TW// TALK OF S*LF H*RM, BLOOD, HOSPITALS

-Calum-

Our phones buzzed, it was a text from Ashton.

Ash: Ava is staying in the hospital, she going to the psych ward for a week.

"Oh my god." I say to myself. I get up from the sidewalk and start walking to the doors. "Oh no you don't." Luke tackles me to the ground. I push him off and he regains his stamina and tackles me again. "Luke get the fuck off." we continued to wrestle "I need to talk to her..."I broke down in Luke's arms. "Please..." I sob. Luke looks at Kat and Maya who watched the altercation. "Fine. If she says she doesn't want to see you then you're gone." Maya said as she called Ashton. I wiped my tears away with my hands and got up to dust off the dirt.

"You're lucky...she said yes." Maya rolls her eyes at me, I ran through the doors and to the elevator. I jammed the buttons to get the elevator moving. The doors opened to her floor, I moved around everyone going so slow. I made it to the door to her room, I knock softly on the door. Michael opens the door and lets me in, there she was in a hospital gown and bandaged up. My heart broke even more "Mikey, Ash can you give me and Calum a minute?" Ava croaks, Michael bumps my shoulder as he walks past, Ashton gave me a hard pat on the back.

"Baby I am so sorry...you have no idea how sorry I am." I start cry. Ava looks at my shirt and arms stained with her blood. "Is that from me?" she points at me. I sit on the edge of her bed, I take her small hands in mine. I kiss her hands and take in her scent. "Yes. I holding you when you got to hospital. You were screaming that I didn't love or want you and that you didn't want to be here anymore. Oh babygirl I am so sorry...I was drunk...I don't deserve you." I cried into her hands. Ava wipes away my tears, "Calum why did you do it?" she asks. "I don't know, Ava baby I was stupid and drunk...please give me another chance."I plead. Ava retracts her hands and back away from me.

"Calum I can't just forgive you for cheating...you know about my past and cheating...you triggered an episode...I think I'm the stupid one because I still really fucking love you." Ava sighed out. I stand up and walk to her, I held her warm face in my hands. "You still love me?" I say with hope. She nods "Of course Calum, you're the love of my life." Ava kissed my hand.

"I'm going to the psych ward for week to get help...Calum please tell me why she was there?" Ava asked. "She showed up with my friends. I didn't invite her. I swear on my life." I assured her. Ava nods and looks away from me. "I swear she drugged me or something but I didn't intend for this mess to happen. I am just a drunken idiot who let the drinks get the best of me. Please Ava...please still be mine?" I get on my knees and hug her legs close to my chest. "Oh Cal, I want to be so bad but I need time to heal." Ava plays with my hair. "I understand...just know I am your biggest supporter while you're here getting better." I said ad I stood up and give her a kiss on her cheek. "I know...when I woke up I was hoping you would be here." Ava whispers. "I knew it." I laugh a little.

A knock came from the door, her doctor enters "Miss Cisneros, we are ready to take you to your new room." Ava kisses my cheek before walking out the room with her doctor. I watch her disappear down the hall. Ashton and Michael walk in "We need to get her things and bring them back to her apartment." Michael said as he picked up the balloons. I found a blue bag in the corner I look inside and found her bloody clothes. "They said we can take them or they can burn them." Ashton said from behind me. I open the bag again I recognized the hoodie she wore. It was my green empathy hoodie. "We're taking them." I close up the bag and follow Ashton and Michael out the room.

When we got to the ground floor of hospital Kat and Maya had their car pulled out front. I climbed in the backseat with Ashton and Michael, we drove off and I watched the hospital get smaller by the second. "Did you apologize?" Kat asked me, "Of course I did..."I looked out the window and saw vans following us. "I wonder what story they are going to make out of this." Michael said as he noticed paparazzi following us. "Luke is already back at the apartment to help clean up." Maya mumbles.

We entered the apartment property so the paparazzi had to turn around and go away. I grabbed the bag of clothes and follow the girls inside the apartment. "These are her clothes." I handed Kat the bag and she dumped the clothes into the washer. "Let's hope the blood comes out." She pours in the soap then starts the wash.

I walk out into the living room and saw the bottles all over the floor, Luke was cleaning up the sticky blood on the floor. "We have to rid the apartment of any alcohol and anything Ava can hurt herself with." Maya said as she opened the liquor cabinet which was mostly empty. "Hey Maya, I think you need to get a carpet cleaner because the blood isn't coming out." Luke gave up scrubbing. "Thank you, Luke." Maya ties up the garbage bag of glass. I picked up more bottles and found a couple of razor blades. "God this place is just a biohazard." Kat exclaims when she saw me holding the blades before putting them in the bag.

I start to sob uncontrollably, I fall to my knees Kat kneels next to me and rubs my back. "I'm so sorry guys...this my fault...I have to go." I stand up and tried to walk out. Kat pulls me back. "Calum...we know...stay and help us, we still love you." Maya sighs and embraces me. Kat joins in on the hug followed by Luke, Ashton, and Michael. "We need to be strong for Ava. Like Luke said fighting isn't going to make Ava feel better or make anyone feel better." Maya added. We broke the hug and went to cleaning tidying up the apartment. "I'll order us dinner." Michael said as he opened his phone, "What did she say to you?" Kat asks sitting down next to me on the ground.

"I told her how sorry I am and how stupid I was, then she saw the blood all over me and asked who is it was from. broke the news to her about that. She told she still loves me and needs time to forgive me...I told her that I am her biggest supporter for her getting better." I explained to everyone. "Calum I love you but you stink." Kat jokes trying lighten the mood. I chuckled and agreed with her. "Yeah man you do." Ashton projects. "I get it! I know I have clothes here...do you guys mind if I shower here?" I look to Maya. "Yeah just use Ava's bathroom." Maya opens the closet in the hall and hands me a towel.
