Unstable lovers

Chapter Twenty-Two

I woke up the next day and decided I would have a lazy day alone since it was a Saturday. I got changed into an oversized asking Alexandria tshirt and some sports shorts and then I made my way downstairs to make something to eat. I made myself some cereal and then decided to go back upstairs to watch 'saw' since it was my favourite film and I hadn't seen it in what felt like forever. I put the DVD into the TV and got back into bed to realax and eat my cereal.

................................................................
I was woken by the sound of the door closing. I assumed it was Daz coming home from football practice so I rolled over and closed my eyes again. A few moments later I heard the sound of glass shattering and Michael screaming coming from the living room and I ran downstairs to see what was going on.  As I ran downstairs I saw the door close and I ran to open it and see who it was. All I saw was a stranger running down the street, barely catching a proper glance of him. I went back inside to see what had happened to my brother.

He was sat in the corner of the room curled up in a ball rocking forwards and backwards.

"Michael?" I say as I begin to walk towards him.

"D...d..don't come any closer!" He says weakly.

I walk up to him and he turns to face me, blood was poring down his head at a fast rate and it was dripping onto his clothes, coating him in red.

"Oh my god!" I say beginning to get scared. "What happened?"

"Someone came into the house with a bottle and hit me." He says quietly

"Michael it's ok they've gone now," I say as I pull him Into a hug, not caring if I got blood on me. "We gotta call he police or an ambulance or both," I say, realising that we could both be in danger. Someone we don't even know us has let themselves Into our house to hurt Michael. It couldn't be anyone we knew because I would have recognised them.

"No call Darren first, they could be after us, he needs to know," he says

"Okay, then he can drive us to the hospital, we can call the police after you've been sorted out," I say as I take out my phone and select Darren's name in my contacts.

I rang Darren and he was back home within ten minutes. We all got into the car and drove to the hospital where Michael was rushed to get checked out because he had started to go dizzy as we arrived.

Daren and I weren't allowed in the room while they were fixing michaels head so we went to go find a vending machine.

"What the hell happened?" Darren asked as we were walking down the hallway.

"I'm not really sure. I was in he upstairs and I just heard the door close. I thought it was you, and then I heard glass smashing and Michael screaming and," I don't get chance to finish my sentance because I begin to cry. Darren pulls me into a hug.

"We're going to find the bastard who did this, I promise," he says reassuringly. Our conversation was stopped by a familiar voice yelling our  names.

"Lilly, Darren!!" Luke yells as he runs down the hallway. I felt awkward because I hadn't spoke to him since we went out together.
"Are you okay?" He says as he looks at me and cups my face In his hands.

"I'm fine it's Michael who isn't,"

"I'm so sorry,"

"How did you know anyway?" I ask him

"I rang him," Michael says as he shakily walks up behind us.

"Oh my god Mikey are you ok, your not feeling dizzy or anything are you?"

"Don't worry about me squirt I'm fine. We can go home now,"

"What about the police?"

"They're gonna arrange to come talk to us tonight at home"

And with that we all set of back to the car to go home.

Later that night the police arrived and we told them everything we knew. They stayed for around 20 minutes to gather all the information they could before they left.

I didn't get a wink of sleep that night, and nor did anyone else. Michael, Darren, Luke and I all ended up going downstairs and staying on the sofas together. We were all so scared that the guy was gonna come back and try hurt us all.
