Luke Hemmings/ Ashton Irwin

Birthday suprise/ discover

Ashton's POV

Nicole seemed sad, sadder than I've seen her at any time.

I felt horrible that Eva hasn't wanted to do anything.

Since her birthday was coming up, I wanted to call my manager to see if I could go home early.

I picked up the phone and dialed (586-333-1000) *A/N~A-Ashton J-Julie*

A-Hey Julie I was wondering if I could maybe go home earlier

J-What about the show in Denver

A-Someone can cover for me?

J-I guess so but only for a few months

A-Alright Julie Thanks

And I hung up the phone

I decided to Skype Nicole and see how she was, then I would have to pack.

Skype Secession-

Hi Nicole

N-Hey, she sighed

What's wrong

N-No..nothing, she stuttered

Are you sure?

N-Yeah, positive

Okay, we'll I have to go get ready with the boys I love you

N-I love you too Ash, her eyes forming tears.

I grabbed my suitcase from the closet and packed all my belongings.

"Hey guys ill be back soon, good luck"

The cab drove me to the airport and I gave them my ticket and sat down.

"Flight 729 boarding"

I walked over to the entrance of the plane and walked Down the isle smiling knowing I would see Nicole and Eva soon.

--------Skip Plane Ride--------

I stood outside the front door and knocked.

When Nicole answered the door she collapsed in my arms and started to cry.

N-Oh my gosh Ashton I missed you so f*cking much

I picked her up and walked in the house setting her on the couch as Eva ran up to me.

"Hi Eva!! I missed you!"

I missed you too daddy, I wuv you so much.

"I love you too Eva"

It was 8 o'clock at night, I was tired from the plane flight so I brought Eva upstairs and tucked her in.

Nicole walked upstairs shortly after heading into the bathroom.

I laid down and a few minutes later Nicole came out and slipped under the covers next to me.

"I missed you"

I missed you too, she giggled

I pulled her closer and my heart sank when I noticed scars on her wrist.

"Ni..Nicole what are those" tears building in my eyes.

She gasped quietly and said nothing I probably scratched myself.

Crying now I said "Nicole let me see"

"No it's okay"

"Nicole!"

She gave me her wrist and started to cry.

"Why"

"I couldn't deal with being alone, it was horrible. I'm sorry Ashton I was so messed up when you left"

I sat her in my lap and she rested her head on my shoulder still crying.

"Shhh it's okay, I'm back now"

After a few minutes she fell asleep
