different • bryce hall & mikey barone

chapter 28.

*KAYLA POV*

i woke up at 2:30 am so i wouldn't be late for my flight.
i finished getting ready , grabbed my carry on bag , & called an uber to the airport.
once i got to the airport , i heard the first call for my flight & i ran as fast as i could.
im so anxious & i just want to fix everything.
mikey's a mess & doesn't even know it ...
i gave the lady my ticket & got on the plane.
"17A ... 17A," i muttered , looking for my seat.
i finally found my seat & sat down.
thinking i had the whole row to myself , a very cute guy comes by & sits next to me.
hell to the fuck yeah.
we kept glancing & smiling at each other , but no words were said.
i looked out my window before takeoff.
( hahaha takeoff from migos ? lmao i hate myself )
"hi , im nathan," i heard the guy say.
i turn around & smiled at him.
"im kayla," i replied , shaking his hand.
"sooo why are you going to orlando ?" he asked.
"oh , uhm just to go see one of my friends. what about you ?" i asked.
"oh yeah ? me too," he replied.
for the next couple of hours , nathan & i began to talk & get to know each other better.
time flew by real fast & i was already in orlando.
i texted tyler that i landed.
nathan & i walked out of the plane together until he had to go the opposite way to go meet his friend.
we exchanged goodbyes & hugs & went our separate ways.
( lmao why am i acting like they won't ever see each other again )
i waited outside of the airport until tyler arrived to pick me up.
a black car pulls up in front of me & then i see tyler get out from the back seat.
"TYLER !!" i screamed.
"KAYLA !!" he screamed back , running to hug me.
"here , give me your bag," he commanded , grabbing my carry on bag.
before i got into the car , i heard somebody yell out my name.
i turned around to see nathan running towards me.
"nathan ?" i questioned.
"k-kayla ... i forgot to ask ... can i get your number so we can ... talk or hang out sometime ?" he huffed , out of breath from running.
"oh yeah , sure," i replied.
he hands me his phone & i put my number in it.
"thanks," he said.
i nodded & got into the car.
"oooooh , who's that ?" tyler smirked.
"nobodyyyy," i giggled , trying not to blush.
"okaaayyy , whatever you saaayyy," he chirped.
i playfully roll my eyes.
we arrived to the hotel the boys were staying at & i decided to stay in tyler's room for the next couple of days.
"so , you wanna see the guys ?" tyler asked.
"yeah , definitely," i replied.
next door to tyler's room was justin & jackson's room.
tyler knocked on the door & jackson opened it.
"surprise !" i yelled.
"kayla !!" jackson screamed , hugging me.
while hugging jackson , i feel another body behind me.
i turn around to see justin hugging me.
"hey baby boy," i said , hugging justin back.
"hey , i missed you," he mumbled.
"i missed you too," i replied.
"what are you doing here ?" jackson asked.
"welllllll - " i continued.
i began to explain to them that i wanted to fix mikey , & what has been going on with me ; good & bad.
"where is mikey anyways ?" i asked.
"we don't know. he went to another club last night & hasn't came back," jackson replied.
"what ?! & nobody's going to do anything about it ?!" i yelled.
"well kayla , it's just not really a surprise to us anymore from the way he's been acting," tyler stated.
"ugh i know , but he's still part of the family. where's bryce ? didn't he fly back ?" i asked.
"no , we haven't heard from him either ..." justin muttered.
"fucking shit," i cursed under my breath.
i grab my phone to call bryce.
no answer.
then i called mikey.
also no answer.
i shook my head at the guys.
"do you have any idea what club mikey was at ?" i asked.
"no ..." they all replied.
"wait," i stopped.
i grabbed my phone & began to see what i can do.
"i think i can track him down from his cellphone , come on," i said , walking out the door while the boys followed.
we decided to walk because mikey probably didn't go to a club that was far.
although , when my phone began to beep , saying mikey was nearby , we weren't near a club ... we were near an alley.
we turn the corner into the alley & started walking deeper into it.
"mikey ?" i called out.
no answer.
when we reached to the dead end , i turn to my side & see mikey , knocked out on the floor.
he had bruises , scratches , dried blood all over him.
the boys & i ran over to him.
"MIKEY ?! MIKEY WAKE UP !!" i cried.
"come on mikey , wake up," jackson pleaded , shaking mikey.
"ill call 911," tyler said , grabbing his phone.
i let go of mikey & began to sob.
justin hunched over & held me tight.
"it's going to be okay ... at least we found him," justin cooed.
i nodded & continued to cry into his chest.
couple minutes later , an ambulance comes to pick mikey up.
"would you like to ride with him ma'am ?" the paramedic asked.
"uhm ... ?" i hesitated , looking at the guys for moral help.
they nodded yes.
"uh yeah i guess," i answered.
the paramedic helped me into the ambulance & we drove off to the hospital.
during the entire ambulance ride , i was holding mikey's injured hand.
i began to tear up again.
"why ... why did you have to go back to the old you ? i flew all the way from LA just to help fix you , because i care about you ... you just don't know it ..." i muttered.
the ambulance stopped , i guess we're at the hospital.
suddenly , the back doors of the ambulance open to a paramedic.
"ma'am , can you please step out ?" he asked.
i nodded & stepped out of the ambulance.
i watched them take mikey into the emergency section of the hospital & disappear behind the doors.
"ill be here when you get out ..." i whispered to myself.
now that i know what happened to mikey ...
