The Wonderful Book Of Imagines

Michael Clifford Imagine 4

*Michael’s P.O.V.*

“Mikey, we are on in five. Hurry up.” I hear Ashton scream from the other side of the door

I had been sitting on the couch in our dressing room looking through pictures of both of us for the past half hour. I missed her terribly; it’s been sixth months since I last saw her. We spoke everyday but it wasn’t the same. I missed her voice, her breathing, her jokes, her smile, her eyes, her touch, her hugs and most of all her kisses. She was living with her family and going to school while I was touring the world with my band 5sos as the opening act for One Direction. I shut off my phone after looking at one last picture- the picture we had taken before I left off for the US. One step at the time, I made my way towards the entrance to the stage. I could hear the screaming from a thousand girls.

*Melanie’s P.O.V.*

It’s times like this at night when my brain suddenly goes on hyper mode. I couldn’t fall asleep because a million thoughts were coming into my mind. How was Michael enjoying himself in LA? Did he miss me? Was he being truthful to our relationship? Did he really love me? Does he want to be at home with me? Even though he answered those questions constantly over a text message or a phone, I still doubted myself. I turned around in my large bed and face the empty spot that Michael would lie in if he was here. My hand slowly grabbed the duvet from his side. I pulled it up to my face; his scent was still there. I hadn’t bothered to wash the duvet after he left.  I observed the soft melody playing on the radio. Music felt lost without the lyrics. I felt lost without Michael by my side. I turned around in the duvet and held it tight until fatigue took over me.

*Michael’s P.O.V.*

“Usually the other boys would present this song but tonight I will because I’d like to dedicate it to my beautiful girlfriend, Melanie, who is at our home in London at the moment. I miss her terribly and I want her to know that I love her very much.” I said before I heard Ashton banging on the drums. I looked up at the audience to see a thousand lights being waved everywhere. Calum slowly starts the introduction of the song. I suddenly felt my throat clench when we got to the part where we had to sing the chorus together. I couldn’t make out the words without having tears blurring my vision.

“She sleeps alone
My heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was
Beside you
She lies awake
Trying to find the words to say
I wish I was, I wish I was
Beside you”

While Calum sang his solo, I thought about all the wonderful memories Melanie and I shared over the past. I remember meeting Melanie in Australia a couple years ago. She had been visiting the country with her family when we met at a beach where her family had settled for the day. She was so interesting that I to get her number. Sadly since she lived in Canada and didn’t have world-wide texting, she could only give me her Skype and twitter name. This was enough for me to have a chance. I remember skyping and dming her constantly to know how her day was even if it was three a.m. where I was. It wasn’t until two years ago, that I asked her out while we were visiting Canada for promo. I had invited her to come tour with us during the Canadian leg of it. It was in her hometown, that I asked her out. It wasn’t until last year that she applied to a university in London where she could be closer to me. We had planned for her to go there because I was supposed to stay in London for a while. However, it didn’t turn out that way. The band and I got news from our management that we were heading off on tour soon with One Direction. This news only came out a couple months after she moved in. We haven’t spent much time together in our new house. So I couldn’t wait to be back in London, where our home was, and to be able to hold her in my arms. However, I had one more month before we headed back home. Not a month of touring but of recording music for our new album. This meant that I would most likely write a lot of songs about missing Melanie. I can just imagine how the boys will react. I let out a small laugh at the thought.
