Secrets and Advantages

"What's Going On?"

As I walked home, I heard something that sounded like a buzz, strange. I waited a few more seconds to see if it would go off again then realized it was my phone, that I had put in my pocket, and I was getting a call. I immediately answered it when I saw who was calling.

"Hello?" I answered "hey Marcella, I am so glad you answered, this is hell, it isn't fun anymore.. You'd never believe what Mic-" Luke went on but his voice got muffled by something "uh, hello?" I couldn't hear anything so I thought he had hung up but right before I was about to hit 'END' I heard a loud crash "hello?! Luke? What's going on? Someone please, anyone, tell me what's going on?" I panicked "Marcella?" I heard Calum come on the phone "Calum, where's Luke?" "I think he's in the room, I don't know.. Some crazy shiz has been happening lately" he answered quickly "what about Ashton, is he okay?" I held my breath as there was a long pause "yeah, sure. I guess you could say that"...

(Luke's P.O.V 5 minutes ago)

There was a loud crash that came from downstairs so I checked to see where it was. Everything that used to be on the counter was on the floor. Pots, pans, papers, utensils, everything. And when I looked up there Michael was leaning over the counter with his head in his hands and balling his eyes out. "What's wrong mate?" I asked "EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING WITH ME IS WRONG, EVERYTHING WITH MY LIFE IS WRONG!! DAMMIT, MAKE IT STOP!" He screamed "Michael. Michael, stop. Just go sit down and cool off, it's gonna be alright" I grabbed my phone and dialed Marcella's number.. It ringed once, twice "c'mon Marcella, pick up" "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Michael threw a glass coffee cup at me but it missed and smashed into the wall behind me. I ran and ducked under the table "hello?" I heard Marcella answer "hey Marcella, I am so glad you answered, this is hell, it isn't fun anymore.. You'd never believe what Mic-" I couldn't finish my sentence because I got dragged from under the table and pulled to stand up "please don't tell her Luke. Lucas, you can't tell her. I'm not the same person anymore, you can't tell her that. I need her to save me but you can't tell her that because she won't believe you and she probably completely hates me right now" he pleaded.

(Calum's P.O.V 5 minutes ago)

I heard a loud crash from downstairs but I didn't bother to go see what it was since I knew Luke would and plus I was still freaking out over what had happened with Ashton, we all probably were.

Everything was silent for a few minutes then another crash, but this wasn't a crash, someone was thrown against the wall. I quickly got up and ran downstairs thinking that the guys buddies were here to get at us because of Ashton but when I got down there, everything was destroyed and Michael and Luke were gone. Luke's phone was under the table and the the light was on so I figured someone was calling him and I crawled under the table, Marcella's name was on the screen and she had been there for at least eight minutes or so.. "Tell me what's going on!" I heard from the other line "Marcella?" I asked "Calum, where's Luke?" "I think he's in the room, I don't know... Some crazy shiz has been happening lately" I answered quickly "what about Ashton, is he okay?" She asked. Dang it, what was I supposed to tell her? I waited a few more seconds before I answered "yeah, sure.. I guess you could say that"... "What do you mean Hood?" Marcella asked sternly "he's ugh,... He's in ugh..-" "spit it out" I could tell she was irritated "he's in jail" I quickly replied and about whispered "what?! Why?!" She screamed "he ugh, got into a fight last night while we were at a bar.. He was completely sober and the only reason he got in the fight in the first place was to save Michaels ass" I ran my fingers through my hair "oh my god" I could tell she was crying "Calum, can you tell-... Never mind" I heard a sniffle then the line cut. "Stop it!" there was a yell from the room "Oh my gosh, what kind of world are we turning this into?" I whispered to myself while wiping my face then letting my hands go over my hair again.
