Luke's POV

"Luke?!" Ashton yelled as he opened the door but stopped still when he saw Mr Bates on top of me in the corridor.

"Help!" I tried shouting and Mr Bates somewhat laughed at me.

"You get the fuck away from him!" Ashton shouted, rushing towards us and Mr Bates quickly got up and moved backwards, Ashton helped me up and pushed me behind him. "How the hell are you here?" He spat at Mr Bates, obviously scared and confused.

"I escaped from prison for Luke, been 5 days and you've only just found out. I think that's quite impressive." Mr Bates laughed.

"You stay away from Luke you crazy paedophile." Ashton spat and pushed me back further, trying to create even more distance between me and Bates.

Mr Bates just smirked, "I can't help that I like Luke."

"No but you can stay the hell away from him, you're an old pervert who needs to go fuck someone who is actually your age."

"I'm not even old." Mr Bates sounded offended.

"The 22 year age gap makes you old and creepy and a paedophile." Ashton growled, growing more angry with Bates with every passing sentence.

"I'm not a paedophile now he's 18, I wasn't when he was 16 either." Mr Bates defended.

"Like that matters, he's still too young for you and I suggest you just get away from him. I know the police are coming." Ashton said and that seemed to scare Mr Bates as well as make him slightly angry.

"I'll be back for you, Luke." Mr Bates threatened before rushing off in the opposite direction, taking the stairs.

When he'd gone, I let out a deep sigh of relief, instantly feeling better he was gone but my panic started to come back when I remembered that he was still free and he just told me he'd come back for me. Wasn't the most reassuring thing to hear from the pervert that escaped from prison just to find you.

"Luke, are you ok?" Ashton asked as he turned around.

"I-I don't know." I replied honestly.

"The police are coming, I got a phone call just before I heard you yelling. You're safe ok baby?" Ashton placed his hands on my cheeks to reassure me.

"I'm just a little shocked, I-I'll be fine." I said and Ashton smiled weakly at me before taking me into Malum's room. The pair were passed out on their bed.

"Gonna have fun telling them this." Ashton said and I just nodded, he sighed and placed his arm over my shoulder. "I'm not gonna let him hurt you, Luke. You know that right?"

"I know, I'm just shocked."

"So am I but I didn't think he would already be here. I mean when they told me he'd been out 5 days and I hadn't seen him, I thought you had more time but apparently he's just been stalking you again."

"Thanks for bringing that up." I mumbled and sat down on the edge of Malum's bed.

"I'm sorry." Ashton said quickly before sitting next to me and taking my hand.

Before any more could be said between us, there was a knock on the door, 'Police, open up' then followed. Ashton got up from the bed and opened the door, "Are you Luke Hemmings?" The police man asked.

"No but he's here." Ashton said and gestured to me.

"Sir, they'll all in here." The officer then yelled down the corridor, presumably to his boss.

His boss then came up to the door, "Are you boys alright?" He asked and Ashton and I nodded, Malum obviously not even aware of the situation.

"The hotel is being placed in a state of lock down because Bates has been spotted in this hotel, have you boys seen him?" He asked and I answered before Ashton got the chance.

"We have, he was in our room and he essentially tried to kidnap me." I said and the officer nodded before walking out of the room to make a call.

"We've contacted your parents and told them the situation, we have 2 officers on the case on their way over here to take you back home." The other officer explained and Ashton and I just nodded. "I suggest you wake your friends up."

Ashton nodded before walking back over to the bed to wake up Malum, I just sat looking kind of awkward because I knew now that Malum would be worried about me and I've ruined their night.

"Michael, get up." Ashton said as he shook Michael's shoulder. Michael just groaned and pulled Calum closer to his body. "Michael, you need to get up." He said again and this time Michael did wake up.

"What is it?" He asked Ashton, Calum still fast asleep in his arms.

"Mr Bates has escaped and he's tried coming after Luke." Ashton said to Michael who looked instantly angry and concerned.

"What? Is he ok?" Michael asked and Ashton just nodded before he pointed at me, Michael looked at me. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine." Was all I said and he looked as though he didn't believe me but he didn't question me on it and decided to wake Calum up instead.

Ashton seemed to be able to sense my mood change as he sat back down next to me and pulled me into him. He pressed a kiss to the side of my head, "You're gonna be alright Lukey, I'll make sure that you're alright." Ashton said quietly to me before giving me another kiss to the head.

What he said did nothing to help my mood and I kind of felt bad for him for that, he was just trying to make me feel better and I know that. Just Mr Bates being back and him coming after me really make me feel vulnerable and scared and I didn't think any amount of reassuring words from Ashton would make me feel better.

A/N: This is so crap, I'm sorry. I was really stuck and then ended up with this. Bleh...

Anyway, thanks for the response on the last chapter, you guys really seemed to like it which was surprising. I hope you can do the same for this one too because it's nice to know people actually like this book and the chapters I thought were especially shit. Gives me the confidence in writing that I know I lack.

Thank you for that.
