he woke up. he woke up. he woke up.

i've never been happier in my life.

michael, calum and i all walk in together to see him sitting up, looking dazed and confused. he looks at us, his eyes wide. i run over and hug him tightly.

but he doesn't move.

he waits until i let go, then stays silent. he looks out in distress at michael.

"ash?" i ask carefully, reaching my hand out to his shoulder. he flinches away.

"don't touch me. i don't want to see you," he says weakly, tears forming in his eyes.

"w-what? why?"

"just leave me alone," he pleads. the tears start falling and he makes no move to wipe them away. i look over at michael in question. he looks back at me sadly. "i only want to see michael," ashton whispers.

i hear calum swallow, hurt by ashton's words. he takes my hand and pulls me out of the room.

"go home, luke," he tells me.

"what is going on? i just want to see him and make everything right ag-"

"luke, please go home. ashton can't see you right now. go home and take a shower. i'll call you."

without another word, i leave.
