Michael's POV
My breath was coming out in quicker and shorter pants and I stretched an arm out, keeping myself supported against the wall.
"Michael?" I heard Ashton say quietly and I backed up against the wall compeletly, shaking my head, feeling a warm sesnation sting my eyes.
"No, no,no, no, no, no," I whispered, shaking my head, running my hands through my hair and pulling at its roots.
"Michael!" Ashton said louder and I whirled around facing him and laughed.
"He's too smart." I said and I gritted my teeth together and punched the wall.
"Michael!" Ashton said even more louder and I hissed as a jolt of pain went through my hand that had just made contact with the hard wall.
"He's too smart." I whispered, turning to make eye contact with Ashton.
"He knew that we could trace Luke's body to easily. So he tried the oldest trick in the book, while we were both distracted he possessed Calum, because we both trusted him. And now he has Hannah." I said and I felt something warm roll down my cheek.
"You're... You're crying." Ashton said and I laughed, the dry sound of my own laugh echoing round the living room.
"Yeah. It's been a long time, hasn't it?" I said, staring at the opposite wall and I felt something strong tugging in my chest.
It was a pain.
It was a pain, like I had never felt before. It was heavy, and it was pulling me towards the ground. I then felt my legs collaspe as I slid down the wall, more tears falling down my cheeks as I fell to the floor with a thud.
"Michael?" Ashton said, coming towards me, reaching out to help me off the floor but I pushed his arms away, shaking my head repeatedly.
"She told me she loved me, Ashton." I said, looking up at him and Ashton kneeled down in front of me, rubbing my arm as an attempt of comfort.
"I can't..." I cried, burying my head into my hands, feeling the tears soak my palms.
"I care about her... I care about her more than I care about anything or anyone I have ever known in my whole life... She can't die, Ashton." I said and Ashton breathed out slowly.
"I will go find her." Ashton said, and I locked eyes with him.
"It's obvious how much she means to you. In the whole 200 years I've known you, you have never shown any emotion, feeling or love towards anyone. Until Hannah moved in. I will go find her, Michael." He said and I lunged forward and grabbed him in a hug.
"Ummmm guys?" I heard someone say and I looked up at the doorway to see Luke standing there, with his phone in his hands.
