1.9 "Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater"

Saturday, November 8, 2014 

There was a slow song playing in the back with lights flashing all around me. I'm looking down at my shoes and see another pair of shoes come into view. He places his hands on my waist. I look off to the side trying to hide my tears from the man in front of me. He tilts my head up to face him but I couldn't get a clear image of his face. He wipes the tears from my cheeks and hugs me tight as if I was a delicate piece of glass.

"Luke?" I whisper

I open my eyes and I was back in my bed. It was just a dream but who was that guy. Probably just Luke but why was I crying. It was 9:30 when I wake up and I remember that I need to buy the after tickets from Michael today. So I grab my phone and text him.

Haileycopter: Mikeyyy

Mikey Cliffoconda: what's up?

Haileycopter: can u hook me up with 4 tickets to after?

Mikey Cliffoconda: sure its $30 each

Mikey Cliffoconda: alright cya soon

Michael's house

"Hey" Michael greets me a few seconds after I ring the doorbell at his house. "Do you want to come in?"

"Uh..sure why not" I take off my shoes as soon as I enter the house and take in the familiar house I haven't been in for a while.

"Let's go up to my room"

"You better not be planning to like kill me or something" I joke. He and I both laugh and walk up to his room. It looked the same as it was two years ago, except messier. "Wow this room looks exactly how it did two years ago".

"I'm pretty sure it got messier" he says. Ha, I was right. "Here are the four tickets" he hands me the four tickets while I hand him $100. 

"Thanks again for the discount, you won't get in trouble right?"

"Nah I'll think of an excuse, I'm Michael Clifford remember" 

"Right Michael Clifford with the weird hair" I joke and put the tickets into my wallet.

"Hey, you can insult me but not my hair" He points his finger at me and I raise my hands in the act of surrendering. "so how are you and Luke?"

"Good, never better" I smile. 

"I noticed that you and Calum got pretty close" He adds. "What's up with that?"

"Uh, we're really good friends" 

"Huh, 'friends'" Michael repeated

"Yep" I nod my head. My phone beeps showing that I got a text from Calum.
