Mistakes / Michael Clifford

Chapter one

It all started in that halloween party, i think it was in October 13th, placed at the house of a senior. Oh, no, who am i kidding? It started a long time before it.

My mom were friends with Karen Clifford since her childhood years, way before she decided to move to London, she thought she would live her British dream and be a successful writer of some soap opera, a sitcom, or even a blockbuster. It didn't happened that way. Everything seemed perfect when, after one and a half year, a studio liked her script for a fantasy tv series, and they hired a handsome producer to help her with it, after all the pilot was rejected by the studio and she ended up pregnant, the father, my father, was the producer, but he didn't liked the idea, so he said that they couldn't be together, and gave her a enormous check every month, for her and her little baby, Rosie(me).

During my first six years, we lived in London, in a apartment that were too big for just us two, so, sick and tired of being all alone and living in a cold country, my mom packed our things and got back to Sydney, to live in the suburb. I didn't liked the idea, of course, being in a new country, hot as hell, and not knowing anyone, i just wanted to go back to England.

One day, she returned contact with her friend, Karen, and discovered that she had a son, the same age as me, so, they had the great idea: make us best friends like they were. Not so good. As they tried to make us friends, we hated each other for long six years. They organized millions of play dates and put us on various activities: Child art, Kung Fu, Swimming... But it was the music that made us inseparable.

The hate that we feed for years, simply disappeared when they made us help each other learn guitar chords, still, after half a year, i quit guitar to learn piano, and like this, we started our friendship, a strong one, we were glued to each other, did everything together, i couldn't even think about a life without, my best friend, Michael Clifford by my side.

We were there for each other when we had our first crushs, he was there for me when broke my hand, i was there when he met his bandmates, and i made him accept Luke, a boy he used to hate, to be the lead singer, he was there when i was fifteen my boyfriend broke up with me, and i was there too when he decided he wanted to dye his blond hair green. We were always there for each other, and maybe that was the biggest mistake.

- Have you guys heard it? - Was the first thing that Michael said when he sat with us on lunchtime, on the very same table we sat everyday, with Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Luke's girlfriend, Summer.

- Heard what? - I asked, as i took a fry from his plate.

- Kelsey Blake will throw a halloween party this Friday. - He smiled as he said it.

- This Friday? Friday 13th? - Ashton asked.

- Yeah. - Michael took a sip from his grape juice. - How cool is that?

- Awesome! - Calum said.

- So we are going? - Summer asked, her arm on Luke's shoulder.

- Of course we are! - I almost shouted, i wouldn't miss a halloween party on a Friday 13th.

- Great. - Michael smile got bigger. - We have to go with costumes.

- Really? I didn't even thought of it! - Luke said, ironically.

- Shut up. - Michael rolled his eyes as he laughed.

- We should go as superheroes. - Ashton said.

- Typical... - Summer rolled her eyes as well and i laughed.

- Well. - I said, while i got up. - I'm going to wear something sexy. - I made a sexy pose, as i started walking while laughing, looking back, seeing Michael stare at me, so i blinked to him, and he shook his head.
