Roses Flaws ↠ Michael Clifford (AU)

Chapter | 53 |

The hysterical cries and madness rang out through the hallways.I'd be surprised if you didn't hear it. I was right in the middle of it.

Things were broken, including the book shelf. The whole area was a mess and wrecked.

I watched as a couple of guards carried him away, he was crying and very angry. Nancy walked up to me and grabbed my wrists tightly.

"Snap out of it." She said, "What happened?"

"He just freaked." I stated, sniffling.

An hour earlier

I've been banging on Luke's door for the past five minutes.

"Luke you better get off your ass and open this door."

Right then, he opened the door and an awful smell hit me.

"Oh my gosh." I leaned over & threw up into the nearest trashcan.

"What is that smell?" I coughed.

Luke's eyes widened. "Nothing. You look good- is that a new shirt?I can't talk. Goodbye."

He shut the door immediately. That was weird. Really weird. I headed towards the garden.

"Hey guys." I greeted Maggie, Chris, Calum, and Michael.

They all said their heys and stuff. "Have you noticed how weird Luke has been acting, its like hes hiding something."

Calum shrugged. "Maybe he is. Luke's been weird since the playing operation board game."

Operation Board game means Surgery.

I started to deeply think about Luke and his weirdness. "..Did luke ever say with what he did with the baby doll." I winked. Baby doll was short for dead baby.

Maggie and Chris had no clue about my pregnancy or about the surgery and I would like to keep it that way. There was no reason to tell them, its all past me now and part of me would like to forget about it.

"He never said anything me about, I didn't think to bring it up."

"You don't think he kept it do you?" I fake laughed.

"No.. I don't think. There's a possibility." Calum's eyes widened. He stood abruptly and grabbed my hand. We both run down the corridor hand in hand.

"I'm going to try and get Luke out of his room. When we are both around the hall I want you to go in and look for what he's so nervous about. I don't feel right about this but Luke is hiding the body, we need to know and get it away for his safety." Calum told me.

From what I could see behind the wall, Calum had just knocked on the door. Almost immediately, Luke answered. Lots of hand gestures and hand shaking. He had decided to leave.

When they were around the hall, I ran into Luke's room. The smell almost knocked me out.

I had to put my shirt over my nose.
"You really need air freshener in here Luke."

I searched in his dresser, under his pillow and bed. There weren't many places to check. The room was very small. In the corner of my eye, I saw a shoe box.

I opened the lid and it was the end.

"Why." I gasped.

Why would Luke keep the baby? Especially when he knew I didn't want it now where near me.

The door opened.

"Mackenzie.. Why are you in my room?"

"I don't know Luke, you tell me. Why do you have my dead baby in a shoebox. You know I wanted to forget about it."

"Listen to me." Luke started, edging towards me with hands hands in front of him. "I'm sorry, I didn't feel write flushing a baby down a toilet. Its mine now, I'll be the father."

"Luke!" I exclaimed. "Do you not get it?! It's not right. You are not healthy."

"No. Its mine." He shook his head. Luke kicked the bed railing.

Calum came slowly towards him. "Look Mate, I agree with Mac. Its
not healthy. This room stinks and you can't be the father to a dead baby."

"Yes I can." He seethed. "I can fix both of those problems. We can get air freshener and for the dead baby.. Its not dead. Its clearly alive."

"Mackenzie Ross, please report to Dr.Carson's office in five." The intercom said.

"I gotta go." I stated. Luke was pulling at his hair and walking in circles.

I motioned towards Calum, slowing grabbing the shoe box. "One..Two..Three."

Calum grabbed Luke and I grabbed the shoe box and ran.

"Nooo!" He cried out. "Let me go."

I didn't stop running until I saw Michael. "Whoa whoa Mac, why are you in a hurry? And what is that smell."

"I need a favor, Luke's lost it and the reason is in this box. Can you hide it please? Somewhere he won't find it. I would do it but I have a session. Thank you!" I shoved the box into his hands.

I was out of breath when I reached Dr.Carson's office. I slowly opened the door and stepped in. He peaked around the corner.

"Mackenzie!" He grinned,coming towards me. "How's our baby."

Dr.Carson grabbed my hand and made me stand in front of his desk then he got on his knees. He placed his ear on my stomach.

"Well that's strange, there's no heartbeat." He stood getting his stethoscope.

I let out a nervous laugh. "Maybe its being quiet."

He tried getting a heartbeat again.

"What did you do?!" He screamed, knocking everything off his desk.

I backed away slowly. "Noth-Nothing."

Carson stalked towards me. "You did something! What happened to my baby." His large hands grasped my throat.

"Please st-stop. I pro-promise I didn't do anything."

"You did." He let me go. Dr.Carson went around knocking stuff over.

The hysterical cries and madness rang out through the hallways.I'd be surprised if you didn't hear it. I was right in the middle of it.

Things were broken, including the book shelf. The whole area was a mess and wrecked.

I watched as a couple of guards carried him away, he was crying and very angry. Nancy walked up to me and grabbed my wrists tightly.

"Snap out of it." She said, "What happened?"

"He just freaked." I stated, sniffling.

They carried Dr.Carson away as soon as his cries got loud enough, Nancy barged in and demanded what was wrong. When she saw the mess, she called for guards and they took him away. I was dismissed after being asked a lot of questions.

"Mackenzie." Michael called out. I turned, waiting for him to catch up.

"I heard what happened. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's been nice talking to you and all Mikey but I've had it for today. I found that one of my best friends has been keeping my dead baby and I've been choked. I'm sorry."

I left him there standing, gaping. When I got to my room, I laid down & instantly went to sleep.
