Wrecked • Michael Clifford

Chapter 7

I woke up to the sound of Michael's alarm clock. I turned over to see Michael sitting on the side of the bed. "What are you doing?" I said roughly. "Sorry babe. I didn't mean to wake you up. I have a meeting with the band today then we're all coming here to hang out." He said with his raspy voice. I rolled over and looked at the clock to see it was 9:30 which was way to early to be up. "What time is the meeting?" I asked sitting up and running my fingers through my curly hair. "10:30. I'm getting in the shower." Michael said walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.

I got up thinking that I would have to take a shower before the rest of the guys came here and I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep so I might as well get up now. I walked down the hall to the other bathroom in Michael's house. I jumped at my reflection in the mirror. I still had mascara on my cheeks and my hair was a total mess. I forgot to get my makeup wipes in the bathroom in the bedroom so I walked back into the bedroom and opened the bathroom door not even knocking I grabbed the wipes. "Lyric what are you doing?" Michael asks. "Calm down. I forgot my makeup stuff." I said yawning and closing the door.

I walked out of the bathroom with just a towel around me. I entered the bedroom and saw Michael scrambling through one of his drawers. "Need help finding something?" I asked as Michael jumps. "Shit. Lyric you scared me. I guess I'm not use to anyone else being here." He said. He pulled out a long sleeve gray t shirt. "You can't wear that." I said seriously. "What? Why?" He spun around and looked at me like I was an idiot. "Because it would be a perfect shirt to go with my leggings." I said smiling and taking out of his hand. I grabbed my black leggings and went into the bathroom to change before walking back into the bedroom. "You're right. It looks way better on you." He said smiling. "Thank you Clifford." I said ruffling his damp red hair as I walked over to the dresser. "I have to go. It's 10:15." Michael said walking towards me. "Don't get fired." I said kissing his cheek. "Don't plan on it." He said as I heard the front door shut.

I went downstairs and sat at the marble island in the middle of the black kitchen. I checked my Twitter and noticed I had another 100 followers. I rummaged through the cabinets to try and find something to eat. I found some cereal and sat down to eat it. When I was done I went upstairs to get ready. I decided to just do my foundation and mascara since we were just hanging at home. I threw my hair up in a wavy, messy ponytail. I put on my black "nerd" glasses on not wanting to put in my contacts. I looked at the clock and it was already 11:30.

I went downstairs and called Pizza Hut to order 2 pizzas for the boys. I started to sit down on the couch before I stopped realizing that the meeting Michael is at is with my dad. He is going to ask them where I am! What is Michael going to say? I ran over to my phone to call Michael when the doorbell rang. I sat the phone down letting it ring and walked over to the door. "It'll be 15 dollars." The girl said with a smile on her face. I handed her the money. "yeah thanks." I said slamming the door.

Michael and the boys finally got home at 12:40. "I ordered pizza. It's in the kitchen." I said to the guys. "Thanks Lyric your such a sweat heart Ashton said kissing the top of my head. "You're welcome." I said laughing. "Hey back off bro Lyrics mine." Calum said punching Ashton playfully. "Yo we all know she's mine, right? That's kinda why she's living at my house at not you guys." Michael said stopping everyone from getting pizza. "Since when do you say yo?" Luke asks. "Wait! Since when does she live here?" Ashton says confused. "Since I ran away from my parents. They think they can control me. Don't you guys tell anybody. I mean it." I said seriously. "We promise." They all say in unison.

It was about 12 that morning before they all left. "Gosh. I love them guys. They're like the brothers I've always wanted." I said standing up to bring all the empty cups to the kitchen. "I love you." Michael said following me with empty pizza boxes. "You're like the perfect girlfriend. You buy me pizza and you help clean up the mess." He said smiling. "Wow I haven't been asked to be anyone's girlfriend." I said with a smirk on my face. Rolling his eyes he got down on one knee and pulled something out of his pocket. "Lyric Paige Johnson will you forever and always be my girlfriend?" He said smiling and opened his hand revealing a silver ring. "Forever." I said hugging him. He was about to slip the silver band on my finger when I noticed it said something around the inside. "What does it say?" I said. I read it out loud forever X. "What's the X for?" I asked looking at the ring. "It's our forever." He said showing me his matching black and silver ring. "Michael I love it." I said almost crying. I kissed him. It wasn't like the first kiss we had. It was more. It was different. It meant something.

That night I feel asleep laying next to my boyfriend. It was the best feeling in the world at least until the next day it was.
