7. Planning

Ashley p.o.v

As I held the letter in my hands Calum entered the room with a worried look.

"Jesus, Ashley I thought something happened. Where is Luke?" I look at Calum with my watery eyes.

I instantly see him get more worried.

"Luke is gone. Someone....took him." I hand Calum the letter.

When he's done reading it, he has a furious yet sad look.

"They killed my mom! Why! How am I death to you!" Calum ran out as he cursed under his breath.

I runned after him trying to catch up.

I saw Calum in the kitchen trying to hold his temper.

"Calum. I won't leave you. I don't care what my mom said about you. Just as much as you hate my parents, I hate them too."

Calum then looses it and starts to cry furiosuly.

"They have no idea how much in need of my mom I am. She was my hope for everything. I loved her and they took her away from me. And the worse is that my dad never cared."

I go towards Calum and hold him in my arms. Calum reaches down my back and hugs me hard making his tears come out more.

I close my eyes and hold him in my arms.

I'm trying to stay strong so bad I feel any second I'm going to break down and never come back again.

Luke's p.o.v

When I wake up I'm tied up in a bed.

The pain in my head is terrible. The walls around me are dark and the smell is terrible.

It then hits me that I was kidnapped, and they took me to a place I might end up dying.

"Luke. My son." I snap up. I hear a voice I haven't heard in years.

The voice that was soothing when I was in need.

The voice that always told me to stay strong.

The voice that sang to me when I was little.

The voice that I missed terribly.

"Mother?" Tears start to fall down my eyes.

"Its me darling. But you are in trouble with mommy. You didn't take good care for your sister. Sadly we need to kill her. I'm so sorry." The words consumed into my head.

This is not my mother.

This is not the women that showed love to me, this is a monster saying that she will kill her own daughter. My mom then appears in the light. She still looks young. She cut her hair in a short length. She's skinnier now, and has a lot of tattoos. "What he hell happened to you, mom? Or should I call you that when you are planning to kill your own daughter!" Anger fills through me making me hate her.

"Luke. I need to kill her for my and your father's protection. Oh, and Calum will die too. I'm sure you will understand one day. I don't think I will need to kill you. I'm sure you will keep your mouth shut. I love you son." In this moment all I want to do is choke this women.

"I hate you. You are someone else. A mother would sacrifice herself for her children. I would even sacrifice myself for my sister. I do actually love her. Something you need in your life." My mom then slaps me making my cheek sting.

"I'll make sure you get first row seats to watch their deaths." Her cold words come out as if they were nothing.

Calum p.o.v

I'm absolutely worried for Ashley.

She berly eats.

I know she's hurting badly. I'm trying really hard for her to stay strong, but I'm trying my hardest for her to feel at least a bit better.

"Ashley, I'll be back I'm going to see the boys. I'll be back as soon as I can. I love you" I say. She nods and goes back to sleep.

"Well look who decided to show up." Michael says as he gives me a hug.

"You ready to rock on?" I hear Ashton say through the microphone.

"I need to talk to you. Luke is missing. My dad is a stupid dealer. A lot of shit is going on." I say.

I see Ashton and Michael look at each other as if they knew already.

"We know. We know everything. We know where Ashley's parents are. We know." Ashton says as he walks towards me.

"Luke told us. He told us everything. We knew the real reason. You are a danger to her Calum. They will kill her." Anger fills me.

My own friends are telling me that because of me Ashley will die.

"Great! My own friends telling me bullshit! I would give my life for Ashley. You guys know that is what I need. I lost Abigail, alright! What else you want me to loose?" Tears start to fall down my eyes.

I crouch down on the floor trying to forget the flashbacks of that night Abigail was put on a comma.

Her body collapsing down to the floor. Blood everywhere. And my heart shattering.

"We never said we wouldn't help Calum." Michael says.

"We will help, but we need to get ready with weapons and we need a plan." Ashton says.
