"We have a problem" Luke said as he walked into his kitchen where Michael and Ashton were sitting.

"Oh some more, great!" Michael said sarcastically as he rested his head on the kitchen table.

"We have an interview by the end of next week" Luke said and gulped.

"..so Cal is gotta be there" Ashton whispered.

"Indeed he has to, shouldn't we call the police?" Michael said turning to Ashton.

"No" Ashton responded as he stood up from the kitchen chair. Luke gave him a confused look.

"I'm sure Cal went.." he stopped for a second as reality was hitting him. "Missing" Ashton said feeling his heart ache. He clenched his jaw before continuing. "And it has to do with that date he went on, doesn't have to be his date specifically..could be around the night with other people being involved"

"Sooo? Why no police" Michael asked.

Ashton came closer to Michael and whispered in his ear.

"Cause imma kill that bitch.."

The words repeated in Michael's head. Ashton's stern, intimidating and cold voice. That was the point were you shouldn't fuck with Ashton and his friends.

"Should we stop by his appartment? Since Y'know we're doing everything alone.." Luke said putting on his jacket.

"We don't have the keys Luke" Michael sighed.

"I do.." Ashton said and grabbing the keys from his pocket. He threw them on the table.

"Why do you have a key to his house?!" Michael asked examing the keys in his hands.

Ashton crossed his arms "because I don't want Calum to do stupid stuff" he said grabbing his keys back.

"Did he ever do something he regretted?" Michael asked.

"He d-"

"Can we go? We're wasting time" Luke said cutting Ashton off. He was getting more annoyed by the second.

"You're right, let's go" Michael said and stood up following Luke to the door with Ashton following along.

"Okay we're spliting up, If you see anything suspicous then tell me" Ashton said.

"I'll do the livingroom" Michael said and walked away.

"Luke which ro-" Ashton stopped as he glanced at Luke who was looking down and playing with his hands.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

Luke shook his head "everything is so real now and it's hitting me the most at this point" Luke said looking at Ashton with watery eyes.

"Like, w-what if..what if Calum's dea-"

"Stop!" Ashton said cutting Luke of harshly.

Ashton sighed while seeing the scared look on Luke's face.

"Don't overthink Luke, It'll get to you" Ashton said softly and embracing him in a hug.
