Derp Camp

Chapter 12

Sydney's POV:
I was a little nervous to read the note, I mean how many times in a freaking horror movie does this happen? I grabbed it, and sat on my bed. Crossing my legs and putting my hair in a pony tai, I slid the envelope open and pulled the note out.

We can run down the street, with the stars in our eyes. We just gotta get out.

Wow, that was so not what I was expecting. I thought for sure this would turn into some Pretty Little Liars episode. Who the hell would give this to me? What's it mean?
********************
I woke up, and rolled out of bed. Completely face planting onto the ground. I got back up and walked over to the closet, grabbing the closest shirt and pair of shorts there were. My outfit was all over the place, I ended up wearing a shirt that said:
Stressed,
Depressed,
Boy band obsessed.

Odd enough I don't even remember buying this shirt, let alone pack it. My shorts were bright pink, and I wore black on black converse. Lauren's bed was still made which meant she never came in the room last night. Weird.
I practically hopped down the stairs to the kitchen seeing as though I was the only one that hadn't eaten yet. The house was extremely quiet, a little too quiet. To be honest, this house is filled with four boys and ten girls, where's the noise? I grabbed my usual muffin and juice and sat outside. Alone.
Taking out my phone I texted Lauren.
S: where is everyone?!
L: sorry forgot to tell you. We're all down by the beach, except for Luke. He said he'd tell you when you were awake.
S: well he didn't. I'm the only one in the house.

Great, so now supposedly Luke is in the house. I finished eating and went right back upstairs to look for Luke.
"Luke?!" I called approaching our so called 'councillors' hallway. No answer. Then I received another text from Lauren.
L: oh and how could forget?! Ashton stayed behind too! Btw I'm sorry I didn't come back last night. I met up with a..... Friend. We'll talk later.

And by friend she means Michael. Well I'm glad they're getting along great, I never would've put them two together. Interesting.
I approached Ashton's door and knocked on it.
"Ashton, you there?" I said nervously.
"Yeah, we're in here. " he replied. I opened the door and was met with a pair of beat up boys.
"How's life for you?" Luke said as I sat down in between the two of them.
"Well it was going fine up until this point. What happened?" I said looking at them both. Ashton was bruised and had a cut above his eye. Luke on the other hand definitely had a broken nose.
"Calum. " they answered in unison.
"Seriously? Where's he now?" I ask angry and confused.
"At the beach. He has some marks too, but knowing him he probably just covered them." Ashton said while Luke chuckled.
"It's pretty easy for him to cover his. Considering they're..." Luke says looking down.
"Yeah but I clocked him. He has to at least have a black eye. " Ashton said.
"How did this even happen? I thought you two were just gonna talk to him." I say cuddling into the two of them.
"We were, then he through a punch right at my nose. I don't get it, he's never been like this before. Maybe he just needs a bit of a break from the band for awhile. Ashton? Should we call his parents?" Luke says to ash.
"I think it's time he goes back to Australia. Too much freedom, too much fame. " Ashton said.
"Do you think he got the message?" I said concerned.
"Well like I said, I got him good in one area so he probably won't wanna show that off anytime soon. So yeah, I'd say we're good for a couple of weeks. " Luke says nodding in agreement.
"Good. You two don't deserve this. " I say crawling to the other side of Ashton's bed so I'm facing the two of them.
"Do want anything?" I said to them.
"You. " Luke says, I think he was trying to mutter it to himself.
"Ice. That would be amazing. " Ashton said.
"Okay I'll be back. " I said getting off the bed and walking downstairs. I grabbed a bag and walked over to the freezer. I slid the drawer open and grabbed some ice, pouring it into the bag. There was a noise in the other room, putting me on edge. It's probably just the boys though.
Buzz... Buzz...
I picked up my phone and saw Lauren had texted me, yet again.
L:
Warning: Calum just headed back to the house. Be careful.

Great now I have to watch out for a psycho maniac. If he did that to the boys and they're built think about what he'd do to me. I grabbed the ice and made a mad dash to the stairs but someone stood in front of me.
"Where do you think you're going?" Calum asked looking down at me.
"I'm, I'm just bringing I've to Ashton." I say trying to move past him.
"Excuse me. " I said trying to push him out of the way.
"No, you don't. " he said pushing me back. I fell flat on my butt, as ice spilled all over the floor.
"Look what you did. Well?" He said walking close to me.
"Well what?" I said quietly.
"God, you're so stupid. Pick up the fucking ice!" He said angrily. I did what he said, placing every last piece back into the bag. I turned to throw the ice away, walking back over to the kitchen to find the trash can. I through it away and began walking back to the steps, but again, Calum stopped me.
"You could've gone along with it. Like every other girl. But no, you had to go and tell people. What's wrong with you? You're so pathetic. " he said slapping me across the face.
"That's it!" I screamed. I ran from my spot and kicked him square in the crotch.
"Bet that hurt considering Luke did the same thing. " I spat walking away. I ran up the stairs but he grabbed my ankle making me fall chin first down the steps.
"Fuck. " I muttered to myself, being able to taste the blood in my mouth.
"Bet that hurt considering your mouth is filled with blood." He smirked. I sat up in a fetal position, luring him over to me. I looked up at him and spat blood all over his face.
"Luke! Ashton!" I screamed as loud as possible.
"Shut up! You little-" he said grabbing me.
"Put her down!" Luke said from the stairs. Finally it took ya'll long enough. Luke and Ashton both scared off Calum, again leaving us three.
"What's he do to you?" Luke said helping me up.
"Nothing. " I said wiping my mouth.
"Oh please, your mouth says otherwise." He said pulling me back over to him.
"All he did was slap me, and drag me down the stairs. That's it, it's not that big of a deal. " I said shaking out of his grasp and walking over to Ashton in the kitchen.
"That's it, he's leaving. He's going back to Australia. " Ashton said pulling out his phone. I grabbed a glass of water, filling it up with water and walking over to the sink. I rinsed my mouth out and sat with Luke on the couch. He grabbed my hand and began to speak.
"I'm sorry this happened, to you. We should just leave. We could leave at night, I heard the stars here at night are gorgeous. You can even see Venus." Did he leave me the note?
