they're only letting me see michael which is bullshit because i want to see calum and ashton. but they say i'm not stable and might have a panic attack or another breakdown. they said that michael calms me down. it's funny because michael used to piss me off and i hated him.
i'm glad i don't now.
he's been giving me updates about ashton, saying he's okay and will be out of the hospital soon. he hasn't mentioned if he wants to see me.
"luke?" i hear him say as he opens the door a crack. i nod for him to come in and he enters, sitting next to me on the bed. "hey."
"hey."
"i need to tell you something," he says warily, looking away.
"what is it?" i ask.
he sighs before saying the next few words. "ashton's going away."
"what are you talking about?"
"he's gonna be gone for a while. he wants me to come with him but i want to be here for you-"
"why is he leaving?" i interrupt.
"he's scared of you."
