Chapter Twenty-Seven || Hell

Edited

"I'm so excited-- Luke will love his present!" Calum squeals. He presses the small box against his chest, hoping that Luke will remember his birthday was tomorrow. Which he was 100% Luke knew-- Calum was just the worrying type.

"He will, Calum. If not, I will slap him." Ashton smiles as he snakes his arm around Calum's waist. This makes the smoller boy smile.

The two make their way down the sidewalk till they reach a familiar house. This makes Calum smile. He loves the pretty blue tone to the outside of the house.

"Kiwi, shouldn't we do this tomorrow?"

Calum groans at the nickname and shoves Ashton a bit. "I believe in early birthday presents."

Calum nearly drops his present as Ashton stands with shock. Both are frozen in fear as they watch the beautiful house starting to burn down.

"Calum! Come on!" Ashton yelps, grabbing Calum's small hand and rushing towards the house. Ashton almost opens the front door, but it's wooden frame catches fire.

Calum runs to the back of the house to see if there's another door, yet instead he sees Emma running across the back yard.

"Hey! You fucking jerk! Get your ass over here!"

Calum runs towards Emma but she's surprisingly faster than him. She jumps over the fence and makes her way to wherever.

The smaller boy frowns and runs back to the front of the house. A window is open in the front with Luke carrying Michael's limp body on his back.

Ashton helps Michael off Luke's back. His body lightly hits the cement with his head rolling to the side.

Calum gasps at the mark on the side of his head. It's clearly a severe burn, even some parts of his clothes are burning off with little bits of red here and there.

The kiwi starts to panic and runs towards Michael.

"Is he okay?! Is he--"

Luke starts performing cpr, making Calum feel even worse.

"Oh my god MICHAE--"

"Calum!" Ashton yells, "Call 911!"

Calum scrambles for his phone, but can't dial due to his shaking fingers. He starts to cry and everything goes blurry.

The fire gets worse, so Luke does his best to keep far from the house. Ashton stays near the house, helping Calum.

"Hey, hey. I got it," Ashton sighs. He quickly dials 911, telling them all about the situation. Calum runs towards Michael, looking at his stomach which still isn't rising and lowering.

Luke seems to get faster with his cpr, feeling more urgent. Calum kneels next to Michael and looks at all the burns. He frowns and looks back at Luke who has tears running down his face.

Sirens ring in their ears, causing everyone to sigh in relief. The cars pull up and Calum rushes towards them. 

"They're over there! Over there---"

The paramedics run past Calum. Police pull him aside and ask him questions.

"Do you know the cause of the fire?"

Calum gulps and scratches the back of his neck, "There was this girl I know of-- she works at the mall deeper in the city by the name of Emma. I don't know her last name but I saw her running down the back of the yard right when the house caught on fire."

Calum gasps once he feels a hand on his shoulder but once when he hears Ashton's voice, he loosens up.

"The fire started at the back of the house, so it's likely it was her."

The police nod and write down a few things in their notepads, "What's her last name?"

"Luke would know," Ashton sighs, making Calum tense up again.

***

"He's awake?!"

"Surprisingly," the doctor smiles. "You're aloud to see him at this time, also."

Luke stands up quickly, making the doctor nod. She takes him down many halls and up a few floors till they get to a small little room with a white door.

He looks past the open door at the bed in the corner of the room. Happiness fills inside Luke once he sees Michael's pretty pink lips.

Luke makes his way over to Michael. There's a large bandaid covering his whole face and down his waist. This makes Luke have a little pain in his stomach but he tries to stay strong next to Michael.

"Hey baby, how are you doing?"

"Luke?" Michael squeaks, looking at Luke. Michaels smile drops as he touches his left eye.

"Luke..."

Luke gasps and pulls Michael's hand away. "Don't touch it. It looks a little red."

"But-" Michael pauses. He blinks a few times and looks at Luke straight in the eyes. "I can't see out of it."
