Chloe's POV
-----------------
Ok, I am now confused.
Michael has just explained the whole Dad, Mum fiasco and Im just trying to digest all of the thoughts in my head.
"You ok, C?" Michael brings me to him through the bars.
"Yeah Im just a little confused by it all. Why would he want to kill me?" I ask.
"I don't know. I think that he just wants to take his anger out,"
"But why is he angry?" My voice comes out more cross than intended and Michael backs off a little, "Im sorry Im just a little stressed."
"No. Its ok. You have every right to be," he gives me a sad smile, pulling me back against the cold metal.
"Ok. This is the escape plan," Luke comes and plonks his butt next to Michael. We all sit in a little huddle and Luke spreads out the blue print in the middle, under the small gap between the floor and the bars.
"Chloe, Heather, you guys will get the supplies, Ash, Mike, you will distract Hilton. Sally, you and I-" Luke starts but is interrupted by a
"We don't wanna be like them," from a singing Sally.
"Not the time dear. Anyway, we will be finding the secret door which is situated in this very prison cell. Calum, you will he on guard duty. Is that ok?"
"No. I am shitting myself," Calum folds his arms stroppily, earning a few laughs.
"What if we get caught?" Ash squeaks.
"You run. And you don't stop-"
"Doin watcha doin!" Me and Michael harmonise.
"Will everyone please acknowledge that this is not the time for singing?" Luke snaps, pulling at the roots of his hair, "until you get out of here."
"Well this sounds like its going to work," Heather rolls her eyes.
"Doesn't it just," I join in with the sarcasm.
"Guys," Sally whines, "give Luke a chance. I think its a great idea sweetie."
"Thanks Sal," Luke pouts, receiving a peck on the lips from his girlfriend.
"Are we kissing, or making a plan to get out of this place?" I roll my eyes.
"We could do both?" Michael winks at me.
"Fine," I give in to his pleas and kiss him.
"But if you could do anything now, what would you do? Chloe you first," Luke smiles at me.
"All I want to do is curl up on Joes bed with Joe and Michael and no one can talk unless I do. And we are all watching Doctor Who," I sigh, looking into Michaels eyes.
"I would shag the beautiful woman in front of me," Michael dramatically takes my chin in his fingers and lets go. I giggle.
"Oh wow," Ashton chuckles.
"Lets sing guys," Michael grins, "what song?"
"Today by Smashing Pumpkins?" Luke asks.
"Yeah," I agree and we sing the song. Half way through the chorus, Dad comes running.
"You. You three. Get here now," he orders.
"Look after this babe." Luke pushes the blue print into Sally's hands and scuttles away with Ash and Cal.
"Chloe, my mum told me to give this to a girl that deserves it. Ive thought long and hard. Actually, it was an easy choice. This girl is you," Michaels words come out in a few jumps as he dumps a cold, metal chain in my hand and sprints away.
Sally gives me the paper and I stuff the blue print under a hay bail for safe keeping. I take a closer look at the chain. There is a thin, real gold chain and a small sapphire backed with gold and bordered with tiny pearls. Its beautiful.
"Lets have a look," Sally carefully takes the necklace out of my hand, "its adorable!"
"I want to see. Wow. Chloe, your boyfriend is amazing," Heather laughs.
"He is," I sigh.
"Ooo, look at you. Your well and completely lovestruck for him aren't you?" Sally elbows me.
"No," I say, defensively, "well, maybe. Ok, a little. Fine, a lot."
"You luuve him," Heather wiggles her eyebrows.
"Shhhh. I do," I say, looking at the sapphire. It's so pretty!
"Ashton loves me though so Im all good," Heather smirks, "yep. Its all good."
"And Lukey loves me," Sally smiles with satisfaction.
"Nahh," me and Heather say at the same time, causing us to laugh.
"That is rude," Sally sasses and we laugh more.
"Girls. It is time," the General opens the bars and us girls look at each other. We were all thinking the exact thing. Run.
We started sprinting down the corridor.
"GET BACK HERE NOW!" Hilton screams.
"Chloe!" I hear Michaels thick accent as we keep running. We are joined by the boys.
"Mikey!" I squeal and we pick up speed.
After a while, we start to slow down. My legs are throbbing.
"C?" Luke whines.
"Yeah Luke?" I reply.
"Hes still after us!"
"No shit,"
"Chloe this way!" Michael screams and we turn into this passage way.
"Woah. I know this place," I splutter as we finally stop running.
"Yeah," Sally pants, "I swear I've been here before."
We continue the ever lasting walk down the passage way. When we reach the end, its a door with 72 engraved in it.
"72? Oh my god thats 72!" Michael gasps, still exhausted from our little cross country.
"Thats where they're supposed to be going?" Ashton examines the wood.
"Yep. I have second thoughts about this escaping plan," Mike wraps me up in his arm.
I fall against him and suddenly I don't feel so happy in his arms. Pulling away slightly, I look up at him.
"Mikey?"
"Yeah?"
"You wont leave me here will you?"
"You know I wont Chloe. I promise," he smiles.
"There they are!" Dad shouts
"Fuck now what?" Calum says and everyone looks at me.
"Er, oh I know. Follow me," I say, spotting a narrow path around the house. Thats really weird. A house in some kind of castle.
We make our way around the house and at the back there is a trap door.
Yolo.
"Come on guys. Lets do this," I open the door and we all crawl through this passage.
At the end there is another door. I open it and guess what I find?
A room made into a shrine. With mum, me and Sally.
"Sally? Are you getting all of this?"
"As much as I will ever get," she says, wandering around the room.
"Does he really miss you that badly?" Michael peered around.
"No. Check this out," Calum points to a notice board.
It has a photo of me and one of Sally. Theres writing. Michael gasps.
"What?" I ask, reading it myself, "method of killing Chloe and Sally- oh."
"That is fucked up," Michael says angrily. He clenches his fists and lets out a few curses under his breath.
"Let me see," Luke shoves me out of the way and I wrap my arms around Michaels torso. Im too shocked to cry or react. Speechless even.
"That is bullshit. Why would he want to kill his and his loves kids?"
"I know why. Because he was pissed off with us because we lived and mum and Ben didn't," Sally says, her voice small. I notice a few tears trickle down her cheeks. Letting go of Michael, I push Luke away and hug Sally.
"Its ok, Sal. Michael and Ashton and Luke and Cal and Heather and me are here. Dad ain't killin no one," I mumble in the crook of her neck.
"I love you Chloe,"
"I love you too Sal,"
