Torn In Three | Malum, Muke, Mashton

Chapter Five

- Michael's point of view -
"It's Michael"

Time froze still; the silence in the hotel room was deafening. I felt paralysed in my place - but where would I move to anyway? I'm trapped, physically and mentally.

I heard a loud crashing noise come from the other side of the door and Ashton's voice:" I should have known"

Guilt flooded through my body and I felt sweat drip down my forehead.

"What do you mean you should have known? Did you know about our relationship?" Luke asked innocently.

"I had no idea about your relationship" Ashton's voice calmed, however being on the other side of the door I could not see his facial expression. I only imagined the worst.

A few long moments passed and Luke finally spoke. "Will you help me find out if he is cheating?"

"I know he is, Luke"

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because I'm the person he's cheating with"

I have to run away. If I leave now, then I can avoid being killed by, what I guess, my ex boyfriends.

Luke and Ashton had left only a few minutes ago to "get away from my presence". I can't blame them, I wouldn't want to be near me either right now.

Deciding to make a run for it, I slowly unlocked the bathroom door and made my way towards my bedroom. Mentally thanking myself for being lazy and not unpacking, I picked up my bag and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Calum's voice stopped me in my tracks.

"Look, say what you want to say now then I'll leave. I deserve it" I closed my eyes tight waiting for a punch to be the thrown, however, it never came.

"What are you on about?" Calum seemed confused. Luke and Ashton obviously had not told him.

"Oh," I laughed nervously, "nothing. It's just I left my passport in the taxi and I thought you would be mad"

"You're such an idiot. Get it and maybe we could have some fun when you return" the boy winked and walked away, granting me to leave.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I opened the door and scanned the hallway for Luke and Ashton. It's clear. I took the lift on the far end of the hotel, certain the two boys would have not gone that way.

Time to start a new life. If I just hide, the problem will go away right?

Pushing my worries away, the lift door swung open revealing the ground floor and I stumbled out of it then began to sprint.

This was the fastest I had ran in years; adrenaline really helped me, since I was also carrying a heavy bag.

I approached a large park and decided to slow down. I had been running for what felt like ten minutes - I'm safe for now. Looking around, I saw all green and heard the sound of nature: birds singing and leaves moving in the wind. No sounds of traffic at all. Am I still in London?

I got a call on my phone: the caller ID read Calum so I decided to answer.

"Where the hell are you? Ashton and Luke are gone too" Calum sounded anxious, not to my surprise.

"My wallet is still missing, the airline says it might take a while to find" I replied.

"You said you lost your passport in the taxi?"

Why do I keep messing everything up today?

"I-"

"You're lying to me" damn you Calum for being so smart.

"Trust me, that's not the worst lie I've told you" the words slipped off my tongue - but now I have nothing to lose.

"What is the worst lie then?"

"I'm sure you will find out very soon" I told him before hanging up the phone. My hand was shaking as I pressed the red button and put the phone in my pocket.

Now what?
