Chapter 13 – Own

MICHAEL'S POV

We could only stare at Calum's dead body. No. This can't be happening. Before I knew it, I was on my knees, my body shaking because of the sobs that escaped my lips. We just got Luke back and now he's the one leaving. How I wish this was all a dream...a nightmare. I felt Ashton's arm snake around me as he held me to his chest. He buried his head into the crook of my neck as I did with mine on his as we continued to sob. What is Luke going to say when he finds out? He's gonna hate us for not watching over, Calum. This is a mess. Everything's a mess.

It's been thirty minutes since Calum's death. And our sobs died down, replaced by occasional sniffles here and there. I swear, we all look like a mess, with tear-tracks visible on our cheeks and red puffy eyes. I laid my head on Ashton's shoulder and just looked at Calum's body.

CALUM'S POV

"You're so stupid." I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around and saw Vicky a good distance away from me.

I smiled. "I just really wanted to visit you, Vicky."

She frowned. "Will you take this seriously? You could've died, you know."

I sigh. "I know."

"So? What did you want from me so badly that you needed to almost kill yourself to come here?"

"Hey, you were the one who told me to swallow the pill!"

"I thought you could handle the power of the pill!"

"I did, I handled it perfectly!"

"No, you didn't, you dumbass! You were coughing blood and your heart already stopped! Your comrades could be crying right now and here you are being stupid, as usual."

"C'mon, Vick! I thought you would help me!"

"Not when you're being this stupid, you dumbass."

I pouted.

"That won't work on me, Calum."

I sigh. "Okay, I'm sorry, okay? I just really wanted to save Brendon and I know taking the pill can help me and before I took the pill I already knew that my comrades can save me."

"You have too much faith on them, it scares me." She replied while rubbing her arms, as if she was feeling a chill.

"Of course. They're my friends." I grinned at her and she sighed.

"So, will you help me?" And I grinned even wider as she nodded her head.

MICHAEL'S POV

The sound of coughing startled us as we all stared at each other but it turned out the source came from Calum itself.

"Oh my gosh, Calum." I immediately pulled myself away from Ashton and helped Calum sat up.

"Are you okay, Calum?" Ashton asked.

We all stared at him waiting for his answer. I observed him and the black tattoo on his face didn't go unnotice by everyone of us.

"I'm back." That's all he said as he stood up, we didn't say a single word as we followed his every move.

"I have to do something." He whispered and before we could utter another word, he was already speeding towards the direction of where the chopper with Brendon on board headed to earlier. Well, atleast he's alive and that's all that matters.

LUKE'S POV

I arrived at the city hall, only traces that people were once here. Tsk. I didn't reach them on time. I continued to scan the area until I noticed a great amount of blood on the ground. What the hell? What happened here? I scan the area for more blood but I found none, but I did find footsteps. I smirked and headed where the footsteps lead.
