Kylie Kidd

"Calum stop messing around you ass!" I yell at Calum who's chasing me around our apartment.

"You're such a party pooper Kylie." Calum jumped onto the couch.

I sat down next to him and he put his arm around me pulling me closer to him. I sigh as I snuggle into his chest, breathing in his cologne.

"What's wrong?" He asks me. I pull away and shrug. I could feel the tears building up in my eyes threatening to spill.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. Talk to me, tell me what's wrong." He asks standing up and pulling me up with him. He picks me up bridal style and carries me to my bedroom. He lays me down on the bed and covers me up with the comforter, before laying down next to me.

We just lay there hugging him before I'm able to talk.

"I just, I miss h-him so much Calum, it hurts." I stutter out, now crying into his shirt.

"I know, I know, I do too. Shhhh... Calm down it's okay." He whispers while running his hand through my hair, knowing it will calm me down.

We just stayed like that until we fell asleep.

//dream//

"Kylie," I hear someone call out to me.

"What do you want from me? Who are you? Please just leave me be!" I scream back.

It was dark and I couldn't see anything. I felt water rising quickly. The more I tried to run and escape, but i couldn't, the water slowed me down and wouldn't stop rising.

"You let me go. You should have saved me Kylie. It's your fault. And now you have to pay." He replies in a husky tone.

"No! Please! It wasn't my fault!" I yell out, now sobbing.

//reality//

"Kylie! Kylie wake up! It's just a dream. You're okay, you're safe." I hear Calum say while shaking me awake, he holds me.

"He was there Calum. He said it was my fault and that- that I needed to pay for it." I breathed out, tears running down my face as Calum wiped them away.

"Ky, Michael's death wasn't your fault. He was the one who got drunk and went into the water. It is not your fault okay? I want you to get that out of your head. Please, can you do that for me?" Calum embraces me in warm hug.

I just nodded and lied back down.

//flashback//

"Hey everyone! Lets go swimming!" Michael slurred and he took of his shirt and skinny jeans off.

He ran over to the edge of the pier and looked over. I chased after him undressing as I ran, knowing he can't swim.

"Michael, stop! You can't swim remember!" I said while hopping to take off my boots.

"Pshhh, whatever babe," He yelled before jumping down into the water.

"No!" I yell and jump in after him. I look around for him but I couldn't find him.

I swam back up for air quickly before going back down to look for him again.

I see him slowly hitting the bottom of the ocean floor. I swam after him. Once I get to him I notice he has a gash in his forehead above his eye. I start to panic. I put my arms under his in an attempt to pull him up but he was too heavy, or maybe I was just too weak.

I start getting dizzy before I hear others jumping in the water. Everything went black after that.

I woke up coughing and there were lips on mine blowing air into my mouth. I push them away and open my eyes. I started coughing up water as I see it was a stranger in uniform who had their lips on mine.

I wipe my mouth before speaking.

"Where's Michael?" I ask before looking around seeing paramedics running to the pier. What the hell happened?

I get up and start running to where the paramedics are going.

"Kylie no!" Luke calls after me, but I ignore him. I keep running. I see them putting Michael onto a stretcher before covering him up.

"Time of death, approximately 2:27 am." I hear a man say, looking down at his watch and then over to a lady writing what he just said down.

My breath hitched in my throat as I hear what he just said. Someone grabbed my wrist turning me around before embracing me in a hug. I could tell it was Luke. He was quietly crying and so was I. I wrapped my arms around his waist.

What that man said, it couldn't be true. Michael can't be dead. He just can't.

"I'm so sorry Kylie we tried to save him but by the time we got both of you up, he was already-" Luke said drifting off not wanting to say it.

Tell me this is just a dream. I pinched myself trying to wake myself up. It didn't work.

I fell into the sand and put my head in my hands crying. I don't like crying in front of anyone, especially Luke. He sat down next to me and then Calum in front of me and Ashton on the other side of me.

We all sat there in silence, except for our heavy breathing and sobs.
