Thirty-five

Calum's POV

I held onto Ashton as he looked through the crack of the door. I swallowed a lump In my throat and nervously bit my finger nail.

"No ones there," He whispered.

I slowly nodded but jumped back when hearing a big crash. I gasped and scooted as far away from the door as possible. I clamped my hand over my mouth and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to keep my breathing calm and steady.

Ashton turned toward me. He grabbed my hands and squeezed them. "Calum," I shook my head repeatedly as tears formed in my eyes. "Calum!" He whispered, a little bit louder, so I jumped and stared at him, my eyes filled with fear.

"I'm going to open the door, and when I do, I'm going to jump at whatever the hell is in there and then you run."

I shook my head and clutched onto his arm. "N-no! You're gonna die!" He smiled and caressed my cheek. I kept on pleading but soon enough, Ashton's hand was on the door knob.

"No," I cried as I watched him open the door slowly.

It was all silent. I stared at Ashton's back for awhile but seconds later my eyes drifted to the outside of the closet and my eyes widened.

I screamed and began to sob hysterically. Two chairs were sat side by side, and a man with a knife stood beside the two chairs.

My eyes drifted to the right of the room and my heart stopped. Michael and Luke sat in the corner of the room shaking and trembling.

They were both covered in blood and bruises. Luke was crying while Michael just glared at the man. The man still didn't move a muscle.

Ashton was the first to speak. "W-who are you?" The man stayed quiet. "Excuse me! He just asked you a question!" Michael snapped at the man.

The man began to laugh slowly. He started to scrape the knife he was holding onto the wall as he slowly walked toward Luke and Michael.

I wanted to scream at the man, to let my anger and sadness out, but my mouth wouldn't open.

I watched in suspense as the man came closer and closer to the two. When the man was about a feet away from them Michael put an arm in front of Luke protectively and glared at him.

"Do not touch him!"

I nearly awed at how cute they were but then realised how serious this situation was.

"Well, what are you gonna do If I do?" The mans voice was like sand paper.

Michael went to punch but the man grabbed his fist and began to turn it slowly out of its socket.

I gasped as Michael hissed in pain. Seconds later, the man roughly let go of his fist and pushed him into the wall.

Just as Michael collided with the wall the man grabbed Luke and held the knife to his neck.

I sprang onto my feet and ran toward the man. I gasped and right before my hand grabbed the knife, the man sliced the knife across Luke's neck.

I screamed and swung my fist at the man. Michael cried and ran over to Luke's body, Ashton stood there, watching as the scene unfolded.

I punched, kicked, and screamed until the man laid dead on the floor, right in front of me.

I panted and stared at the bloody man, not even wanting to look behind me where my dead best friend laid.

I could hear Michaels cries and Ashton's quiet words that were not meant to be heard.

After a few minutes I finally got the courage to turn around. I slowly looked behind me and stared at Luke's face.

He looked so peaceful. Like, he was asleep. But, I knew he wasn't asleep.

He was dead, and there's no way he could come back to life
