Homicide // A.I.

Chapter 34

The thought of Ashton’s father being here and the news of a baby on the way all just stressed me. I had to warn everyone else on the possibilities that could happen while Ashton’s father was here. We were all going to have to get locks on the door and take safety precautions, where there is Ashton’s dad that’s where trouble is. I am so scared of his father; I’m not scared that he could kill me; I am scared of what he could do to the child that is in my stomach. I sent out a text to everyone because they should be warned instead of surprised.

To: Michael, Calum, Luke, Alex, Niall, Liam, Harry, Zayn, and Louis

Hey guys I need you to take precautions, Ashton’s dad is here and you know that means trouble. Be careful and get locks on your doors. Please be careful you know there is trouble coming our way because Ashton’s dad doesn’t visit unless he wants something.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND WATCH YOUR BACKS!

I sent out the text and placed down my phone. I had to look out for them, they were family and I would protect them with my life even if that means putting my life in jeopardy. I turned around and there stood Ashton’s dad in the door way giving me his signature smirk. I stared blankly at him trying not to give him a sign or show fear in my emotions and actions.

“Who were you sending a text to?” He asks well more of a demand with his tone.

“No one just mind your own business,” I manage to say.

“You know it’s not nice to treat a guess like that because I could instantly kill you if I wanted to and I really do want to kill you.” He smirks.

“Leave me the hell alone,” I spit.

“Why should I leave you alone I mean I am going to be a grandpa of that filthy child in your pathetic body,” he glares.

“Just leave me alone,” I spit and grab my phone before storming out.

I went up to my attic as usual because that was the only safe place in this house that he couldn’t get into. In plus now that I got it remodel I could basically live up there. Running up the stairs I run into Luke and Michael when they were about to head out. They thanked me for the heads up before leaving to where ever the two idiots were going.

Once I got up to my “home” I sat at the bed, recently put in with the remodeling, and thought about everything that just happened in the last 24 hours because everything went by in a snap of fingers. I still couldn’t believe that Ashton’s dad was here in the same house as me. It almost felt like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up to and it honestly frightened. But you know what they say it’s calm before a storm or it’s the other way around. I don’t know I’m not sure about it yet. I giggled a bit at my stupidity and realized I can’t fear this man because it’s what he wants. If I show him fear it will only continue I have to be strong and stay calm about the whole situation. This stress was not healthy for me or the little human in my stomach. I smiled at the fact that this was going to happen and that Ashton and I could have a happy ending like in fairy tales. Then again life isn’t fairy tales, you have to lose to gain or else it will never work.

I begin to do yoga instead of training because I think training would be worse for the baby, in my opinion. I have to be healthy and watch what I eat or do because this baby is honestly my life at the moment and nothing will tear this child and me apart.

 [ Michael’s POV ]

Luke and I were going to go out today because we basically stay in all day playing FIFA, and I don’t think that is healthy. In plus we are turning pale instead of getting tans in the Louisiana weather. We were going out to eat at one of the local restaurants because food. Today felt like a good day and I was dying my hair again today, I was going for blue hair now.

We took our seats and looked at the menus. I waited for Luke before calling a waitress over to take our order. She was being quite flirty with Luke and it was weird that Luke was flirting with her back because last time I checked he was dating Melissa but I guess they’re not together anymore.

“What the hell was that,” I ask him once the waitress leaves.

“Uh nothing,” he says rather quickly and gave him the “don’t lie to me” look.

“I’m not joking what happened to you and Melissa?” I ask more interested now about what the hell is going on.

“I don’t know why don’t you ask Melissa why she is cheating on me with Harry.” He manages to say with his voice cracking a little.

“What,” I ask now I sad for this blonde boy in front of me.

“I overheard her and Harry having a conversation about keeping their love a secret, some bullshit like that.” He says.

Before I could reply the waitress comes with our food and hands us each a plate with the food we ordered. She smiled at Luke then just gave me a brief look. This bitch really thinks I care because I really don’t care.

“Listen whatever happens will happen. I’m bummed about it but maybe she isn’t for you if she is going to go behind your back and cheat on you. Maybe someone new and better will come and make your life better and sunny again.” I tell him.

He nods his head and then we eat in silence. I look to the side of me and see the men in black that have been watching us since we got here. I don’t like the idea of them watching us because it just freaks me out. In plus Ashton’s dad is here and you never know they could be working for him. I send Luke a text about it and he looks at me with worry in his eyes.

I sent him another text telling him that we need to go immediately before they make a move. We pay our food and sneak out the restaurant without them noticing. But you know luck isn’t always on our side.

“Where do you boys think you’re going?” One man asks.

“Who the hell are you and what do you want with us?” I ask and shoot them a glare.

“Don’t act tough because you aren’t scaring us. We were here to rough you up by a friend.” Is all the man says before the men start beating us.

I get punched from left right; everywhere I looked a man was trying to attack me. I don’t know what the hell happened but there was a gun shot and the men went running. I looked up to see Luke standing there with a gun but nobody around. He walks to me and puts his hand out and I take it to stand up.

“You okay man,” he asks.

“Yeah I’m fine just roughed up by a couple of hoods.” I joke.

“Whatever lets go home, this is why we never leave the house.” Luke jokes back causing me to burst into laughter before we return home.

Once we get home we see Ashton’s dad on the floor and his stuff being thrown out the house. Not in a bag but each shirt thrown at him and shoes thrown at him with yelling. What could he have possibly done now after what happened in California.

“Never come back here ever again, if I ever see you again I swear on everything I love I will kill you like I did to everyone else!” We hear someone yell.

Finally all his clothes were thrown out and the big glass doors slammed shut. What the hell did we miss while we were gone; I swear all the action happens when we actually decide to leave. We walk into the house and see everything smashed. We step around the glass and walk to the backyard where everyone else was.

“Hey what happened?” I ask.

They all turn to us and we are approached with hugs and we just stand there taken by surprise.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah we were just roughed up by a couple of hoods when we were leaving from a restaurant.” I explain.

“Okay thank god I don’t think I could handle you both being hurt.” Bell says.

“Well we’re fine,” I mumble.

I look to the side to see Luke doge Melissa when she reached for a hug and kiss. I’m glad he wasn’t letting her get to him so much. I have seen Luke broken hearted and it was not a good site, if anything it was depressing to see him that way.
