Say something Great Big World cover, Michael Clifford edit (on top/side)

Calum
I felt Michael shifting in his sleep and I sat up, seeing he was moving around and mumbling incoherent things. I laid back down and closed my eyes, only to be woken up a couple minutes later by a sob. I sat up and turned over, seeing Michael thrashing around, his hair was sticking to his forehead with sweat, his chipmunk cheeks were tear stained and he was still sobbing. I shook his shoulder a little and he jolted awake, throwing his arms around me and sobbing into my shoulder, I rocked him side to side and rubbed his back. "You have to calm down baby, your heart can't handle it." I whispered and he shook his head, "He-he-he killed all o-of you guys, Stella, Luna, C-Candy, an-and you." He sobbed and his breathing became unstable. I made him let go and look at me, "Michael, you need to breathe." I stated and started taking deep breaths, telling him to copy my breathing and he kinda did then sobbing more. I reached onto his nightstand and grabbed his inhaler, he gasped for breath and put the inhaler in between his lips, pressing down and the medecine going into his lungs, all his muscles relaxed and I put the inhaler down. Michael took a deep breath before getting up and leaving the room, I followed him into Candy's nursery, seeing him cradling a sleeping Candy in his arms and rubbing her small tummy. "You alright Mikey?" I asked and he nodded,  "Just worried my nightmares will become reality one day." He whispered and kissed Candy's forehead.

Say something

I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something

I'm giving up on you

And I

I'm feeling so small

It was over my head

And I

I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

Say something

I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something

I'm giving up on you

And I

Will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

Say something

I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry I couldn't get to you

And anywhere I would've followed

Oh-Ooh

Say something

I'm giving up on you

Say something

I'm giving up on you

Say something......

I rocked in the rocking chair with Candy in my arms, holding her against my bare chest as I sang her to sleep. I kissed her forehead and rubbed circles on her small tummy with my thumb, "Sweet dreams baby girl. I love you." I whispered with a wide smile on my face.
