Dear Michael // Michael Clifford

Ch 23 : Cancer

Michael's p.o.v.

I'm a jerk. Zack is her brother, I'm such a fucking idiot. Why am I being such an idiot about this? They kissed twice, but she said it meant nothing. I believe her, but why can't I love her like I used to.

I heard feet shuffle across the floor. I picked my head up and saw Calum. He walked past without looking at any of us. I looked at Ashton and Luke with a confused look and they just shrugged.

"Hey, Calum, where are you going?" I asked.

"Liz wants some water, so I'm getting some for her." He replied not looking at me as he poured a cup of water.

"Let me take it to her." I stood up.

Calum turned around and looked at me with a stone cold stare.

"You've done enough Michael." He spoke seriously.

"I just want to fix things." I said through my gritted teeth.

"You can do that later. Now, you sit down, and leave Liz alone right now." Calum said sternly as if he was my teacher, and honestly I'm kind of scared of him.

I sat back down and kept my head low, keeping my eyes on Calum's black and white vans as he shuffled back into the room.

I groaned and hid my face in my hands.

"Did you find out who Zack is?" Luke asked.

"It's her brother." I groaned again.

"Damn, boy, you having an - I'm not even going to say anything." Ashton shut his mouth.

"You're screwed bro." Luke said.

"I know!" I groaned once again. I should stop groaning.

"Shh!" The lady with a white collared shirt, flannel type skirt, and black high top converse hushed me. I looked up at her and my mouth dropped.

She gave me a confused look before shrugging it off.

"Why do I have to be quiet?" I asked.

"Because patients are sleeping and it's rude to awaken them by your nonsense babbling." She said.

"Do you work here?"

"No, but I practically do. I volunteer here all the time. Now that I'm done with high school I decided to put full time here, I don't get paid, but I like seeing regular patients. Make them feel good and not sad that they have to live here." She explained. Damn.

I nodded my head slowly and noticed her bracelets on her arm. Lets see, Fall Out Boy, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, she's kind of like top 40's chart. Sort of. I wonder if she knows us, we did tour with 1D.
