Luke and I both slept pretty long the next day and when we got downstairs we were greeted by a lovely breakfast my mum prepared and two tired looking boys.

"Morning" Jaime murmured and Larry just nodded his head.

I laughed and said:"You guys need your coffees."

Luke and I went to the train station to say goodbye to Larry and Jaime before we decided to visit Ashton, who made huge progress in remembering things.

Ashton and Luke talked a little bit about band stuff as I played with the locket Luke gave me and Ashton pointed at it.

"What's that?"

"He gave it to me for my birthday" I pointed at Luke, smiling.

I showed Ashton the inside of the locket and he smiled.

"That was such a lovely day. Calum took a really great snap there"

I smiled, it made me so happy to see how much Ashton remembered again and even though some blanks still had to be filled, he was almost back to "pre car crash Ashton"

"It feels so good to remember all of you guys again" Ashton giggled "It was quite funny to not remember you all for a while to be honest"

I shook my head in disbelief. "Funny?"

"That wasn't funny at all, Ash" I stated and he started laughing a little.

"She's right. But i'm so glad that you're feeling that fantastic again, bro." Luke said and I grinned as the door opened and Calum and Michael, who dyed his hair back to black, opened the door and sat down besides us.

"I missed hanging out with all of you at the same time" Calum admitted and I nodded.

"Me too"

Calum and Michael looked at each other for a second and Michael nodded slightly as I furrowed my eyebrows.

"We have to announce something" Michael said and I was confused for a little.

"You two?" Luke asked just as confused as I was.

Suddenly Calum seemed to catch on as he burst out laughing.

"We're not coming out to you guys...yet."

We all started laughing and Michael continued:"The headteacher wants us to play a few songs at the "welcome back" concert thing after the break in a few weeks."

Luke's eyes widened. "Why haven't you told me yet?"

"He just told us yesterday and you were too busy planning Bella's birthday anyways so we figured we'd just tell both of you at once."

Ashton nodded quietly and Calum asked him:"Should we do it or don't you feel ready yet?"

Ashton shrugged. "I'll be able to walk around in a week, two weeks until I can play the drums again. If that's enough time to practice I'd say we do it."

All the other boys decided to do it aswell and soon after making that clear, Calum and Michael left again as they wanted to write a few new songs.

I went to the kitchen to get some drinks for me and the boys and when I came back to the room I started hearing something really interesting and even though I didn't mean to evesdrop, I just couldn't interrupt them so I just got closer to the door so that I could hear the boys more clear.

"...but if it's not true why would you tell me that I used to bully her and that she hated me?" Ashton's voice halled through the door.

"I'm really sorry, Ash. I've been selfish as fuck, I thought that if you thought that she actually hated you, you guys wouldn't be as close as before the accident and I wouldn't have to deal with all the jealousy."

I covered my mouth with a hand as I realized that the boys were talking about me and that Luke told Ashton lies about our relationship just to keep Ashton away from me.

"I'm so sorry" I heard Luke going on as I also realized why Ashton apologized to me a few days ago. How could Luke use Ashton's memory loss for such a dumb thing?

I heard Ashton say:"It's too late to change what happened but I'd really appreciate if you trusted me from now on, you and Bella are both way too important to me to try and get inbetween you."

I heard Luke sigh. "I just hope she'll never find out about this, she'd hate me."

Still in shock, I opened the door a little, said:"Too late" and left with tears streaming down my face as I sobbed quitely.
