Blaze

I somehow had cried myself to sleep and when I woke up Michael was still there. I was surprised to see him still here, I honestly didn't expect him to stay I expected him to leave. My face was buried in his chest, his chest rising and falling with his breaths.

"Michael.." I mumbled.

"Blaze, you're awake. Do you feel any better?" I nodded my head telling the truth.

"Good, how about we go downstairs and watch movies with everyone else? Is that ok?" I nodded my head again, not really wanting to speak right now. I told Michael to go down because I was going to change in to something more comfortable. Once he closed the door behind him I was about to change my shirt when Ashton came in.

"Hey," he sounded like he was out of breath.

"Are you okay, you sound out of breath?" I giggled.

"Oh, right, I have no idea. Anyway I just came to see how you were. You were up here for like three hours." I didn't even realise how long I must've been sleeping for.

"Oh, I- well, I cried myself to sleep.." Ashton didn't say anything instead, he just wrapped his arms round shoulders pulling me in for a comforting hug.

"I'm sorry she died." He sounded concerned.

"Me too.. I didn't even realise she was unhappy. But then she took a stroke and it all happened too quickly. Too quickly for me to even realise what happened to her. I just miss her a lot Ashton. So much."

"I know you do, and if I can do anything at all to make you feel better about this, just tell me and I'll be there. I promise." He kissed my forehead before leaving me to get changed.

I put on my sleeveless Tonight Alive shirt on, with my leggings. Once I went downstairs I heard Paramore being played on the radio. I knew it within second that it was The Only Exception

I began humming along to the song, feeling the need to listen to the whole song before finally going to the basement.

"You are, the only exception. You are the only exception." I softly sung along quietly enough so nobody heard me. That was until I turned around to see Michael looking at me.

"How much of that did you hear.." I mumbled, embarrassed he heard me sing.

"Enough to know that your really good, are you coming down? Luke says he's gonna put on some movies."

"Wait!! I need chocolate milk!" I needed my ultimate favourite drink if movies were included.

"Why?" I looked behind me, looking at him like he just insulted Oprah.

"Why? Because chocolate milk is the best drink ever invented on this earth ever since humans have been alive! Chocolate milk is heaven," I smiled, pouring it into my cup with the lid and straw. It was the Minnie Mouse red cup my mum bought for me when I was fifteen. She bought it for me as I joke but I loved it.

"Cute cup," Michael commented smirking.

"My mu-..."
