Jordan smiles, "Welcome everyone! Welcome!"

Fredrick nudges Michael, "Excited to be here with you again."

Michael nods, feeling extremely uneasy today. Luke seemed very odd this morning but said him and Felix talked it out. It's just what happened to Calum is what scared him.

"Sit down everybody!"

Michael sits next to Fredrick, tapping his foot on the ground. He just can't find a comfortable state today.

"Michael, where's Calum and Ashton?

"Uh--" Michael starts, off before catching himself, "He had one of his weekly seizures and today his legs aren't cooperating so he's staying home. Also, Ashton's staying home to keep an eye on him."

Jordan frowns, "well, I hope he gets better soon. He's truly a joy here."

Michael nods. Awkward.

"Today we're going to----"

Michael nods to whatever the hell he said, just following the others. Focusing isn't on his mind today. It's only Luke's really iffy expression.

Ashton's p.o.v

"Do you need anything??"

"Yes Ash. You've asked this like fifty times." Calum giggles. He tugs the blanket next to him onto his cold body, looking over at the pretty blonde haired boy he truly adores.

"You sure?" Ashton asks hesitantly.

"Positive."

Ashton nods, cuddling onto Calum's side. He's never been so happy in his whole life. Calum's the only person he's ever met that made him feel so-- strange.

Before they both doze off, loud thumps and footsteps come down the stairs. This makes Calum and Ashton gulp.

Luke comes into the room with a large black bag. Yet it doesn't seem right to everyone else in the room due to a really lump looking figure inside.

"What's inside there?" Calum chokes. He glances over at his feet in case Luke gets mad.

"Just some trash I've been keeping in my room. Have to take it out."

Calum nods, letting Luke go outside. Once so, Calum and Ashton look at each other.

"Calum... Was that a---" Ashton says sharply. Calum nods, "I think so--"

"But who???"

Calum shakes his head, "I don't know. Maybe it isn't even a body. Maybe we're just overreacting."

"Maybe..."

"Maybe."
