Michael Clifford's Secret Sister

✖20✖

Maekayla's point of view

The power had gone out due to the storm and I was in the living room with all of the guys. Michael had explained to me that our parents went on a business trip and won't be home until a week, at the least.

We all were dying to use our phones, but there was no power, so we couldn't charge them when the battery died down. It was terrible, but, we had kept ourselves entertained.

We had opened the curtains so we could watch the lightening and the rain and I had brought out my guitar. Michael had lit a few candles and so not only did we have light, the room smelt of french Vanilla.

Michael. I had forgiven him not too long ago. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing. I had actually forgiven him. He had ran after me in the pouring rain and stopped me from jumping off that cliff, no matter how desperately I wanted to at the time. He was also so sincere when he apologized and practically spoke an essay to me.

I hope I don't regret forgiving him. I was always easily forgiving and naïve. I was also extremely gullible. I didn't want to find out he was lying, however, I didn't want to keep pushing him away.

If I kept pushing him away, he would have given up. He would have stopped trying and if he did, that'd be the end. There would have been no hope to fix this bond. I didn't want that to happen.

I was pulled out of my thoughts as the chords to my favorite song were being played. I could see it was Michael who had the guitar and he was leaned against the couch with his eyes closed.

"You're just a daydream away, I wouldn't know what to say if I had you," I sang quietly and Michael looked at me. I didn't know that he knew this was my favorite song. I hadn't told anyone before, and was shocked his found out.

"And I'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from a safe place, so I never have to lose," Michael sung and Ashton threw his arm over my shoulder, smiling dowm at me as Michael continued to sing.

"I told you you'd work it all out," he told me and I nodded. We worked it out. Even if it did take me almost commiting suicide twice, an ocean of tears, deep confessions, and lots of hugging. Although, I didn't mind the hugging part.

Me and Michael sang the chorus together and then he stopped the song after. "How'd you know that was my favorite song?" I asked him and he smiled.

"I've heard you mumbling it, and humming it, whenever you walked by us before." He answered. "And um, that was creepy, but I noticed it." He said and I nodded.

He handed me my guitar and I hummed. I started playing a song that's been stuck in my head and I nodded along to it. It sounds better with an electric, but oh well.

They looked confused as I played it and I shook my head. God, do they not listen to Bon Jovi? He's a legend! How does one not listen to him? He's amazing, better than a lot of the 'music' being put out right now.

"Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give love a bad name," I sang. "I play my part, and you play your game, you give love a bad name."

I instantly thought of Max while playing and put more emotion into the song. It became louder and I got more into it. Michael smiled and Calum did the same. Luke nodded along to the song and Ashton just watched me play.

Suddenly, Ashton banged on our wooden coffee table to the song and I laughed. So he did know the song. I smiled and nodded my head, my bangs falling in my face. Ashton joined in on the singing and it was just a wonderful time.

We were all bonding and being silly and it was great. The thunder roared again and I looked outside. I saw the lightning and for some strange reason, I ached to go back outside again. However, I wanted to do something different than run away.
