Voodoo Doll

Chapter 81

Carson

I didn't notice how Calum snuck away until he returned.

He brought me a pack of skittles and some water.

I thanked him, but didn't think much of it until Anna and Michael burst through the door.

"Vas happening?!?" I joked.

Anna didn't seem amused. "What the hell Calum?"

If looks could kill, Calum would have been dead in a matter of seconds.

"She...Carson, why don't you and Anna go talk?" Calum nervously suggested.

The color drained from my face. "Calum..." I trailed off.

"I'll get you later." Anna threatened.

Calum rolled his eyes. "I'm scared."

"You should be." Michael said, starting to smile.

Anna's cheeks were still flushed, her hair slightly messy.

I stood up anyway, pulling her with me into the back of the bus.

We sat down, and she gave me a long, hard stare.

"Spit it out." She said, a grim smile on her face as she leaned back against the wall.

I sighed looking down at my palms. "It's no big deal."

She let out a cold laugh. "If it interrupted my date, it's fricking important enough."

I blankly stared at her. "What?"

"Calum called me, saying you needed me."

"That bastard. I'm sorry, I didn't even know."

She sighed. "It's okay...it's just...Michael is so...different. And I like that..."

He cheeks reddened as I smirked her.

"Anna's in l-o-v-e!"

She blushed furiously, telling me shut up.

"Did you guys kiss?!?"

She didn't reply as I laughed.

"Aren't we here for you?" She asked, letting out a strangled laugh.

I nodded. "Sure. Whatever...I don't vent know why Calum called you."

She shrugged.

"I've been having bad dreams lately." I spoke, my head in my hands.

"So? We all have those kinds of dreams..."

"Actually, they've been getting worse. I've had bad dreams since I was 10."

Anna looked confused.

"And their real."

It took a moment to click, and then her face changed from confusion to sadness.

"Carson..."

I shook my head. "Don't tell anyone...I'm going to tell bell and Sam...but don't pity me.

don't feel bad for me. It's over, okay?"

Anna nodded swallowing hard, and whispered, "Okay."

Bell

I stiffened in Niall's arm.

He gave me a concerned look. "You okay?"

I relaxed, giving him the only smile I could manage. "Yeah."

He kissed the top of my head. "Sorry love. But we have to go."

I nodded, letting him lead me back to the car.

The ride home was mostly silent, and I felt bad for the poor guy.

Once we got home, we walked into the cutest yet frustrating thing ever.

Sam and Louis, cuddled up, sleeping.

****

Sam

The snapping of photos and whispers woke me up.

"Their so cute!"

"Uh huh."

Snap-snap.

"Why can't Carson and I do that? God I miss her."

"Aye. I miss Perrie."

Snap-snap.

My eyes flickered open, annoyed.

I saw all 4 One Direction lads, except Louis of course, and Bell staring at me, slight grins on

their faces.

I flipped them off, trying to get up, but failed in doing so.

Louis's arm was tightly wrapped around my waist, and I had been half on top of him.

It must have been cute.

I let out a sigh.

Boys.

And then the tour bus lurched forward, sending us tumbling and awakening Louis.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Harry joked.

We started to laugh, for no reason.

And then my phone buzzed.

I looked down at my old phone in confusion, an unknown number showing up.

I Ignored the call, returning to our conversation.

And then I got a bing, signaling I had a text.

Pulling out my phone with a sigh, I quickly read the text.

I swore my heart stopped.

I reread the text.

Unknown number:

They didn't die.

They were murdered.
