Asylum ➸ c.h

Twenty Six >>

As usual Calum and I talked about utter nonsense and Luke and Ashton laughed at our conversations shaking their heads at the stupid topics, about an hour into our walk/tour of the town we walked past my bookshop so I thought I would stop by and say hi to Danny and Sam.

"Danny!" I called as I opened the door, Danny was at the front desk playing with a pencil when he was us walk in. He smiled and walked over to us waving.

"Hey Raven" he greeted smiling, Calum stood by my side awkwardly bouncing on the ball's of his feet waiting to be introduced. "Oh, this is Calum, Luke and Ashton" I said standing back pointing to each person as I introduced them. Danny smiled and shook each boys hand then took a few steps back looking at each of them "What can I help you with?" Danny asked turning and walking towards the counter with us tailing behind him.

"Um do you have any new books?" asked Calum looking around the store, Danny nodded and went behind the counter to the computer and started writing in random names of books "any type in particular?" Danny asked as his fingers pressed the keys of the keyboard.

"Horror" Calum answered and linked hands with me running his thumb across the back of my hand, Danny found a few books for Calum and went off to fetch them. When I looked over my shoulder Luke and Ashton were gone, probably looking for some psychology books for Luke to read.

"Here we have a few, not new but still good reads" Danny stated approaching us with two Steven King books in hand, Carrie and It. Calum didn't say anything he just bought the two books and walked away looking for the other two.

"Where is Sam?" I asked leaning on the table crossing my arms in front of my chest "he didn't come in, apparently he had an appointment" Danny explained smiling, we both knew when Same didn't come into work it's because he got lucky the night before. "Eww" I giggled covering my mouth, Danny lightly pushed me and nodded behind me.

"So who is the one you are dating?" he asked leaning down on his elbows, I looked over my shoulder to see the three boys awkwardly standing waiting for me to return "oh I'm not dating any of them... but I like the dark one with curly black hair" I said pointing back at Calum who looked up and waved making me smile.

"He is cute" Danny chuckled the stood up straight again "if he does anything to you let me know and I'll get Sam on him" he said smiling, I laughed and nodded "dually noted" standing up straight also "anyways I'm gonna go" I said point back to the exit, Danny nodded and waved then walked back into the back room where Chloe's office is.

"Ready?" Calum asked and laced his fingers with mine, I nodded and smiled and lead the group out the door.

After walking around for a few more hours we decided to go get something to eat, we stopped at a local café and got sandwiches and drake coffee. "So when do you guys want to do the funeral?" Ashton spoke drumming his fingers on his now empty plate "Um we can do it whenever" I said reaching over and grabbing his hand and rubbing it trying to sooth him.

"Can we do it right now?"

"Now?"

"Yeah, it's nice and peaceful and I think Sky would have liked it" Ashton said smiling and pulled back from me releasing my hand.

"We don't need a priest" he explained.

"Thank god" I said lightly laughing and receiving a chuckle from Calum.

"We can just say a few words about both Michael and Skylar and then we can toast to them or something" he said, now we all know that Michael isn't actually dead he is just a living potato at the Asylum but in memory of never seeing him again we will also pay tribute to him.
