My mind was a whirl of emotions. Confusion, anger, sadness, hurt, pain and even emotions I've never felt before.

I never thought for one second I'd raise my hands to somebody. Especially Luke. My best friend. The one I could... Can trust.

This was all a big mess and it was all my fault because I just couldn't control myself.

If somebody asked me a few months ago that I'd find a amazing, funny best friend and a gorgeous unbelievable boy who I wasn't supposed to start falling in love with. I would have laughed in their faces because I never thought for one second a job could make new relationships for me.

But look, I've basically destroyed everything. Just when things were looking up for me. 'Fuck sake Lila.' I mentally scowled myself.

I parked up the side of Michael's house and barged in.
"Michael? MICHAEL?" I called.
"Woah Lila? What? What happened?" He said confused, running in from the kitchen.
The fury and pain on my face told him something bad went down.
"I went to talk to him, a-and he looked really sad and I felt bad and I kissed his cheek and I think he got the wrong impression and-" I was interrupted.
"Slow down baby girl, tell me slowly."
Michael calmed.
When he called me 'baby girl' it made me melt.
"-He kissed me.. Luke kissed me Michael. And I slapped him and then ran off..." I sighed, rubbing my hands over my face, exhausted by the whole situation.
"What? He kissed you?-" Michael hissed.
"-Wait till I get my hands on the fucker I swear-"
"No Michael.. You'll just make it worse. This is all my fault. Just let me handle it, it's my mess." I squeaked. The lump in my throat was restricting my words.
"Hey! We're taking on the world.. It's not that easy princess." Michael smiled, looking into my wide hazel eyes.

I kissed his soft lips.

Kissing Michael always seemed to calm me.
His tattooed arms wrapped me in a tight embrace and it made me feel safe. All my problems faded away and I felt peaceful.

"Come on. Let's go watch Netflix and chill." Michael smirked.
I laughed at his sarcasm as he waltz me upstairs.

He handed me a ATL band tee, which smelt like the one I wore lastnight. A scent of cologne and peppermint gum.
The smell made my insides ooze.

As I was undressing, Michael walked out of the en-suite and I tried my hardest to cover up my bare skin.
"MICHAEL!" I squealed, running to get the band t-shirt off the bed.

Michael was stood at the door, "I-I'm sorry I.." He laughed.
"Come here!" He laughed, running and dragging us both down onto the bed. We landed in a large heap on the covers, laughing hysterically.
I still hadn't managed to put the t-shirt on.
"Michael.. I errrr.. I'm half naked." I said, my face burning up a dark shade of red.
"What's wrong with that baby? Your beautiful." He smiled kissing my stomach.
"You look better without this." He said, taking the t-shirt from my hands and throwing it across the room.
"No I'm ugly." I said with disgust, looking down at my boobs and stomach.
"WHAT! Your fucking perfect Lila! Your mine." Michael growled.
He found his way to my lips and kissed me softly, bringing back the butterflies I always felt.
"Whatever Clifford." I said, throwing a pillow at him.
"Hey!" He shouted playfully. I giggled.
"Let's watch Cool Runnings! I love that film." I beamed.
"Cool Runnings it is!"

Halfway through the movie Michael turned to me and said... "Hey L, you ever think about running away? You know.. Just to get out of here?"
"Yeah all the time." I said, thinking it was just a question.
"So let me take you away." He said looking at me.
"When now? I don't have much money, I was saving up for Sydney but I'm-"
"We don't need a plan, So let's just go, till we've lost control and we'll stumble through it all. Lila, let's do something new and unpredictable." He beamed enthusiastically.
"Okay." I smiled.
"Okay?"
"Yeah! Why the hell not!"
"Really? It will be the best thing ever! Me and you... Finding our new place to start again." He hugged me tight.
"I can't wait Mikey!" I laughed, kissing his lips.
He looked at me for a few moments before saying "I think... I think I love you Lila Jacobs." He softly smiled, his face inches from mine.
I looked at him, he had pure love In his eyes, and a massive smile on that goofy face of his that I'd began to fall in love with.
"I love you MGC." I said, snuggling into his chest.
