"what was so important that you couldn't tell me over the phone?"

michael frantically paced back and forth in chloe's dorm, shutting the blinds and turning off the lights. chloe gave him a weird look, along with zayn, who was sitting shirtless on chloe's bed.

"i did something really bad. really fucking bad," michael peeked outside of the blind and turned to chloe, who was sitting next to zayn.

this was zayn's first time meeting michael, and he could see why chloe was so interested in him. keyword was.

"what happened? you know i'll help you," chloe smiled.

"you can't help me with this, chlo. i-i did something and now you're the one who's in deep shit," michael panicked.

zayn stood up and balled his fists, "what do you mean?"

michael took a deep breath before glancing from zayn to chloe, who was visibly scared. michael didn't want any of this to happen, he just wanted to be with chloe, but he defiantly ruined his chances now.

"chloe told me about your situation with naughty boy and i just.. i wanted to be with her so i.. i told the police about what was happening and-"

zayn grabbed the collar of michael's shirt and slammed him against the wall, "you're the one who snitched on shahid? you piece of shit! do you know how much drama i've been having to deal with because of your stupid little crush?"

"how am i in danger?" chloe spoke up.

"naughty boy's guys know it was me who snitched and they came to my apartment. i don't know how the fuck they found my address but they threatened to beat me up if i didn't tell them where you lived. i panicked so i told them. they're on their way here now."

zayn punched michael in the stomach and dropped him to the floor. michael covered his face and cried out in pain when zayn kicked him in the same exact spot. chloe rushed over and pulled zayn away, "there's no fucking time to beat him up!"

michael slowly sat up, trembling, "i'm sorry. i'm so so sorry."

"fuck your half-ass apologies. chlo, pack your stuff and hurry up. i'm taking you to niall's."

and so chloe began throwing her things into an old backpack while zayn threw michael out of the dorm. by the time they left, they spotted a black van in the school parking lot. zayn told chloe not to look, so she didn't, but she was terrified to say the least. she thought michael was a nice guy but apparently she was wrong if he was putting her in danger like this.

niall was ecstatic to hear that november was coming back the next day. he found it awkward that her mother now knew about their sex life, but he thanked the lord mr. rivera didn't, because he would have been a goner by now.

sophia sat on the hardwood floor and painted her nails while liam helped niall dust the apartment. it wasn't dirty, but it wasn't clean, either. usually november would clean but since she wasn't there, niall wanted to clean up so she wouldn't have to worry about it when she got back.

"are you excited for your lady to be back in your arms?" liam sprayed the windows with windex and wiped them off with a paper towel.

"of course i am. are you excited to meet my lady?"

sophia blew onto her wet nails and grinned at niall, who was dusting the fan, "of course we want to meet the woman that has made you happy for the past couple of months. is that even a question?"

before niall could answer, the buzzer to the apartment went off. niall stopped what he was doing and let the person in, assuming it was either michael or zayn. most likely michael, though since he always forgot his keys.
