Luke's POV

I couldn't believe it..Calum and I were going to jail. We were going to die.

I felt salty tears roll down my cheeks as I turned and saw Michael running out of the door. Then I felt Calum grab my hand and squeeze it in his as he took deep breaths.

He was just as scared as I was.

I glared at the lawyer on the other side of the room and poked my own lawyers shoulder.

"Yes Luke?" She said, giving a sympathetic look.

"C-Can I talk to h-him?" I asked as I pointed at the man.

"I don't see why not." She said. "Hold on a moment."

"What are you doing?" Calum asked and I put a hand up to silence him.

The other lawyer walked over with a sad smile.

"So," I said. "You're getting me and my friend killed for a crime we didn't commit. Not only that, you made Michael lose his job and look like a complete fool in front of this entire room. Does that make you happy?"

"It's my job." The lawyer said.

"That's never an excuse to be inhumane. I hope you have to remember you got a seventeen and eighteen year old killed for the rest of your miserable life." I said. "Now leave, before I actually give myself a reason to go to jail for."

The lawyer looked slightly mortified as he turned and walked away. My own lawyer rubbed my back gently and began to walk us towards the door. "There should be a mode of transportation just outside that door. I am so sorry boys. I swore we had this case.."

"It's not your fault." Calum shrugged. "Thank you for trying."

"Of course. It was the humane thing to do." She smiled at me and I smiled back as Calum and I turned and walked towards the exit. People tried taking pictures of us but Calum shielded me from the photography as the police were yelling at the people.

"Ridiculous.." Calum scoffed. We finally reached the door and there was a police car waiting for us, unlike the prison bus that we came here in. Calum and I were pushed in the back, the police officer almost looked like he was sleeping. But he sat up and drove us towards the prison.

"Okay first stop boys, finding a new car." And we both recognized that voice way too well.

"Ashton!?" We both screamed.

"Hey!" Ashton smiled.

"What are you doing!?" Calum asked as he sat forward.

"Breaking you out of prison, duh." Ashton said.

"Oh my gosh, Ashton that's a horrible idea." Calum panicked.

"Please, I know all the ins and outs of this." Ashton chuckled. "You are rolling with a detective."

"Dammit Ashton you're a fool but I love you for it." Calum breathed in relief.

"W-Where's Mikey?" I squeaked from the back.

"He's at my hotel room." Ashton said. "You guys seriously didn't think I would have a back up plan?"

"Ashton I swear I could kiss you right now!" Calum smiled.

"I feel like leaning back there would get us in a car crash." Ashton chuckled.

"Lets not." I breathed.

So we drove in Ashton's police car while Calum praised him the whole time - a little too far sometimes - until we reached the hotel.

"I'm glad they passed that rule about suits in court." Ashton said. "C'mon boys."

So we all got out of the police car and headed inside the hotel. Instantly finding the hotel room as Ashton opened the door for me to walk in first. I took a few steps inside.

"Mikey?" I asked cautiously and was all of a sudden pushed back down on the bed with Michael over me, kissing my entire face as I erupted into a fit of giggles.

"I am so sorry." Michael breathed as he lifted himself slightly.

"It's fine." I smiled.

"We're going down with you though, if we go down. I don't think we will go down." Michael smiled.

And he wasn't wrong.

*Four Years Later*

"When do you think Ashton and Calum will be home?" I asked as I laid with my head on Michael's lap. We had gotten away with everything. They had completely stopped looking for all of us and we could live in peace. With changed names of course. Mine was Robert Farr, but that was another story.

"I don't know, why?" Michael asked as he ran his hand through my hair. The feeling of a cool metal on his finger every now and then running across my forehead.

"Because," I shrugged. "I'm bored."

"Luke I swear you will never get tired of doing anything sexual." Michael chuckled.

"Well yeah, of course not." I smiled up at Michael as I spun the metal loop around my finger.

"You're lucky I love you, c'mon lets go." Michael stood up off the couch.

"Carry me." I whined.

"Luke you are almost twenty-two years old." Michael sighed.

"So?" I raised an eyebrow. "You're my husband you're suppose to do nice things for me."

"You never do anything nice for me." Michael whined.

"I am about to do a nice thing for you!" I gasped. "You greedy man."

Michael began to laugh but when he heard sirens he immediately stopped and went wide eyed. I stood up off the couch and followed Michael as he went to the window and sat down in front of it until the sirens went away. He always did this.

I rubbed his shoulder gently before letting my head fall in the crook of his head.

"Mikey you need to calm down. They gave up looking for us." I said softly.

"Luke I had the scariest moment of my life when I thought they were going to take you away from me." Michael said quietly. "I swear I would not live if I had to experience that feeling again."

"Aw," I smiled. "Well come upstairs with me before Ashton and Calum get home and we can get your mind off of it, yeah?"

Michael smiled and kissed my cheek. "Yeah."

We may not have had to run anymore, but that didn't change the fact that we were all born to be runners.
