Drunken DMs

Chapter 6

Leah

"Exactly what it says, I prefer older women," he says

"What was that?" I asked, knowing exactly what he said. What is he implying here?
"You heard me Leah," he laughed
"I did, but not sure how to take it, so I'll just ignore it for now," I laughed as well, it was all I could do to eliminate the awkwardness, "so what're you up to?" I asked him, changing the subject
"Not much really, just chilling,"
"Oh fun!" I said, "we both have very exciting lives," I said sarcastically, my life was far from exciting or even interesting; his on the other hand, was very exciting. I just wanted to know why I was so special, and why me? He could have chosen one of many millions of girls who would have better lives than me to talk to.

We continued talking for another hour or so, until I had to go. I was going to my parents for dinner. I hung up the phone and immediately my phone vibrated again, this time, messages from Ambur.

Ambur: omg where have you been girly! We haven't spoken in nearly hours!

Me: I've been on the phone! Sorry love

Ambur: did the bitch call and apologise? She owes you a fucking apology

Me: nope, haven't heard from her. Thank god! I'd ignore her anyways! I'm so fucking done with her shit! Like you have no idea

Ambur: then who were you talking to? You know you can't hide anything from me, besides no one apart from her or your parents call you and I doubt you'd have an hour long call with your dad! 😂😂

Me: take a guess! And no it wasn't dad, I'm seeing them in like 20 mins. Fucking family dinners. All they're gonna ask is when I'm getting a bf and when I'll get over the band. To piss them off I'll purposely wear my Clifford 95 top 😂😂

Ambur: omg he didn't? HE FUCKING CALLED YOU? HOW ARE YOU ALIVE???? I DONT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT MY BEST FRIEND ACTUALLY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL FUCKING CLIFFORD OVER THE FUCKING PHONE! THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE GIRL

Me: dude I didn't even answer at first! Like I was too scared. And when I did answer my voice was shaky AF. Like I couldn't believe I was being so fucking calm about this! It's Michael Clifford for fucks sakes! And OMFG AMBUR YOURE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID TO ME

Ambur: WHAT DID HE SAY?????? I NEED DETAILS LIKE LAST WEEK

Me: HE SAID HE LIKES OLDER WOMEN WTF I CANT FUCKING HANDLE THIS! IT GOT SO FUCKING AWKWARD I HAD TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT

Ambur: YOURE SO FUCKING IN GIRL LIKE FUCK. I SHIP IT

Me: AHHHHH I CANT HANDLE THIS!! Anyways I have to go! But I'll message ya later if you're awake when I get home!

Ambur: im gonna want details if mr Clifford messages you again!

I put my phone on charge and walked got changed in to my Clifford 95 top as I mentioned to Ambur. My parents were constantly on my case about my love for this band and constantly told me to stop living in a fantasy land, because I had no chance with Michael. What they didn't realise was that him and I were friends, well I guess you could call us that.

Ten minutes later I arrived at my parents, "really Leah?" Was the first thin my step mum said when she saw that I was wearing this top
"Yep," I shrugged
"You'll never get a boyfriend if you don't stop fangirling over this band, wearing so much eyeliner and killing your hair with bleach!"
"Heard it all from Georgia today," I told her
"Now that's a girl with her head screwed on," she said
"Really?" I asked in disbelief, "she was half an hour late for coffee wit me today because she was at Jake's and he lives closer to me than she does,"
"She's got a boyfriend Leah, you don't,"
"Can you not see that I don't want a boyfriend?" I defended my self, I was still getting over the fact that my ex Brandon had cheated on me with his current girlfriend, even though that relationship ended in December. But that's not what I wasn't over. He'd gotten her pregnant and they'd only been together for eight months at the time I found out about the kid
"You need a boyfriend to get over your little fantasy of dating that boy in a band!" She said, "it's not like he'll ever notice you,"
"Whatever, I'm out!" I turned to leave the room, "have a nice dinner,"
"Leah!" I heard her yell, "grow up and start acting like a twenty three year old," I didn't bother replying I just left the house.

I pulled into the underground parking at my apartment, got out of the car and walked up the stairs. I collapsed on the couch as soon as I got in, and composed another tweet

@mikeysgalaxy: when your stepmum says you'll never get a bf if I keep living in a fantasy land where I think I have a chance with Mikey 😂😂 like fuck off bitch!

I put my phone down and ten seconds later, it vibrated. I picked it up and noticed I had three new Twitter notifications.

@Michael5SOS  favourited your tweet

@Michael5SOS retweeted your tweet

@Michael5SOS replied to your tweet

I opened it and read his reply

@Michael5SOS: your stepmum doesn't sound like a nice person 😂

I retweeted and replied to him

@mikeysgalaxy:  @Michael5SOS she's not but she's probably right. :/

I closed my phone, knowing that he wouldn't reply again. He never replied twice to fans, I didn't mind though. If he wanted to reply it was up to him. My phone vibrated again in my hands. This time a text from Michael

From Michael: lol at your step mum😂😂 she sounds like a bitch tbh. And in reply to your last statement, how do you know she's right? Haha. I'm off to bed, I'll text ya tomorrow or some shit night xxx

To Michael: what the fuck is that supposed to mean Clifford? Don't leave me hanging!

I waited twenty minutes for his reply. He must've fallen asleep already, but nothing came. So I sent another text

To Michael: of course you leave me hanging like that you little shit! Fuck you! Stop playing with my feels, I am a fan you know! Ugh, anyways you're probably asleep. Night dick head xxx

I got up off my bed, and walked into the lounge room, turning on Gossip Girl.
