Out Of My Limit | Michael Clifford

Chapter 17

Emily's POV
I woke up, from being shaken by the driver. I was the last one on the bus and it was the end of the bus service. I must have fallen asleep almost instantly on the bus.
"Miss, miss?" he said. I woke up.
"err... is everything okay?!"
"Yeah, I ummm," I looked around to see I was the last one, "I must have just fallen asleep."
"Well I can see that." he smirked.
"I'm afraid to say its 11.45pm and I'm stopping the services in a quarter of an hour, so... I have one more stop I can take you to. Where do ya need to go?!"
I looked out the window, letting my eyes gradually adjust to the bright bus light and my outside surroundings. I realised I was actually just a corner around away from Luke's and my best friend's Amy's.
"Err actually, I'll get off here if that's okay."
"Of course."
"Thanks."

I gave him the money, which he let me off by pretty much, I hopped off. I watched the bus drive off as the sign turned to:
'Sorry not in service'

I paused for a minute trying to recall what just had happened a few hours ago. Besides how equally close I was with Luke and Amy, Luke was also Michaels best friend, and I really just needed a girl to girl talk. I had just hoped Amy's boyfriend, Will, wasn't in and it could just be me and her. Will was an okay kind of guy. He had the looks, which Amy swoons over, but in my opinion, not my kinda guy. But then again he was good friends with Luke, so maybe I'm just being weird.

So, I walked absentmindedly over to Amy's through the cold, misty, dark night.

Michael's POV
I don't really know what's up with myself to be honest. I didn't want to go home because that would just bring back the memorises and that I should be with her and not by myself. I couldn't go after Emily because I had no clue where she is being taken to. And I couldn't go up to Cal or Ashton's because they're probably both quite occupied at they're apartment after they're double date. I wasn't too sure what Luke was doing tonight but it's worth a try, since I had no other place to really go besides back home anyways. And like I said; I don't particularly like that idea too much. So I drove off to Luke's place, about a half hour drive away. It sounded a long way, but it would kill the time at least.

I was starting to get lonely after about 10minutes, so I decided to play the current cd in the car. Not realising which one it was, I almost turned it back off instantly, with the voice of Green Day, 'Letterbomb' playing. It just felt wrong playing me and Emily's favourite song when she's not here to sing along and go insane with me over it. So I just switched on the next song of the 'American Idiot' album. It played 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'. What the actual fuck?!!!!! I gave up on all these songs teasing me into practically tearing up. So I switched it off all together.

It was extremely dark now and I am currently driving through a narrow driveway, with the only light coming from my dim headlights with the area being deserted. I have to admit I was a little creeped out... who am I kidding... I was scared as fuck!!

But I tried to let it slide and distract myself by chanting over and over what I was going to be saying when I next see Emily. God I missed her. And it had only been like 30minutes!!

I miss her traits, her touch, her smile, her laugh, her insecurities, which were pointless anyways, even her continuous jokey punches and kicks which I pretend annoys me, even though it's too cute, but mainly just the overall feeling of her being with me; NOT being ticked off.

Emily's POV
As I made my way over to Amy's house, it was too dark to see the detail but I saw a brief tall guy walking out of her house, slamming the door and walking off in the opposite direction to me. I was getting a bit worried as to who that may have been and suspicious even and sped up over to the door.

I rang the doorbell.

She answered the door.
"Hey Amy I was wondering if I coul--" I was cut off by Amy throwing herself onto me in a huge hug. I didn't get a proper glimpse of her until she released. She was bright red, with red puffy eyes. Either she'd just woken up from a nightmare or she'd just been through one in reality.
