{ Ashton }

I'm on my way to Tatum's. I'm worried about her. She hasn't answered any of my text or calls, and according to Calihan, she's extremely stressed and she's turning depressed. She's barely eaten and she slept until noon everyday- missing all her classes. She didn't even come over Thursday night like usual.

Tomorrow we leave for Hawaii. I know that's the root of all this. She's scared to death. She's been having to get all these things together. And I know she's scared. She has to face the guys who hurt her 11 years ago and relive the whole experience.

As soon as I pulled in the driveway, Calihan and Jasper were standing outside. I nervously got out and smiled, grabbing my suitcase and clothes for the morning out of the back. Jasper took my bag and I followed Calihan inside,

"She hasn't left her room today and she hasn't eaten. She also doesn't know you're here" he explained, "We're ordering pizza in a bit. I'll bring it up to you and Tate"

He then pushed me to the stairs. I climbed them and walked to the end of the hall and slowly opened Tatum's door, trying not to scare her.

Tatum was at her desk, back to me. She didn't even turn around. But, I could tell she looked cute- she always looks cute. Her hair was in a bun and I could tell her glasses were on. She had gray sweats and a white crop top on, along with fuzzy socks,

"Babe" I spoke and laid my clothes on her bed. She stopped her movements and turned around. Her eyes were red and she looked sick almost,

"What're you doing? I thought we were picking you up on the way to the airport?" She asked with a tilted head,

"I wanted to make sure you're okay" I knelt down in front of her. She looked down and played with her fingers, making me reach out and take her hand,

"I'm fine" she mumbled, leaning forward and placing a kiss on my lips,

"Wait" she pulled back, "Aren't you supposed to be in the studio? I thought you said you were there until 9 tonight"

"Well, how my girl is doing is more important" I told her.

She looked down again as I stood. I lifted her body and sat in her desk chair, putting her back down on my lap where she turned around to face me.

"I'm sorry. I've just been trying to get all the papers for court and I had school that I skipped so I have make up work and I had physical therapy-" Tatum kept rambling. I wasn't going to stop her but Jasper walking in the room did.

He sat a box of pizza and two beers on the desk then left again,

"Thank god. I'm starving" she got up from my lap and opened the box and started to eat.

Thankfully, Tatum ate a lot then went to shower, coming back out with just her underwear and my shirt on, leaving my mind to wonder to a lot of things.

I was already under the covers as Tatum climbed under to join me. She laid on top of my and wrapped her arms around my waist. My hands settled on her back as I rubbed small circles,

"Sorry for not texting you and stuff" she mumbled,

"Don't even worry about it. I'm just glad you're okay" I kissed her head, "But, call me next time. I'll do what I can to help you"

"I will. I promise" she smiled and sat up, straddling my legs. She moved on my lap, making me groan- which made her smirk and lay back on me,

"You can't be moving like that" I laughed,

"Gotcha" she yawned into my neck, "Can we sleep. I'm sleepy"

"Yeah we can sleep" I laughed as she rolled off of me.

I lifted my arm so she could curl into my side. She rolled into me and put a leg between mine. Her arms wrapped around my torso and she rested her head on my chest. This position won't last long though because she's restless- much like I am.

"You good?" I whispered. She nodded and squeezed me.

"Goodnight Ash" Tatum whispered and kissed my chest,

"Goodnight. Wake me up if you need anything" I kissed her head and let her fall asleep.

< morning >

{ Tatum }

I removed Ashton's arms from around me and stood from my bed, my naked body shaking a little. Ashton and I had woken up in a very loving mood at 2 am and ended up having sex.

I reached down and grabbed my clothes from the floor, stopping and turning when I heard a groan behind me,

"Baby" Ashton whined as he stretched out, back muscles flexing making me want to jump him, "Where you going?"

"Make breakfast" I smiled and walked over to my dresser.  I got dressed and walked back to my bed. Ashton was laying on his back now and red marks littered his chest and collarbone,

"I got ya good" I smirked and ran my finger over a couple,

"I got you better" Ashton winked and touched his hand to my neck,

"Put some clothes on if you want to eat before we leave" I rolled my eyes.

The two of us made it downstairs but instantly regretted the decision to walk in the kitchen where we were met with four smirks,

"Shut up" I mumbled. Ashton just laughed behind me and hugged me from behind as I made us breakfast.

****

We made it to the airport early and waited at our terminal. I was nervous again but Ashton kept assuring me everything would be okay.

After an hour, the plane was cleaned and the lady came over to intercom,

"Flight to Honolulu now boarding"

Ashton stood before me and gave my hand a squeeze before pulling me up too,

"Let's go put some people in jail"
