Lia's POV

Luke finishes cleaning off my cuts and the excess blood of my face. He kisses my head and stares at me. "Lia, I love you so much. I'm so happy your not dead." He says kissing my head again.

"Yeah, me too." I say laughing. Calum walks up with a glass of water and an ice pack to help my eye.

"So, what the hell happened?" Calum says leaning against the counter. I run my hands through my hair and sigh.

"Well, I was sleeping, heard the door open. I assumed it was Luke, and walked downstairs. Well it wasn't Luke, but a curly haired lad named Ashton. He knocked me out and took me to this place. A guy named Zayn said he was trying to kill us both. He beat me up a bunch, I woke up in a room, escaped the through the vents and killed a man. And here I am." I say shrugging.

"You killed a man?!" Calum says surprised. Luke lets out a forced laugh and then turns serious.

"What the hell?!" Luke screams at me. "I'm mad but strangely proud!" He says laughing and running his hand through his quiff. He takes his hand in mine and slowly runs his thumb over the back.

"Luke, Calum," I say looking at both of them, "They're gonna be back. We have to leave." I say jumping off the counter and crossing my arms.

"Lia, I don't kn-," Luke starts but Calum cuts him off.

"I agree. It's not safe here. They want to kill you both and they won't stop till your dead." Calum says placing his hand on Luke's shoulder. Luke looks over at me and then nods his head yes.

"Where are we gonna go though?" I ask. Walking closer to them. They both glance at each other and I and we stand in silence.

"My family owns a place up in the moutains. We never go there and I never talk to them." Calun says and we all look over at each other. "What do you guys say?"

"Yeah. Staying here is asking to get killed." I say and they all nod.

Once I finish packing a large amount of clothes I'm forced to get into Calum's car.

"Luke, I wanna ride with you!" I say fighting against his grip and he laughs as he pushes me into Calum's car.

"Lia, if they see my car they're gonna assume you're in it! I'm not having both of us die!" He says which makes me angrier.

"Lucas, I wanna be with you!" I say still fighting his grip. I suddenly feel two hands (that aren't Luke's) grab me and drag me into the car. The door is shut and locked.

"I hate you. I just wanted to make sure you know." I say to Calum and he just laughs. He starts the car and I watch us drive away with Luke following close behind.

"Here, call him and talk to him if you need to so bad." Calum says throwing his phone in the back seat. I quickly grab it and find Luke's contact.

"Hey baby girl." Luke says sweetly and I about melt into my seat. I smile and we sit in silence for a second. "If this is Calum I'm going to fucking kill you." Luke says harshly.

"N-no, it's me, Lia." I say quickly. I hear him chuckle a little. "I love you Luke." I say quietly, almost hoping he won't hear.

"I love you too. I'm gonna keep you safe. I promise." He says and I bite my lip to keep from smiling.

"Why do you care about me so much?" I ask quietly. We still haven't known each other for very long and it makes me wonder.

"Why shouldn't I? I wanna grow old with you and I wanna be the cute punk rock couple and I wanna watch the stars with you and I wanna sing you to sleep and I wanna- well the list doesn't really have an end. Think of all the numbers between 0 and 1 (thank you John Green). They're endless. That's how long the list is. It doesn't end." He says with a sigh. I smile so big I think my face is gonna break. "Falling in love with you is like dying. Let me explain, so it doesn't sound weird. It's hopeless. You can't fight it and you can't run away from it. Acceptance is the best bet. I'm in love with you Lia and I will shout it from the rooftops. I'm in love with you and nothing will change that." He finally finishes.

"I love you." I say feeling like my stomach is doing backflips. I have nothing else to say. No words can explain how hopelessly in love I am with him. I know loving him is probably one of the worst decisions I could make but it seems like it's right. "I love you so much." I say again. I just listen to him breathing on the other end and he does the same with me.

"Well, even though that was disgustingly cute, my phone is gonna die. We only have like 3 hours left. Can you guys handle?" Calum says making me laugh.

"Three hours?!" I say dramatically. Calum just sighs and looks back at the road. "Plan to shut Calum up was a success." I say and I hear Luke laugh on the other end.

"Hey! If my phone dies you won't be able to talk to him for 3 hours." Calum says. I sigh and tell Luke goodbye and I hang up the phone. "Oh, calm down. He's literally right behind us." He says rolling his eyes.

"W-when did you get into this business?" I ask softly. Calum laughs a little and I see a smile grow on his face.

"You mean killing people?" He asks sarcastically. I nod quickly and he thinks for a second. "I don't know. My family kicked me out and Zayn took me in." He says. Zayn. He was the one who beat me up. Who told me he wanted Luke dead too. "Zayn was already in the business and so he had me join. Not sure when I started exactly." He says.

I nod and Calum turns up the radio and we just sit in silence for the rest of the ride.

