ticking time bomb||m.c

Chapter 5

I run up the stairs towards the stage and hear the screaming crowds get louder and louder.

I flash security my AAA pass and stand in the wings.

'there she is!' Luke says into the mic.

I extend my arm out and wave to the crowd, keeping myself hidden

'Come on out' Ash laughs

I shake my head violently as Calum runs up to me

'fuck sake' I whisper as he grabs my hand and pulls me onto the stage whilst the crowd chant my name

None of them knew about me and Michael, they just thought we were good friends.

Calum guides me to a stall that was place in-between Luke and Michael.

I turn round to Ash and we winks at me. I turn around to face the crowd who were all focused on me.

'So, someone wrote a song, not saying who, and we all decided to sing it to you' Michael says as he looks at me

I sigh as they all take their places.

Odds are, it was Michael and he doesn't want let me go.

Luke starts by strumming lightly on his acoustic.

I recognise the chords. I've heard them practising this many times.

' for a while we pretended, that we never had to end it.

but they knew we'd have to say goodbye.

you were crying at the airport, when they finally closed the plane doors.

I could barely hold it all inside.

Torn in two, and I know i shouldn't tell you, but i just can't stop thinking of you.

wherever you are, you, wherever you are.

every night i almost call you just to say it always will be you, wherever you are'

As they finished the song, I couldn't help but cry.

It was so beautifully written and the way their voice all melodised together just made me weak.

I stood up and went to hug Luke as he was closet to me.

He pulled my small frame into his giant body and I felt the warmth and sweat rub off onto me.

I moved away and hugged Calum's thin but precise body.

I then went to hug Michel.

I walked over to him pulled him into me tightly. I have missed this.

I clung onto his body as he clung onto mine.

As I sobbed into his shoulder, he rubbed his hand up and down my back comforting me.

'Ohh lala' Luke sings into the mic.

Remembering I was in an arena filled with screaming fan girls who had no idea about me and Michael in the first place, I quickly pulled out of the hug.

I walked over to Ash who was standing waiting for me. As he pulled me in, he gave me a kiss on the cheek which sent the crowd wild.

I quickly exited the stage and ran down into a dressing room labelled 'One Direction' and straight into Harry's arms.

'Whats up?' He asks concerned

'I don't know!' I cry even more

I pull away and wipe under my eyes
