...Emma got serious: "Michael? Like a little girl? I can't believe in that..."

"I couldn't believe in that ether.", I sighed again. Em saw how hard it was for me to see Michael like that. She knows how much he, Calum and Ashton meant to me...
"I... I don't know what to say babe. Do you want me to talk to him?", she said, trying to find some ideas how to help me, to be more accurate, Michael.
"Don't really know what to do...", I felt so sad.
Emma changed the subject: "Anyway... I went on that football match the other day." I loved her feeling for the right moment to change the subject.
"So? Did you saw that cool guy?", I was trying so hard to relax and talk like usual with Em but... I was thinking only about Mikey.
She frowned: "Yes. I saw him. With Sophie."
I smiled: "With Sophie? Nah, he doesn't have a good taste then. You will find a better guy."
"Yeah, sure... What about you?", she still had a serious face, "Oh and yes... What will you drink? Coke, beer or wine?"
I made a face 'You are really asking me that?' and then smiled: "Beer of course. And about girls... Nope... I saw Aleisha...."
She looked at me almost angry 'cause she knew what was I going trough when we broke up: "No! Luke! No!"
"Don't worry. She called me out and-", I started and she interrupted me: "CALLED YOU OUT?! I WILL BREAK HER NOSE!", she was sooo frustrated.
"AND I SAID NO! I felt a bit sorry", I begged.
Emma sighed: "Bro. Do you know what are you doing to yourself?"

My phone rang. 
"It's...Michael", I closed my eyes.
"Turn on the speakerphone.", Em said decisively.
I turned on:

"Yes bro?", I didn't know how to act...
"I...I...", he mumbled.
"Are you drunk?", I got up from the chair, I have to find him... he always do random shit when he's drunk.
"Yes...", he sounded like he is sick.
"Where are you bro?", Emma tried to calm me down, but it didn't worked. I worry to much about that little bastard!
"Out.", he said with mumbling drunk voice.
"Where out?", I was freaking out deep inside of my heart.
"Out of the house.", if he wasn't obvious he is drunk I would think he is teasing me.
"Michael! Tell me where are you!", I yelled like that would change the situation.
"In front of the Summer flower...", he sighed.
"Summer f... Oh! Wait over there! I'm coming!", I was already ready to run to Summer flower, pub where we used to hang before we became famous... What is he looking for over there? We didn't go there for 2 or 3 years...
"No... You don't have to come.", he tried to sound convincing.
"What? Of course I have to! Just stay there!", I yelled again.

I hang up and looked at Emma while I was getting my jacket on...
"I....I am going with you.", she said like it's a done thing.
I wasn't really sure in that... I didn't wanted her to see Michael like that... Maybe she will get insulted by something he says or.... I don't know... I really just want to protect her from everything... "You... you don't have to..."
She sighed: "I know you don't want me to go, but I will. We are best friends for years and we are always there for each other. I'm going with you, and that's done."
"Alright. Come.", I rolled my eyes, giving up.

We went out of the house and I was walking so fast that Emma was running behind me. But she didn't say anything. She knew how serious this can be... She knew it how much I'm scared for Michael, for not knowing what's going on with him.
"Bro, everything will be fine, don't worry so much....", she was breathless.
"I just...can't... God knows what shit he can make when he is drunk...", I could barely talk, adrenaline and fear were deep inside me.
"I know but everything will be fine, you can't help him if you are out of your mind!", Em was trying so hard to calm me down...
"I...I know...", I sighed, closing my eyes...
Emma put a hand on my back and whispered: "Everything will be okay. I'm here for you. For you and Michael. Let's find him."
We were running for a couple of minutes and then we were in front of Summer flower... I didn't saw anyone in front of the pub so I went in... I knew all the waiters, of course.
"Hey Ben!", I was trying to keep calm and cool.
"Oh hello Luke! Hows your career going?", he smiled, haven't expecting to see me.
"Was Michael here?", I showed him I wasn't here to drink.
"He isn't at your place?", he was surprised.
"No?", I was completely lost.
"He said he will drove to y-", I stopped him yelling: "YOU LET HIM DRIVE?!"
"Well... I couldn't s-", he was trying to explain situation but I yelled again: "YOU IDIOT!!"

I ran out of the pub and Emma got me by my shirt: "Before you start running trough the Sydney, look on the parking lot!"
She...
