DERANGED

Twenty Seven: Where did you go?

Noah's POV

I was on the hotel balcony with Luke having a drink. Lexi and Sam were sleeping as Michael was scrolling through his phone on the couch. It was six in the morning but I couldn't even sleep if I wanted to. I filled up my cup again.

"Take it easy" Luke said as he started to yawn.

"Sorry" I said sighing. I could see Michael getting up and I could see him just stand there, looking at Sam.

"I hate him" I said gripping my cup

"You hate him because you know he can take Sam from you" Luke said taking a sip from his cup

"Yeah I fuck up tons but she is with me" I said

"You can't be pissed at him. He is trying to protect her. He's had that role since he knew what Theo did to Sam" Luke said

"Be happy you have someone else to look out for her" He said

"But he wants her. She slept with him" I said

"Give her time" Luke said yawning again and getting up from his seat. Michael came out.

"You want a cup" I asked

"No I can't sleep" Michael said

"I'm going to bed, don't beat each other up" Luke said leaving the balcony.

"Sure you don't want a drink?" I asked

"Positive but thanks" He said

"I'm keeping thinking that no matter how far we go. Theo is going to come along" Michael said

"We won't let him get the girls" I said

"You know that we are all done for. I was messing with his girlfriend at the time and then started to protect her from him" Michael said

"And now you are dating her and he sure as hell knows it" Michael said

"He won't find us" I said finishing my cup and setting it down.

"I think we should keep going" Michael said

"Then let's do it. I trust you" I said

"Baby" I heard my girlfriend as the slider door opened

"Why are you awake?" I asked as she walked over to me wrapped in her blanket

"Bad dream" She said rubbing her eyes

"Can you come to bed" She said looking at me. She was scared to death and honestly I am also.

"We should probably all go in so we can get a game plan later" Michael said

"Yeah we will come in, love" I said and she went in and we followed in.

SAMMY'S POV

I woke wrapped in Noah's arms. I smiled looking up at him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I got up from the bed and saw that Michael was nowhere to be seen. I peered out the door and didn't see him. I closed the door and shook my head.

FLASHBACK

"Where did you run off to last night?" I asked as I could feel Lexi walk up on Michael and I talking.

"Why does it matter?" Michael asked getting defensive 

"We needed you last night" Lexi chimed in

"Sam, told me that she doesn't want a man to come in and always save the day" Michael said

"Are you kidding me?" I asked

"You said it" Michael said as the school bell rang

"Michael, we are skipping. You coming with" Theo asked

"Yeah" Michael said

"Fuck you, Michael" I said and Theo got closer to me. 

"Shut up" He said wrapping his hand around my throat. Michael shoved him off.

"We are at school" Michael said

"Let's go" Theo said starting to walk

"Actually you guys are not skipping. Get to class" The principal said turning the corner

"Yes" Lexi said as I followed her to class

END OF FLASHBACK

I pulled my phone out as I went out to the balcony. I called Michael's phone and could hear it ringing inside. I opened the balcony door and grabbed it. I ended my call. I could see Lexi wake up.

"What's going on?" Lexi asked

"Michael's phone is here but he is nowhere to be seen" I said typing in his password into his phone. I stopped and sighed seeing his wallpaper was a picture of us.

I went into calls to see he made calls this morning. I went to his text messages to see he was texting someone this morning. I was about to click the text message and then his phone died. I went over to the phone charger and plugged it in.

"I'm going to go down to the lobby" I said

"I'll go with you" Lexi said getting out of Luke's arms.

"Wait" I said and I stopped in my track. I went to look for Noah's jeans. I grabbed them off the floor to see the car keys were gone.

"What are you guys doing?" Luke said as Lexi stood up from the bed.

"Michael is gone. He took the car keys" I said

"He took my car?" Noah asked as he sat up

"I don't think that is what we need to worry about" I said, I could see his phone turn back on. I typed in his password and went to the text.

: Hey Michael

Michael: Who is this?

:Doesn't matter. I have something you want and you have something I want.

Michael: Who are you?

: Michael, I have your sisters. Bring your group with and I won't hurt them.

Michael: How the fuck do you have my sister?? 

:That was the easy part. We are best friends, they trust me.

Michael: Send me the location

:Great, call me and I'll give it to you.

Michael: Fine

"He left to get his sisters. Theo has his sisters" I said 

"We have to leave. We have to help" I said

"You think going and helping would help us" Noah said

"No, but he said to bring his gang and his sisters are his" I said

"Why didn't he take us with" Lexi asked

"He either gave them our locations or he is going in there with nothing" I said

"Well great" Noah said

"We don't have a car and none of us can rent one" Noah said

"When was this?" Luke asked

"Seven am" I said

"It's one" Lexi said looking at her phone

"We have been sleeping for that long?" Noah asked

"Do you think that they could be on the way here?" I asked

"Michael wouldn't do that to us" Lexi said

"But it's his sisters or us. He would pick his sisters" I said

"I'm scared" Lexi said 

"I think we need to get out of here. We will debate in the car if we will save his ass" Luke said

"Should we take an uber back?" I asked

"I guess that is our only choice" Noah said getting up. I walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around me.
