Chapter four:

Once my feet were about to touch the ground I hide my wings and made a run for it. I ignored my friends' pleas to stop and wait for them. The police could've already grabbed hold of Luke and I would be too late.

As soon as the picture flashed on the screen I told Michael that we had to come get him. Michael agreed of course and bought Calum Lian and Ashton along with us. I just hope we're not too late.

I start to slow my run once I see the mob of people. They were all surrounding Luke as if he was a rabid animal on the lose, or maybe a dangerous circus act. I grasp the pendant of my necklace and stand on my tippy toes hoping to catch a glimpse. However, I felt Calum's hands around my waist as we flew up in his platform. I saw the mob of people urging the police on as they point and prod at Luke with guns.

One policeman, however, was holding a sicky stick. It was one of those sticks that when they hit you will make you sick and vomit and weak and it'll make it easier for them to catch you. Calum drops me in front of the mob's barriers and I took a run for it. The rest of the gang was following closely behind. The police man raised his stick and I drop myself in front of Luke hugging him to my chest. "Stop!" I yelled.

The man's stick stopped mid air and I pant. "Angel?" I hear Luke weakly ask.

"Don't hurt him." I said and the policemen only scoff.

"Get lost lady. You're protectin a serial killer." One of them said.

"No you leave him alone! He's not a serial killer." I argue.

"Stop this." The police man with the stick said and raised it up again in the air, as if he was about to hit me. The stick went down at record speed and I close my eyes waiting for it to hit me.

But it didn't.

I open my eyes and see all the people frozen in their stance. All but me, Luke, Michael, Calum, Lian and Ashton. They looked around also wondering.

I look back at Luke and see how his mouth was surrounded by blood. Of people, I presume. I caress his cheeks and sigh, burying my head in his chest "you scared the crap out of me."

Luke just dazedly looks at me.

"I can't hold them for long you know." I heard Harry say. He was flying mid-air, his wings flapping in a mild rhythm as he held his hand up "if you're gonna leave you better make it quick."

I help Luke up and Calum carries him on his back. And we were off.

❁❁❁

"Is he okay?" I asked the doctor once he got out of Luke's room.

"He said he wants to be put in a cage. And is very insistent upon that request. So insistent in fact, that he was thrashing around the room and we had to put him in tranquilizers." The doctor said "but other than that, he's fine. The tranquilizer will fade out. He should be able to wake up soon."

"Well can I come see him?" I asked biting my lip. The doctor just gives me a nod.

"Of course, but one at a time please." He said, fixing his doctor's bag "well, I must be off. Call me if anything else occurs."

I nod and sigh, rubbing my arm. I was so tired and have been staying in the hospital for about five hours now. The doctors didn't want to let me in, and Michael Calum and Ashton have been coming in and giving me food and clothes for me to change in.

I twist the doorknob and push the door open. I see Luke peacefully sleeping on the hospital bed, the nurse dabbing a cloth around his face. I look at the basin and see a red tinge. The nurse was cleaning off blood from Luke's face.

The nurse's head turns to me and she blushes, clearing her throat. "He's fine now. Please push the button if ever you need any assistance."

She takes the basin with still very rosy cheeks and leaves the room. I roll my eyes and walk over to Luke's bed.

His eyes were closed and he was breathing evenly. I drag a chair near his bedside and sit, letting my hands caress his cheeks and smoothing his hair away from his forehead. I hold his hand in mine and sigh, deciding to get some good night's sleep since I know Luke is safe.

"What are you doing here?" I was awoken by Luke shaking me and asking me a question. I groggily rub my eyes, hoping to remove the sleep in them.

"What do you mean?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"You know what I mean. Why aren't you out there fucking Harry?" Luke asked harshly and suddenly I was awake.

"You know, huh." I said biting my lip.

"Of course I knew. I felt it." Luke said, his face screwing in pain "it hurt."

"Luke you have to understand." I whispered "you were dead. I was an emotional mess. My feelings were all over the place and I didn't know who to cling to. Harry came along and somewhere along the way I had feelings too and just, things like that don't fade quickly."

"It hurt, Angel." He whispered, his fists clenching "it hurt. And I didn't know what to do. I- I became a monster. You- you shouldn't be here, I could kill you and- and-"

Luke's heart monitor started to beep insanely fast and I stood up, pushing the red button. Then, I take Luke's face in between my hands and look at his grey eyes. They were swarming with panic and so much emotion.

"Hey, hey, look at me." I said "calm down, breathe. You're not a monster, you never were, you were just agitated. Shh, its okay."

The nurses come in the room and kindly asked me to leave. I nod and let Luke go, letting the nurse drag me out of the room.

❁❁❁

I bite my lip and pace around the hallway, impatiently waiting for the doctor to come out and give me some news. I immediately called Michael, Calum and Ashton over, explaining the case. They still won't shut up about me sleeping with Harry.

"Wait, what?!" Ashton exclaimed as I told him the news "what do you mean you slept with Harry?"

"Are you serious?!" Michael said "that would hurt Luke a whole lot, you two bear a mark, and if you sleep with someone else pain will be transmitted."

Those weren't the only things they said, but now they've shut up and is also waiting on some news about Luke.

The doctor cleared his throat as he exits the room "he said he wanted to talk to a Calum? And to not let anyone else in."

I felt my heart start to shatter as I sit down on the hospital chair, letting my knees touch my chest as I bury my face in it, sighing. Calum taps on my shoulder, I look up and he sends me a reassuring smile. "I'll let you know how it goes."

I just nod at him and force a small smile before he enters the room.

It felt like hours before Calum went out again. He sighs and looks at me, biting his lip. "Angel uh, Luke told me he'll go and live with me for a while." He said and I felt a tear fall down my cheek and I immediately wipe it away.

"Uh, why?" I asked.

"He said he needed to be alone, for a bit." Calum said "sorry. Said he isn't ready to see you yet."

I nod and exit the hospital, ignoring Michael's or Ashton's calls and running home.
