Drunken DMs

Chapter 14

Leah

I couldn't have asked for a better week, having Michael stay over. The days were spent the same, watching Pokemon, or whatever we felt like on Netflix or from my DVD collection. And yes all days were spent on the couch cuddling. Most of the time we ended up falling asleep where we were, wrapped up in each other's arms. It was perfect. And to think that Michael had decided to stay the whole three weeks I had off of work. I was beyond happy. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the boy in the band that gave me a reason to live, had very quickly become my best friend. Or one of them at least. It was definitely safe to say I had feelings for this boy; there was no doubt about it. But I also knew there was no way he could feel the same about me.

I'd decided to have a shower around two that Saturday afternoon, after only waking up about an hour before hand. As I washed my hair, I thought about how much my life has changed in the short span of a month. I finally beginning to feel like the girl I was, before Brandon; and it was all thanks to the boy sitting in my living room.

I exited the shower, changing into black shorts and an oversized Metallica singlet.
"Leah," I heard Michael say, as I walked back in to the living room, "your phones been ringing non stop,"
"Oh," I said, it was unusual for my phone to ring, "whose been calling?"
"Georgia," he said
"Just fucking great," I sighed. I took a seat next to him, and he passed me my phone, and noticed I had five missed calls from her
"You gonna call back?" He asked
"Nah, I'll answer if she calls though," I told him, leaning back into the couch
"I'd ignore her if I was you," he said
"Yeah normally I would, but five missed calls? Even for Georgia that's weird,"
"You have a point," he said, pulling me closer to him

We sat on the couch watching this Australian show I'd heard about called Upper Middle Bogan, it was hilarious, we were about five minutes in to the second episode when my phone started ringing again. Sure enough it was Georgia, "hey," I answered
"Leah," she sounded like she was crying
"What's up? Everything okay?" I asked, honestly not really caring
"Jake and I had this huge fight," she said, "can I come over? I need to talk to someone,"
"I'm not home," I lied
"Where are you then? I'm just outside your building and your cars in the carpark," fuck
Everything okay? Michael mouthed to me and I just shrugged
"Well I am home, I'm just about to head out," another lie
"Leah, I thought I could take you to stalk Michael today," she said, "I'm in need of  some serious Georgia and Leah time,"
"You guys would actually stalk me?" Michael laughed
"How do you know he's even still in Melbourne?" I asked
"He hasn't been seen back in Sydney, or anywhere else in the world,"
"Has he even been seen here apart from the airport?" I asked
"Jade said she saw photos of him at a supermarket the other day," she explained, "but they weren't confirmed to be him or not,"
"Oh right, well if he hasn't been sighted here, he probably doesn't wanna be seen," I told her, "look I really gotta go!"
"What kind of best friend are you?" She scoffed, "I need you today, and you're ditching me,"
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm not ditching you, you called me up out of the blue demanding to hand out," I said, "why don't you call up Jade or Sarah?" I asked, knowing she'd been hanging out with them a lot
"Because they're both working today," she said, "we haven't hung out in forever, it's almost like you are avoiding me,"
"Did you ever think that maybe I am?" I asked, "you only ever want to see or talk to me, when you need something. Why the fuck would I want to hang out with you?"
"Why are you being so cruel Leah? I've done nothing but be a great friend to you,"
"That's bullshit! You ditched our traditional coffee thing because the day before was your and Jakes anniversary, and don't forget it was on my birthday!"
"Get over it Leah, it's just your birthday," she said, "you only turned twenty three,"
"You're such a fucking bitch Georgia!" I began to feel my eyes leak
"Get over yourself," she said, "do you even know why no one wants to fucking talk to you?" I was speechless, "because you live in this fucking fantasy where you're gonna meet Michael Clifford and he'll fall head over heals for you! Well I hate to break it to you babes, but if you ever do meet him or any of them, they're gonna fuck you and leave you! And you'll be just another name on their list,"
"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" Michael yelled, "DONT YOU FUCKING DARE SPEAK FOR ME! ID NEVER DO THAT!"
"Oh nice one Leah, getting Dan to pretend to be Michael," she laughed
"Well I guess you've just shown your true colours Georgia," I told her, "never fucking call me again," and with that I hung up the phone. Leaning in to Michael, who wasted no time in wrapping his arms around me, in an attempt to comfort me
"You okay?" He asked, I just nodded, "she's a bitch," he said, "you don't need her,"
"I know," I said, trying to smile through my tears, "thank you for being here,"
"There's no where else I'd rather be babe," he said, placing a kiss on my cheek, "I have an idea," he spoke after about five minutes
"What?"
"I'm assuming you have snapchat?"
"Yeah?"
"Does Georgia?" He asked
"She does,"
"Well then, get on my lap, and hand me your phone,"
"Okay?" I handed him my phone and did what he said
"Smile for the camera babe," he said and I laughed. I looked at the selfie he took of us, and it was really cute. Actually it was fucking adorable really, he had leaned forward and pressed our cheeks together
"This is cute, save it before you send it," I told him
"Okay," he saved the photo and typed something on the photo. I laughed when I read the caption

Oh hey Mikey, He's kinda hot tho right? 😂😂

"You're such a fucking dork," I laughed
"You love me," he said, kissing my cheek
"You wish, Clifford," but that was the thing, I felt like I actually did love him.
