Chapter Twenty Two; Not Edited

I watched the redhead's eyes fill with so much anger that I could hardly see any light green in his eyes anymore. He was angry and that was never a good sign for anyone, even him. I was trying to pull myself from Luke's grasp but he was to strong for me to break free.

"Hello Michael." I heard a smirk in Luke's voice and that only made the redhead angrier and I guess that sight made the blue dyed boy laugh sinisterly. "I think you need to go back to therapy for your anger issues."

"Shut up Luke." Ryder said, making Luke chuckle and I could feel the knife being pressed to my neck. Fear was shown in my eyes and Michael's lip started to tremble violently. "Don't look so upset Michael."

"Isn't he beautiful?" I felt him ruffling my hair and it made me glare because Ivy worked hard on it. "Yeah and this guy you called beautiful is going to slap you for touching my hair." I sassed to the blue dyed boy who just messed my hair up even more with a grin on his face.

"Sassy, I like that." I felt the knife was removed from my neck and I inwardly sighed to myself because this was a good sign so far. "Michael, I can see why you were attracted towards him." I felt a pair of lips on my cheek and it made me thrash violently because of the feeling. How dare he kiss me in front of my boyfriend?

"Are you freaking serious right now?" I looked over to see Harry glaring venomously at Luke with so much hate that my own eyes widen at the sight. "You're really kissing Calum in front of his own boyfriend?" I shook my head to get the curly haired boy to stop talking but of course he didn't listen to me.

"Yeah, your point is?" I could literally see Luke raising one of his eyebrows in question at the curly haired boy's point. "Do you see Michael doing anything? He isn't even trying to retrieve him from my grasp." All these points were true and it made my lip start to tremble softly and no one has seen it, except Ryder who looked worried at me. I saw the tan boy mouth 'are you okay' and I nodded with sadness.

"I am right and you know it." Luke said with a smirk and a roll of his eyes as I watch the redhead start to move towards me with his hands in a fist. Before he could get any closer Ivy grabbed him and pulled the boy back so that he wouldn't make the situation even worse. "Luke, why are you doing this?"

I heard Ivy ask with so much strength in her voice that I knew she could get a solid answer out of the blue dyed boy. "I am doing this because Michael took everything from me." A look between the boys made my skin crawl because it seemed like that the redhead knew what he was actually talking about and it scared me.

"W-what do you mean?" I asked, surprised how confident my voice is sounding. I was confused on what was going on. "I'm highly confused on this situation. I want to know the back story of this." I snapped when I saw the two boys share a knowing look; one had a grin while the other glared. "I said what do you mean?" I was losing my temper and I know once I started I couldn't stop.

"That is a another story for another time." Michael looked at my sternly, which made me start to fume quite literally. "No, I think I need to know now." I snapped, glaring at the redhead and I knew Luke was looking at us with amusement.

"Calum, I don't think this is the time to talk about this." I looked at Ryder with narrowed eyes because he is standing up to two people who are making me very angry at the moment. With a huff of annoyance I stood there in silence, until I remembered about Ashton who was still tied up to the chair with a pout on his face. "Um, can you please untie Ashton?" That must of sparked something in Michael cause he started to run toward his stepbrother without Luke caring.

"Took you long enough." Ashton pouted with that cute little frown he does and I was about to coo at the sight but I forget we were in a sticky situation right now with Luke holding a knife by his side. "Ashton this isn't the time for being cute." I could hear small amusement in Michael's voice and a small grin appeared on my face.

"Now back to business." Luke's voice pulled the brothers out of there moment and both of them whipped their head around to glare at the blue dyed boy. "What is there to talk about?" I shrugged when they all looked at me. "Luke won't let you guys go until he can have me." I watched Ivy and Harry look at me confusedly. "No, that's not true."

"Actually, it is." Luke said with a large smile on his pale face. Everyone looked confused, besides me and Luke and they waited for him to continue. "Have you chosen Calum?" I could feel all eyes on me and Michael, being the brave one asked. "What do you mean?"

"How about we let Calum explain."
