*MICHAEL'S POV*

"Alright, I'm glad you called rather than trying to deal with this on your own. I hope you know that you can trust me, I'm here for anything you need Taylor, trust me." I spoke softly into the phone, trying to convay the feelings behind the words, while trying not to wake the other boys on the bus sleeping around me.

"I do Michael, I really do. I can't thank you enough truely, you've done more than you know..." Her voice trailed off, alarm bells sounding in my head; she had mentioned this to me before and I was worried there was something more behind the mask she was showing me.

"I haven't done anything though. Whatever you think I've helped you with, in truth, it will be you that helped you with it. It's you, it always has been you. You're stronger than you think Taylor, I wish you'd believe me." Affection flowed through my voice; trying to convince her.

"I'm really not strong Michael, trust me. I just..." She broke off as the sound of a yell and glass breaking.

"What was that?! Taylor? Are you ok?!" The words came out as a frantic mess.

"Yeah. I'm fine, don't worry about me, my dad's just drunk again. I'll be alright." She sighed into the phone.

I was about to let it go; trusting her on this, when I heard stamping feet and a door slam open in the background. I tensed as I listened, about to say something, but then again, it isn't really my buissness what was going on in her house, is it?

The internal battle continued as I lay tensed on my bunk. That was, until

I heard Taylor wimper at the other end of the phone line. That broke the conflict waging inside me and I sprung up, smashing my head on the top of my bunk in the process. I couldn't leave Taylor to suffer.

"Mate, what are you doing?! It's 5 in the morning dude!" Calum's cranky voice, deprieved of sleep, sounded from

beside me.

"Sorry Cal, go back to sleep mate, it's ok." I stumbled on the words, trying to get past him.

"Wait, was that Taylor?" He was suddenly wide awake. You could see the dots connecting in his head, as he thought over what he'd heard.

"Yeah dude, now can you please move?!" I tried to push past him, to no anvil.

"Where are you going? I'm coming with you, hold up." He grabbed his shoes from his bunk. I hadn't even gotten mine in my hurry, but I pulled them on now.

"To get her. Now are we going or not?!"

A/N I KNOW ITS SHORT, I'M SORRY BUT I WANTED TO UPDATE ANYWAY. ILL WRITE SOMETHING LONGER SOON <3
