Grenade

Chapter 16

He was standing in the doorway with a black beanie on leaving a few bits of his purple hair sticking up out of the front.

"Into hats now ?!" I said hugging him before he grabbed my hand and pulled me around the corner and up the stairs to an apartment door.He swung open the door and quickly locked it before putting a chair under the door handle so it couldn't be opened.

He closed the curtains a little more than they already were and he got me and pulled me into the kitchen and shut the door and kept it closed by leaning on it.

"What the fuck are you doing here? I'm glad to see you but your getting yourself into something that you don't want to."For once he sounded worried , usually he's always calm about this stuff , today he's definitely not.

"Come and stay at mine , I can't leave you here." I said trying to find somewhere to sit other than the work top.

"Grace , I can't. Ashton wants me gone and I can't stand being away from you but this is for the best. He likes you and he knows I won't let him get anywhere near you, that's why he wants me gone."

Michael said with panic spreading across his face."Get in here and hide under the bed , screw the clothes up and make it look like your not here!" he almost threw me in here.I bundled the jeans and t-shirts and made a wall from me all around the bottom of the bed.There was a knock on the door and I held my breath and shut my eyes tight.

The door opened.I could hear muffled voices and footsteps before furniture got thrown around a bit.

"She's not here , she can't drive and why would she want to come all the way out there at this time." Michael said.

"Luke look in the bedroom, If I find out she's here your dead. Got that ?".

The door swung open and hit the wall. This luke person , whoever he was , almost ripped the room apart from what I heard but then it went silent and the piles of clothes under the bed started moving...
