Infatuation (Muke)

"You mean stalking?"

"mum, what are they doing here? what did you tell them?"

~~

Luke swallowed the lump in his throat and his voice became shaky
"S-sorry Mike, we just came to see h-how you and your mum w-were"

Michael looked unaware of what was going on and looked around awkwardly "I'm good?"

Karen looked at him sadly "M-Michael your father.. he died last night"

Michael stood there and turned his eyes to Luke then Calum and back to his mom and shrugged "Oh, that sucks"
then continued looking around the room awkwardly. "Well I'm going down to my room, thanks for checking up on me guys but I'm good" then headed downstairs.

Luke whispered to Karen "are you gonna be okay?"

She nodded and then the two boys left, getting on their bikes and getting as far away as possible before stopping at a bench.

"Holy fucking shit dude, Michael is a psychopath!"

Luke breathed heavily and looked around at the ground with wide eyes "W-what should I do? You heard her, she said he's 'fond' of me and something about me being his next victim, what the fuck does that mean?! Is he gonna kill me?!"

Calum grabbed his phone quickly "Not if we call the police"

Luke snatched his phone out of his hand, jumped up and yelled "AND TELL THEM WHAT? MY EX BOYFRIEND IS A KILLER?! WE HAVE NO PROOF"

Calum stood up beside him "I don't know! Michael wants to hurt me way more than he wants to hurt you, remember the time he told me to watch my back?"

Luke started pacing around by the bench "If Michael wanted to kill you he would've done it by now"

Calum grabbed him by the shoulders "Michael is a psychopath not an idiot! If he wants to kill me, he probably has some big mastermind plan on how he's gonna do it and not get caught"

Luke passed Cal his phone back and shook his head "I have to go home, you go home too and lock all your doors and DON'T tell anyone about this yet, okay?"

Calum took a deep breath "Okay, but if he knows that we know about him, then I don't know just don't meet up with him or anything please"

Luke jumped on his bike and agreed "Yes I know, I'm not an idiot either" then petaled away.

As soon as Luke got home he ran to every room in the house locking all the windows, he went into his room and laid under the covers trying to process everything that happened earlier.

Why me? why does Michael want me as his next victim? I thought he loved me.. was it all just an act?

He felt literally sick to his stomach thinking about it, he wanted to vomit but held it in. He was too scared to cry and be hurt or be angry, his life could be in danger and he had no idea what to do.

He laid there imagining what Karen told him, rethinking everything she said over and over. He felt like he was gonna go crazy because his mind wouldn't shut off.. until he finally dozed off to sleep at 9pm.

"Luke, wake up"
a familiar voice spoke.

He felt a stinging pain in his neck and felt really cold, there were no blankets over him and he was lying on a cold floor. His eyes shot open but everything was blurry and his head was spinning
"Who-where I am?"
