Laughing with the boys, I stared adoringly at my currently natural haired brunette boyfriend. His dimples were popping out of his cheeks.

Slipping my phone out of my pocket, I answered the call silencing my ringtone.

"Hi Luke" my mum mumbled through the phone.

"Hey mum, what's up?"I asked confused, she'd already rang me today.

"Um... god" she sighed.

"I'm sorry Lu"

"For what?" I asked even more confused, the boys all looking at me trying to figure out what Liz was saying.

"You know Autumn?"

"As in my best friend in secondary? Yeah why?"

"Well I don't know whether you knew but she had cancer"

"What do you mean had? She's better now?" I asked trying to avoid the inevitable.

"Luke.... I'm so sorry"

I hung up the phone.

Staring at the wall for what felt like years, I abruptly stood up and threw my phone against the wall of mine and Ashton's house and stormed into our bedroom.

Not hearing the three sets of footsteps running up the stairs, I grabbed the photo of me and Autumn off the bedside table and threw it across the room. The deafening crash made the footfall in the hallway even louder but I was still deaf to that.

All I could hear was the self-consuming silence that was ringing in my ears.

Hearing the door open behind me, I took the ring off my finger that she got me for my sixteenth birthday and hurled it across the room to lay with the smashed photo frame near the doorway making the others flinch.

I then let out a pain filled scream my hands in my hair, sobs emitting from my mouth. I slid slowly down the wall my chest heaving. Slowly rocking back and forth I cried, the pain in my chest getting worse by the second.

Feeling a gentle hand on my shoulder, I let Ashton pull me into a tight embrace.

We sat there for god knows how long, until I couldn't cry anymore.

"Lu, what did your mum say?" Ashton asked softly stroking my forehead.

Mikey was situated on the bed to my left watching me and Ash.

I turned my attention to Calum. He picked up the ring and placed it on the dresser next to the door. He then pulled the photo gently from the frame and tossed the shards of glass in the bin.

"Who's this?"

Ashton stood up from his crouched position next to me and took the photo from Calum's grasp.

"Autumn..?"

"S-she she had cancer and um... I" I stuttered breaking into floods of tears.

"Oh lukey" Michael said before hugging me tightly, sinking down on the carpet beside me.

The drummer and bassist were quick to join the hug. They were slowly making the darkness inside slightly less scary. I felt less alone.
