Luke got up and left after telling me I could make myself at home. I grabbed the remote and tried to drown out my worries and fears with mindless television. It didn't help. I became lost in my own thoughts.

Thoughts of the dead bodies of my friends. Thoughts of how this is my fault. Thoughts of how I am being hunted by a possessed Michael. Thoughts of my family being hurt because I was dumb enough to stick around even after I knew what was going on. I knew then what I needed to do. I had to get away from everyone. They were safer if I just left. My half angel self was saying that I should stay. That I needed to protect my family.

I could hear the door slam open but it was drowned out by my thoughts. My ever haunting thoughts. They are like my own demons.

“Elizabeth!” Luke yelled at me while shaking me. He must’ve been shaking me for a while because he had a worried expression on his face. Ashton sat down beside me. I looked over at him and gasped. He had still forming bruises on his face and a quickly swelling black eye. He had a cut on the left side of his top lip.

“It’s okay, Elizabeth. I’m fine. He just got a few good punches before Luke got there. Calum was trying to exorcise the demon. And then Michael hit Luke. But we got away.” I looked over at Luke who had a good sized bruise on his cheek.

“I told you to be careful. You are the most hurt! You act like it’s no big deal!” I jumped up out of my spot and continued to yell at him. “You could’ve been killed. Why didn’t you come with? Why didn’t you just leave?” I walked around the room with an angry stomp. I didn’t mean to take out my dark feelings on him, it just happened.

“Calm down, it will be okay. Michael fled after Luke got there. We’re okay. Nothing happened.” Ashton stood up and grabbed my arm as I walked past. He pulled me to him so we were chest to chest.

“Something did happen! Have you seen your face? It’s all bruised and cut,” Ashton was trying to silence me but I was not having it. “And where is Calum? You guys are seriously sick. ‘Nothing happened.’” I tried to pull away from him but his strong arms held me there. I glared while he smirked.

“You are such a worrywort, Beth. Calum’s okay. He’s finishing what he was doing before. And seriously, I am fine! It barely hurts. Trust me.” I sighed and shrugged my shoulders.

“Yeah, I guess.” I crossed my arms as Ashton’s demeanor grew serious.

“Beth, I need to tell you something.” Ashton tilted my head up so I had to look him in the eye.

“Luke knows this and he is the only one. I wanted to let you know this too so that we aren’t keeping things from each other.” Ashton gulped and looked to Luke who ushered him to go on.

“Ash, what is it?” I questioned with tears still streaming down my face from frustration.

“Sweetie, I’m not exactly normal, I guess you could say.” Ashton shyly looked away. I raised one eyebrow at him, waiting for him to go on.

“Elizabeth, I am a telepathic. I can move things with my mind.” Ashton looked me straight in the eye. His eyes glossed back and forth between my own. I held his gaze.

“Well, glad you finally told someone else. Now I can talk about it with someone other than you.” Luke teased. I rolled my eyes dramatically. Out of nowhere, a quaint daisy flew into my face.

“For you, Elizabeth.” Ashton smiled at me as I plucked the flower delicately out of the air.

“Thank you, Ash.” I smiled, dumbfounded at the fact that he has powers. I glanced at Luke who was making disgusted faces. I giggled and stuck my tongue out at him. Ashton leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. It was a sweet kiss. My stomach sank when I didn’t feel anything in the kiss. We pulled away after Luke tried squeezing in between us.

“Get a room, guys! Preferably not one in my house.” Luke groaned as Ashton and I sat on either side of Luke. Calum burst through the front door with the duffel bag slung over his shoulder.

“Hi guys,” Calum greeted as he set the duffel bag down. “What are you guys doing?” Calum lingered just inside the door.

“Just chillin’.” Luke responded and got up from his seat which prompted Ashton to move close to me and lay his head on my lap. Luke gestured for Calum to follow him. They left into the kitchen. I moved my hands to play with his shaggy blonde hair.

“You’re hair is so curly, Ash.” I told him as I played with a strand from the top of his head.

“Well no shit sherlock. Try having to live with it. Pain in the ass it is.” Ashton explained while closing his eyes. By now, I was massaging my scalp. Calum and Luke came back in and frowned..

“You two are taking up the whole couch!” Calum play--scolded as he came closer. Ashton didn’t make an effort to move so Calum sat down on his stomach.

“Ow, bro, watch out. My surgery, remember?” Calum groaned and hopped off of Ashton.

“Can you at least move your legs so I can sit, asswipe.” Ashton rolled his eyes at Calum and sat up. Luke came and sat down beside him. Turning on the TV that I had earlier turned off. We all sat there mindlessly watching the TV, not caring.

I could feel someone’s warm breath on my neck. I payed no attention to it until a wicked voice spoke from behind me.
“Hello, angel.”
