"Stop, please stop." I was whine-sobbing, but he just pressed harder. (a.n. Before you read the chapter, what did you think when you read that sentence?)
Calum's POV
Memory (at the after concert party)
"Luke? Where were you?" A drunk fan rested her head on Luke's chest.
He bit his lip, "You know, just spending some quality time with Emerald."
"Hey, guys look at this video Emerald posted." A girl, about twelve, screeched. It was a video of Luke and Michael kissing. Michael grabbed the phone out of her hand and screamed. Luke's entire face was an angry shade of red.
I didn't even know how she took a video.
A bald paparazzi man strutted up to us, "So Luke and Michael, I hear-"
Luke huffed and punched him in the face while muttering, "How the hell could she do this to me?"The man's nose was bleeding.
Luke held up his hand again but I pulled on his arm. It brought him back to reality."My bad." He walked away.
Two minutes we've been here, and Luke has already punched someone in the face.
"I'm leaving." I exhaled loudly and followed Luke.
Michael was still trying to explain to them what happened, "It was a dare, by Emerald."
"Mmhmm. MUKEEEE," He gave up, rolling his eyes. Michael was never fond of the paparazzi, but Luke, he was all about self image and what people thought of him.
*** Back to reality
Its hard to imagine what our lives have become.When we started the band, we never intended for it to go anywhere, but then it did. Even then, we weren't hungry for fame or money.
In 2016, Bill Gates's daughter died in a car accident. But she didn't leave her millions of dollars to her sister or even parents. She left it all to her idol Luke Hemmings.
He never bothered to share the money, but used it to buy a mansion. Michael and I live in an apartment while he lives in his mansion.
After that, he became obsessed with self-image and what people thought of him. It got even worse once he met Emerald.
A knocking of the door interrupted my thoughts.
I opened the door and saw Emerald standing outside.
She was covered in bruises and was whimpering."C-can I stay here?"
I felt compelled to say yes, but Luke was my friend and I couldn't betray him. That and other things...
"I'm sorry. Luke would murder me if I did."

Emerald's POV
"I'm sorry. Luke would murder me if I did."
"Please, Luke will literally kill me if I go back there. I didn't even post the video." I must look so desperate.
He clearly thought I posted the video. It was unfair, I was abused and no one believed me.
Calum started to close the door but I started to talk again."Ok, just help me, I'm begging you. Just help me find the address of Ashton Irwin, he was my friend when we were younger and I could stay with him. "
He opened the door and frowned.
"So what, you're just going to live with this boy?"
"Um yeah, I guess so." I nodded inconspicuously.
"I'm sorry Emerald. I can't let you do that. If you ran away, what would the fandom think?" he said it with a tone of disgust in his voice.
"Then why did you warn me?" I glared at him.
"Then obviously, you'd come here, thinking I was your savior. Was I wrong?" A smile curled his lips.
And to think, I thought Calum was the nice one. Everyone I trust betrays me at one point or another.
"You, of all people don't control what I do. I will live with Ashton without being abused and you can't stop me." I wasn't afraid of Calum.
"Actually I can and I will," He twisted my arms behind my back, not allowing me to move more than an inch in any direction. His muscular arms were pressing against my bruises, causing my to scream out in pain. He whispered in my ear, "Its funny how goddamn easy it is to trick you."
He picked up his phone to call Luke.
"Luke?" He turned on speaker.
"Yeah?" I could feel Luke smirking on the other side.
"I think you left something of yours here."
"Oh really, like what? A pen?" Luke clearly knew Calum was talking about me.
"No no no. Its far less important."
Luke chuckled, "Is it Emerald?"
"Yes, are you going to come get her?"
"I'm on my way." That was probably the most demeaning conversation I have ever heard. He released his grip on me.
"You're so gullible." He pinched my cheeks. I furrowed my eyebrows but it made him laugh harder. "Luke's on his way."
"I heard." I frowned, looking over at the windows.
"Seriously, the window?" Calum laughed. "You're so cute."
My cheeks flushed.
He put his hands on my already formed bruises and pressed down while pinching.
"Oww, What the hell are you doing Calum?"
"Luke's not here, so who's going to stop me?" Not that he would anyway.
"Stop, please stop." I was whine-sobbing, but he just pressed harder.
Luke came in.
"Calum, what are you doing?"
"Uhh, nothing." Obviously, he didn't want Luke to know.
Luke grabbed my arm. "We're leaving. Thanks for finding Emerald."
"Yeah, she was just walking on the street and I found her." Did he just lie to Luke?
I opened my mouth but his shoe pressed against my foot signalling for me to shut up or else.
He pulled my arm and once we left, he started to scold me.
"You're an idiot, you know that Emerald."
"Well yo-" I started to defend my self, but he interrupted me, angrier than he was before.
"Don't even bother. You've been a bitch and you're going to pay for it."

Where is Luke going to take Emerald?
To all of you that thought Calum was the nice one, uhh...
What do you think of Luke's selfishness?
And what did you think when you read the first sentence?
Any predictions on where he is taking her?
Anyway, COMMENT, VOTE AND FAN ILY