"Wake the fuck up, butter cup." I hear and my eyes slowly open. I see the night sky and I'm swaying from side to side. I see Calum's face and he glances down at me and then we enter a house. He places me down on the couch and then he quickly leaves.

"Hey baby girl." I hear a familiar deep husky voice say. Luke is leaning down next to me and he runs his fingers through my hair. I smile sleepily at him and he just kisses me softly on the lips. "Calum said you fart in your sleep." Luke says. It takes me a second to process and then I quickly sit up.

"No! I hear bullshit!" I scream and Luke bursts out in to laughter and Calum just stares at me. I get up and storm over to Calum. "Why do you have to lie!" I say, slamming my foot down.

"I'm not lying! You do!" Calum says stepping forward. I can just hear Luke dying from laughter behind us.

"Yes, you are! I don't fart in my sleep!" I say pushing Calum playfully. He pushes me back and then suddenly we are on the floor attacking each other. Luke is now screaming from laughter and Calum and I are just rolling around.

"Dog pile!" I hear Luke scream and he flops down onto us and we both let out a gasp. I climb on top of Luke and Calum tackles me off of Luke.

"You're dead!" I scream and I quickly attack Calum back and then Luke comes and starts tickling me. I start

laughing uncontrollably. "Uncle! Uncle!" I scream and Luke finally stops and we all sit on the floor laughing.

"I don't fart in my sleep." I say after we all catch our breath. Calum rolls his eyes and gets up, walking into the kitchen. Luke and I laugh at Calum's reaction.

"You should go to bed." Luke says holding my cheek and rubbing his thumb back and fourth.

"Please sleep with me." I say and a mischievous grin grows on Luke's face.

"If you insist." He says leaning in to kiss me. After our lips meet I scoff at him.

"Not sexually. Idiot." I say and I roll my eyes and quickly get up. We walk into the kitchen and Calum is sitting on the counter with a large bag of chips, stuffing his face.

"Ahsks garfle buttlet." Calum says, spitting out some chips whilst talking. I start laughing at his attempt to speak. Luke walks over and pushes Calum.

"That's disgusting!" Luke says and Calum throws a chip at Luke's quiff. Surprisingly it stays in his hair causing me to laugh even harder. Luke then grabs the chip out of his hair and puts it down Calum's shirt then hitting his chest, making the chip crush. Calum pushes Luke away and then quickly shakes the chip pieces out of his shirt. I yawn and sit down in a chair.

"Hey douche bag, your little girl friend is yawning! Take her to bed!" Calum screams pushing Luke off of him. I laugh and Luke walks over and kisses me on his lips. Suddenly Luke picks me up and I squeal.

"Calm down. I won't drop you." He says and I grip tightly onto his shirt. He carries me up to a bed room and he places me in the bed. He kicks off his shoes and he climbs in next to me. "Go to bed. We have to unpack and shit tomorrow." He says quietly into my ear. I nod and roll on my side.

"Goodnight. I love you." I say.

"Goodnight. I love you too."

I awake too the doorbell going off. Within seconds Luke is up and putting his shoes on. "L-Luke, whose here?" I ask, voice still hoarse from sleep. Suddenly Calum bursts in, tossing a gun to Luke. A gun? "G-guys?" I ask sitting up. Luke looks over at me and then nods at Calum. They both leave, shutting the door behind them.

Zayn.

If Zayn is here he'll kill them both. I quickly get up and run to the door. I sprint down the stairs and see Luke and Calum holding someone at gun point. The boy turns and looks at me and...

"Ashton?" I say and Luke and Calum look over at me but bring their attention quickly back to Ash. "N-no. Stop." I say running over and standing in front of their guns. "What the fuck Ashton?" I say quietly to him.

"I had enough of Zayn's shit." He says. The boys have finally lowered their guns but they're still firmly in their hands.

"How can we trust you?" Calum says, anger apparent in his voice. Ashton looks at me and then walks in front of me. He grabs Calum's wrist and puts the gun right up to his head.

"Shoot me." We all look at him like he's crazy. "If you don't trust me, shoot me." He says. Calum wrips his wrist out of Ashton's grip and Ashton smiles weakly.

"I'm going to bed." Calum says angrily, storming up the stairs and slamming the door behind him.

"You're sleeping in the spare bedroom and I'm locking the door. I'll let you out in the morning." Luke says and Ashton nods. Luke points the gun to the back of Ashton's head and Luke holds my hand as we walk up the stairs. He shoves Ashton in his room and locks the door, putting the key in his pocket.

"Luke, you're being a little harsh." I say and he doesn't respond. We walk into our room and then he shuts our door. He forces me into the bed with no words said. "L-Luke, he's okay."

"Lia, he's the one who took you to Zayn and I don't trust him. Go to bed." He says harshly and I just nod and I turn away from him and I close me eyes.
