I Got You (Michael Clifford Fanfiction)

Chapter 32 - Dating, Medicine, and Changes

Ash's POV

"What are you guys yelling about?" I asked. They both just looked at me. "Well?" They both said. Mari looked like she was going to explode from holding something back. "What's going on? What do I not know?" I asked. Still more silence followed. "I told you earlier...lady problems." Sky said as she made an awkward face at me. God, what are we going to do with these two. I don't want to find any period blood on the sheets in the morning. "Okay. Just stop yelling you two." I said and walked back to the living room. The boys were sitting there in silence. I swear you could cut the tension with a knife. Haha, song reference.

"So, how are they." Michael asked. He seemed on edge and very nervous. "They are fine, just lady problems. I think Mari took her drugs like she is supposed to and they are just fine." I said. I wanted to calm him down, but I couldn't really do that unless I knew what was wrong. "Ok, so what are we doing for that interview tomorrow?" Calum said, obviously sensing some awkward vibes. "Well," Luke started, "we could always just wing it or we could have our manager give arrange questions. People might start asking questions about the girls because I saw something about Mari on Twitter." He was right. There were a lot of questions recently being asked to us about the girls. I also saw some mean tweets to Mari too so I'm not sure how we might deal with this.

Mari walked in about 30 minutes after we decided to just wing it and get some good rest. It was about 9:00 and we all knew Mari had already started her amnesia. She was skipping around until she laid eyes on Michael. He gave her an apologetic look but she just looked away and kept skipping. She giggled a few times and went to the bathroom a while later. She is so special, but we all love her. "What is going on between you and Mari?" Calum asked as he gave Michael a confused look. "Nothing....its nothing" Michael said as he walked to his and Mari's room. "Something's up, and I'm going to try and find out what that is," Luke yawned between his thought, "starting tomorrow morning." I laughed because Luke usually stayed up late. Maybe laziness is contagious.

Michael's POV

What am I going to do? I hope she isn't mad at me for kissing her. I don't even know why she ran away like that. I was just caught up in the moment so I leaned in. Did I do something wrong? I heard her giggling in the bathroom across the hall. I wonder why she didn't just use the one connected to our room? I got up and walked over to the door of the bathroom and tried to turn the knob. Locked. "Hello? Mari can I come in?" I said. Maybe she would talk to me even while she is drugged. "Hold on!" She said. I heard shuffling and some kind of noise. It sounded like she was plucking blunt strings. I heard the door unlock and I opened it. There on the floor was Mari with hair all around her. I looked at her and saw that her hair was cut super short. Her hair was about to the tops of her ears and you could tell she did it herself. "Mari? What did you do?!" I asked. The doctor said she wasn't supposed to make any physical change while she is on her loop. She giggled and said, "I got a haircut! Do you like it?" I don't know what to say. "Yeah, it looks good." I said. I didn't want to insult her handy work, but she did do it by herself. What are we going to do when she wakes up in the morning?

She turned around to pick up some of the hair and I noticed some cuts on the back of her neck. She must have caught some of her skin when the cut her hair. "Oh sweetheart, your bleeding. Hold on wait right here, okay?" She nodded and looked worried. I gave her a smile and that calmed her down. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a rag. Without acknowledging the boys I went straight back to the bathroom. I ran the rag in some warm water and pressed it again the cuts. They weren't deep, but they were not just scratches either. She winced and I apologized. she pulled away a few times and it made me a little worried that she didn't trust me. "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded but her face said no. "Do you trust me?" She looked back at me and looked down. She soon nodded and patted my hand without the rag. I continued to clean her cuts and then put a bandage on them. "Thank you." She said and went over to our room. I cleaned up some of the few stray hairs on the counter and followed her into our room about 10 minutes later.

I looked around to see her on the bed with her drugs and needles out. She was giggling like crazy and one needle was in her wrist with the medicine already gone. Did she give herself more? "Hey, what's going on?" I asked. She looked over with a grin on her face. She must have no idea what is going on. "I'm giving myself this happy stuff while I think of you." At least she is being honest. She can't just give herself those drugs though. "Why are you thinking of me?" I asked. I shouldn't be doing this while she is drugged but I wanted to know how she feels. "Because I like you. Always have, always will." She said it like it was no biggy. I just stood there in the door way. She looked over at me after a while and got up. She limped over, wait what. She is limping. I wonder what happened. I met her half way to get her to stop walking on her foot and lead her back to the bed. She still had the needle in her arm, and when I went to take it out she said to not mess with in. She sat down and I picked up her leg. Her ankle was red and swollen. "What happened?" I asked. I gave her a look to make her stop giggling and show her I was serious but it didn't work. "Well, when I got back here I went to the fridge to get a snack to calm me down after you kissed me and I ran. I looked over on the couch and saw Luke and Sky in an intense make-out session. I yelled and ran out the door. I went over to the stair way and started to walk down when I slipped and fell. Maybe I twisted my ankle. But I was already at the bottom so I didn't hurt anything else on me." She said and she looked over her body and nodded to say she didn't hurt herself anywhere else. "Hold on. Did you say that Luke and Sky were making out?" I asked. I am shocked! What are they doing just making out on the couch? "Yup, but I'm not sure that I was supposed to tell you that, so shhhhhh" she said and she gave me a little smile. She seemed drunk with all the medicine in her so I think I'll hide her drugs.

A while later after talking, Mari had a brace on her ankle and I was gathering her drugs up to hide in my suitcase. We had a brace in our first aid kit, you would be surprised how many accidents we get into. "What are you doing?" She asked as she spread herself out on the bed. She is so funny when she is drugged up. "I'm putting your happy stuff away for awhile. This way you don't just give it to yourself." She nodded and looked at the needle that was still in her wrist. "Here take this one!" She said as she slipped it out. I thought she didn't like needles? That was another one of her secrets. I thanked her and put it in the zip-lock with the others. I stuffed them in my suitcase and turned around to see that Mari wasn't there. Where did she go? "Mari?" I called. She couldn't have gone far with that ankle of her's. "Michael?" I heard. Did she not know that she left? She walked out of the bathroom and relief swept over me. Oh thank god. She looked scared and weak. "What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. She held out her hand to show a little razor that goes to my shaving kit. "What did you do?!" She was bleeding quite a bit but nothing that was too bad. "I tried to grab your cologne out of your bag but got stabbed with one of these instead. Michael, it hurts!" She yelled as I touched it a bit. I pulled it out and we went back over to the bathroom to bandage her up. How much is she going to hurt herself tonight. She was softly crying and I pulled her in after she was all cleaned up. "Shhhh, it's okay. Everything is going to be just fine. I promise"
