Falling Down // M.C.

Secret Love Song

"Every piece of you; it just fits perfectly. Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep."

I was woken up by my phone going off, making me groan and pull the blanket over my head like it would make the noise stop. It didn't work. I flung the blanket off my face and grabbed my phone, pulling down the notification bar so it would shut up and let me sleep. I was about to throw my phone down on the bed when I saw I had a text from Mason so I answered it and almost dropped my phone when I saw the attachment.

"Michael Clifford's new girlfriend is . . . sick? That's right, according to our sources the pop star was seen hanging out with a blonde and her friend with his bandmates at Disney World a week ago; snuggling up to her while they walked around the park. Fans said that the boys from 5 Seconds of Summer weren't rude about it, but chose to spend time with the girls instead of stopping and interacting with them. The pictures that the fans snagged of the couple sure are cute, you should see the smiles they give each other! Now, fans of the boys took it upon themselves to find out who this mysterious blonde and her friend were and this is what we know so far. The blonde's name is Lilly Ann Suggs and her friend is Mason Lee Cody, best friends and always together. Lilly was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and is currently living at the local hospital to get care 24/7. They even dug up their Snapchats, lilann16 & massonleee, Instagrams, lillyyannn & massonleeh, and Twitters, lillysuggs & masonlcody. We trust the fans, seeing that they've already reached out to both girls and left messages of support and love while other's have left some rude messages. We hope these girls have thick skin and our thoughts and prays are with Lilly and Michael! We're having a contest in the comments below to see who can come up with the best ship name for them, so be sure to leave a suggestion!"

Mason answered her phone the first ring. "What the actual hell is going on!?!" I yelled and I could practically see her flinching based off the rustling I heard coming from her end of the call.
"I know, my social media's never been this active before! Luke texted me and said they'd take care of it and that Michael wanted your number. I gave it to him, so expect some apologizing. Also, I would log on if I were you. Most of it's pretty nice. I'll be there in a few hours, I have to deal with the momster and then I'm all your. I love you!" I groaned and flopped back onto my pillows. "I love you too." I muttered and hung up, clicking my Twitter icon and logging in. I was overwhelmed by the amount of notifications I had and decided to shower before I looked at any of them. I needed to gather my courage. I grabbed some shorts and a shirt out of my dresser and went to the bathroom, turning the water on so it would get hot and putting my music on shuffle. I stripped out my clothes and got in the shower, doing my usual and crooning when my favorite song came on. "Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty; but I'm smiling at everything!" I rinsed off my body and stepped out, drying off and putting on my clothes before giving myself a little pep talk. "You got this. It's random people, they don't even know you so it doesn't even matter. Let's do this." I padded out of the bathroom and grabbed my Toothless off my dresser before getting on my bed. I was gonna need all the comfort I could get. I clicked the notification button and braced myself for the worst.

Attention whore ass bitch @lillysuggs

The last one hurt a bit. I wasn't doing this for attention, I had fucking cancer; not a cold. And it wasn't my fault that Michael had put his arm around me, he just did. Not that I was complaining, it made me feel special. My phone dinged and I saw it was a text from an unknown number so I clicked it. It was Michael, saying he was sorry about everything. I was in the middle of writing a reply when he called, so I answered and put it on speakerphone. "I'm so, so sorry Lilly. I don't know how they even figured out your stuff, it's crazy. We're gonna take care of it and tell them to leave you and Mason alone." he rambles and I cuddle my Toothless to my chest. "It's fine." I whispered. "You don't have to tell them to leave us alone, just maybe say not to leave hateful things. We've dealt with worse." I heard rustling from his side of the call and climbed back under my blanket. "Where are you even at?" I asked and he sighed, sounding tired. "We just got done with a show. A fan asked me if I knew about what was happening with my girlfriend and I was confused so I checked it out. I really am sorry, Lilly Ann." I smiled to myself and shoved my face into my Toothless. He cared enough to take time out of resting after doing a show to see how I was. Awwh. "I'm more worried about them thinking we're dating than anything else. I don't want to ruin any chances that you have with any of the girls that are interested in you." I muttered and I heard him laugh a bit. "No girls, I promise. I say we just let them think what they wanna think, they won't believe it if we say we aren't dating anyway." Right. So not being in a relationship with my celebrity crush since I was 15 but having people think we were. I could do that. Not. But I was gonna do it anyway. "You know them better than me, I guess. But all bets are off if Harry Styles turns out to actually be straight and somehow magically wants to date me." He laughed at me and I heard someone yell in the background. "The boys say hi, by the way. Actually straight? What's that supposed to mean?" I snuggled further under my blanket and moved the phone closer to my face. "Hi boys! Larry Stylinson. Louis Tomlinson is totally his husband. I ship it." I explained and I heard someone coming down the hallway. "If you say so, sweetheart. Listen, I have to go. We're headed to the hotel and I'm about to passout on Calum. I'll talk to you later." I said bye and then we hung up, leaving me to smile at myself like an idiot.

