All I Ever Wanted..

Part 9

Hannah's POV.

I looked up at Michael, who had his chin resting against my head. "So, are you going to tell me why you never told me?" I asked. 

He sighed, looking down at me. "You're not gonna let it go?" 

"Nope." 

He took a deep breath before he began, "Well, I just didn't want to ruin you and Ara's relationship. Plus, you never showed any interest in me, so I just thought you never really liked me. And anytime I'd see you with your newest boyfriends, you seemed happy and that's all I wanted. Was for you to be happy, even if it wasn't with me." He said, not looking at me. 

"You should've told me, no one should have to keep their feelings to themselves like that," I stated firmly. He let out a small smile, wrapping me back in his arms. I could honestly say, I felt safe. He was warm and I felt protected. I couldn't remember one time that I was around Michael and I didn't feel safe. Whenever a boy broke my heart he had always offered to beat him into a bloody pulp. At first, I didn't know why because Michael was supposed to torture me and Ara, not help us out. But that's what brothers are for, to watch out for you so that's all that I ever thought of him as.

"Michael?" I asked. 

"Hmm?"

"I'm glad I found out.." I whispered, and he looked at me confused. 

I pulled out my phone and messaged Calum. 

To: Calum

"I'm sorry Cal, but I think we need a break. I need to sort some of my feelings out." 

From: Calum

"I knew it was going to happen. Don't worry, take all the time you need<3" 

I smiled and looked at Michael. He still looked at me confused. "I-Uh... I broke up with Calum.." I said. 

"What?! Why?" He asked. 

"Well, first if I'm with him it's hard to figure out what I want for myself. And two, I just.. I didn't see it working out.." I said. A grin broke out on his face as he pulled me back on the bed. I chuckled, laying beside him and looking at the wall. For some reason, I felt wrong. Like Ara's going to hate me because I'm here with her brother. 

"I'm guessing Ara knows?" I nodded, and he just shook his head. 

"So, now what?" I asked, not sure what else to say. 

Michael shrugged standing up. He pulled on his sweatshirt and walked to my door, "Are you going to walk me out, or?.." He asked smirking. I smiled, following him. We made it to the front door and he turned around. 

"Thanks for last night... For the thing with my mom.." I said trailing off and he nodded. 

"Anytime, you shouldn't be treated like that." He said. 

"It's fine. I'm used to it." I whispered. 

I felt his hand cup my cheek, "You shouldn't be, though. You shouldn't be put through it." He said. I stared up into his green orbs, as he looked down at me. I saw him slowly leaning forward until our lips crashed together. My hand went on the back of his neck, pulling him closer, as he pushed me against the wall. Without realizing it, we were back in my room. 

********

"So, what happened?" Ara asked. 

"What do you mean?" I asked innocently. 

"You and Michael! I know he came over!" She said, watching me, "You guys didn't..?" 

I shook my head, "No! We uh... We talked for a little bit and then he went to go leave. Next thing I know we're making out." I said honestly. She shook her head, smiling. 

"I can't believe you two." 

Ara's POV. 

"Luke!" I squealed as he tickled me. He laughed loudly as he watched me squirm around. 

"I'm going to pee myself!" I yelled, and he laughed. This went on for another 5 minutes before he let me go. 

"So, what's going on with Hannah and Michael?" Luke asked. 

"Apparently, they had a heated make-out session,  she and Calum are officially done," I said. He nodded and looked away taking a deep breath. 

"As long as everyone's happy." He said, nodding. I nodded as well and laid back, my head going into his lap. 

"I'm tired," I complained. 

"Go to sleep then." He said, his hand going through my hair. 

I nodded, and snuggled into him, smiling. "Goodnight," I whispered. 

"Goodnight, love." He answered.
