They ate dinner, and then were all walking around when Michael made the horrible mistake of slapping Annie on the ass.
She spun around, and when met with his smirk, was hit with a fierce wave of anger. Standing as still as a statue, she balled her fists in her hands, clasping and unclasping them.
"Annie?" Calum asked. He saw the way she was staring intensely at Michael, the way her lips quivered into a snarl, the way she was shaking ever so lightly. Then, everything dissolved into chaos.
Calum dove towards Annie, grabbing her just as she screamed bloody murder. A plate shattered on the ground, and someone yelped in surprise.
Calum grabbed Annie around the waist and dragged her into their room, trying to ignore her screams and her flailing arms.
Once in the room, he threw her on the bed and quickly closed the door, holding the handle to try to keep her in. "What the hell did you do?" He yelled at Michael.
"I didn't do anything! I don't know what's going on!" He defended.
"He hit her, he slapped her on the butt!" Luke accused.
Ashton ran over and took the doorknob from Calum, bracing himself so there was no way she could open it.
Calum let go, and ran to Mikey, tackling him. "I swear to God, Mikey! Don't ever fucking touch her, don't ever fucking touch her!" He swung his fast back to hit him, but Johanna intercepted, pulling him off.
"Cal, what do we need to do? What do we need to do!"
"Just keep her in there do she doesn't hurt anyone!"
Michael scrambled back, pushing himself up against the wall. He looked terrified. "What is wrong with her, what is wrong with her, what s wrong with her?" He kept repeating.
"Cal," Ashton said, still braced against the door. "You have to get her to shut up! Someone's going to call the police!"
Calum was at a loss. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Whatever you have to." Johanna said, her tone completely serious.
"I'll help," Ashton volunteered.
Calum jogged over to where he was, but Luke grabbed him and pulled him aside, into Michael and Ashton's shared room. "Cal, please don't do this, please don't do this." Luke was scared, scratch that, Luke was terrified. "I don't want her to hurt you."
"She won't hurt me!" Calum tried to push him off, but Luke shoved him against the wall again, harder.
"Yes, she will! Don't do this Cal, it's not safe!"
Calum kept on shoving him, trying to get Luke off. "Luke, get off! I need to help her!"
"Don't do it Calum! If you won't stay safe for you, then stay safe for me." Without Calum's consent, Luke shoved himself forwards, kissing Calum roughly.
Calum didn't kiss back. He instead kicked Luke's shin with such force the boy fell to the floor, gasping as he grasped his leg. Calum stepped over him, running out of the room and through the hallway.
