I can stretch. "What time is it?" I ask.

"Around noon. Do you want some food?" he asks with a chuckle when he hears my stomach growls.

"That would be great." I laugh. He stands from his chair and wipes under his eyes a few times before smiling sheepishly and leaving. He accidently runs into Calum on his way out and does a weird man handshake before heading down the hallway. Calum smiles at me and sits where Ashton was before.

"Are you two okay now?" he asks looking to the door and back to me with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, we're okay." I tell him. I give him a smile but it quickly fades when I feel nausea course through my body. "Help me." I command him with as much of a voice I can muster. He looks confused but helps me to my feet and I turn to look towards the bathroom door and he gets the hint to help me towards it. I barely make it before I am vomiting. Calum holds back my hair as I continue to puke up the food that I ate yesterday. "Get somebody." I say in between waves.

"Will you be okay?" he ask still holding my hair back.

"Just... go." I cough as an unexpected wave surges up. I hear Calum leave the room and its only minutes later that he has my doctor in tow. Calum comes to hold my hair back again while we wait for the puking to stop. After too long, I finally have dry heaves and nothing comes back up. I pull away from the toilet and take deep breaths to try to catch my energy. Calum helps me to my feet and carefully helps me walk to my bed.

"Why am vomiting so much?" I ask the doctor in a breathless voice.

"I think you just have really bad morning sickness but we're going to run some precaution tests. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the child." The doctor smiles when he says child. "You are keeping it, correct?" he clarifies. I only nod my head, too tired to reply. "Okay, well you feel free to rest your eyes, I'm going to run some tests." I nod my head again and lay it against my pillow as the door opens, Ashton walking in.

"Hey, what happened?" he worries as he puts the tray of food on the table beside me.

"Bad morning sickness." Calum tells him since I don't bother lifting my head; I'm too tired.
