Just Friends?

Michael:

"Come on man don't lie don't lie to us," Ashton says clearly knowing that I'm not telling the truth. "Why are you interrogating me?" I question trying to change the subject off of me. "Why are you lying when we asked a simple question?" Ashton fires back sassily.

I roll my eyes, not wanting to answer his pathetic question. "Man just tell us the truth, honestly," Calum asks trying to get answers out of me too. "Man it doesn't matter, even if I did like her - which I don't - she would never like me back. I mean, she could do so much better, I'm just .... me. Who would ever like me? Not her, that's for sure," I say, looking out the window of the car.

An awkward silence fills the air, none of us talk until we arrive at Luke's house. I completely forgot that we have band practice today. I don't know how, because usually I never forget anything, but with what is going on recently, I haven't been able to remember what day it is far less whether or not we have band practice.

The boys and I walk silently into Luke's house, usually by now we have ordered pizza and are playing guitar and drinking soft drink, or beer - well, not at Luke's house - but today is different. I guess in the space of about three hours so much has gone on. From getting the call about Annalise being in hospital, to me beating up Kyle. Everything is just been so crazy, and so quick.

That gets me thinking I hope she's okay. I know that her mum is at the hospital, but I'm still worried about her, we left her and Kyle alone. I don't trust him in the slightest and I have seen what he is capable of.

I quickly stop what I'm doing, "I just need to call Annelise's mum to make sure that Anna is okay. I'll be back in a second," I before leaving the room and quickly running off to call and Miranda.

Annalise:

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I ask Kyle, he's actually scaring me so much. "I just wanted to have you all to myself. And now I can," he says with a smirk on his face. He gets up onto the bed and sits on my lap.

"Get off of m-," I don't manage to form my full sentence before Kyle covers my mouth with his hand. He starts rubbing himself onto me. I try to screams but the sound doesn't escape my throat.

Kyle takes his other hand and try's to unbutton my jeans. I try to scream again but suddenly mum walks into the room with her phone to her ear. Her eyes widen. "Get off of my daughter, now!" She yells some of the nurses come in.

Mum says something into the phone but I could hear what it was because of all of the doctors that had come in to get Kyle off of me and drag him out of the room. "This isn't the last you'll see of me!" He yells as he is taken out of my room.

Mum comes running over to me and hugs me. "Darling I'm so sorry. I'm going to get the boys to come back so that you aren't left alone at all while you're here," she says. I shake my head, "no mum, you don't have to do that."

"They insisted," she says simply before sitting down on the chair.

After about ten minutes Michael, Luke, Calum and Ashton all coming running into the room, panting. Michael walks straight over to me and hugs me. I can't help but lose it crying. All of the emotions that I've been keeping to myself spill out. "It's okay Anna, I'm here. He can't hurt you. Don't worry," he whispers soothingly into my ear.

"U-um. Do you think I could talk to Michael alone for a bit?" I ask the boys and mum. Mum nods her head the she walks out with Luke, Ashton and following closely behind.

"What happened between you and Kyle?" Michael asks straight out. "I saw fear in your eyes when he got here earlier."

"When I was at Kyle's apartment earlier, h-he hit me.." I say quietly. I can't believe that I didn't listen to Michael when he told me that Kyle was bad news. If I had. Then I wouldn't be in this position.
