Because She's Gone||By:IvyG123

15-Please.

{Calum's POV}

I have felt like shit for the past week, I need Michael. I mean I thought the stage accident was bad, but seeing my best friend laying in a hospital bed, a tube going down his throat, tubes shoved in his nose, tubes in his arms. He looked more like a robot then my best friend. I have known Michael since what? year 5? I felt like I had been cut in fucking half. I wanted to kill the ass hole who fucking got drunk and hit Michael! I just want Michael to FUCKING WAKE UP.

"Wake up. Please. Michael, please wake up!" I mumbled quietly squeezing his hand.

"Calum?" I heard Brooke's voice ask from behind me, I then felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. I quickly sniffled and whipped away my tears. "No, no, lovey. It okay, he's gonna wake up. Everything gonna be okay. I promise." she said quickly hugging me from me behind.

"Brooke, I...I...I need to tell you something" I said standing up and turning around, I felt my heart beat in my chest as if it was a rock being thrown around. I clenched my fist, bitting my lip.

"ummmm... okay?" Brooke asked confused.

"You can't tell Luke though." She nodded slightly, furrowing her brows. "Emily, she...she...she isn't in her foster home anymore, she is in a...a...a mental hospital." I stuttered, I looked into her eyes, in her grey eyes. I saw her entire world fall. I saw the color change, the dots in her mind connect. I saw her fall the the ground mentally, but physically be fine. It was as if a dam that was blocking this had just come tumbling down.

I think I saw he heart break.

"Everyone watched me fall apart. Why would't you just tell me?!?!" she said raising her voice, her voice cracking as if she was on the verge of tears.

"Luke... Luke, he didn't want you to know. He was to afraid it would hurt you too much." I stammered, lightly placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Calum, I was dead! I WAS FUCKING DEAD INSIDE! YOU CAN'T HURT A DEAD PERSON! THEY CAN'T FEEL! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!" she screamed, tears brimming her eyes, they were such a sad grey now, like all of the life had been sucked out of her. She blinked and a tear slipped down her cheek, like the first strike of lightning in a storm, but something tells me she has been charging this storm for too long. "fuck you!" she said angrily, then she turned around and ran out of the room. I chased after her, trying to stop her from telling Luke. But by the time I reached the door she was standing in front of Luke.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!! YOU KNEW WHERE SHE WAS! ALL OF YOU KNEW WHERE SHE WAS! YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME! YOU WATCHED ME DIE!! YOU WATCHED ME!!" she screamed, tears rushing down her face.

"What the hell are you talking about!?!" Luke said standing up.

"Emily." she breathed out, Luke shot me a devilish glance, I saw his eyes light up a bright daring blue, flaring with anger.

"Brooke, please just listen to me. You don't understand." Luke said placing his hands on her shoulders.

"What the fuck is there to not understand, LUKE?" she spat narrowing her eyes. "What that she fucking suicidal as hell like me? That she's fucked up? What? LUKE? WHAT IS IT THAT I WOULDN'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND" she yelled pushing his hands off of her shoulders.

"Brooke" Liz gasped.

"THAT'S IT BROOKE YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING! THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY AND YOU FUCK OFF EVERYONE TRYING TO HELP! SO WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND EMILY?! BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCK EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING THROUGH! DON'T FOR A FUCKING SECOND THINK THAT I WASN'T DEAD EVERY DAY HAVING TO HEAR ABOUT HOW YOU HADN'T BEEN PLAYING GUITAR OR SINGING! HALEY, LEAH, KACI, MUM, DAD! WE HAVE HAD TO FUCKING WATCH YOU FALL APART!" Luke yelled back, his Aussie accent thickening, his blue eyes turning harsh like the ocean in a storm. Brooke stood there, tears streaming down her face. Luke had NEVER yelled at Brooke before, he had yelled at Ben and Jack, me, Micheal, and Ashton, Jake, y/n, but never Brooke, he had always treated Brooke like a China doll. The tension in the air was as tight as a fucking tight rope, and Luke and Brooke just happened to be walking along it's fine wire, and someone was going to fall.
