Temporary Bliss

Michael stumbled through the city finding it hard to breathe. He needed to calm down but his mind kept telling him to go go go and to keep running.

But..what was he running from? Luke wasn't going to go away and neither was she. Michael sat on a sidewalk. He had no clue where he was. He heard music coming from a pug.

Quite usual for a Brooklyn to have a pug where artists haven't been discovered yet. He went in and was surprised when no one jammed him to the door.

He sat down at the bar and ordered a glass of wine. The bar tender looked at him weird but hey its Brooklyn! He gave Michael the drink and as Michael took a sip and turned around a blue hair girl got on stage.

She started singing a song he had never heard of. She was so mesmerizing.. He suddenly forgot about luke and the hurt in his chest. He was just so captivated by this girl to even notice.

She went through the entire song captivating the crowd with her words and her voice. When the song ended he turned around and ordered another glass.

"Hey you red head, Might as well treat me to a drink" Michael heard someone say behind him.

He turned around and found the girl standing in front of him. Her eyes so pretty..but not as pretty as lukes...
Fuck he needs to stop thinking of luke now.

"I'm a more classy guy..." Michael said as he got an idea "How about dinner tomorrow? Yeah?"

"Sure I'm not busy tomorrow night. But I don't go on dates with strangers from a bar in Brooklyn" she rolled her eyes playfully.

He chuckled as she sat down beside him. She ordered water and the waiter sighed and gave it to her. I guess this was the time to tell her about me Michael thought.

"My names Michael Clifford" he said and he braced himself mentally for the fangirl to show but that never happened...

"Names Halsey, Nice name Cliffo" she laughed and scrunched up her nose as she did so. He found that adorable.. but..luke does it better his mind said to him.

Michael mentally cursed himself for thinking of luke again. What's so good about luke? He just hurt the band..and well..he hurt Michael worse. Michael just held on for something that wouldn't happen.

Him and Halsey continued to talk for hours and hours until the bar closed. They kept talking as the conversation never got boring between the two. He found a new person that was just so mesmerizing and almost addicting to him.

She told him about her dream and he wanted to hell but she said no. She wanted to make it on her own and Michael for sure knew she would.

It was around 2:30 am at night when the duo finally gave each other their contacts and parted their ways. Michael had never smiled so much before. He felt happy and sad a bit but it was going away..he just didn't think he was good for her.

She said she doesn't care she likes "His type" Whatever that meant, They were just friends.... Right?

Michael stumbled into the dark hotel room giggling quietly at what Halsey had tweeted. He didn't even notice the soft sniffles coming from luke in the dark. His mind was saying 'Halsey Halsey Halsey ...."

He knew his heart was saying other wise, he didn't care, the mind controls the heart right?

"Mikey..please talk to me.." Luke mumbled with tears in his eyes. He had told the band about the girl Michael saw him with and they didn't take it well how luke had kept her a secret...

Michael stayed silent with his eyes glued to his phone. He doesn't want to give in that easily but those blue eyes like had were just too strong for him to fight...

Luke went over and sat on Michaels lap and rested his head on the crook of his neck. Michael sighed and put the phone down. He wrapped his arm lazily around lukes waist.

"I'm not forgiving you that easily luke..." Michael said and put luke to the side and got ready for bed.

Luke felt hurt and devastated.. He was usually the one who never messed up..he was literally the poster child..

The next day would be so hard..And luke was afraid to wake up and to sleep alone...he knew this would happen..... He laid down on his side of the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Michael got comfortable on the small couch and plugged his phone in the wall. He had trouble sleeping since be was little and it was a usual thing that luke and him would have talks at the moment but not tonight...

No Michael was talking to someone new. And he told Calum and Ashton about..but not luke. No he would make luke suffer like he did.

But when Michael turned to see luke asleep he knew that he would always love that blue eyed boy..no matter what and that scared him

helloooo its me :-)

Do you think that Michael will use Halsey to get back at luke? Or does he actually have feelings for her.....? Hmmmmmmmmmm :)
