Run.

Chapter 2

Michael's P.O.V.
I was in the book store to grab the summer reading book since school starts next week. It's always the best to do it last minute. Imagination and the quality of rushing is at its prime time during this. I grab the book and start to walk to the check out counter, but something- or someone caught my eye. Joe Connor. That must mean Hood and Irwin are here. Dammit. I try to mind my own business, but then I see Hailey Nash. What the hell is happening? I them see Hood walk over to her and grab her wrist and drag her outside. I have to do something, I'll get the book later.

-

Outside I hear them talking, then a smack. That's it. I run and I tackle Hood against the ground. That's what he deserves. "Touch her one time Hood and I'll kill you." And I meant every word I said.
"Nice to see your too Clifford." The sight of him makes me sick. I walk past Hailey grumbling "Let's go kid." She followed and then she stopped me in my tracks when I heard a question I never saw coming. "Why did you do that?" I just stood there. I had no idea what to say. I am the bad boy in the school. Why would I do something like this? I came up with a very bad lie. But it was the only thing I could think of. "Well, maybe I don't like Hood and Irwin's gang s-" She cut me off.
" I'll see you soon, um thanks." She seems mysterious. I have to get to know her.
"But Ha-" Cut off again. I feel sad now. Wait, why am I sad?
"I'll see you around, maybe at school bye." And with that she turned around and started walking. I manage to squeeze out, "Okay, um see you around too." She turned around and then kept walking. She probably doesn't even care. Why do I even care? I need to get a grip on reality

Hailey's P.O.V.
I finally arrived back at my house. Thank God. I go up to my room and set my books on my desk. I go to my bed and drop myself on it(more like bellyflopping on it). Then I realize something. Where's my phone??? I start looking frantically for it, almost like one of those cats that scurry around in the covers in the bed. Yea, that was me. Then with a huge "thud", I was hoping that was my phone and not my phone at the same time since I have hard wood flooring. I hear death music playing in my head. I am surely dead along with my phone. This is it. I must pick him up. A tear reached my eye as I touch my phone. Is this what death looks like? I turn my head and squint my eyes turning the phone over. Is he dead? I look at the screen. Not a single scratch. I've never been so scared in my life. Until I see I have a text from a random number. I take a mad dash out the door to Luke's house. He has to know.

-

"LUKE!!!" I yell out busting through his door. Maybe I should knocked? Oh well, too late. "What?" I think I just woke him up. That's too late also.
"I NEED TO KNOW WHAT NUMBER THIS IS BECAUSE THE PERSON WON'T STOP TEXTING ME."
"Okay, what's the number?"
"AGHH. Why do you always appear out of no where???" He just looked at me weird but I know exactly what he's doing. Then he gave me a smirk. Lil hoe.
"Okay, now let's see the number." I show him the number as we walk to his computer. He starts doing his computer stuff and bam, he knows who it is. I can't even work my iPhone properly and he can hack into practically anything??? I need to step up my game.
"So ugh, I think it's Michael Clifford." Luke looked blankly at me, I looked blankly at him. How did he get my number? This is impossible.
"If I were you I would text him how he got your number."
"Why would I talk to him? He's the school bad boy, I shouldn't talk to him." This dude has took this too far.
"Hailey, you're blushing." Luke chuckled. What no way I am.
"No I'm not Luke stop it." He just kept laughing. Okay I see how it is.
"Okay, bye Luke thanks."
"Text him Hailey. Not running away from people isn't bad." He's still laughing. I'm certainly going to get him back. I walk out his house and then something catches my eye. It's Calum and Ashton. Again? In one day? I go hid in a trash can. They better not find me here. I watch to where they're going. They're heading straight for Luke's house! I text him right away. My phone buzzes again. It's Michael. What do I do? Text him for help? I did the unbelievable and text him for help. We might need back up. But how will he know that I'm in the trash can? Guess I have to text that too. Just great that I have to embarrass myself. Oh well.

Luke's P.O.V.
I don't see why Hailey always runs from people. I'm the only person she hasn't run from. We're like brother and sister. I find it funny when she gets mad. But when she blushed about Michael, I knew they were going to be a thing. She doesn't believe in true love??? Well she has probably found it. But then I get a strange text from her. Something about Calum and Ashton about to come to my house? I head to the door and there they were. "What do y'all want?"
"Where's Hailey?" They seem so tuff but they actually aren't when you think about it.
"I don't know, she just left." I suddenly feel the lights knocked out of me and blood on my lip and nose. "You're lying, now where is she?!" Ashton yelled.
"Look dude you can't come in punching me when I'm telling the truth!" I felt my cheeks getting red and fists clenching. These sob's. I couldn't hold myself back. They want to do something to Hailey. I sprung forward at Ashton and punched him which triggered a fight. 2:1. A ratio in a fight where the bigger team is going to win. I get punched in the stomach multiple times, in the shoulder and in the face two or three times. Right at the moment I need it most, Hailey and Michael show up. I knew she would contact him.
"I SAID LEAVE HAILEY ALONE YOU BASTARDS!" Michael was steaming he took Ashton and Calum out in no time. He was like the hulk. I've seen him mad before, but not this mad. Maybe he likes Hailey or something???

-

While Michael was calling a taxi for the douches, Hailey runs over to me and hugs me. She's never really done this before. This was big. After the taxi took the guys away, Michael and Hailey came inside. I still had blood all over my face and Hailey insisted she clean it up. So there I sat on the bathroom counter, Hailey cleaning up the blood and Michael asking my questions. It was along the lines of "what did they ask" and "that was bold to fight like that". I just nodded and all that. When Hailey was done they both left. What a day. And it's not over yet.
