Roses Flaws ↠ Michael Clifford (AU)

Chapter | 24 |

"You don't know the truth do you?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Truth about what?"

Ella just smirked. "Michael. Has he ever told you why he's in here?"

"No and I don't expect him too, he can on his own time."

It was just Ella and I this morning. We were the first ones up, well actually I was. She came in twenty minutes after me and sat with me.

"Not even a bit curious? Just a little. Come on."

I looked down. I guess I was.

"See, I knew you was. Michael would never tell you and since I'm getting out.I figured I would tell you.. Michael's a killer. He killed Ashton."

"I don't even know Ashton."

"Still believing you snuck in here and that the last "Mackenzie" got out." Ella rolled her eyes. "Wow Dr.Carson did a great job on you." She mumbled so low, I barely understood her.

"What."

"Nothing. Listen to me Mac, I despise you but I at least you owe you this, Honesty. Michael's in here because he got caught and declared insanity. Michael's father has an dangerous business that lets you borrow money and if you don't pay them back then they kill you. Ashton was in a situation and he borrowed money from Michael's dad. Couple months later Ashton never payed them back, they sent threats and warned him until Daryl sent Michael out to kill him, after you were sent here. Michael ran a red light and smashed right into Ashton's Bicycle and it instantly killed him."

I gaped at her. "You're joking. I know Michael, he wouldn't hurt a soul."

"I'm not joking, if he can hurt Luke because he kissed you doesn't mean he can't do much more..Ask him, He'll tell you." then she scooted back and left, my eyes wandered onto Michael as he walked into the room. He went to kiss Ella's cheek but she turned, and kept walking.

"What was that about?" Michael asked.

"We were just talking." I looked down. "Can I ask you something and you not lie?"

"Yeah."

"Did. you. kill. Ashton?"

"Shit. She told you but Mac its n-"

"Did you?" I tried again. He sighed. "Yes I did but I had too."

"I can't believe you." I cried. "I may not remember him but you killed someone."

Michael walked over to me and tried to hug but I pushed him away. "Stop!"

"Mackenzie let me explain."

I backed away. "No. No. I can't be with you, you're a killer and I just ca-can't. We're threw."

"Mac. please. no." He began to cry. "I love you."

And that was it, I walked away from him, away from him forever. As soon as I made contact with my bed, I curled up and cried.
