nine

Luke knew there was possibility he'd end up dead. He was almost sure, he'd end up dead by tonight. The fact that he kept imaging scenarios in his head weren't helping one bit.

With his long legs, he stumbles across the hotel room and takes a seat by his brown eyed friend on the couch.

His eyes travel to Calum's and he could tell he started talking something, but Luke was too preoccupied with his thoughts to understand and process his friend's gibberish.

Luke stares at a spot on his friend's face—which happened to be his lips, and tunes out of the real world.

His mind throws forward images of an angry Michael with his ears turned red, nose flaring, teeth gritting against each other. Luke was scared shitless of angry Michael, to say the least. Michael might or might not slaughter him in that moment of time.

Michael was passionate about things or people – that he considered his. He would go to any extreme to get what he wanted, or protect what is dear to him.

Luke couldn't even talk about his situation with the other boys. He didn't know what to do.

Mia.

He felt his stiff shoulders slouch and the speed of his heart slow down at the thought of her. Why didn't he think of her sooner? His lips stretch out into a wide grin and he forces his phone out of his jeans.

"—And then Ashton got hit in the balls." Calum finishes his story.

"Huh?"

"You know, after he kissed the cow." Calum explains, his eyebrows raised expectantly, mouth open in a frozen smile.

Luke pretends to understand whatever story Calum had just told him. "Oh! Oh! I get it now." Luke forces a loud fake laugh.

Calum stretches his lips in a proud smile, as he made his friend laugh. Slowly getting off the couch, he spoke. "I'm gonna go tell Michael this."

Luke felt his lips turn into a worried frown at the mention of his name. He nods at Calum, nonetheless. "Okay, he'll love it."

Once the tanned lad leaves the room, Luke surfs through his phone and quickly taps on Mia's number.
