I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 16.

Our flight was at 2 in the afternoon and it was now 10. Cristiano was going to drive me to the airport in about 20 minutes or so. I texted Eva and she said she’d take my case for me.

I’d made some pancakes early this morning for Cris and I to have before I left. We were just sat on the sofa casually eating them whilst watching the TV when there was a knock at the door. I looked at Cris and he looked at me before going to answer the door.

‘’erm…Alice, I think this one’s for you…’’ He moved away from the door frame to reveal Michael stood there. I gulped and walked to the door.

‘’yes?’’ I said in a weak voice. This was the first time we’ve spoken since 2 days ago. I could tell he was nervous because his hands were stuffed in his pockets, something he only did if he was cold or nervous. We’re in Spain, it’s not going to be because it’s cold is it?

‘’Eva told me you were here, we need to fly home now’’ he said awkwardly

‘’I know, Cristiano was going to drive me to the airport’’

‘’oh right…’’

‘’hey can I ask you something?’’ Cris butted in to the conversation

Michael shrugged. ‘’I guess’’.

‘’why did you say us Real players were man-slags?’’ he raised an eyebrow. Michael looked at me with a hurt expression

‘’Michael I’m sorry I didn’t-‘’

‘’I said it because I know what you’re like. I said it because I didn’t want Alice to get hurt’’ Michael said, he took his hands out of his pocket.

‘’well she’s fine, have I done anything? No’’

‘’Alice we need to go please’’ Michael was getting agitated.

‘’no’’ I said in a whisper

Michael turned on his heels to face us again. ‘’what?’’

‘’I said no, I’m not going back, you called Cristiano and his friends something they’re not, you didn’t need to’’

‘’I only did it because I wanted to protect you!’’ he shouted

‘’yeah well I don’t need protecting! I’m an adult!’’ I shouted back

‘’Yeah well it doesn’t seem like it since you totally ignored me and Patrice!’’

‘’I don’t need you around me all the time! Why do you even care if they talk to me or if I date Cristiano, it’s got nothing to do with you!’’

‘’Yes it has because I love you!’’ both mine and Cristiano’s jaws dropped. We stood in silence until I spoke up again.

‘’well you have a very funny way of showing it. Tell my parents I’ll come visit sometime. Goodbye Michael…’’ I closed the front door and lost my best friend who said he loves me.
