Aylen's pov
Well this turned out just flippin perfect. Let's not meet your favorite band the normal way no. I have to turn into Michael's charity case then the rest decide to help. I don't even need their help I'm fine on my own with the way things are but no Michael doesn't understand that no he has to go and intrude. Thankfully he's gone to the airport to get the lads because he was starting to get on my nerves.
"AYLEN"
I rush out to the hall only to see them
"Yes"
"We need you to dispose of this guy"
They held up a picture of Michael they left it on the couch and walked out. I knew Michael said he was going to do something to get them to want him dead but he said he was gonna plan it when the lads got here. I stared at the picture for a good two hours when I heard Michael walk into the room with the guys I rushed to my room to hide the picture but he seen
"Is that who's next"
"I uh yeah"
"Don't worry the five of us will come up with an idea to get them to want to kill me"
I look at Michael blankly he hadn't done anything yet and he was already on the hit list how was I supposed to tell him that. Wait how would they already want him dead if he hasn't done anything. There is something that Michael isn't telling me.
"Michael what are you hiding"
All the boys look at Aylen
"What are you on about"
Aylen walks into her room and grabs the picture and walks back out
"I got my next contract"
I show them the picture
"Michael you're my next target, how the hell could you be my next target you said you would plan it when the boys got here so I think you need to start explaining"
Everyone looks at Michael I just stare at him angrily and the boys do as well all of us are waiting for Michael to explain why he's on the Irish governments hit list
"Start talking Michael me and the boys and Aylen deserve to know why she is supposed to kill you"
"Alright, alright before I was in the band I was doing some stuff I was a runner"
I walk over to the window
"God dammit Clifford how the fuck are you on the hit list"
"I had to bring stuff into Ireland"
My temper is building up I'm so close to pinning him up against the wall and forcing him to answer Ashton clearly notices cause he rushes over and tries to calm me but it's no use I already have Michael pinned up against the wall his breathing slowly being cut off
"WHAT WERE YOU BRINGING IN"
"I was bringing in drugs"
"Don't fuck with me Clifford they don't want me to kill people for just bringing in drugs"
"Okay, okay I was bringing in supplies for the IRA"
I let go of him and back away
"Why would you get involved with them why"
"I needed the money"
"What am I supposed to do now I have to kill you or they kill my family"
Everyone looks at me but it was Ashton that caught my eye he looks at me with sympathy in his eyes the others all look scared I brush past them and go to my room. I flop down onto my bed and grab my pillow and hug it and hid my face in it starting to sob silently. A few minutes later I hear the door open and the bed dip then two arms wrap around me and pull me into a hug. I look up from the pillow and see Ashton.
"Ashton what are you going"
"Hugging you, Aylen can I ask you a question"
"Sure"
"Why do they want him dead"
"Because in this country if you're apart of or are associated with the IRA you are seen as a traitor and that you have committed treason which is where the government brings me in. The IRA are the government's greatest threat because they are an army of patriots who want the whole thirty two counties and will do anything to get them. They are ruthless and the fact that Michael supplied them with whatever they needed pisses of the government because they are trying to dry up their ways of getting the ammunition"
"So there is no way of helping him"
"The only way both my family and Michael will survive is if he were to kill me"
"So someone has to die"
"I'm afraid so it's the only way he can walk away alive"
"But then you die"
"But that's the price you pay, I'd rather be the hunter than the prey but you need Michael nobody needs me"
"Your not worthless"
"Ashton nobody wants a murderer, where my heart is supposed to be is an empty abyss. I'm a heartless monster"
I look down not wanting to look at him
"If you were heartless you would have already killed Michael and you wouldn't give up your life so he could live"
"It's me or my dad"
"Why would you're dad be killed"
"Because they hate me so they threatened me with his life"
I look at Ashton
"He's all I've got my mom and siblings won't talk to me anymore"
"I'll find a way to fix this"
"There's no way to fix it"
"Trust me I'm gonna try"
"Ashton the only way for Michael and my dad to be safe is if I die"
"Yeah and how will you're father react when he finds out your dead"
"He'd be fine he barely knows me anyway I was given up as a baby I only know who my parents are for the past two or three years my father would be fine he has three daughters that love and look up to him he could live without me"
"You know he'd still be crushed by it"
"I know but it is the way it is"
