runaway [l.h] book 2

2.5

three months later, me and Ashton fucked at least twice. I know I shouldn't be doing it, but I do. I can't help it.

anyways, me and Luke are cuddling on the couch watching 'Skins'.

"hey, that Effy girl reminds me of you, and Pandora reminds me of Charm!" Luke said laughing. I fake smiled, nodding my head slowly.

"What's wrong babe?" Luke said rubbing my arm.

"nothing lukey, just tired." I said smiling. just at that moment, Charm walks in saying "Cody, Luke! Michael got his hair done again! He calls it the emo hair!" she pulls michael in by his wrist, as I can see he's in pain.

"I like it Michael," Luke said getting from the couch. "but why do you keep dying your hair?" Luke asked.

"fresh start I guess." he said looking straight at me. I sighed getting up and walking towards them.

"why're you here exactly?" I said crossing my arms.

"me, michael, you, calum, Luke and ashton," she said "all hang out, right now!" she said happily.

"Luke? Wanna?" I asked. he nodded saying sure, telling them he'll be at Michael's house by 7.

Charm and Michael left, leaving the apartment quiet.

"I guess we are," Luke said moving closer to me. "Alone now." Luke was leaning in to kiss me, and I back off.

"We have to get ready, it 5:30."

"Cody, you stay here, I'll go get them." I said to her when we arrive at Michael's flat.

I walk in to see Charm all ready to go.

"michael is in the restroom, he taking a while." she said as she walked out of flat.

"michael?" I said when I approached the bathroom door.

"go away." Michael replied. he sounded like he was crying.

"michael you okay?" I said. I check the door to see if it was locked, it wasn't. I go in to see Michael digging a blade into his scarred wrist.

"M- Michael." I choked out. I was in shock, Michael is cutting? oh god, no wonder.

"Michael explain."
