Baby Clifford

Panics

"Michael, Michael, Mikey wake up. Mikey you need to wake up." Michael opened his eyes. No one was there. "Michael Gordon Clifford, go to Calum. Apologize. I can't stand the two of you like this. Move on, my little kitten." Michael opened his eyes again, he was faced down on his pillow. "He's awake, Daddy." He heard Copeland. Michael sat up and cracked his back.

He looked to his right, there wasn't a little Melody next to him. "Melody?" He exclaimed before looking at Kellin. "Where is she? Where's my baby girl, Kellin?" Michael asked, completely frightened. "Michael, you need to calm down." Kellin said and sat next to him. "What do you last remember?" He asked. "I fought with Calum and went to a bar. I-I got kicked out and I walked to the h-home that Haylie and I wanted to buy a-and th-threw the bottle at it." Michael cried with his face in his hands. "Michael, it's okay. You drunk called me last night and I brought you back. Melody is in Calum's room." Kellin explained and ran his hand up and down Michael's back. Michael took many deep breathes.

"I hate being in London." Michael whimpered. "Wait, what? The fans are great here and the shows-" "Not that part! There's just so much fucking shit that went on here." Michael groaned. "I had to meet her and fall in love, God I'm such an idiot!" Michael exclaimed. "Hey, think like this, if you'd never met Haylie, you would've never had Melody. Now, don't tell me that Melody is part of that fucking shit." Kellin suggested to him to see the brighter side. "Makes the darkness a little brighter, doesn't it?" He nudged Michael. Michael nodded. "That's what Calum and I fought about. He doesn't get how he can't be with Melody 24/7. Once a week, perfect, but you know what. He needs to grow up and make his own fucking life! He's such a dumb ass for thinking he can just go ahead and visit. I yelled at last night that he needs to stop thinking that he's more than Melody's uncle. I'm her father, not him! He should stop fucking acting like it! I'm getting sick of him being around too!" Michael exclaimed.

If only he knew who was on the other side of the door. "Melody, we'll come back later on today." Calum stated, trying to not break into tears. He stood there long enough to hear Michael said he needed his own life. He now heard enough from Michael's voice. "Otay," she shyly spoke and followed Calum with their hands being held.

"Melody, I'm going to take a shower and I want you to stay in this room. Do you understand me?" Calum explained to her. Melody nodded and saw his puppy eyes get water in them. "Love you Uncle Cal," she pulled him into a hug with her tiny arms wrapped around his neck. "Love you too, now stay here." Calum said before going into the bathroom.

Melody listened to her uncle Calum say mean words about her daddy and what sounded like crying as well. Melody heard him grumble about her daddy angrily. "Stupid fucking bastard I'm helping you, Goddammit Michael!" Calum yelled.

Melody let a tear fall. She didn't like this. She wanted like it was. Not like this where uncle Cal hated Daddy. Melody didn't want to live in a world like this. She grabbed Tiggs and Daniel before leaving the room, quietly closing the door. "Don't wike hate." She whispered before going to the elevator and leaving the hotel into the very busy and crowded London city all by herself with tears rolling down her cheeks without hesitation. She held onto her stuffies tightly to her just like her life dependent on them.

"Melody this isn't funny! Come out, I give up!" Calum called. He was panicking. When he came out of the shower, she was gone. He grabbed his phone and texted everyone but Michael if they'd seen her. All of them said they hadn't, but would look. Oh, Calum was dead. He never had such a feeling that death was this close to him before.

Oh how Michael panicked. His heart was racing, he did have points were it was hard for him to breath. Up and down Michael's spine was nothing but the chills. Not to mention he was a crying mess.

He was quickly pacing across the room, tugging his hair and whisper-yelling at himself. He shouldn't have left the hotel to get drunk after the fight. He should've came back and calm down in a better way. His baby girl would still be with him then.

Kellin called up Luke and Ashton to help calm down the panicking father. Michael even look like he was a walking panic attack.

When they came, Michael wouldn't really listen to them. He didn't believe any word on how she was okay. He wouldn't believe it until she came into the room. When Ashton had told him to breath, Michael yelled at him, "I'm breathing you dumb ass! I'm still alive, hence I'm still breathing!" Luke got up and stopped Michael from pacing. "Michael, you need to calm your ass down. The Sleeping with Sirens guys are looking for her and will find her. Melody probably didn't wander that far. And if any of the fans find her, they will bring her back here." Luke confronted him. "Okay, now sit down! Pacing isn't going to help." He added, Michael obeyed.

Justin knocked on the door. Luke opened the door. "Found this little one Abbey Road with help of a fan. Thought she might belong to a 5SOS member." He said and motioned to Melody. Michael admittedly looked over and within seconds he scooped her up and held her so tight that Melody could only breath. He scattered kisses all over her face. "Don't you ever run off like that again!" Michael scolded her with some of his tears landing on the top of her head. "Daddy was so afraid! Someone could've easily stole you! A tiny little girl like you should never, ever run all alone is such a big city! Baby girl, don't you scare me like that again! Daddy nearly had a panic attack! An, I love you so much! But what in the he---earth were you thinking?" Michael exclaimed and set her down on the bed with his hands on her shoulders. "D-don't wike when you and Cal awgue. Scawey." Melody whimpered. "Melody, we aren't arguing. We just had a disagreement." Michael told her. "Why he not here?" She frowned. "He's on his way," Kellin said and there was a knock on the door. Luke opened the door, again. A tearful face of a Calum Hood came inside of the room. "I-I'm s-so so sorry." He cried. "I-I told her to st-stay." Calum added. "It's okay, and I'm sorry for what I said before. Melody and I need you." Michael spoke and smiled up at him. "Yeah, and I shouldn't have brought her up." Calum admitted. "See baby girl, Uncle Calum and Daddy are getting along. We forgave each other." Michael told her. "Hug then," she told them, somewhat sassy. "Will that believe we forgive each other?" Michael asked her. Melody nodded. Michael got up and opened his arms for Calum. Calum literally ran into his arms and hugged him tight.
