Twenty-Three

"Look who's here! Lupe, sweetie how have you been?" he said as he tried to give me a hug, but I moved away.
"How dare you not give me a hug!" he yelled and then slapped me. I stood there trying to hold my tears in as I looked to the side. Calum was there.

"Dad!" I yelled as I tried to run to him but he pushed me to the floor. Calum freaked out. He was trying so hard to get out of the chains.
"That is no way to treat your uncle. You haven't changed one bit since the last time I saw you. You're still a bitch." my uncle said as he kicked me in the stomach.

My uncle made his way towards Calum and took the tape off his mouth.
"Don't touch her! How dare you treat her like that! You son of a bitch!" Calum cried out.
"Dad, calm down please." I begged.
"How do you want me to calm down!? He hurt you." He yelled but once he saw me he lowered his voice and teared up.

"Let him go." I demanded as I tried to get up.
"Now why should I do that?" he asked.
"Because I came here. Just like you demanded in the note." I explained.
"So if I let him go, you'll stay?" he asked.
"I'll stay. Just please let him go." I begged.
"Alright." he said as he let Calum go.

"Can I give him the keys? That way he can leave?" I asked. At first he hesitated but then he let me. I ran towards Calum and wrapped my arms around him.
"Calum I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry." I cried.
"Shh, babe it's okay. It's okay. I have a plan." he whispered in my ear. I listened closely to what his plan was and agreed. We both got up and walked towards the exit.

We hugged for the "last" time. When my uncle wasn't looking, we ran out of the house.
"Hey get back!" he yelled. But we kept sprinting. We finally got to the car and jumped in. I quickly turned on the car and drove off. Thank god the license plate was confusing to remember, I thought.

"We did it! Calum we did it!" I yelled in excitement.
"It was a good thing we both played soccer, or we would've been dead by now." Calum chuckled.
"Alright, do you have your phone?" I asked.
"It's out of battery." Cal said.
"Put it to charge and call one of the guys or Grace." I said. He put his phone to charge and waited a few minutes, then called someone.

"Put it on speaker." I said and he put the call on speaker.
"Hello?" someone cried into the phone. It was Luke.
"Lukey!" we both said.
"Lupe? Calum!?" he asked kind of shocked.
"Luke. we escaped." Cal said.
"Oh my gosh. Really!? Don't lie, please."
"Lukey. we're safe now. I'm driving back to the hotel." I informed.
"Oh my gosh. Okay, we'll be here."
"Okay, bye Lukey. We'll see you later." we said.
"Okay, bye and please stay safe." he said than hung up.

"I need to ask a serious question." Calum said.
"And what would that question be?" I asked.
"...Who was that guy?" he asked as we got to the hotel and went inside.
"...My uncle. When my parents died, he was in custody of me for the longest I can remember. Maybe two or three years. But then, he was caught by the police because, uhm, I finally told our neighbors that he was uhm, abusing me. When the cops were taking him away, he threatened to find me and make me wish that I was dead. After that they put me in foster homes." I explained, trying so hard not to cry. But I ended up crying, once Calum hugged me for the longest time ever. I felt safe.

"I'm so sorry princess. I'm really sorry for not being there when you needed someone, for all the dangers you were put through and didn't have anyone. You're safe with us now. I'm so so so sorry." Calum said as he hugged me tighter and cried with me. We stayed like that for the longest time ever. In each other's embrace.
"Come on, let's go back to the room or else they'll all be worried sick." Calum said as he pulled away from the hug. I wiped away his tears with my thumb and he wiped away my tears with his thumbs.

"Let's go babe." Calum said as he held my hand in his and made our way to the room.
"Calum..."
"Lupe...."
"Can we go to iHop in about an hour or so?" I asked.
"Mmm, sure why not! I love me some pancakes." He said.
"Because I make them." I said cockily.
"Uhm, look what a nice beige color!" Cal said as he looked at the walls of the hall.

I stopped walking and gave him a glare. It wasn't just a glare, it was the 'run-or-I'll-Chop-Your-PeePee-Off' glare. He got the memo and ran for dear life. I ran after him. He ran into the room and slammed the door in my face, just as I was going to go inside. Prank time!

I layed down on the floor and put fake blood all over my face. Except eyes, lips, and hair. But why do you carry fake blood? Oh, that's not the only thing I carry, but when you're living with four or more guys and it's one or two girls, there's going to be a lot of pranks.

"Lupe?" I heard through the door. I stayed on my position looking hurt. Then Calum opened the door and saw me, or my face.
"Oh my gosh, Lupe! Are you okay!?" he asked me as he helped me get up.
"No it hurts." I whined.
"Let's get you cleaned up." He said as we made our way to the restroom and he cleaned my face up.

"What the?"
"Thanks Calum. That fake blood was starting to bother me. Its really sticky." I said. Calum glared at me and smacked my head.
"Owe." I whined as we went into the room. We didn't even get to see who was in the room because we book got attacked with hugs.

"Don't ever do that again you little rat!" Luke said as he smacked me across the head.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. You're probably already hurt." he continued as he gave me a big hug.
"Lupe!" I heard Grace say as she wrapped her arms tightly around me.
"Gracey!"
"Oh my gosh, thank go you're alive. I knew you wouldn't leave me alone with four guys." Sh said jokingly. We hugged each other for a while a then everybody else hugged Calum and I.

"Guys, where's Matt?" I asked.
"Uhm, he's on the rooftop. He's really sad." Carter said.
"Go see him." Calum said. I looked at him and then exited the room and made my way to the roof top.
