I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 56.

The next few days were tough for me. Despite the fact that Michael and I were back to normal, I felt guilty and responsible for what happened to him. If I had a penny for the amount of time he’s told me it wasn’t my fault, I’d be a fricking billionaire.

I spent most of my time trying to amuse Levi, although my parents took him home with them some times. When I wasn’t doing that, I was either sat with Michael or on the phone to Cristiano about Jacey. I was really missing him and he’s not been gone long. It’s going to get worse when Jacey goes and stays there for a fixed amount of time. Right now, it’s only until Michael is more or less back to normal, which I hope is as soon as possible.

I was sat on the hospital steps on my mobile phone. I had just ended a call with Cristiano. He was just telling me about how Jacey’s fine and blah blah blah. I sat for a few minutes just thinking to myself. If this hadn’t of happened, where would I be now? Would I still be with Cristiano? At this point, I decided to refer my situation to an old quote,

‘If you’re ever in love, but you fall in love with another and the same time, chose the second guy. Because if you really loved the first, you wouldn’t have fallen for the second’. In my case, the first was Cristiano and the second was Michael, which made perfect sense.

I sighed and then my eyes averted up as a car door slamming drew to my attention. I looked up and saw Michael’s mother and father staring at me from across the car park. I weakly smiled at them but their expressions didn’t change. I awkwardly looked away and they walked straight past me inside. They didn’t even acknowledge me, it’s like I wasn’t even there.

I knew it was my fault. Everyone was saying it wasn’t but when it’s their son, they will point fingers. I threw my head into my hands and sobbed into them. Crying again, me. What a surprise hey? No.

Ryan’s P.O.V

‘’Alice?’’ I looked up and saw Ryan stood there looking down at me with his eyebrow raised

‘’It’s my fault. I know you’ve all told me it wasn’t. It’s because you don’t want to hurt my feelings, I get that. But just then, Michael’s parents walked straight past me. They didn’t acknowledge me in the slightest. They know what’s happened and they know it’s my fault! They hate me!’’

‘’Alice stop, ok? They don’t hate you! They might not have even seen you there! They might not have known it was you?’’

‘’They did! They were staring at me from across the car park!’’

He sighed and put his arm around me, pulling me into him

‘’Look, they don’t hate you. None of us did. You did nothing alright? Nothing. Michael knows the most and he’ll set his parents straight. He loves you more than anything you know? If it was a fight between you and his parents, he’d side with you. You and me, he’d choose you. You and the Queen, he’d choose you. You and Fergie, he’d choose you. He would do anything for you, Alice. If your upset, he’ll change it. He will tell his parents, he’ll tell them what happened and he’ll tell that that it wasn’t your fault and that you didn’t deserve the stick they gave you just then.’’

‘’Thanks, I know he loves me and I love him too’’ I sniffed and he hugged me tight

‘’Don’t be so sad about it. I know you’re going through a hard time but it will get better, I promise’’ he smiled at me

‘’Thanks, you’re the best’’ I kissed his cheek in a friendly manner and we both walked inside.

‘’I know’’.
