Chapter 10

I quickly let go of Paul’s hand, hoping Michael didn’t notice. But that was no good. He had already seen. He looked hurt, but I don’t know if it was from what he saw or the fact that I was in hospital bruised and swollen.

He walked over to my side and looked at me with those beautiful hazel eyes. I could tell he was upset that I was holding Pauls hand but he didn’t want to say anything just yet. He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

“What happened Pip?” he asked concerned.

I grabbed his hand and told him what happened. How Paul found me and brought me here, and how the police are involved. And also about who did it. Michael extended his hand out to Paul. They shook hands and Michael smiled at him. “Thank you. I don’t know how I could ever repay you.” He said genuinely smiling.

“Don’t worry about it. I'm just glad that she is fine now. I'm just going to grab a coffee. Would you like one?” he asked Michael smiling. Paul seemed to be genuinely liking Michael from the two seconds they’ve known each other. I hope they will get along.

“No thanks mate, I’ll just stay here and keep Pip Company. Thank you again.” Michael said smiling, then turning back to me.

As soon as Paul left the room, Michael leaned in for another kiss. This one was a soft sweet one. I could tell he was being gentle in case I was in any pain. I grabbed his hair and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. He seemed to hesitate a bit, but kissed me back.

When we broke the kiss he sat in the chair next to the bed. “Are you sure you are okay? If you need anything...” he said before I cut him off.

“.. Yes I'm fine Michael. Please don’t worry about me.”

“Ok. And who was the guy that just left?” he asked hesitantly, looking me in the eyes.

“Oh, that’s Paul. He's a friend from school.” I told him cautiously, I don’t know what Michael would think. Sure we shared a couple of kisses, but I didn’t know where we stood.

“He seems nice. But I thought you didn’t have friends in your school.” He said mater-of-factly.

“No I don’t, but remember Saturday night at our gig? Well he recognized me and confronted me on Monday. So I told him about it, but I made sure he didn’t say anything to anyone.” I said hoping he would understand. If I didn’t tell Paul, I feared that he would tell people, and that would ruin what I have worked on for the past 5 years.

Michael nodded in understanding, which made me smile.

“So about this Shauna, why did she do it, you never said.” He asked hesitantly looking at me with sadness in his eyes. Could he be any more amazing? I sighed a little before continuing.

“She has anger issues, all I did was accidentally bump into her when I was running to school, because I was late, I have never done anything to her but she’s always bullied me, and...” I was saying a little nervously before he cut me off.

“... Wait, she has been bullying you? How long has this gone on for?” he asked shocked.

I nodded, “for a while now I think, it started when she failed her first attempt at year 12, now she is in her 3rd year.” It was weird telling Michael this stuff, I never mentioned anything that happened in school to him, or the band. School and the band were to be kept separate with me. I didn’t want them involved with my school, and I didn’t want my school involved with the band.
