Calum's POV
"Peter how-why-what are you doing here and why did you kill Lexi?! Let us go now! What do you want with us just let us leave! The past is in the past!" Emily cried. "You deserve what's coming for you." He chuckled obviously annoyed. "PETER LET US GO!" Emily yelled back. "Carry on Calum." He ignored Emily. "Peter please." "CALUM!" He yelled at me making me flinch. I slowly unfolded the paper. "Read it out loud." His voice was stern. "G-gun to the head." My voice came out shaky. "Calum shoot Emily in the head please." He smiled walking towards the table full of small, hand guns. "What no!" I yelled pretty shocked he actually thinks I'm going to do that. "Its one or them all."
He grabbed two and walked back to me while a man pushed Emily out about 4 feet away. "I'll hold this to your head while you shoot Em." He explained quite happily. This guy has some serious issues.
He handed me the gun. I was seriously planning to turn quickly and shot him but for some reason I couldn't move. I was like paralyzed or something. From fear probably.
I slowly moved my head to look at everyone else. They all had guns to the head so I guess he was serious. Shit shit shit what do I do. They all looked at me wide eyed. How am I gonna get out of this. "Shot." Peter shoved me slightly.
I locked my eyes shut and raised the gun. "Calum? What the hell are you actually going to fucking do it?" Luke yelled. "I-I can't I won't!" I pouted. "Calum! It's all of us or just Emily. I'm sorry Em I love you to death but we have to make the smarter choice. At least you don't have to watch all of us die." Anna reasoned. "What the hell Anna?! So much for never let a guy get between us." Emily rolled her eyes (well I think she did). Anna had a point though. If there is any chance of any of us getting out of here, most of us will still have to be alive.
I tightened my grip on the gun. I knew how to aim one only because Michael and I would always play video games like this instead of the homework that would really be helpful right now. I looked up at Emily and started strait into her eyes. "Do it. Save everyone else make sure all you get out alive." She smiled at me through her tears. I could tell she knew Anna had a good point too. "Anna I'm sorry I see what you're saying. I don't want our last conversation to be a fight." Emily looked at Anna who was now bawling. "I love you Em." Anna cried. Emily just smiled and turned back to face me.
I didn't even know I was crying until I felt the tears running down my cheeks. "Em I-I can't." I choked. "DO IT." She yelled through her sobs. I looked away from her and locked my eyes shut. I heard Michael cry "NO!" As I quickly pulled the trigger.
Emily's POV
Right as Calum pulled the trigger Michael jumped right in front.
He took a slight step back as the bullet hit him. "MIKEY!" Katie yelled as I dropped to my knees. Everything was so surreal and all I could hear was the ringing in my ear from the sound of the shot. I was still staring strait ahead of me, wide eyed. I could see Calum in the corner of my eye. He hasn't moved. The gun was still pointed in my direction and he was still looking at the floor. He was in shock.
Peter snatched the gun out of Cal's hand and walked back to the table and set the two hand guns down. All the other men did the same. Luke, Katie, and Ashton ran to Michael as Anna just stared off in the distance looking like she saw a ghost. "Mikey no no no your okay just keep your eyes open. Look at me, LOOK AT ME MICHAEL CLIFFORD DON'T GO. COME ON KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN." Luke yelled lifting Mikey's head up and pulling it on his lap. "It's okay Luke. I'll be with Lexi now." I was now looking at the dying, bleach haired boy. He just smiled at Luke. "No Mikey you-you have to stay with us please." Ashton cried holding onto Michaels wrist. "I'll be with Lexi..." His sweet voice trailed off. "Michael." I cried softly realizing what just happened.
"CALUM YOUR FUCKING IDIOT IM GOING TO LITERALLY KILL YOU RIGHT FUCKING HERE, FUCKING NOW!" Ashton yelled standing up from lifeless Michael. Calum just collapsed, falling onto his hands and knees and started to breath heavily. He had one hand holding himself up while he rubbed his head with the other one. He was still staring at the ground but he was blinking oddly fast and a lot. "CALUM....." Ashton yelled once again taking a step towards Calum but Katie stood up quickly to stop him from taking another step. Ashton just huffed and Clenched his fists."Ashton, Cal had no choice." Katie tried to reason. "Why the hell would he do it." Ashton cried softly, turning around and running his hands through his hair.
Anna's POV
I know Michael literally just died right in front of me but I felt worse for Calum... is that bad? I don't know but Calum with have to live with himself, and the memory of killing his best mate.
"Alright everyone back to their spots let's keep it going." Peter cheered, clapping his hands together loudly to get our attention. I didn't even think about glancing in his direction. I was to busy watching Calum (even though he hasn't moved much). He looked stunned.
He slowly met my gaze and I could tell he was on the verge of tears. I'm honestly confused how he hasn't broke down or anything yet but I guess he still hasn't fully realized what just happened. "Cal." I whispered.
I got up slowly and walked to Calum. I didn't care at all what Peter had just said, Cal needed some comfort.
He shakily stood up too but soon collapsed into my arms. I couldn't hold him up so we both sank to our knees with me hugging him tightly the whole time. He was crying into my shoulder, which is weird because I'm usually the one who cries. "Mikey I-I-I didn't mean to actually pull the trigger I just- just..." His voice trailed off. His breathing was abnormally fast and loud. "Calum it's okay he knows that. He's with Lexi now and in a better place." I started to freak out.
Mikey's actually gone. Lexi is actually gone. We're all going die. Might as well face reality.
