*Jade's POV*

Luke ran up the stairs and into the broken room I was in, I only just managed to look at him.

The situation was terrifying. Michael has lost his mind, he went on a little rage and now I'm on the floor shitting myself as he's got a gun pointed at me. Ashton was beside me, trying to talk Michael out of it as Calum stood next to him, calming him down.

"What the fuck?" Luke asked, looking at the situation. Tears were steaming down my face as I hoped for my life, wanting Michael to put the gun away, or at least point it elsewhere.

"Michael, c'mon man, chill out," Ashton said.

"What's the purpose?" he asked, his eyes fixed to me, he began mumbling and rambling on about something none of us could understand.

"For fuck sake Michael, relax!" Calum yelled, interrupting Michael's speech.

Michael stopped what he was saying, and looked at me deeply, his eyes were scaring me, my heart had never skipped so many beats at a time.

"Michael, don't.." Ashton said, crouching and walking towards Michael slowly.

"No," Michael said, and I heard the click of the trigger, and a massive bang. A pair of arms held me tightly as I shielded myself, my eyes closed tightly.

Am I dead? Is this what it feels like to be dead? Who's holding me, an angel?

I slowly opened my eyes and looked to the scene, Ashton held Michael's arm to the sky, a hole in the ceiling.

I looked up at who was holding me and met big blue eyes, he looked worried, his arms wrapped around me tightly. I looked back over and saw Ashton take the gun from Michael, him and Calum taking him out of the room, leaving me with Luke.

"You alright?" he asked softly.

I said nothing but mumbles and weeps, Luke sat down cross-legged and pulled me into his lap, my legs on either side of his waist as I cried into his shoulder.

"It's okay," he rubbed my back, "you're okay now."

"Luke!" I looked over Luke's shoulder and saw Ashton, "c'mon."

Ashton took my arm that was wrapped around Luke and helped me to my feet, he wrapped his arm around me as Luke also stood to his feet.

"Where are we going?" Luke asked.

"Downstairs."

Luke followed close behind and Ash lead me down the crooked stairs where we were surrounded with nothing but darkness.

"Where's Michael?" I heard Ash call, his voice echoing.

"Over there," someone said, pointing a torch to Michael who was chained to the corner of a wall, "I've put him there until he calms down."

"Here," Luke whispered into my ear, placing something in my hand. I flicked the switch and realised it was a torch.

I used it to look around, the place was a basement, chains and buckles hanging from the walls, until I came across Alanna who was tied up herself.

"Alanna!" I yelled, running towards her and slipping out of Ashton's grip, he tried chasing after me but I was already in Alanna's arms.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Alanna said, I cried into her shoulder, the whole place was silent for a while as we just stood there, crying on one another.

After a while, I felt arms on me, "alright, that's enough."

"No!" I held onto her tighter, but the large hands were too strong and they unhooked my arms from Alanna.
