-Michael's POV-

At Luke's words I nuzzle myself further into Calum's hold trying to gain any protection I can. The tears flow freely as I look away from Luke; I don't want him seeing me sob like this, it's too embarrassing right now. Calum does the opposite of what Luke asks and instead tightens his grip on me.

"What the hell did you do to him?" Calum growls at Luke and I chance a look at him.

He looks beyond furious.

"What do you mean?! First of all, it's none of your business and second of all, I didn't do anything!" Luke protests and his chest heaves with frustration.

"Have you seen his wrists? Of course you did something to him!" Calum shouts back and I sob once again as the memories of last night fill my head. I don't know why I had told him I was proud. I was scared as hell and everything hurt so I clearly wasn't thinking right. I mean, I was proud of him in a sense because he did stop but he only stopped after he saw how much pain I was really in.

"Stop touching him!" Luke yells at Calum but he refuses as he holds me in a death grip.

"No." Calum says lowly.

"Don't test my fuçking patience. Let Michael go and we'll pretend this never happened."

I have to say, I'm quite surprised at how well Luke is trying to be calm. Normally I would have assumed he'd have punched the guy by now.

"He's hurt and you're the one who caused him pain so how about you back off and we pretend this never happened." Calum says back, repeating Luke.

I don't dare look at Luke right now and instead I keep my head buried into the crook of Calum's neck. I almost calm down for a moment when I inhale and smell Calum's scent. His cologne is somewhat woodsy and I feel as if I'm surrounded by a large forest that's protecting me from all of my problems.

"Michael, baby." I hear Luke say quietly. I still don't look up so I try to focus on Calum's scent more than Luke's voice because honestly I feel so abused right now that I can bare to face him.

"Luke, I think you should go." Calum commands more so than suggesting.

"No, he's not your fuçking boyfriend, he's mine." Luke tries to say harshly but it comes out more broken than anything.

"Baby, please." he seems to beg but I refuse to look up. I do speak, however.

"I think you should go." I say so quietly I'm not even sure if Luke heard me but a sharp intake of breath tells me that he did.

"What?" he asks in a scared voice.

"I think you should go." I repeat a little louder this time.

"Please don't do this to me." Luke pleads but I shake my head quickly and Calum rubs my back soothingly.

"I thought you were okay." Luke whispers and I only shake my head again.

"Why-"

"Because I was scared." I cut him off. "I didn't want you to hurt me anymore." I feel my chest pound with sadness and silent tears roll down my face.

"Baby-"

"Please go." I beg him quietly. I don't think I've ever heard Luke sound so timid and afraid in his life.
