The girl all the bad guys want // EDITING //

~Calum's p.o.v~
I couldn't even believe that Missi was gone. It scared me so much to even think about life without her. I cried into Drey's shoulder, completely soaking her shirt. I didn't want to be selfish and forget that not only had I lost someone but Drey had lost her best friend too. We all had to get through this together.

"I'm so sorry Cal." Ash said as he walked up to us and patted me on the back. We didn't say anything for about 10 minutes and just stood there all of us with tears in our eyes.

"Thanks for coming guys. I don't know how i'd manage without you here." I said, slowing down my cries.

"What is the baby called?" Drey asked quietly, wiping her eyes.

"I don't know. We haven't named him." I smiled a little through my tears.

"Well its okay. Is there any names that Missi suggested?" She asked.

"She did mention the name Joseph. After her brother who died from Cancer 4 years ago."

"Okay then. Joseph it is." She hugged me again and I smiled into her shoulder.

"Yeah. Joseph. I like that."

We had to wait for a few hours before we could bring Joseph home. But the guys and Drey stayed with me the whole time. We all went back to my house in two different cars. Me holding Joseph in his baby carrier the whole time. Drey carried him when we got out of the car because I didn't trust myself with how tired I was. I din't want to hurt Joseph. I'd only just brought him home.

Ash and Luke stayed the night but Michael and Drey had booked a hotel somewhere nearby. It was good to have them so close again, to help me through all this.

~Michael~
I felt so bad for Calum. I couldn't believe Missi had gone either. It all happened so fast, we didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. Calum loved her and to see him like this was heartbreaking. Once me and Drey had gotten to the hotel, She burst in to tears.

I cuddled her close and nuzzled her cheek with my nose.

"Its okay. shh." I hushed her as I kissed her forehead gently.

"Thank you." she whispered.

We got changed and got into bed. I rested my arm loosely over her waist as we drifted off to sleep.

~Drey's p.o.v~
When we woke up, It finally hit me. Missi was gone forever and her funeral was going to be soon. I sat up on the edge of the bed, looking at the ground.

"Hm?" I heard Michael mumble tiredly from beside me.

"Hey, sorry to wake you." I said with a small smile.

"No its fine. What's wrong sugar?" He rubbed his eyes and sat up, running his fingers through his blue hair.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I just... I miss her." I whispered.

He sighed and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Me too but she's gone now. She's in a better place. Missi wouldn't want you to live your life full of regret. She'd want you to move on and celebrate the start of a new life, Joseph's life."

I nodded, my eyes watering slightly as I gave Michael a long hug.

We decided to go back to Calum's the next day to be there for him if he felt depressed or alone. Ash, Luke and Michael went out to get some groceries so it was just me , Calum and Joseph.

"Cal... I just wanted to say that I'm here whenever you need me, we all are." I said quietly.

I held his hand and gently brushed my thumb over it, calming him a little.

"I know Drey. Thank you." He whispered as Joseph started to cry.

I ran up the stairs into his bedroom and picked him up out of his baby cot. I took him downstairs cradling him and rocking him slowly.

"Thank you for doing this Drey. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you. I'm glad you came back."

"Well I'll probably quit my job back home and look for one closer to here. I'm gonna move back here I think." I said as I sat down on the couch next to Calum.

"You dont have to do that." He smiled. "I'll manage. besides, I've got Ash, Luke and Sam."

"Sam? as in sam from high school?" Calum nodded.

"Yeah we're friends now."

I was glad to hear that Calum had a lot of people around to support him but I still wasn't sure about leaving. I made my decision and I was moving back here without a doubt. He needed me and I needed to stay with him. Now more than ever.
