Bad Blood

Chapter 10

***Luke's POV***

Michael had changed. He really had. It was weird to think it but I saw him collapse in front of me. That's not something that you can fake. I always thought since the killingspree that Michael would kill me too, as he had sworn. But he didn't and he didn't seem mad, not anymore. He seemed sad. He had killed his, and my, best friends, Ashton and Calum. He had no parents. I don't know what happened to them but still. He had no one to look after him. He had no one. No friends, no family, none... Suddenly I realised why Michael spent so much time with Ana. She made him forget about his past, just for a while. The same what happened to me when I first came here. Ana was amazing, she could take the pain away.

I wasn't jealous of Michael and Ana anymore. In fact he deserved her more than I do. But he couldn't only have Ana. he needed a friend. And that's when i decided that I was going to be his friend...

***Ana's POV***

Luke was acting less weird and strange around Michael and somehow Michael had become more quiet than before. Had they talked? Did they fix whatever happened in the past? Or was nothing going on and had I just been having weird dreams which I thought were reality? However they were both acting normal. They weren't talking to each other but they didn't ignore each other either. Also Luke wasn't such an asshole as he was before. He was acting nice and sweet again, as the Luke I got to learn on the first day. He wasn't an ignoring asshole as he had been the last weeks. This was good. This was nice.

***Luke's POV***

I really wanted to try to get to know Michael better. I trusted him. But not for 100%. I decided I was going to be his friend and I was curious if he had left his past behind. And this time for good. But we needed to spend more time together first..

Later that day I was looking for Michael. And I found him standing next to his locker. "Hey Michael" I said with a (way too) happy voice. "Uhm hi Luke.." Michael said. "Wanna hang out today?" I asked. "Yeah sure. We can go to my place if you'd like to" Michael said. "Yeah sure. See you after school?" I asked. "See you then" Michael said and then he left.

He was acting quite normal, maybe surprised but yeah we were going to his place. Wait... his place... Iwas actually a bit worried now... I mean he could still murder me at his place where no one could hear me scream.. But I had to figure that out first...

After school Michael was waiting next to my locker. "Hi Lukey" Michael said laughing. "Hi Mikey" I said laughing back. "Ready to go?" He asked. "Yupp! I'm ready" I said.

We walked to the buss stop. It was quite a long ride. Michael lived on the edge of the city. I was getting more and more nervous the farther we drove. I barely knew to find my way in the centre. How should I find my way back home? When the buss stopped at the last station we got out and walked about 10 minutes till we saw something that looked like an abandoned mansion. This was quite a bit scaring. Michael took the key and opened the enormous door. On the inside it was mostly black and a dark shade of red that I saw. It was a bit creepy.. It kinda reminded me of some Haunted House which you saw in horror movies. I actually felt like I was living in one now. It was silent in here.

A few seconds later Michael broke the silence. "So... you wanna play a game Luke? I'm gonna beat you ass" he laughed and he walked to a huge door and opened it. When I walked in I saw a huge tv and I saw a big stack of video games. "Choose whatever game you want and i'm gonna beat you" Michael laughed and he walked out of the room.

Awkwardly I took a random game, I didn't even look at the name or what kind of game it was but I didn't really care. How could he even effort all of this? Well I heard his parents died so maybe the had left him money which he had bought this with.. That'd be logical.

When I had put the game on Michael walked into the room with loads of candy in his hands. "FOOD!" He screamed. I laughed. We started playing and Michael beated me in every single game. We played tons of games till 2 am.

The next morning I woke up on the couch. Where was I? Oh yeah right, I was at Michael's. From all of what I'd remember it had been fun.

A few minutes later I heard Michael enter the room. I closed my eyes and pretended I was still sleeping. "MORNING LUKEY!" Michael yelled in my ear. Jump scare. I fell off the couch and bumped my head to the table next to me. "Auch" was all I could say and I was rubbing on the aching place. "C'mon time to cash the buss" Michael said while giving me some bread, handing me my backpack and he drew me out of the house to the buss stop.

I was tired. When we got to the buss I fell asleep while sitting next to Michael. When the buss stopped at school Michael woke me up and I got out of the buss. School was just the usual so nothing special really.. When it was over I got home. Michael really had changed. I was 100% sure. He had really left his past behind him and that was a good thing.

Michael wasn't the coldblooded killer from the past anymore...
