Maya's POV

I woke up in the car once we pulled up into the driveway.

" your home pretty girl" Luke said opening the door to the car and helping me out. I looked to see a beautiful large house It was white with blue window covers and flowers outside. It was much better than where I was staying before and the neighborhood was much safer at night.

" Woah" I spoke out loud causing the boys to laugh we walked inside putting our stuff down. They gave me a tour of the house showing me everything

" And lastly your bedroom" Calum said giving jass hands by the door. I walked into a gray painted room it had vines on the wall a queen-sized bed, tv, bathroom, and small closet. I started to crying. Causing all the boys to go into panic mode

" what's wrong we can change it if you don't like it!" Ash said

" it's perfect,"  I said tears still streaming down my face

" then why are you crying, pretty girl?" Luke asked

" it's just I'm so thankful for you and everything you've done for me I love you guys so much," I said honestly they brought me into a big hug saying " I love you" back

" come on I think everyone needs to get some sleep tonight," Micheal said exiting the room the others following. I starred at the room for a bit before shutting off the light and heading to bed myself.

The next morning

Loud talking came from the kitchen as I was slowly waking up. I wasn't feeling great but I figured it was just from the medicines yesterday. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen and exchanging good mornings before pulling up the bar stool on the island and sitting down. Ash was making breakfast, I watched feeling cold. Calum noticed and slipped a hoodie on my head over my tee shirt.

" Thanks," I said to him as he kissed my forehead. Ash handed us each plate standing across from us on the island eating as well. I wasn't feeling particularly hungry , so I only ate a few bites.

" you have to eat a little more than that please Maya," Ash said looking at me getting the attention of the boys. I picked up my fork and ate a bit more I stopped quickly and ran into the bathroom before getting sick. Luke rushed to my side with the other boys outside the door. A few minutes later I walked back into the kitchen sitting back into my seat as Calum got me some water.

" Are you feeling okay?" Luke asked me

" no, I don't feel good," I said in return lying my head on his shoulder making him rub my back

" can you give us some symptoms?" Micheal asked me

" I don't know I feel nauseous, tired, cold my body kinda hurts too," I said looking at them

" her hands are shaking," Calum said looking at my hand with the cup of water he just handed me they all exchanged eye contact at the same time making me worry

" what's wrong?" I asked Luke

" you know the needle James gave to sleep?" I nodded not wanting to remember what happened during that time

" It was a drug and since he gave it to you for such a long time your body has become dependant on it"

" what does that mean," I asked them getting scared

" your body was used to having it and now that it's gone it's having a hard time adjusting back because it was essentially addicted to it," Luke spoke

" But it's going to be totally fine we will take care of you here and you'll be back to normal in no time," Ash spoke rubbing my arm

" Michele and Ash can you run to the store and get some gaderade, power bars, and anything else that might help," Calum asked

" come on let's get you comfy on the couch with a movie," Luke said leading me to the living room

Luke's POV
Calum and I put on a movie and got her comfortable trying to distract her from her symptoms. It didn't take long for her to go into full withdrawal symptoms she was shaking like crazy, crying, and panicking. We were trying to calm her down with lots of hugs but it just wasn't working. Me and Calum exchanged glances needing Ashton and Micheal to come back immediately. Figuring we needed to get the situation under control now I took manners into my own hands.

" Maya look at me" she picked her up from under Calums chest and looked at me her eyes bloodshot and breathing staggered.

" Ok, we are going to take a few deep breaths ready in from your nose out from your mouth" she closed her eyes doing what I said breathing deep a few times. Her crying calmed a bit literally making me want to jump for joy.

" Good! you did so good pretty girl!" I praised her

" We know it's scary and emotional right now but it's very important we stay calm okay?" Calum spoke to her kissing the top of her head.

"we're back!" Micheal called walking into the kitchen with Ashton close behind.

" do you think she needs a relaxer?" Ashton whispered to me not wanting to alert Maya

" I just calmed her down a bit so we should be okay for a while I don't wanna make her more tired than she already is" causing Ashton to agree

" you have to promise me that you will drink a lot," Michele told her

" I'll drink a lot" she spoke immediately I handed her a blue gaderade she struggled to the cap off with her shaking hands making her very frustrated. Her emotions were all over the place due to her not having the drug. Calum took the cap off quickly not wanting it to get out of control. Calum carried her back to the couch hoping she would fall asleep. We sat around her watching friends and looking back at her every few minutes. A half an hour later I looked back to see a passed out Maya cuddling with her blanket. I got the attention of the guys making us quietly stand up and celebrate high fiving each other and dancing around.
