Chapter 21: I feel my heart pounding

Kara's POV

(Next Day At 2pm)

I was currently getting ready to leave for the airport and go back to Melbourne but at least it was just for two nights. I just packed up a small bag, we were staying in Melbourne for two days so that should give me enough time to pack my belongings. I put my packed backpack on the ground by the door and I started getting dressed for the day. Which I put on a plain white T-shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, and my red high top converse. I put on light mascara and eyeliner, I looked in the mirror and called it good. I heard a knock on my door, I opened it and saw Michael standing there. He layed his eyes on me and smiled which I returned.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

"Yes sir." I giggle as I picked up my backpack and swung it over my shoulder. We walked downstairs where we met Ashton who was also ready with his backpack. I'm pretty sure Michael's stuff was already in the car. "Let's go! Let's go! I wanna move here now!" I say excited as I jumped down the last 4 steps of the stairs causing Ashton and Michael to laugh.

"Okay fine let's go, it's a long drive to the airport." Ashton says. We said our goodbyes to Calum, Luke, Ella, and my mom. We left the house and got in Michael's car. We stopped to put gas in the car, I realized that I forgot to bring my hoodie.

"Dammit I forgot my jacket." I say face palming myself. Michael turned and looked at me.

"Hold on." Michael got out of the car and I watched as he opened the trunk. He closed the trunk and got back in the driver seat with something in his hand. He gave it to me and I noticed it was a black leather jacket. "You can wear that." He smiles at me. I slipped on his leather jacket, it was a little big on me but I immediately fell in love with the fact that it smells like him.

"Thanks Mikey." I reply.

"No problem love." He smiles with a wink which caused me to blush. We started heading to the airport and I was just humming along to the radio while I stared outside. On the drive I caught Michael looking at me a few times, when we made eye contact for a few seconds he would quickly look away which made me smile. After the 45 minute drive we finally made it to the airport. Ashton and Michael put on their hoodies and put the hoods up so they could try and hide themselves from fans. 

"You guys should put your sunglasses on if you don't wanna be spotted." I say as I was fixing my hair into a high ponytail. When I told them that I watched them get sunglasses out of their backpacks and put them on. I nodded and gave them a thumbs up. We went into the airport, got our tickets, went through security, and sat our gate for about 10 minutes where I almost fell asleep. We got on the plane and I cuddled with Michael, luckily that no one recognized Ashton and Michael. I took Michael's sunglasses off so I could take a moment to stare into his forest green eyes. I leaned up to him and connected our lips in a kiss. I put his glasses back on him and I cuddled with him for the whole 1 hour and 25 minute flight.

When we landed, we got off the plane with our stuff, I saw my aunt was there so I dropped my stuff and ran over to her and hugged her.

"Wow, Sydney has been nice to you." She laughs. "You were a total different person before you went to Sydney." She points out the obvious. We released form the hug. Michael came up beside me and gave my stuff back to me which I quietly thanked him. I turned back to my aunt and Ashton was kinda behind me.

"Aunt Sarah, you remember Ashton." I say as I put my hand on his shoulder. My aunt looked at Ashton which he looked confused and also scared. 

"Oh of course, I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember me." She laughs as she hugged him and Ashton awkwardly hugged her back but I completely understand why. They released from the hug and my aunt turned and looked at Michael. "I suppose that you're the friend?" She asks curiously and I nodded.

"Yeah, Sarah this is Michael, Michael this is my my aunt Sarah." I introduced them to each other. Michael shook her hand and I smiled. 

"Kara... he's a keeper." My aunt winked at me and I felt myself blush but I looked down for a moment to hide my pinkish face. We walked out of the airport and got in my aunts car. My aunt was driving, I was in the passenger seat, and the guys were in the back seat. On the drive my aunt was talking to Ashton and Michael about their band while I was having a mini panic attack while staring out the window. What if my father is in the house!?

We pulled up to the house and I looked at the house for a second. I felt myself get chills as I had memories run through my head which made my heart start racing to where I had a panic attack. I got out of the car and so did everyone else. I slowly started walking up to the house getting scared with every step but I also noticed that his car wasn't here so I calmed down a little bit.

"I'll come help you." Michael raced to my side. My aunt said she was going to stay in the car just in case my father came back so we can get out quicker. Ashton and Michael followed me up to the house, I turned the door knob and luckily it was unlocked. We stepped into the house and I saw the usual empty alcohol bottles everywhere in the living room and the kitchen. I sighed as I remembered being banged against the wall when my father would grab my throat and pin my against the wall. 

"My god, you weren't lying when you said he was a drunk." Ashton says and I nodded. I walked down a hallway and found my room, I opened it and sighed at how gloomy it was in here but this whole house is like that. I grabbed my big suit case from the closet and set it on the bed. I opened it and started getting my clothes out of all my dressers and put it in the suit case. 

"I'll be right back, I think I might have some stuff in the basement." I say.

"Okay we'll get everything in here." Michael smiles at me and I smiled slightly. I walked out of the room and made my way towards the the basement. When I walked down the stairs, I turned on the light but then it turned off. 

Great lights burned out, like that's ever going to change though. I rolled my eyes. I started walking in the dark basement but then I was greeted by someone tall and they pinned me against the wall hard. I winced in pain but I felt a cloth go over my mouth and it was tied behind my head.

"Scream and I'll kill you." They say and I noticed the deep, horrifying voice of my father. "I've missed you princess." He slurs.
