*baby michael and Luke SCREECHING*

"I called you to ask for the damn fucking French homework and now you're just talking shit" Michael growled down the phone. I widened my eyes in surprise. I didn't know who exactly he was on the phone to but I was assuming it was someone who was severely pissing him off.

"Don't you dare talk about her like that you scum. I'm done conversing with you" Michael hissed down the phone, ending the call and throwing it towards the end of the couch.

"Michael" I breathed laying my hand on his shoulder. He had his hands supporting his head with his elbows leaning against the arm of the couch. He stared ahead of him in utter disgust not even reacting when I touched his shoulder.

"I hate him" Michael finally spoke.

"Hate who?"

"Riley Davidson"

Silence filled the air. I didn't quite know who Riley Davidson was but the way Michael was speaking about him I'd say he wasn't a very decent human being.

"What did he do Michael?" I asked softly edging closer to him on the seat. He shook his head making his fluffy brown hair bounce.

"He's always been a dick to me and the guys but he's taking the piss now" Michael answered anger still adamant in his voice.

"What did he say?" I asked again my voice a little louder.

"About you"

I sucked in air between my teeth. How could this guy possibly know who I was?

"He saw you.. at the party with me and he thought we were going out. He threatened to hurt you. He was saying all these disgusting things about your ass and your body and stuff and it's just horrible" Michael said gently his voice falling into a whisper. I froze.

"Michael don't be upset. This guy sounds like he's full of empty threats" I assured him although it was more to assure myself. Michael shook his head again turning to face me.

"You don't get it. He's a psychopath Aimi. I don't want him to hurt you. I-i could never live with myself if he hurt you" He said his bottom lip quivering. My heart broke at this side of Michael. He was usually so bubbly and loud, so full of joy. To see him so upset like this was truly heart breaking.

"Mikey please don't be sad" I mumbled laying my head on his chest. Michael wrapped his arms around my back pulling me closer to him. I squeezed my eyes shut trying desperately to rid this thought of this random guy from his school, shoving my face further into Michael's chest. He whimpered, sniffing slightly.

"Michael he won't touch me" I whispered, looking up at him now tears in his eyes.

"I just like, you're my best friend and I care about you so much and he tried to kill a girl before. He raped her and he got away with it. Because his dads rich the jury said he was innocent. She ran away in time from him but he chased her through the forest with a gun. Thankfully she got away from him but he got arrested and he was accused of rape and attempted murder. They wouldn't believe Vanessa but why would she lie about that? She's been fucked up in the head ever since"

Chills were running down my spine after Michael explained that story to me. I suddenly feared for my life feeling a wave of panic going through my body. My breathing was becoming rugged and my heart was beating wildly in my chest.

"Michael" I whimpered. He hummed a yes tears now forming in my eyes.

"I'm scared" I muttered.

"He won't touch you Aimi, I wont let him"

"Michael?"

"Yeah?"
