Kat's P.O.V:

"I didn't kiss Holly. I swear I didn't kiss her. I don't want to kiss her. I want to kiss you. I want to love you and I want to make you happy again. Please Kat, please let me make you happy again. Please, talk to me!" Calum cried out, tears streaming down his face as he broke down. Luke, Ash, and Michael were behind him, crying silently as well.

I knew that this would happen. I've kept them all in the dark for so long now, through so many things, I haven't spoken a word. I don't know what to do!! I'm in love with Calum, it hurt so much when I thought he kissed her... and I love the guys, but I don't want to lose my sister.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face as I stared at the only 4 constants in my life. But suddenly, everything went white. I panicked, looking around but seeing nothing around me, before a figure suddenly appeared. It was hard to make out who it was but after a few moments my blurry eyes focused, causing me to gasp.

I quickly ran to her, wrapping my arms around her tightly as she hugged me back.

"Lucy I'm so sorry, I don't want to lose you but I don't want to lose them either!?! I don't know what to do" I cried out and she pulled back from the hug, smiling warmly at me.

"Katrina, sisters are supposed to help you out of your comfort zone and let you live your life. I've kept you to myself for long enough. I will always be here, you just won't be able to see me. I was here to help you in times of my need and I always will be. Go join your new family Katrina, you deserve it" she said angelically.

"But what if I need you!! Or if they leave me?!? What will I do then!?! What if-"

"Katrina"

"Yes?"

"It's okay"

"..I love you"

"I love you more"

That was the last time I saw Lucy. Because after we said those words to each other, I came back to the real world. It seemed like time had frozen when I left because everyone was positioned exactly the same.

"Kat?" Calum's hoarse voice spoke.

"Okay" I said.

...

Silence.

All that could be heard was silence.

Complete and utter silence.

And then I saw the one thing that could brighten my life, even if only temporarily. All of their smiles. The biggest smiles I had ever seen them wear.

"Did you just-" Michael cut himself off as he stared at me, wide eyed.

"Yeah" I whispered, smiling shyly at him and he ran towards me, engulfing me in a huge hug.

"YOU SPOKE!! YOU SPOKE!! YOU SPOKE I'M SO HAPPYYYY!!!" He screamed and I winced slightly.

"You're yelling in my ear" I whispered and he froze.

"Sorry" he whispered, pulling away from me and smiling sheepishly.

"Am I dreaming right now?" Luke asked and I laughed lightly.

"No, this is real life" I responded as his happy, electric blue eyes connected with mine. He moved forward, hugging me before placing a kiss on my head since he was so tall.

"So.. you don't have an Australian accent?" Calum said, clearly trying to hide his happiness, making me giggle.

"No, I'm not originally from here. I was born in Illinois but as soon as they allowed me on a plane my mum flew me over here, but I guess I just never lost my accent" I said, shrugging slightly.
