Allison P.o.v.

"Where are they?" Rachel questions. I shrug my shoulders.

"Hell if I know." I mumble. "But I know they're in here somewhere."

"How the hell do you figure they'd be in the middle of nowhere in a bar?" she questions dodging a drunken couple dancing.

"Because if there's one thing Luke loves its alcohol and partying."

"You're about to crash his party." she says. I roll my eyes.

"I'll be a good surprise."

"I bet you will." she mumbles. I make my way to the bar taking in my surroundings.

"Found him." I tell her. I grab her arm pulling her along.

"Allison?" Calum says. I smile slightly.

"Oh hey, Cal." I say "Look tim, no see, eh?"

"Allison Baker?" Luke says. i turn to him.

"Luke." I whisper. I hadnt fully forgiven him for leaving in the middle of the night and now saying goodbye, but hey, at least he isnt dead.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"You would never believe us. But you have to." Rachel says. "Ally and I have been through hell and back in the past week. And I will tell you when we get in the car all we've been through, but I need you to come with us."

"Are you okay, Ally?" Luke questions.

"Just peachy." I reply grabbing his arm. "We need to go."

"Where are we going?" Luke questions as I drag him towards the exit.

"To my car, damn, do you ever listen?" I snap. Calum chuckles behind us.

"Same old, Ally." he comments.

^^

"So you're telling me that Michael Clifford, the boy Allison had a undying crush on, is teamed up with Ashton Irwin and is coming to kill me and Calum?" Luke questions.

"About right." Rachel says.

"And they tried to kill you guys?" Calum questions.

"Yes." I reply.

"I dont believe this shit. I know Michael hates me and all because of you choosing me over hi-"

"I didnt choose you over him." I argue.

"Bullshit." He counters.

"I realized I had no chance with him." I snap.

"Okay, Luke, stop before you get her upset." Rachel says shooting him a look. I keep my eyes focused on the road trying to block it all out.

"Ally are you okay?" Calum questions.

"Yes." I reply. My grip on the steering wheel as I sigh.

"No. I'm not okay. We're running out of gas." I reply.

"Then pull over, Allison." Luke says. I roll my eyes.

"Fine." I reply. I pull over to the nearest gas station and leanback in my seat. Luke climbs out and so do I.

"I'm sorry, you know?" he tells me. "I'm sorry I left you."

"Why did you leave me?" I question sticking the nosel in the car.

"Because I was falling in love with you and I knew you wouldnt feel the same because of Michael." he mumbles. I look over at him and shake my head.

"You werent in love with me, Luke."

"Than why do I still feel the same way I did when we were 16 and 17?"

"Luke I-" He had me utterly speechless. "I dont feel the same way," I tell him. "You hurt me, Luke. Emotionally and physically. Completely distoried the girl I was in high school."

"I really will never be able to tell you how sorry I am." Luke whispers looking over at me.

"It fine. Here." I say handing him money. "Go pay for the gas."

I watch as he walks across the parking lot. I sigh. The thought of Luke falling in love with me made me want to punch something or someone. Our mums used to joke about us getting together sooner or later. I honestly can say Luke is like a brother to me. I have never had feeling for him.

Luke comes out the store with his hands in his pockets. Out of nowhere a SUV comes flying into the gas station nearly fitting Luke. Luke looked terrified as he stares at the driver for a minute before running towards me.

"Get in the car, Allison!" he exclaims. He pushes me into the car.

"What the hell?"I mumble.

"Its Michael." Luke says panicking. "Allison. Go."

I put the car into drive and take off. "What the hell!" Rachel exclaims, gripping the seat.

"Allison?" Calum questions.

"What?"

"He's following us."
