*This is a text scene up until Cailea's POV*

Ash: Hey babe. What're you doing later?

Me: Ashton, we've been over this. You can't call me babe. I have a boyfriend.

Ash: Ya but he's a dumbass 😒

Me: Shut up. Jaxon is great.

Me: I'm not busy later why?

Ash: Alright babe. I'll be there in 10.

Ash:Bring ur bathing suit and your overnight bag.

Me: Wait Ashton what? Where are we going?

Ash: That's for me to know and you to find out.

Ash: OMW. Be ready

Me: Ashton hold on I have to shower and stuff.

Ash: I'll wait for you. Are your parents home?

Me: No they're in Ontario or something.. But Cal is. He's coming right?

Ash: Well obviously. He's my best friend too.

Cailea's POV
I throw my phone on my bed and plug in my charger and rush into my bathroom to have my shower.

After letting the water heat up to a comfortable temperature, I step in and let the water wash over me. I begin to work the water all into my hair before I pour the pink, strawberry smelling shampoo into the palm of my hand and lather it into the roots of my hair, working my way down. I quickly rinse it out and soon apply conditioner. I do my usual shower routine which consists of washing my body, shaving and then rinsing my hair out again.

I take a step out of the shower; drying my feet on the mat on the way out and I grab the two towels sitting on the tall wooden shelf to my left and wrap one around my chest, and the other around my hair.

I walk into my closet and take the towel off of my body exposing my body to the cool air around me. I rummage through my dresser and grab the first pair of jean shorts I could find and Jaxon's old Nirvana t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. I take the towel off of my head and toss it into the basket to my right, brushing my hair right after. After putting on my outfit, and getting my hair somewhat situated, I spray some orange splash body spray all over my body, and slide my sandals onto my feet and grab a duffle bag to start packing my things. I don't know how long we're going for -wherever we're going- but I bring clothes for two days just in case. I pack my toothbrush, hair brush, makeup pack, bathing suit, and my phone charger and go downstairs to find Ashton and Calum on my couch.

"Let's go," I say

"Woah babe what's the rush?" Ashton says recieving an angry glare from Calum. I honestly want to run at him and smack him sometimes. But instead, I stay in my place and my cheeks turn into a deep shade of red. I walk down the hall and out the door to Ashton's truck. I toss my duffle bag in the back before walking over to the front and pull open the creaky door to the passenger's seat and plop myself in the middle, taking my phone out and playing the Sims to pass the time.

Shortly after, Calum and Ashton come outside pushing and shoving eachother joking-ly, causing Cal to fall off the porch. I couldn't help but laugh at my brother lying on the ground but then Ashton gets a worried look on his face as he looks at me. He jumps down landing gracefully on his feet beside Calum lying crippled on the ground with his bag and a broken flower pot laying beside him.

"Cailea! Come here! Quick!!!" Ashton yells. I push the door open and run toward my motionless brother and Ashton.

"Oh my god." I say with a mixture of fear and confusion.

"Help me get him into the truck. On three" I nod. "One. Two-" "Three" We both say. I have his feet and Ashton is carrying him with his wrists under Cal's arms. I set Calum's feet down and open the door and climb in first. Ashton put's him in head first and I pull him in the rest of the way. When he's sure Cal's all the way in, he slams the door and rushes to the drivers seat starting up the engine. I sit my brother upright and buckle his seatbelt. I look to see where he might've gotten hurt and then I see his right leg and arm.

"Uh- Ashton. You need to get to the hospital and seriously step on it. He's bleeding from his side and he has a huge peice of glass in his hand." He must've fell on the flower pot or something.

"Fuck! Check for a pulse or something" he says back.

"Ashton I don't thi-

"CHECK FOR A PULSE DAMMIT!" He yells cutting me off. I check his neck then his wrist and I feel one but it's not as strong as mine when I check, which didn't seem too good. Ashton speeds up when I don't say anything and start sobbing.
