Michael's pov

Friday

I wake up with a smile on my face. I get to see the boys today. I finally get to talk to Luke because he wouldn't answer any of my calls or texts for the past two days. I get out of bed and run downstairs to see my mom reading through a magazine. I give her a hug and she laughs.

"Why, aren't you happy today" She says as she pulls away. I kiss her forehead and grab a water bottle from the fridge. I run upstairs and get changed. I change into a Metallica shirt and my black ripped jeans. I grab my grey jacket. I brush my hair and put on a black snapback on top of my lilac hair. I slip on some bracelets and go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and put on deodorant. I go back into my room and put on my black boots. I run downstairs and grab my moms hand. I run out the door and to the car. My mom starts laughing.

"You guys only been separated for two days" she says as she opens the car. We hop in and drive to a old school diner called, Malcolm's. We arrive and I see Ashton and Calum's mom's car. I hop out and run inside. Ashton and Calum run over and give me a hug. We smile as we sit down. I look around as I felt something was missing. Something was wrong. Luke wasn't here.

"Guys where is Luke" I asked. They look at each other and shrug.

"He never misses our annual brunch. He is usually the first one here" I say getting worried. My mom puts a hand on my arm.

"He'll be here. He probably just overslept" My mom said.

"But he didn't even respond to my messages or calls" I say, my legs bouncing up and down. My mom looks at Anne and Holly. We all get up and rush out of Malcolm's, our brunch cancelled. We all drive to Luke's house. My mom and I get there first and hop out. Ashton, Calum, and their moms get to his house and Ashton, Calum, and I go inside. We told our moms to stay outside. We walk inside.

"I'll check his bedroom, Calum check the living and dining room, and Michael check the basement" Ashton says and we nod. We all split up to our places Ashton told us to go to. I go to the basement and open the slightly broken door. I walk down the steps to the dark abyss. I flick on the light switch and start to search. I feel something slippery on the bottom of my boot as I walk. I look down to see blood. My eyes widen and they follow the follow the track of blood to a shut door. I walk over to the door and reach out for the door handle. As soon as I touch it, my hand retracts as I feel a warm substance on my hand. I look down to see more blood. I swallow the lump in my throat and open the door. It completely dark until I flip on the light switch. I look inside and my jaw drops at what I see. Its Luke in the corner of the room drenched in blood with bruises and cuts everywhere.

"LUKE" I scream and run over to him. I sit down next to him and start crying. I move his hands away from his stomach only to see a huge stab wound going from his chest to his stomach. I take off my jacket and press it to his wound. I hear footsteps run downstairs and into the room. I hear two gasps but don't pay any attention to it.

"Michael, what happened" Calum said as they sit down next to me. They take off their jackets and press them on the wound too.

"Call the police, hurry" I said as I pressed harder. Ashton hurries and calls. He then calls his mom and tells her what is happening. I hear a whimper and I look down to see Luke's eyes open slightly.

"Luke, what happened" I asked sniffling. Luke looks at his stomach and has a look of panic written on his face.

"W-where's my m-mom? Is s-she o-okay" He asked softly. I kiss him softly and look into his eyes.

"I don't know where she is Lukey. What happened" I asked again as I run my thumb across his cheek. He looks at us and starts to breathe heavily. His eyes start to close.

"No no no, Luke, baby you need to keep your eyes open" I said as I held his head up. He looks at us and I start to hear sirens.

"Baby they're almost here, okay. Please try to keep your eyes open" I said but they're almost fully shut.

"Remember that I love you guys" Luke says.

"Baby you're gonna live. I promise" I said. Luke weakly grabs my hand kisses it.

"I will always love you" He says. Calum pushes harder to stop the blood. I look up as I hear the sirens right outside the house.

"See baby, you're gonna be alright" I said looking down at him. But when I looked down, I didn't see any eyes staring back at me.

"No, Luke wake up" I yelled, shaking him. Tears kept pouring down my face. I hear the paramedics run down the steps and come into the room. Ashton pulls me back from Luke so the EMTs can help him. I start crying into Ashton shoulder as they carry Luke out of the room. He helps me up and we walk upstairs. We head outside and our moms run up to us. They embrace us in hugs as we sob into their shoulders. Our mom brings us to Anne's car, since she has the biggest and can fit us. We drive to the hospital quickly. On the drive, Ashton wraps his arm around me and I cry into his shoulder. Ashton has always been the dad of the group. As soon as we park, Ashton, Calum, and I run inside. I run up to the front desk. The lady looks startled.

"Where is Luke Hemmings" I yell at her. Calum put his hand on my shoulder as to say calm down. I take a deep breath as the lady searches through her computer.

"Um Luke Hemmings is on floor 5 in room 96. He is in critical condition" She says with a sad smile. I nod and run to the stairs. The elevator would take to long and test my patience. I run up the flights of steps and get there before Ashton and Calum because they took the elevator. I run down the halls until I find 96. I finally find it and I wait for Ashton and Calum to come up. I see them run down the hall trying to look for Luke. They run over to me as they catch sight of me. They look at me and nod at the door handle. I open the door and walk in. I gasp at the sight of Luke. He has a long cut going from his forehead to his lip. He has a lot of bruises and cuts around his face and arms. The huge cut on his chest and stomach. I walk over and sit down next to him. I take his cold hand in mine and kiss it. My eyes start to tear up again. I rest my head on his hand as Ashton and Calum come over. I hear the door open and look up to see his doctor. He gives us a sad smile as he closes the door.

"Hello boys, how are you holding up" he says as he starts to check his clipboard. I look at Luke and shake my head.

"Can you tell us what is wrong with him" I ask and look at the doctor again. He nods.

"Luke has a sprained ankle and wrist. He also has a broken knee. We had to give him stitches for his stomach and chest. Luke has four broken ribs and severe bruising. He also has a minor concussion and he has a long cut on his back." He says and I start crying again.

"I know there is more to that" Ashton said as he looked at Luke then the doctor,

"What aren't you telling us" he says and the doctor sighed.

"On the ride here, Luke almost didn't make it. He died for 8 minutes. They almost gave up until they felt a very faint pulse. They got him here and did everything they can. Luke is in a coma and has a 30% chance of making it because of blood loss. I'm sorry, I'll give you some time with Luke" He says then leaves. A knock was at the door and our parents came in. They run over to us and hug us.

"What happened Michael" My mom asked. I didn't give her an answer just cried into her shoulder harder.

"Calum what happened" she asked. He sighed and looked at her.

"Luke is in a coma and has a 30% chance of living" He says as he hugs his mother tighter. They all start crying. Even though Luke isn't their son, they treat him as one. And if something happens then everyone gets taken down.
