emily // 5sos

chapter 4 // us: you and me

Emily's POV //
Suddenly I hear "Ah my arm!" and it startles me, making me open my eyes.
"Whaaaaat?!" I say.

Michael looks at me "I'm sorry for waking you up but you slept on my arm the entire night and now it hurts like hell."

I jump up "WOW WAIT WHAT TIME IS IT?"

Suddenly I hear Luke's voice "Why are you all screaming? I'm trying to sleep."

I look at my phone, it's 9 in the morning, 10 missed calls from my mom and 8 from my dad and a lot of texts, fûck!

Michael looks over my shoulder "Oh oh, think someone is getting house arrest."

I laugh "I'll blame it on you."

He laughs "Yeah right, just say that you met the Michael Clifford and that you watched a movie with 5sos and that you fell asleep. Yup."

"They are not gonna believe me."

"Nope"

I push him away "I hate you."
He pouts at me and I laugh "I'll be right back I'm going to call them in the hallway."

I walk out of the room and I call my mom.
"EMILY THANK GOD, why didn't you pick up yesterday and where the hell are you?"

"Sorrrrry mom, I slept at someone else's place but I'll explain it all later. I'll be home soon."

"You may be an adult now, but that doesn't mean you can't stay away for so long without letting us know!"

"I know mom... I'm sorry.."

"Tell me next time ok? We were so worried!"

"Yeah yeah bye."

I walk towards the kitchen to grab a drink. I'm thinking about the dream I had last night. I feel so weird whenever I think about it, because I have these kind of dreams all the time. It feels like something is missing.

"Ehm, goodmorning."

I look behind me and see Calum, "Hi, did you sleep well?"

"Yes, thanks." he answers.

He scratches his head "Well, I just wanted to apologize about my behavior. But can you sit down, I want to talk to you."

I'm a bit confused but I grab a chair and sit down. "Ehm yeah? About what?"

He looks me into the eyes and I feel my heart beating faster. He is so beautiful. "Why are you pretending like you don't know me? I know we went through a shït time but still.. it has been years."

I frown "Are you mad because I am not a fan of your band? What do you mean?"

"No.." He sighs "Are you serious? I mean about the time we met each other like 4 years ago, in the Netherlands."

I laugh "I think you have the wrong person."

"No. Please Emily, don't be like this."

He grabs his phone and scrolls through his pictures, he shows me a picture. My eyes widen. It's a picture of him, well a very young him and of someone who looks remarkably a lot like me. "What is this..?"

"Us. You and me."

I look at the picture again and my head starts to hurt a lot. It feels like my body isn't functioning properly. I walk away without saying anything. "Where are you going?" I hear Calum behind me. I ignore him and walk away quickly, I feel like I'm going to pass out. aI bump into Michael.

"Hey, what's the rush?" He looks at me and sees that I have tears in my eyes. "Wow hey Emily, what's going on?"

I cry "I don't know! My head hurts."

He hugs me and pats my back "Come to my bunk, maybe if you lay down you will feel better."

He holds me closely and takes me to his bunk. He takes his clothes from his bunk to make space "Here, lay down." I lay down and Michael tries to talk to me but after a few seconds I just fell asleep.
