Ashton P.O.V
When the doctor said surgery, Mallory's Face went pale, she looked like she was gonna pass out. I quickly grabbed her hand, laced my fingers through hers and gave it a squeeze.
"Miss Williams, well need to get you into surgery as soon as possible, but I think the earliest is in two days. We will have to make you and appointment. But for now, I'll let you guys talk." And with that, the doctor left.
Mallory looked at me with wide eyes. They looked as if they were going to pop out of her head.
"Ashton, I can't do surgery." Her eyes were glassy.
"Mal, you have to do this." I said.
"No I can't Ash, that's how my mom died." She looked down at her lap and I could tell she was crying.
"Want to talk about it?"
She nodded her head and took a deep breath.
Calum's P.O.V
We all got the text that read "Took Mallory to the Emergency room. Text you after bit." From Ashton.
None of us have any clue about why she would be there, how she's doing or anything. We are all currently sitting in Ashton's living room, we is me, Michael, Luke, Brooke, Gracie and Hayes. Were watching Pitch Perfect, Brooke's request. Gracie got up and must have went to the bathroom or something. About half way through the movie, the door flew open.
"Where are they?!" A man shouted. Who the hell is he?
"Who are you?!" Luke shouted standing up facing the man. Brooke stood up behind him, fear striking in her eyes. Me, Michael and Hayes also stood up.
"Who are you looking for?!" Hayes asked the mysterious man. Hayes didn't look like he could do anything, but I've seen him and Nash wrestle, they're both pretty tough.
"Shut up little boy." He laughed at Hayes. You could see the redness covering most of his face.
"I'm looking for my two daughters, Mallory and Gracie. Now where are they."
"Who's that?" I asked and looked around the room. I winked my right eye so Mals dad wouldn't see. I prayed that they all saw it.
"We don't know any Valerie Or Macy, wasn't that the names?." Mikey said with a straight face. With Michael saying that, I knew the rest of them would catch on.
"Why don't you just leave?" Brooke piped in, still standing behind Luke. Brooke was usually quiet, I have no idea where this burst came from.
"Shut up little girl." Mallory's father laughed at her.
Mallory and Gracie are so different from their father. I wouldn't have know they were related by the way they act. The girls are so kind and loving, good to have around and know what's best. This man, this man is just horrid.
Brooke walked around Luke and walked over to the man. And by the looks on all of our faces, she surprised us all. She lifted her hand and slapped him across the face, hard on the cheek.
Mallory's P.OV
I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself down. I haven't told anyone this.
"Well, my mom had a tumor, on her left ribcage. It kept growing and growing. Finally she went to the doctor, and they had to get it removed." I took a moment to take a couple more deep breaths. Ashton rubbed the top of my hand with his thumb.
"She went into surgery the next week, the doctors hit something, she started bleeding uncontrollably. The doctors couldn't do anything to stop it. Her heart couldn't keep up, and it just stopped." I wasn't crying. I was just kinda, Numb. That's how I would explain it. I looked up at Ashton, and I saw a few tears escape his eyes.
"I'm so sorry Mal" He cried, digging his face in my hair so I couldn't see him cry.
"Baby, look at me." I said pulling my head away, his face revealing.
"It's okay, Yes I miss her, every day of my life. But I can't bring her back." I lightly smiled. I pecked his lips and the corners of his lips curled.
"You know you still have to do the surgery, right?" Ashton says while intertwining our fingers.
"I know." I huffed and walked out the door. I could hear Ashton's chuckle back in the room and I smiled to myself.
I'm in love with this boy.
