Back to where we started

~Calum's p.o.v~

I still couldn't believe that Ashton would do this to me. Take away my own son. I know I shouldn't have shouted at Jo but it didn't give Ash the right to steal him. I sat down on the couch and wrapped my arms around Drey's petite body as we snuggled up watching some random chick flick she likes.

"Cal, are you okay? Do you wanna talk about something?" She asked as she looked up into my brown eyes with her hazel ones. I bit my lip. Yeah there was but I don't wanna drag Drey into this. I didn't tell her about Joseph leaving. I told her that he was staying with his mate for a few weeks but I don't think the lie will last much longer.

"I'm fine." I responded tilting the corner of my mouth into a sort of smile. She frowned at me but let it go thankfully. I didn't wanna talk about Joseph anymore. I was missing him so much already.

"We don't have to get married." She spoke suddenly.

"What? What do you mean?" I stuttered with wide eyes as we both sat up on the couch.

"Maybe its best to have some time apart when Jo comes back so you can bond without me in the picture." She explained. I couldn't believe she was saying this. I dont want to split up.

"Joseph's not coming back." I said glumly. "He's gone to live with Michael. He's happier there." Drey sighed and squeezed my hand tight.

"Maybe some time apart will do you good. He'll forgive you eventually. You're his father Cal. He loves you and so do I." She smiled and kissed my cheeks gently.

"God, what did I ever do to deserve you?" I kissed her lips softly and it was starting to get heated before my phone started to ring.

"What the actual fuck do you want. I'm kinda busy." I hissed, not really caring who it was which Drey scolded me for.

"Luke?"

"Hey cal, long time no see. I've got a problem."

~Luke's p.o.v~

I called Taylor's phone a million times but she wouldn't answer. It went straight to voicemail. She even went through the trouble of changing her voicemail to:

'Sorry, I cant answer my phone at the moment. Probably busy doing nothing. But if you are Luke please don't bother calling again.'

It was freaking annoying hoe she was plain ignoring me. I couldn't go over to her house because her parents were home. I couldn't arrange to meet with her and speak to her because she wont answer my calls or texts. I've dm'd her on pretty much every single social media account she has.

I decided that the only person who's good in situations like this is Calum. I had to tell him about Tay and I and the mistake I'd made. My own daughter hates me. We've got more of a brother and sister relationship though rather than a father daughter one. I kind of prefer it that way.

"What the actual fuck do you want? I'm kinda busy." I heard him snarl down the phone.

"Hello." I replied.

"Luke?"

"Hey cal, long time no see. I've got a problem."

"What is it Luke? Because I'm trying to do something important." I heard a girl giggle in the background.

"I'm in love with student." I said sternly. There was silence on the other line. I hope Cal doesn't think I'm some sort of weird perverted creep.

"Oh, well does she know?" He questioned, suddenly interested.

"Yeah she loves me too." Just as it left my mouth I heard screaming coming from Kenzies room. I ran to the door and rushed to open it but it was locked.

"Kenzie!" I shouted as I banged against the door.

"Luke!" I heard a muffled reply but it wasn't Kenzies voice. It was Taylor's.

It wasn't long before I'd managed to kick the door down to be greeted by nothing in the room but some pictures on the bed and some rope. I searched the room before hearing the muffled cry again. It was coming from the closet. I opened the closet cautiously and noticed Taylor curled up in the corner with blood covering her wrists, a knife on the ground and cut rope laying on the floor.

"Taylor, please tell me honestly that this is not what it looks like." I shouted, tears streaming down my face to see the girl I love in this state. She shook her head without saying a word.

"Its Kenzie. She knows about my past Luke, she knows about my attempted suicide and forced me to do this. She grabbed my hands and controlled me like a toy to hurt myself and she knew that it would hurt both of us." She sobbed. I grabbed her hands and pulled her up from the corner, holding her in my arms before kissing her quivering lips.

"I'm so sorry baby. We'll find a way to fix this. I didn't think kenzie could ever do this. Especially to you. I love you okay? Dont forget that." I caressed her cheek and she half smiled at me, biting her lip to stop shaking. "Where is she now?" I asked her sternly.

"she said that she was going out to get someone. I dunno what that means." She spoke quietly. This could never be any good. I know what Kenzies capable of but I never thought she'd go this far to hurt someone else.

"I'm never ever gonna let her hurt you again. Do you hear me?" She nodded as I pulled her close into my chest and took her into my bedroom, laying her down on my bed. I took my shirt off and climbed in next to her, burying my face in her shoulder and draping my arm around her waist. "Goodnight my love." I whispered into her ear.
