Protect me - Luke Hemmings Punk

1.7 - Playing my part

I stared at them for a long, long time without moving a muscle. My eyes didn't even tear up. It was like time stopped. I was furious.

"You want to do what?"

They glanced between each other without saying anything. I didn't want the words they had said to be true, but their eyes said otherwise. They showed no weakness or regret at all.

"I'm not okay with this." I said and stood up from my chair.

"See, I told you guys! Do I know my cousin or what?" Michael exclaimed and threw his head back in some kind of anger. I was angry too. You go Michael!

"What other choice do we have? We can't print it on any of us and if we keep Emmy here, nothing bad will happen and the chip will be safe." Ashton said and tried to win Michael over again. But I wasn't going so easy this time. Oh no. You mess with the wrong gal.

"I have to go." I muttered and walked out of the kitchen and slammed the door shut. My blood was boiling.

They wanted to cut me up!

I just got hit by a bullet because of them and they still wanna hurt me even more.

I needed to get out of this hell hole and travel far far away. Longer than I had ever gone before.

Quickly I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. I fished up my phone from my pocket and clicked on the address book. Things are going down boys.

I sat down on the toilet and pulled the handle of the sink up and the water streamed down, creating a noise so no one would hear me through the walls.

"Jenn, Jenn, JENN!" I muttered to myself as I searched through my contacts and found my best friends number.

With a frustrated sigh I placed the phone next to my ear and the ringing tone began playing.

*Beep*  *Beep*

"Hello?"

"Jenn! Oh my god, you have no idea how glad I am to hear your voice."

"Em?! Where have you been??? I've been calling and calling and---"

"I'll explain everything, but first I need you to come get me."

"Absolutely! Are you in Sydney?"

"Well, I'm not really sure."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll get it once you hear the story. I'll text you the location tomorrow, okay? Get ready to drive for a while baby! Bye!!"

"Wait Em---"

I ended the call and turned off the streaming water. Yes, Jenn was going to be my great escape and this time I'll make sure to get the hell out of here for good. Move to Europe if that's what it takes.

"Emmy, come out. Let's talk about this."

I turned around the locker and walked out like nothing had happened. Without even looking back I went to one of the bedrooms and was just about to go inside when someone tugged on my arm and made me spin around.

"Don't tell me you were about to go into Ashton's room." A husky voice hissed in my ear and I didn't even need to look up to know that it was non other than Luke Hemmings.

"Well yes. Yours makes me wanna barf." I said sarcastically and turned around to continue walking inside Ashton's room, but Luke wasn't having it.

He grabbed be around my waist and lifted me up, careful not to touch my wounded shoulder. I took a grip around his forearms to keep me steady.
