The next morning.
I went down to the lobby and sat with Luke, Cal, Ash and Mike. I woke up to a text from Luke telling me to come down the the lobby.

Me: "I've just gotten your text. If this is about Ethan, I know he didn't get on his plane, he's gone out to find smoked salmon for my breakfast."

Luke: "Smoked salmon is he off his nut?"

Ash: "he must be"

Cal: "why hasn't he gone home after last night?"

Ash: "why does he think your even talking to him?"

Me: "look this is how a relationship works. We have our good days and we have our bad days."

Luke: "what about all the things you said yesterday?"

Me: "that was yesterday."

Luke: "you don't understand, Anna. Your being manipulated. Ethans, controlling your life, he's controlling your mind!"

Michael: "we're just looking out for you, Bella. Believe me"

I usually hate it when people call me Bella but when Mikey says it I love it.

Michael: "Ethans not the person he's claiming to be"

Ethan: "success. Still frozen but I'm sure the hotel won't mind defrosting it"
He looked down at my plate of toast and sighed.
Ethan: "Easy on the grains, Annabelle. Remember what we said about refined carbohydrates, eh?"
I put down the toast and slid the plate along the table.
Ethan: "good girl"
And walked off to find a worker.

Michael: "that's it" getting up in his chair.

Luke: "sit down. You'll make it worse"

Michael: "but that's how it started before did you not see the 'popular' group in school bullying her for how she looks"

Luke: "WHAT, Anna?!!"

Me: "it's true. they'd call me, fat, ugly, unfuckable, slut"

Luke: "why didn't you tell me??!"

Michael: "don't listen to them your stunning"

Cal: "yeah, your gorgeous, Anna"

Me: "thanks...."

- Michael POV-
It angered me so much hearing him say that to her. Controlling her. Manipulating her. She deserves so much more. She deserves to be happy. Truly happy. I stormed off after him.

Me: "I know what your doing"

Ethan: "trying to get smoked salmon?"

Me: "no. I'm talking about, Anna, the way you treat her, the way you try and control her. "

Ethan: "try to control her? That's some accusation."

Me: "you came here uninvited and after everything she said to you last night, you're still hanging round like a bad smell. Your flight is wasn't canceled. Your staying here to control my friend. And I'm not going to let that happen."

- a bit later that day 4 hours before our flight to the next place on tour -
( Annabelle POV)

Ethan: "right, Annabelle and I are going on our walk to have our quite time, so both our phones will be switched off."

Cal: "do you actually want to go for a walk, Anna?"

Me: "As temping as it is to sit here all day till we go to the airport a think a brisk walk is just what the doctor ordered"

Ethan: "good girl. Though who needs a doctor when you've got me to look after you?"

Me: "quite."

Ethan: "right, best foot forward"

Me: "Luke, if you do need me for any reason-"

Ethan: "Annabelle! Shh. Quite time. Hmmm?"

Me: "hold on that's my brother"

Ethan: "listen to me!"

He raised his hand about to slap me, I wired my eyes shut but I felt nothing I slowly opened them and saw Michael holding his wrist.

Me: "that's it!! Get out of this hotel!! Get out of this country!! And get out of my life!!!"

Ethan: "you'll regret this, Annabelle"

Luke: "no she won't, leave"

Ethan walked out of the hotel with his head down. I can't believe he's actually gone. I'm free. I'm actually free. Luke walked over and put his arm around my shoulders pulling me into a hug.

Luke: "told you I'll always be here."

Me: "thank you. We should get to the airport"

Cal: "yeah, come on"

We got to the airport and waited for our flight. I was so tired I almost fell asleep. My eyes were fighting to stay open.

Michael: "you can put your head on my shoulder if you want"

Me: "thanks"

I thought that was very sweet. I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. Just for a bit.
My eyes flickered and I could hear the boys laughing. A smile crept on my face. I saw the time and noticed we had 20 minutes till our flight.

Ash: "your up!"

Me: "what you laughing at?"

Cal: "Luke's middle name"

Me: "what?! Robert?"

Michael: "yeah! Who came up with it?"

Me: "I did, bare in mind I was one year old. They put a book i front of me of names and I pointed at Robert"

Ash: "so if you pointed at Luke, he'd be Luke Luke Hemmings" laughing even more.

Me: "I suppose so" laughing.

Luke: "okay, fine what about your middle names? Ash! Fletcher? Really? Anna! Arabella? Mike! Gordon? Cal! Thomas?"

Me: "their better than Robert"

Luke: "Arabella though?"

Me: "yes, I know, I don't like it either. You know this"

Michael: "I like it"

Me: "you do?"

Michael: "yeah.. it suits you"

Me: "thank you" I felt my cheeks warm up and of course I was blushing. "We should get on the plane"

Luke: "yeah.. we should"

We stood up and walked towards the gate. Me and Luke walked ahead with the others following behind.

Luke: "what's going on between you and Mike?" Whispering.

Me: "nothing, Luke. Don't worry. Promise"

On the plane I was sat next to Michael. Luke, Cal and Ash were sat behind us. I just picked up my book which lets be honest I won't read much of.

Michael: "Bella?"

Me: "yeah, mikey?"

Michael: "I'm glad Ethans gone, I saw how miserable he made you. You deserve to be truly happy"

Me: "thanks, mikey"

Michael: "do me a favour?"

Me: "what is it?"

Michael: "tell me when your truly happy"

Me: "I will. Promise you"

Michael: "good. I'll let you read"
