"Thank you for coming." He said and I nodded.

"Well, there's only so many times you can ignore someone's pleas to get me here." I said and he chuckled.

"I know what I did was wrong." He said and I just looked away. I was sick of hearing his excuses.

"I don't want to hear how they've put in a class that's helped you see what you did wrong, you've seen the light and I don't care how many times you say 'It wasn't me.' We saw you, when me and mum walked in we saw what you did. You where lying next to his body, both of you full of blood. Mum's an alcoholic now, she doesn't even remember me. Did you also know she lives on the streets, while you're here, getting things paid for you, a warm bed, having warm food, she's out there, eating food from the bins and sleeping in a box.. You did this to her by killing her baby." I said and he just glared at me. "And it's the last time I come here. Don't bother trying to contact me again."

I went to the door, considering someone knocked, I opened it to see Ashton. I let him in and then went to sit back at the couch. I gave the rabbit to Kira because she grew a real connection with the rabbit. Zach won't mind.

"What's up?" He asked. He looked around the house and smiled.

"What are you doing back in England?" I asked.

"You want the truth?" He asked and I nodded. "I came back for you."

"You came back, with another girl to win me back? Wow, if that doesn't shout romance I don't know what will." I said and he just looked away.

"When I saw you at the concert, I knew I had to get you back. Look at you, you're even more beautiful." He said and I nodded. I held up my hand.

"I'm engaged."

"To that tool?" He said. I was a little confused.

"Tool?" I chuckled. "You don't even know him?"

"I know.. " He said and rubbed the back of his neck. "I-It sounded a lot better in my head."

"Maybe you should've kept it there." I said and he nodded. "What are you here for?"

"Where is he?"

"What?" I asked. The hell is going on? "Who?"

"Your man?" He asked and I told him how he was in the war and he was gone for a little while. That's when the tears started again and he held me until I stopped.

-

"How's your mum and dad? Oh, and your brother?" He asked and my heart stopped. Taylor and Zach where the only ones to know what has happened to me. Do you know how difficult it is to open up to someone about your past? But this isn't just some 'person' he's Ashton Irwin. He was my first love, first heartbreak, the first person to be a total dick to me.

"Kayleigh?" He said with a smile on his cute little face. I mumbled a quick yes and he asked me the same question. Again it was hard for me to find the words to tell him that my family fucked up after we got home. Still yet, we don't know why Harry was struggling to breathe and had blue-ish hands, still yet we don't know why my dad had killed my baby brother, or why my mum turned to alcohol when she could of turned to me. Oh, wait! I know why, because I was too busy crying over that fucking, stupid, idiot Ashton!

"Kay, you're crying." He said and went to hug me. I pushed him away.

"You need to leave, you shouldn't be here." I said and he just stared at me. "GET OUT!!!!" I yelled and he stood up. My body slowly fell to the ground in tears. It was my fault. I made them go to Australia, I made them fight at night, I didn't stop them because I was too busy crying, being stupid over the things that didn't even mean that much. It was stupid. I was stupid. They argued all night, I sat at the top of the stairs with Harry in my arms. Oh, how I would love to have Harry in my arms again. He cute little giggle, his obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine, his little curls, the way he wanted to be cuddled when he was sleeping.

I found myself in Ashton's arms when I broke out of my thought. He was stroking my hairs and rocking back and fourth, he was telling me everything was going to be ok. People can't say that, they can't tell you everything will be ok, when you've lost everyone that was close to you. You wouldn't be fine if you had to sit and watch your mum slowly drink herself to death, a little boy that didn't understand why he was being naughty, or why he couldn't read or write, why he was different(No matter how many times you tell him that being different is a good thing, because he didn't believe me.) What hurt the most was seeing what my dad did to himself and my brother. HE COULDN'T JUST LEAVE THAT POOR BOY ALONE, HE HAD TO GO AND HURT HIM MORE!

"Kayleigh, why are you so distant?" He said and I got up and sat next to him. "Please, talk to me."

"You want to know everything?" I asked and he nodded. Then I began with when we got home.

a:n/ The next chapter will be in the past, when they got home and what actually happened and stuff. This is just incase you get confused.
