Heartbreak For Two - A Michael Clifford Fanfiction

Chapter 8 - Him

My mum had heard us talking and came downstairs. She walked over towards Michael and me in the living room.

"What did I just hear you just talking about?" She wondered about our disagreement.

"Oh, we were just talking.." I covered. I didn't want her knowing Michael cheated on me. She would then hate him even more. Not like I would care anymore though. She doesn't have to approve of us. We aren't dating anymore.

"No.. That wasn't just talking, that was more of an argument," she pointed out. She knew that we were fighting. She knew that something was wrong since we were watching TV and we weren't sitting next to each other or cuddling.

"Fine. Yes, we were arguing, but it's alright now, I guess," Michael told her. Of course, my mum didn't like him 'interrupting' the conversation.

"I wasn't talking to you," mum made clear to him, but as usual, Michael had a comeback for her.

"You never specified who you were talking to," Michael had a point. He always had a comeback with my parents. That's how we always win fights with them.

"Fine. Mia, what was the argument about?" Mum was mad at Michael now in this argument between us three.

"That is for Michael and me to know and us only. We will work it out ourselves. We are independent teenagers," I stood up for myself. If I didn't want her to know, she wouldn't know, and I wouldn't care.

"I am able to know also," she challenged. I realized that it would be better if I told her. That doesn't mean she won, it means I realized that I wanted to tell her.

"Fine. Privately.. I don't want him around," I looked at Michael, and he sat back down on the couch, knowing he was unwanted in the conversation. Mum knew something was up when I said him and not Mikey or even Michael.

Mum and I walked into the kitchen. I thought that if I told her, she wouldn't want Michael around me anymore. She wouldn't want us together. That will be easier for me to not forgive him and go back to dating him, because I know that if I'm around him, I'll be dating him once more. I don't want that to happen. So, I told her.

"He cheated on me," I whispered.

"What!? Why!?" She screeched, obviously unhappy with Michael's actions. Her motherly side was kicking in with him hurting me, also. I knew she was going to end up saying 'I told you so' at some point.

"We had a fight yesterday about him always fighting other guys and getting hurt. He didn't like that I didn't like him getting into fights, so he went off to his old girlfriend's house and had sex with her to make me jealous, I guess," I explained, and she stomped into the living room to Michael.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW, YOU.. YOU ASSHOLE!!" My mother screamed at the top of her lungs at Michael, almost forcing him to leave.

Michael glared at me, knowing I told her. He got off the couch, leaving. When he walked out the door, he slammed it. He only slammed doors when he didn't like how I was acting towards him. I had figured that out, and this time, it was terrible. I thought it would make me feel better if he left, but it didn't. I actually wanted him to come back. I wanted to run outside to him, grab the collar of his shirt, pull him towards me, and make out with him. Something was definitely wrong with me..
