Y/F/N flashes across the screen and all of the tension you had is released.

"Hi," you say, sounding almost as if you are out of breath.

"Hey how's it going?" She says in a cheery voice. You have a lot to fill her in on.

"It's....well, it's going," you say as you walk into your bedroom and close the door behind you. The boys let you have the biggest one, they're staying in the other room, and one will probably have to sleep on the pull out couch.

"What's wrong? Was it Luke?"

"Yes, but not in the way you would think."

"What does he not want the baby?"

"Actually, I don't think he knows about the baby."

"What do you mean you don't think he knows." You take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, then let it out slowly.

"Luke's in the hospital, he overdosed." You hear Y/F/N suck in a sharp breath. After a few seconds of silence she finally speaks.

"Oh my god Y/N are you alright?" She sounds like she's about to cry, but almost anything can make her cry. She once cried when she saw a man propose to his girlfriend on our trip to New York.

"Well, I'm going to be. It'll be okay, I mean I have the rest of the boys here helping me out."

"Wow, how's Luke doing have you seen him?"

"They um..." you decide not to tell her about how he was found all beaten up. "Yeah I've seen him. He's in the I.C.U. at a hospital here in London.

"You're in London?"

"Yeah the boys flew me over here so that I could be with Luke."

"Awe, okay well you get some sleep. Call me tomorrow okay?"

"Okay," you say with a smile. You feel so lucky to have such good people as friends. You only have a few, but every one of them cares for you just as much as you care for them.

You set your phone down on the bedside table and change into one of Luke's t-shirts that you brought to sleep in. You took it off of his side of the bed back at their apartment, it doesn't smell much like him anymore, but it was the last one that he wore before the tour.

You slide a loose pair of shorts on and go out to the kitchen to get a glass of water. You see Calum unfolding the pullout bed from the couch.

"So you're the one that got stuck out here tonight huh?"

"Yep," he says, "I lost the thumb war." You laugh a little, glad that you are able to laugh at all right now. Your head has been spinning all day, and with the fact that you stayed up with Ashton all last night, you are so exhausted that you could sleep on a bed of nails.

"Sweet dreams Calum," you say as you head back to your room.

"Good night Y/N," you catch the sorrow in his voice, and as you step into your bedroom, you turn and see him wipe his cheek.
