Pink hair and broken hearts {under construction}

Chapter 14

Karen and Daryl were so sweet. They treated me like family and they seemed so happy I was dating him.

When Michael went to shower, Karen pulled me to the side.

"Listen Delilah, thank you," she pulls me into a tight hug.

"Um sure.. for what?"

"For fixing Michael. We moved here to America because in Australia, he was so sad and didn't even smile. Then that one day a few weeks ago when he came home with a huge smile on his face I knew I made the right desicion," she looks so grateful and I don't even know what to say.

"Oh my word, you're joking? From the day I met him, he's been a cheeky, cheerful person. Why was he sad in Australia?"

"Well a few months ago.. his little brother Matthew died in a car crash," she has tears in her eyes and i pull her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know,"

"It's okay. Matthew and Michael were really close and when he died it broke Michael. He never left his room, was failing school and he seemed so sad. Paul was offered a job here and so we moved. And now he's the same old cheeky, happy Michael from before. So thank you," she says it and I know she means it.

"Well I'm glad that he's happy again,"

Just then Michael walks in and wraps his arms around my waist.

"Hey want to go to the park?" He asks me. I see Michael differently now.

"Yeah I've just got to get changed,"

In half an hour we've said goodbye to his parents and are on the way to the park.

As we get there and find a nice spot under a tree I ask him about Matthew.

"Hey your mom told me about Matthew," he suddenly looks sad.

"I was going to tell you, I just didn't find the right time,"

"Oh Michael. I'm so sorry. Your mom said that I made you happy again?" He smiles even though he's hurt.

"You did. Delilah, from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one for me. You make me happy seeing you happy. You're so beautiful and I.. I love you," he looks down and my heart explodes.

"I love you too Michael. I've been waiting so long to say that. You're so amazing and I've never felt this way about anyone,"

"Delilah you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. You made me happy again. I can't thank you enough for that,"

"No thank you. I thought my whole life I would be alone and depressed and you are the rainbow in the thunderstorm that's my life,"

He kisses me then. Not hard but full of meaning and I know he truly loves me and I feel like I'm on cloud 9.

If I ever lost him I really don't know what I would do.

"I love you kitten,"

"I love you idiot,"

I think I need a tissue. This though *·*
Riva I'm trying my hardest to find you a Michael Clifford for your birthday, I swear!
