Take Me Away (Michael Clifford/5sos)

Chapter 4

Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost again and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend, hold me.

Chapter 4

"And?"

"Me being a nice guy, I'm gonna give it back to her as soon as we'll meet her." I said. The others began laughing. I showed them the finger as we stepped into the restaurant.

*Sky's POV*

After roaming around a bit, I ended up with going to Macca's. I was really hungry, and actually, I was craving some McBurger or whatever. I didn't like the fact my father was out of jail.

Totally didn't like it.

After I got my food, I managed to sit down in the last free booth. Awesome, if you ask me. But I didn't get to enjoy it for long, because suddenly four boys approached me.

"Hey, uhm, sorry, can we sit here with you? Everything else is full and I wouldn't consider eating on the toilet?" one of them asked. He had a strong Australian accent and - holy shit! It's...it's 5SOS. How high are the chances to meet a famous band in a city like Los Angeles?!

"Yes, of course." I tried my best not to show that I'm surprised as hell, and made a bit of space. "I'm Sky." I smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Sky." Michael let himself plop down next to me. I almost got a heart attack. "Is there any chance you lost this today?" he held up my leather wristband.

"Oh my gosh, thank you!" I exclaimed and took it. "Sorry, a friend of mine gave this to me ages ago." I smiled. The boys did too.

"So...you applied for a job..." Ash changed the topic. I nodded.

"Do you know anything...I mean, like, uhm -" I sighted. "Nevermind."

"You're our new manager." Calum stopped me from shaking my head. I almost spilled my coke.

"No shit?"

"No shit." they all nodded in agreement. I couldn't believe it.

"Are you alright? You just kinda zoned out..." Michael put his hand on my arm. I snapped out of the bubble of my own world.

"Huh? Sorry. I was just thinking about what I have to do next..." I mumbled.

"And what do you have to do?" Luke smiled with a mouth full of food.

"Quit two jobs, and only let my closest friend know about this." I replied. I saw that they were on the edge of asking about my family, but thankfully Ellie was calling.

"Hey." I replied with a wide grin. "Guess who's got the job."

"Awesome..." she said, but it was everything else than full of excitement.

"Something's wrong?" I began to worry.

"He know's you're in California. He's got your mum's adress, infos about the hotel you're in and the adress of my apartment." Ellie sounded as scared as I got. "Don't ask me how I found out. But he's gone, Sky."

"I-I'll call you back." I hung up and held back tears.

"Sky?" They all stared at me with worried expression. I took a piece of paper, wrote down my number and put it on the table.

"I've got to go. Give me a call." I said and stormed out of the restaurant. I threw up at the first trash can I found. Then I leaned on a lamp pole and lit a cigarette. This wasn't good. That's a disaster. And I can't call the cops. I mean; he didn't do any crime yet. Oh my gosh, I have to get my things and find myself another hotel!
