F*cking cliché

49

It took a few days until I decided what to do, for which option I should go.
That's why I'm going the other way I should right now.

'Calum where are we going?'
'I.. I'm just t.. taking another route.'
'Stop the car.'

I keep driving, trying to hide the emotion forming in my eyes.

'Calum stop the car! Stop the fucking car!' 'We're almost there, I'm just taking another route believe me.'
'No you're not, this is nowhere near where we need to go.'
'We're almost there,' I repeat.
'Calum either stop the car or turn around.'
'I can't Levi.. I can't turn around here.'

My voice is wobbly and thick while my fingers were twitching.

'How much are you going to get?'
'I'm just driving to the parking lot.'
'Calum!'

The way he yells my name makes me scared, shiver.

'I'm just.. g.. going to,' a sob leaves my throat, 'bring you to the parking lot.'

He lays his hand down on my knee.

'Darling, why are you doing this?
You clearly don't want to do this.'
'I'm d.. doing nothing.'
'How long?' 'How long what?'
'How long are they going to lock me up for?' 'I don't know,' I whisper.

He closes his eyes and leans back.

'So you're really going to hand me over?' 'I'm sorry I..'

His eyes shoot open again, like green bullets shooting at mine.

'I just don't understand why.. do you need money? I can give you twice the amount they'll.' 'It's not the money.'
'Please just stop the car and talk about this.'

I finally pull over and turn off the car, but lock the doors.

'Calum look at me,' he holds my head between his hands and pushes it towards him, 'Look at me!'

Pov Levi

'What do you get out of this?'
My voice was less rough and strict than I wanted, to much emotion.
'Freedom.'

The way his lashes flutter and hide the liquid wanting to leave his eyes made me mental, he doesn't want to do this.. yet he isn't going to change his mind.

'Freedom? From me?' I question.
'No,' his eyes trailed off, 'From my dad.'

His bright eyes always reminded me of the sky outside, but now there's a glaze of water covering them.
He's on the edge of crying and somehow felt the urge to keep strong.

'You're turning me in for your dad?'
'I..' I don't let him finish his response.
'Whatever he promised you isn't real, people don't change there mind that quickly.'

His eyes dropped.

'I'm sorry, but.. we wouldn't be able to..' a tear rolls down his cheek, 'keep this up anyway. My dad knows about us.' I wipe away the tears with my thumbs and stare into the toxic orbs.
'How?' 'Because he spies on me and he promised to give me complete freedom and family time if I turn you in.'

He's putting that above me..

'You really are a weapon Calum.'
'What do you mean?'
'You're eyes are toxic, your smile is poisonous, you're deadly.'

He isn't panicking, yet there were little drops of sweat forming on his forehead. So I lay my hand down on his forehead to feel.

'You're extremely warm, are you sick again?' 'Levi please..'
'What? You don't want me to look out for you because you're going to betray me?'
'I'm n..' 'This is betrayal Calum, whether you like it or not.'

Pov Calum

'So.. this is where you're going to drop me off?' 'I'm..' 'Sorry I know, I heard that excuse many times today.'

I step out of the car and walk over to his side and open the door, but he doesn't get out.

'I'm not leaving this car.'
'Levi you can't run anymore, get out and accept it,' I mumble.
'Accept it?' A sarcastic laugh tortures my ears, 'I'm sure you're going to be the one who can't.. you're not going to be able to live with yourself, you stupid whore.'

I try to pull him out, but of course I'm not strong enough.

'Step aside Calum we got this.'

Somehow I only take one step back.

The two guys drag him out of the car, but Levi manages to free himself.

'I can walk on my own.'

His eyes meet mine as a demonic little smile appears.

'Kiss me Calum, you're not going to be able to do that for a while.. probably never again.'

If I wasn't this emotional I wouldn't have done it, but right now I needed this last spark of love.

I lay my hands down on his upper arms and place my lips on his. It doesn't last long.. it was more a sad press than a real kiss.

'You're mine remember.. you promised.'
'You don't want me anymore.. clearly not after this.'
'Maybe not in the same way, but I have countless ideas of how to torture you,' he whispers into my ear, 'I won't go easy on you, you better have fled when I'm back.' 'Levi you lo..'
'Lo what?'

I never heard him this mad before and honestly I was scared for my life.

'Love me,' I finish quietly and make sure no one else hears.
'You're wrong, I did and now I'm starting to wonder how much of it was actually real. You've been a weapon from the start, luring me in with your stupid back stories and fake emotions.' 'I..'

'Calum come.' A friendly soft voice pulls me away from the situation before I can finish my sentence.

My eyes stare at the scene in front of me. He's struggling so hard, refusing to go with them. The more he struggles the worse it gets for me to keep my inner sadness to myself.

'Calum it's alright, you'll find someone better.'

Rose's chocolate eyes distract me for a few seconds until my eyes go back to Levi.

'You don't understand.. there's no one better than him,' I mumble.
'There's plenty fish in the sea.'
'No that's a lie.'

'Calum please.. don't let them take me.'

'Don't let them ruin this.'
