It Started With A Game -5 Seconds Of Summer- (DISCONTINUED. SORRY GUYS.)

Chapter 16

*Recap*

'Knock Knock'

I tensed slightly but got up and went to the door. Michael followed behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. I slowly opened the door gasping from who stood before me.

"Eva." His deep voice spoke up. It was the first time I've heard it for a while.

Michael's grip around me tightened. I wasn't scared anymore, I was worried. He came alone.

"Dad." I breathlessly spoke up, after finding my voice.

*End of recap*

"Eva." He spoke again, his voice breaking. Michael let go of me and I ran forward jumping into my dad's arms. He was crying. My dad never cries, unless something was terribly wrong.

"Dad." I whispered. By this time everyone was at the door watching everything. "What's wrong? Why did you come back after you left me?" I cried out holding him tighter.

"You have to come back with me." He desperately spoke. My breath hitched in my throat. I didn't want to go back.

"What why?" I pulled away walking back towards Michael wrapping my arms around him. I didn't want to leave my friends, they are like my family.

"Your mom." He croaked walking into the house sitting on the nearest chair. "She's sick Eva. She's." He stopped and stared at me. He was scared. I could read it in his eyes. "She's dying." He whispered.

I froze. I lost my brother, Danny, now I could loose my mom. She may not of been here for me half the time but she was still my mom. She did give birth to me.

"Please Eva. I understand you have a life now. I understand you might hate us. I understand everything it's just your mom, my wife. I can't just loose her. She wants to see you before she dies. I know it's a lot to ask for. To come back to Australia with us, but she's your mom. I'm your dad. It hurts our baby girl left us. She didn't want us anymore and she left us. And we lost Danny. It's to much." He cried out. His eyes were blood shot from crying. His voice was shaky. I didn't notice I was crying until Michael wiped my tears away. "You have friends here. I know that. But you can always come back Eva. She just wants to see you."

My throat was tightening. I felt weak. I was tired. I was shaking. "M-mom." Was all I managed to say before I broke out sobbing. Michael was rubbing my back whispering comforting words into my ear. Austin was holding a scared looking Ashley. Erin and Melanie were giving me worried glances. Leah looked shocked. Ashton, Calum, and Luke were trying to calm me down with Michael.

My dad looked like shit. It looked like he hadn't been sleeping well lately. He had bags under his blood shot eyes. His once naturally brownish blond hair was gray and white. He looked so much older, but yet he looked younger. His eyes gave away everything.

Worry.

Scared.

Helpless.

Sad.

Depressed.

Hurt.

He wanted me to come back. He needed me too. Mom needed me to.

Maybe if I show up mom will have more power to help herself become better. Maybe she will have more of a reason to fight.

I looked around the room to see everyone's expressions.

I looked back at my dad before speaking again. "I'm coming. When's our flight?"

Dad gave me a sympathetic smile before answering my question. "Tomorrow morning at 6. I'm staying at a hotel across the street we can meet at the airport." He stated before leaving.

I turned around to my friends. "I'm going back to Australia." I breathlessly said. I looked at Michael and he looked pained to know I was leaving. So I kissed him.

I know I know. We aren't even dating. Blah blah blah.

Michael quickly kissed me back and I pulled away staring into his eyes. "I don't know when I'm coming back. Just until my mom is better or gone. She needs to know I'm here for her. She could have a better reason to fight." I whispered caressing his cheek. He rested his forehead on mine closing his eyes.

"We never got to go on our date." He mumbled. I smiled kissing his nose.

"This isn't the last time you will see me. I mean you all are coming back to Australia in like 3 weeks anyways." I stated rubbing his neck gently. His eyes flickered open, sparkling.

"Your right. You need to pack. This isn't the end. We will see each other again. We will see you in Australia. We can get tickets to fly the girls out it can be amazing."

"Our jobs." I mumbled resting my head in the crook of his neck.

"You can open on tour with us. We can get a job for everyone. It will be fun trust me. We will be together. It will be like a big family. You'll get to travel around the world with us!" He chirped. I picked my head up staring at him.

"Really?" I asked shocked.

"Anything for you lovely people. I mean we can't just leave and forget you all. Your all amazing and we don't want to leave you guys so why not?" He whispered kissing my nose. I scrunched my face up making him chuckle.

I squealed hugging him as Roth as I could. I totally forgot about everyone else until I heard them making noises over our 'disgusting' moment. Obviously for them it was to romantic.

Well Michael is romantic whether he knows it or not.

And it's fucking hot.
