-Faith-

The past couple weeks with Luke have been possibly the best weeks of my life.

He seemed to become needy. Not in a bad way but he always felt like I needed to be right next to him at any moment. I adored that about him, it made me feel special and wanted.

As I look over the times we've spent together, every time one of us we start an argument he'd drop it immediately and change the subject.

I never would've thought that Luke Hemmings would make me feel this way, but somehow he has this affect on me that makes me weak to his touch and all giggly when he tells me he missed me.

I almost feel like I shouldn't be feeling this way.. Luke and I aren't anything special, we've gone on a few dates and exchanged a few intimate experiences but we aren't officially together.

I want to ask him about it but I'm scared that if we do get into a relationship that I'll mess something up. I'm scared that he's afraid of me being unfaithful.

Maybe it's just my nerves but I don't know how I feel about this.. About us..

Today I figured I'd stop by the boys house today just to hang out with all of them like we normally do. I texted Mikey about an hour ago to get some food going and set up the Xbox, he replied with 'will do' but he never answered me back.

So I took it upon myself to drive over there and let myself in.

When I opened the door I was not prepared for what I was about to view.

I mean I knew about there activities but I always thought that they were joking.

They always sounded like they were making a joke of it.

Dark green duffel bags filled with stacks on stacks of 100 dollar bills strewn across the living room floor. Big dark blue plastic boxes contained smaller boxes of what seemed to be ammunition.

To top it off, Calum and Ashton walk in carrying two L85's and a NCM Assault Rifle.

The two turn to look at each other then at me standing dumbfounded in their doorway.

I honestly didn't know what to think other than where the hell could Luke be.

"Luke" was all I could get out before my feet took action, I ran through the halls shouting his name but there was no answer. I went into a panic, I didn't know where he was and I wasn't sure if he was alright or not. I could hear Calum and Ashton's footsteps behind me but I kept running, trying to navigate my way to his room.

I feel a push on my left shoulder and I'm knocked into the hallway wall. Before I have a second to think about what I'm going to do I can already feel Ashton's large hand on my shoulder, pinning me to the wall.

"He's gone Faith, He already left with Mikey" I hear Calum say in a menacing tone.

I can feel my heart rate increasing by the milli second.

These two really muscular guys with extremely powerful guns have me pinned to the wall. I'm completely vulnerable, I have no way of defending myself.

Calum reached behind his back and pulls out a tiny handgun from what I'm assuming is his belt.

He fires twice above my head and I can already feel myself going into cardiac arrest.

"Calum please.." I choke out and ashton shoves me again.

"Hold her still" Calum commands to Ashton. His voice is gruff and cold, I've never seen him this way before and honestly I don't want to know what's triggered him to react like this.

Calum traced the cold metal tip of the gun up my shoulder and to my temple "You've been spending an awful lot amount of time with Luke, too long that he's caught these stupid feelings for you. He almost didn't leave this morning because he was afraid that something was going to happen to his precious girlfriend."

This made me worried.

They were his best friends.. They couldn't have done something to him..

"You didn't do shit to him" I spat out, the sentence sounding a lot more worried than confident.

"Doesn't matter, he's away from you now and once he's in the game he doesn't come out. You should know that better than anyone. That's why he left you all those times. Disappearing for months.. Never answering your calls.. Where do you think he was? On vacation?!"

That stung.. He knew exactly what to say to hurt me

"Luke is a big baby, we all know he will say something about you and someone will hear about it. Then they come back here and murder you, your family, and everyone close to you. Now that can't happen because sooner or later they will trace it back to us and then we will be in trouble.. So we figured, why not just get rid of the problem at hand while we have time"

They were going to kill me..

I should've known.

I should've just stayed away and never got involved with Luke.

I only asked him for piano lessons because I knew that they'd end in a really hot make out session.

If only I wasn't so fucking selfish.

I looked up to see that Calum's finger was just grazing the one lever that could end everything in a matter of seconds.

His finger was so itchingly close to the trigger that I could feel my heart beating in my ears.

"So gullible Faith.. He only was nice to you so he could get in your pants. He never actually loved you" I could feel Ashton's hot breath on my neck, sending chills down my spine.

"You were stupid for trusting us, Now look where that's gotten you" Calum spoke, his malevolent grin made this entire situation even worse.

"Calum please.." I croaked out, my voice heavy with its irregular beat

"May the odds be ever in your favor, Faith Mason.. For now it is your turn to rot in this very hallway"

I squeezed my eyes shut preparing for my last moments on earth

He pulled the trigger
