Falling For You (5SOS fanfic)

Sorry

Michael's POV

"Are your parents home?"

I snapped out of my drunken state and stared at the house we had just parked outside of. I fumbled a bit with my fingers and closed my eyes, trying to remember what my mom had told me before I left the house.

"Umm no."

"Okay good." Maria nodded before she opened the car door and got out.

My head was filled with thoughts about what was going on. I didn't have the urge to fight her but at the same time I wanted to scream at her. She knew what she had done was wrong, but then again I was no better.

I watched as she made her way around the car and to my side. Sure, I was mad at her but something inside me wanted her to take care of me like she always did. Maybe I missed it.

"Michael." Her soft voice rang through my ears as she opened the passenger door and helped me out. Then she put her arm around my waist and started to walk up the steps to the house.

I didn't say anything as she helped me. The girl I thought I knew and loved for years had become a complete stranger to me.

"Keys?"

"Um, the usual place."

Maria walked me over to the door and let go of me as I leaned against it. She knelt down, lifted up the doormat, and grabbed the spare key we keep under it.

She unlocked the door and pushed it open. "Let's get you upstairs okay?"

I followed her upstairs to my bedroom and tossed myself onto the bed once inside. My eyes began to feel heavy but I didn't want to sleep. At least, not yet.

"Sooo." Maria dragged as she leaned against the wall by the door. "I'm going to get you some water and maybe some food?"

"Okay." I felt my lips turn into a small smile as she walked downstairs.

As I waited for Maria to return, I slowly began to sober up and the disgusting smell of vomit and alcohol started to make its way to my nose. I had to take a shower.

I got up from the bed but immediately felt dizzy. I took small steps as I walked out into the hallway and towards the bathroom right next to Brianna's room.

As I entered the bathroom, I felt nauseated again and sat down on the toilet.

I didn't know what I was doing. Somehow, I had managed to get up from the toilet and climbed into the tub. I turned on the water and leaned back so I was now lying in the tub. The water fully soaked my clothes and the feeling of warmth spread throughout my body.

After a while, I decided to wet my hair and I sank further down into the tub. Soon enough, I was fully enveloped in the water and my eyes were closed. I felt relaxed.

I didn't know how long I was under until I heard my name being faintly called. I opened my eyes to see a figure that was blurred by the water standing over me and hands coming towards me.

The hands grabbed onto my green flannel shirt and tugged until my head was out of the water.

"Michael what the fuck are you doing?" Maria yelled at me with a shocked expression.

"I wanted to take a shower, but I can't stand or I get dizzy so I decided to take a bath." I was breathing heavily as I shrugged.

"Michael, you were under the water while you were drunk. You could have drowned." She shook her head before she knelt down beside the tub. She looked me over before speaking again. "Why are you fully clothed?"
