Calum's POV*

I yawn opening my eyes slowly, blinking a couple times to see what's going on. It was so weird, everything that happened until now, I can't get my head around it. I look to my side and see that I'm hugging Willow, who's peacefully sleeping next to me, holding my hand. I must've done that accidently, shit, I'll just slowly pull them away. I hope she doesn't kill me when she gets up...I was too tired and too comfortable to move last night. I succeed in pulling my hand away and carefully get out of the bed. I looked at the other beds, everyone was still sleeping, but someone was missing. Michael wasn't in his bed, just then I hear a loud sound of something falling on the ground, my head instantly turning in that direction.

"What the hell?" I mutter to myself as I walk over to the place a sound came from. It was coming from the outside and then I saw Michael picking up broken pieces of glass on the floor, seems like he broke a lantern.

"What happend here?" I whisper, crouching down to help him pick them up.

"I wanted to go out for some fresh air, but once I wanted back in I accidentally broke the lantern" he whispers back, kind of ashamed, I'm sure Zaine won't mind. The only things he would get angry with is stupidity, pure stupidity, when people make mistakes that are just silly.

"Did I wake you up?" he asks, I shake my head no, he nods, happy with my answer.

"And noone's awake except you and me" I inform him, figuring that was his next question.

"Good, everyone should definitely get some rest" he whispers, getting up, suddenly I notice he had flowers in his other hand.

"Who are those for?" I ask, smirking, having a pretty clear idea.

"Um...I can't tell you" he answers very fast, scratching the back of his neck.

"Why? We're mates, you can tell me" I encourage him, "I seriously can't Calum, the person told me not to tell anyone" he explains, going back inside.

"What? Wait, Michael" I groan, going after him. He hides the flowers in his backpack, wrapping a wet cloth at the ends.

"Sorry Calum" he apologises, putting a hand around my shoulder. I look at him, he seems like he wants to tell me, but he trusts the person who told him not to more, I thought that they would be for Crystal, but I'm not so sure now.

"It's fine, I'll find out sooner or later" I softly say, getting up and gesturing for him to come outside.

"Wanna just, sit and relax for a change?" I ask, sitting on Zaine's porch.

"That would be nice" he smiles, sitting next to me. After awhile of talking we notice someone approaching behind us.

"Morning boys, slept well?" Zaine asks, joining us.

"Yeah, one of better sleeps I've had in a while actually" I smile, Michael nods, agreeing with me.

"Good to hear, want to help me make some breakfast for all of us?" he asks, getting up to do so. Michael and I follow him, wanting to help of course. It's been so long since I've seen Zaine, or heard that I never will see him again, but now, that we're here, it feels like he never even left.

Willow's POV*

'Something here smells nice' you think to yourself, turning around in bed you open your eyes slowly to look to the side, Calum was awake it seems. You got up, eyeing the other beds, Luke, Sierra and Sarah were still sleeping, guess that Mali, Crystal and Michael were awake too. You walk over to the bathroom and knock.
