Calum POV

Soundcheck was almost over. We had spent hours working on our set and organizing everything for the tour as supports. The One Direction lot were here also, as our part was minimal compared to theirs.

Just before we began to play another song, Michael's phone began to ring. Our manager cleared his throat.

"No phones, Michael."

Michael looked at his phone, a frown on his face. "Hold on, I have to take this." He then rushed off stage, leaving us all confused.

Michael POV

"Gee? Is everything okay?" I went into the green room and sat on the sofa as I tried to hear the other end. 

"Mikey...I'm screwed." Georgia sobbed, and I felt my jaw tense. "I'm in danger."

"Danger? What kind of danger?"

"The kind where I have to leave. I have to move. I can't put you guys in danger like this."

"What are you on about?" I raised my voice. She sniffled on the other end. 

"I'm going to quit. I'm leaving. Tell the boys I'm sorry."

"Woah, Gee. Please. Tell me what's wrong."

A minute passed in silence, the only sound being Georgia's heavy breathing. "They found me. They know I'm alive."

I understood why she called me. I'm the only one who actually knows. "What does this mean?"

"It means I can't be around you guys. I'm going to put you in more danger. Until they are out of the picture, I can't see you. I've probably put you in so much danger as it is- I'm so stupid!"

"Where are you going? You're leaving me to tell Ashton this? What do I tell him?"

"Make something up. Let it sink in easy, I don't want Ashton too hurt to perform."

"What about Calum?"

"What about him?"

"The guy is fucking crazy about you! Look- you can't disappear without even collecting your thoughts. Our agent knows about this?"

"They don't know they know I'm alive. But he saw me. I know he did."

"That's fine. Just...we're coming back soon, will you be at the flat? Stay in my bed tonight."

She paused for a while, before agreeing. "Okay. I don't know who to turn to, Mikey. I've never felt so vunerable...not since..." She began breathing heavily. "I need a fucking drink."

"Babe, chill. We'll be back soon- don't do anything stupid." I muttered, hanging up quickly. I headed back to stage and the boys were busy playing around on their guitars. Ashton looked up at me with a grin.

"Hey man, everything okay?"

"Yeah, let's get this thing finished I want to go home already." I forced a smile and picked up my guitar.

When we got back to the flat, I was surprised to see nobody there. Ashton collapsed on the sofa, exhausted. 

"Wonder where Gee is." He pulled out his phone, and frowned. "Her phone is turned off."

"Um...guys." Luke gave us a surprised look, so I wondered over to the breakfast bar, where Luke was standing. He crouched down, and I felt my jaw drop as I saw Georgia drunkenly passed out underneath the bar. A small bottle of vodka lay empty in her hands.

So sorry guys for not updating in a while, I've been back and forth to London to work on a short film, then having uni on top of that! :P Hope you guys are doing wel! <3
