Torn

Chapter 29

*Flashback*

"I need you to break up with Luke." I was sitting in my room doing some homework when Ashton came into my room and sat on my bed.

"Why?" At first I thought he was joking but I can always read his emotions no matter what and he was being serious.

"Because I don't want you dating my best friend anymore."

"He was my best friend first so I kinda think I have an advantage when you pull the best friend card."

"It's just to weird Lydia and you guys are having problems anyways."

"Don't you dare bring my relationship problems into this conversation Ashton! You have no right!"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"The facts that you really know nothing about."

"You know that's not true. I know everything about both of you."

"You may be right but you still can not tell me who I can and can not date."

"Just listen to me-"

"I don't want to listen to you! Get out of my room!" I got up off the bed and pushed him out of my room.

"Stay away from me!" I slammed my door in his face and fell onto my bed.

*End of Flashback*

When I woke up it took me a couple of minutes to figure out where I am.

"Hello beautiful." Michael was sitting in the chair next to the bed holding Dylan.

"Hey mikey."

"She's very beautiful."

"Thank you but she looks like Luke."

"Yeah but I can see a hint of you in her and that's what makes her beautiful."

"How did I get so lucky with such a great best friend?"

"I don't know."

"Hey babe." Luke came in and kissed me before sitting at the end of my bed.

"I have some bad news."

"I'm gonna take Dylan to go see her brother." Michael walked out and left us alone.

"You have to go to LA, don't you?"

"How did you know?"

"I've seen that face before Luke, it means your leaving."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah whatever."

"I really am sorry."

"I don't care Luke! Just leave already!" He flinched when I raised my voice but got up to walk out anyways.

"I'll be back in a few days." He walked out and closed the door behind him.

I got up out of the bed and went to go check on Collin. Michael was there still holding Dylan and rocking her.

"Did he tell you he was leaving?"

"Yeah, he told me before you woke up."

"Cool."

"Do you want to hold Dylan?"

"Yes but I also really want to hold Collin." Michael handed me Dylan and then opened up the incubator for Collin.

"What are you doing?"

"You're allowed to hold him."

"No, I don't want to break him."

"You're not gonna break him, I promise. Give me back Dylan." I reluctantly gave him Dylan and put my hands inside the incubator.

"Now pick him up like you would Dylan or Logan."

"I don't know."

"Just hold your child Lyd."

"Okay." I put my hand under his head and butt and pulled him into my chest.

"Just relax." I relaxed my arms a bit and just stared at him.

"You're doing good." The doctor came and stood next to us.

"Thanks."

"Collin has been doing really well and gained an ounce since he was born."

"Oh good job sweetheart."

"Dylan and Logan can go home tomorrow but Collin is going to have to stay for another week, maybe two."

"Okay. Is there anything I can do?"

"Just hold him everyday and be there for him."

"I can do that."

"Good." She fixed the feeding tube in his nose and then left.

"She's very pretty."

"Oh god Michael."

"What? I'm just stating my opinion."

"She's like 20 years older than you and married." I put Collin back into the incubator and took Dylan back from Michael. We walked back into the room and Ashton was sitting on the bed with Logan. Regan and Calum were sitting on the couch on the other side of the room.

"Get out of my seat." I handed Dylan to Regan and made Ashton get off the bed so I could get back in.

"How do you feel?"

"Sore."

"That's normal but what isn't normal is that Logan smiled at me."

"You've got to be kidding me! He wouldn't smile at anyone!"

"He smiled at me."
