"Call 911!" I yelled.

"Michael, we can't just call emergency services without being sure she is putting herself in danger." Ashton said.

"Call the fire department! Call the cops! Call someone!" I shouted.

"Michael, we can't!" Calum yelled back.

"Do something! You heard her! She's gonna go get hit by a truck! I have to save her. I have to go home!" I said.

I ran to the dresser and began grabbing stuff and throwing it in my suitcase. I had to go home. I had to stop her.

"Michael."

"Michael, stop."

One of them grabbed me from behind, restricting my arms.

"Let me go! I have to go home!" I screamed.

"Michael, you need to calm down!" Ashton yelled.

I struggled to break free. No
success.

"Michael!"

"Let me go! Let me-" I couldn't talk. I stopped fighting it. I would say I was crying again, but I don't think I ever stopped crying.

"Let me go." I sobbed.

Luke nodded and Ashton let me go. Instead of moving, I collapsed into Ashton's arms.

"She'll be okay, Mikey." Luke said.

I didn't respond. No she wouldn't. Regardless, I hurt her. I hurt her bad. I couldn't fix it. I was still crying into Ashton's shoulder. He had his arms wrapped around me. I wasn't ready to move yet.

"I hate myself." I muttered.

I really hated myself.
