Chapter 4

Becky's P.O.V

I sat in silence as I stared at my almost finished coffee.

Derek leaving me alone was unexpected but at the same time expected. Who would want to be friends with me? I mean Michael himself doesn't seem to enjoy being friends with me anymore, let alone Derek.

I sighed and looked around the cafè.

There's not much people in here, surprisingly because I mean, it's Starbucks, it's usually pretty packed. I guess it's because it's a weekday, I don't know.

I looked over to the entrance door, watching a group of teenagers coming in, laughing as they're doing so. How I wish I had a clique like that, always laughing and joking around.

I snapped out of my thoughts and decided to just go home. There was nothing interesting about this place anyways.

I stood up from my seat and walked towards the door, not bothering about my less than half filled coffee. I pushed the doors open and continued walking for a few seconds before I heard a few voices. Familiar voices.

I looked over to the direction of the voice and saw Derek but he wasn't alone. He had a group of people surrounding him.

Michael, Calum, Ashton and Luke.

Michael was all up in Derek's face and he was holding onto Derek's collar. Something's not right.

"What the hell is going on? What are you doing here?" I asked the boys, furrowing my eyebrows as I walked quickly towards them.

"Get out of here. Now." Michael said through gritted teeth, still looking at Derek.

"No, Michael. I want to know-"

"I said NOW." Michael exclaimed, looking at me furiously.

I jumped at his sudden outburst and looked over at Calum, hoping for an answer but he just kept quiet.

I got even more impatient and came in between Michael and Derek. I shoved Michael's hands away from Derek's collar and Derek took a few steps back after he was released.

"Can you explain to me why are you here and what the fuck is going on? I want an actual answer now!" I exclaimed to Michael and Derek angrily, but mainly to Michael.

"He saw me in Starbucks and stormed up to me and practically dragged the fuck out of me for no reason!" Derek exclaimed.

"For no reason? Are you fucking serious?" Michael said angrily through gritted teeth as he started walking towards Derek, getting ready to beat the shit out of him but Ashton, Calum and Luke stopped him as I defended Derek.

"We jolly well know that you're up to something! You're gonna put Becky in a shit load of mess like you always do to people, you fucking little prick!" Michael spat at Derek.

"Michael!" I exclaimed before he squirmed out of Ashton, Calum and Luke's grasp.

"We need to go." He said, grabbing my arm tightly and walked towards Ashton's car, bumping into Derek's shoulder really hard while doing so.

I was trying so hard to get out of his strong grasp but I couldn't, he was way too strong.

After a few attempts of the boys (mainly Calum, Ashton and Michael) trying to get me in the backseat, they succeeded and Ashton started driving.

I am so pissed with them, especially Michael. He's yet to explain to me what the fuck just happened.

The whole car ride was silent. I was at the backseat with Michael and Calum. Calum was sitting in between us, probably to prevent us both from yelling at each other. I could feel Ashton looking at me a couple of times through the rear view mirror but I continue to look out of the window.
