End Up Here // Michael Clifford

Chapter 37

Another week later-

Today was the day. It was Friday night and tonight around 1am I was going to drive to the airport to pick up the boys. I'm so nervous. My stomach was doing so many flips. Right now Jackie was sitting across from me trying to soothe my nerves.

"It's going to be alright Keely just stay calm."

"What if he doesn't like me anymore?" I questioned.

She laughed, "From what I'm getting, that boy is head over heels in love with you."

I smiled faintly recalling all of the good memories Michael and I shared.

"I'm going to bed." I decided. It will make time go faster.

"Okay but when you get up at one don't wake me up." She smiled patting my knee then exiting. I too walked to my room, and when my head hit the pillow I fell asleep right away.

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

I immediately threw the covers off of me and shut off my alarm not wanting to wake Jackie. I sighed rubbing my eyes as a wandered into the bathroom. It was 11:20pm so I only got about two hours of sleep. I hopped into the shower and let the warm water relax my tensed body. I'm so nervous it's not even funny. Once I got out I blow dried my hair and curled it. I put on one of my new tight black crop tops with a floral high waisted skirt. For my makeup I applied a thin layer a foundation, concealer, and winged my eyeliner. Once I was please with my look I grabbed my purse and keys and headed out of the door. This is it. This is my one chance.

I took a deep breath as I prepared to answer my phone.

"Keely."

"Oh, hey Ash." I smiled nervously.

"Hey Keely we're here." He said as I began to look around for them.

"Okay I see you bye." I said and hung up as I spotted Calum. I started to walk towards him.

"Calum!" I smiled.

He turned around confused at first but smiled too and hugged me.

"I missed ya KiKi." He said and ruffled my hair.

"KEELY!" I heard Ashton yell. I brought Ashton into a big hug.

"I missed you so much Ash!"

"I've missed you more!" He said. I got out of our hug and looked to Luke who was beside him.

"So...how's it going with Mia?" I teased.

"Wonderful." He stuck his tounge out but then hugged me.

"Where is Michael?" I asked.

As if on cue I heard someone call my name. I whipped around hoping it was Michael.

"KEELY!" He yelled running towards me.

In that moment I didn't care who was there, paparazzi, fans, the boys, hell the president could be here, but I don't care. All I could think about was Michael as I ran to him and into his arms. I felt him spin me a bit before my feet touched the ground. Still in his arms I felt myself start to cry.

"Keely, I've missed you so much, please don't cry baby. I love you." He said which just made me cry louder.

"I love you too Michael please don't leave me again. Please don't leave me again." I whispered to him.

"I won't I promise." He said pulling out of our hug. His eyes widened, "Keely, your, your so different."

I frowned, "Bad different?"

He shook his head frantically, "No no you look beautiful as always, but why did you change yourself Keely? You never wore makeup?" He asked bringing his hand to my cheek.

My vision blurred with tears, "I-I though if I changed for, for you, that you would like me better." I choked on my tears as I slipped back into Michael's arms.

"No! Keely how dare you even think that! I love you no matter what you look like, even though your gorgeous. Your the most beautiful girl in the world." He said swaying us from side to side. I had my eyes closed but I could hear cameras snap.

"Michael-" I pulled away my eyes widening.

"Shh, it's okay. I don't give a fuck what they think." He said pulling me back to him.

"I love you Michael."

"I am so stupidly, deeply, and madly in love with you Keely."