He called me sweetheart. Admittedly, so did Melody so it probably didn't mean anything but a girl could dream. I was still fangirling over it when Mason showed up with Taco Bell and slushies. "You have a frog smile. Spill." Mason demanded after she handed me a taco and I had taken a huge bite out of it. I swallowed quickly and sighed dramatically at her. "Well if you must know." Mason rolled her eyes at me and threw hot sauce packets at my face. "Michael called. He called me sweetheart. And said that we should just let the fans think we're dating because they won't believe we aren't even if we say as much." Mason stared at me like I grew seven heads and one of them was a unicorn. "Let me see your phone!" I clutched my phone to my chest and shook my head at her. "Not until you tell me what's going on between you and Luke! You have his number, you never do that." Mason sighed but accepted the compromise. "He's. . . cute. I mean, obviously. You creep on them all the time. But he made me laugh a lot at Disney and it was nice so when he asked for my number I gave it to him. We're supposed to go out for coffee next Monday." Mason rushed out, blushing bright red and making me coo at her. "Oh my God, my little baby has a crush! Give me your phone!"

We traded phones, clicking on our messaging apps and sending Luke and Michael a text. "What'd you tell him?" Mason asked, still typing on my phone. "Just that you liked tea more than coffee and you really liked him and that if he broke your heart that I'd hunt him down and cut his nuts off." Mason groaned and covered her eyes with her hands. "I hate you." she muttered and I just grinned at her. "I told Michael that he better man up and ask you out for real and I'd kill him if he broke your heart, and that I might be tiny but I'm scary as hell and would hunt him down." Nice to know we're both overprotective of each other. We ate in silence until Mason's phone dinged, making both of us dive for it. I waved her phone overy head and waved it around in triumph when I yanked it out of her hands. "He said that he would remember about the tea and that he'd make it easy for me to find him if he hurt you. Awwh. And wants to go on a 'double date' with me and Michael on Tuesday." Mason took her phone back and read it to make sure I wasn't lying, squealing when she realized what that meant. I smirked at her and she cleared her throat. "That never happened." I was about to reply when my phone went off, signalling I had a text message. Mason opened it before I could even move. "He said that he's just gonna let the 'relationship' flow from here and to not worry about it. What the frick is that supposed to mean?" Mason glared at my phone before continuing. "He said to tell you that we're going out on Tuesday and to wear something comfy." Mason gave me my phone back and took hers, grumbling to herself about stupid boys. "Wanna get on Instagram and read everything?" I asked and she nodded, scooting up to where she could see my phone too. We spent the rest of the day like that, saying thank you to the nice ones and ignoring the rude ones until Mason started talking about the date. "Maybe we should just wear something cute and comfy so if someone takes our picture we won't look like we're homeless and in sweatpants. Like a dress or something. God, what if this goes all wrong and they never want to talk to us ever again? Lil, what if we ruin our only chances at love?" Mason was being dramatic and I told her as much. "Calm down, drama queen! It's a fakeish date and they already know how we became friends, if they wanted to leave then they would have by now. Just wear your romper and comfy shoes and don't over think this. It'll be fine."

A/N: picture is the tweets the boys sent out about the girls. Comment and vote, it would mean a lot to me Also, help with the ship names for Lilly+Michael & Mason+Luke! It's hella difficult.
