Miss Rebecca Alan is a Historical teacher
If she found out about your home life she'd shut you down. You're like h...
It's been a week since the incident and I'm fully healed. The doctors said that I'd be able to go home today, which is why I'm packing my bags. The police did visit me yesterday and asked if I'd like to go to court against my mother. And for obvious reasons I agreed, so did Cal.
Rebecca helps me pack as Tom and Calum are going to sort my room out.
"Bec?" I say. She looks at me. The ring around her eyes shines under the light and her pupils dilate as her gaze reflects on me. "Yeah?" She responds.
"At school, what's going to happen? Like students? And As-Ashton's position...Lila's locker?" A gentle hand is placed on my back. She could hear the pain vibrating through my voice. I don't want to think that they can just replace Ash and give away Lila's locker. It hurts to much to think about.
"Darling, I don't know at this moment in time. The school has been shut ever since" she wraps me into a hug. It's going to be okay. Now I have Rebecca, hoped I'll be okay.
Cal comes to pick us up and he takes my bags. Rebecca helps me walk through the hospital until we reach the exit. I signed the discharge papers and was ready to get my life back on track.
Ahahahahaha!!!
My life was never on track!!
I guess I prefer off-roading?
Anyways, I get into the car and take in the scene of my surroundings. "Cal? Your car smells of too much aftershave!! I'm going to choke on it!" I squeal, holding my nose and mouth slightly. He chuckles.
Cal had taken Tom home because starting Monday, today is Saturday, we are reopening the school, so his mother wanted him home.
We reach the apartment block and I get out of the car, Calum quickly grabs my bag and wraps and arm around my shoulder. Rebecca walks beside me on her phone. "Home sweet home" Calum states smiling at me. I chuckle at him.
We walk through the building and see a new neighbour, I shrug and know I'll ask Calum about it later.
Calum opens the door to the apartment and I walk in, it's quiet and cold. I shiver slightly. "I'll turn the heating on don't worry" Calum states. I take my bag and go to my room. I watch as Rebecca plops on the sofa. Chuckling to myself I walk down the hall to my room. However I come to an abrupt pause when I'm stood outside Ashtons room.
The door is closed, no noise reminiscing around. I slowly push the door open as no creak is to be head. The room is dark. It's untouched since the last time Ashton got ready. I slowly enter unknown to the tears that trickle down my face at a pace I'm unable to stop.
To my left I see the door to his bathroom, and a painting of a sunset. Ashton loved sunsets. That's why he usually went on a run with Calum as the sun rose and set. He was an amazing guy. I look to my right as I stand at the door to see his large mirror. Around the mirror are little notes. I choke on my sob but chuckle at his unique state. I never really checked out Ashtons room.
I walk over to the mirror and look at the post it's notes.
Chris' birthday Thursday! Don't forget to buy the polar bear teddy!

He had a doctors appointment? But on the same day he died...

I feel my heart break even more. There are so many things that Ashton Dennings didn't get to do.
I read more of his labels and look over at the paintings on the wall, more sunsets, there's a tiger and a lion. I walk past his bed and look at the nightstand. My heart skips a beat as I see 3 pictures. 1 is of him and Calum. The other is of me, Calum and himself. And the last one is of me, Adam and Ash.
I pick up the photo of me, Calum and Ash. I sit on the end of his bed staring on the photo. The bed dips as I sit, the comfy mattress could just take me now.

(Imagine Crystal is there)
A sob takes me by surprise as I finally break. "We looked so happy!" I sob. My tears are wipes with my sleeve on my hoodie and I look up at the ceiling trying to suppress my emotions. But I can't...
A shadow catches my eye and I turn to the door.

"I know Chris..." he quickly walks over to me and engulfed me in a hug. I look around the room. "He-he can't be gone...No...he- he- he-.... Calum...he can't- no! No!! Ashton!! He-he-" I begin to panic as tears forcefully travel down my face. Calum's hands grab my face. His eyes wide, full of concern and worry. "Chris! You're having a panic attack... remember. You used to have these a lot!"
A panic attack... I haven't had one in ages. I remember the routine me and Calum talked through every time I had one. Inhale and hold. So I do. I inhale and hold my breath. However I preferred to do something else. I likes to count.
As the panic travels through my veins, my shaky hands grab onto Calum's forearm. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10" I take a deep breath and let it go. "11..12..13..14...15...16...17...18...19...20" I inhale and let it go. "That's good okay good" Calum hypes. "21...22...23...24...25...26...27...28...29...30" I inhale and let it go.
I open my eyes to see the sky-blue rings staring at me. His eyes, they seem full of honour and achievement. He pulls me into a hug and my head rests on his shoulder. His hand strokes my hair and I practiced my breathing...
"Can we just like tidy up his clothes a bit... I wanna make it seem like home. Like he still likes here..." I say. Calum say nods. I know it's hard for him to loose his best friend. I just lost mine, I don't know what I'm going to do...
