Chapter 20

Allison's POV

"I understand what you're going through." He said as tears welled up in his eyes.

"What-How-" I couldn't form any words. I was in too much shock.

"I stopped a long time ago.  Sure I still have my bad days, but I remember all the good that has come my way and it makes me happy."

"Do the boys know?"

"No, and I wasn't planning on telling them"

"I'm sorry that you went through that." I said.

"It's fine, it over now." He said as he pulled me into a hug. We sat in a comfortable silence before Michael broke the silence.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.

"I guess, you're gonna find out sooner or later." I sighed. I took a breath before I continued. "I was bullied since I was around 8. Kids would tease me and call me ugly and fat or something. Once in a while they would physically abuse me. I then met Luke.  If some kid started to tease me he would basically scare them away. He always used to protect me. Years later kids were still bullying me, but it got worse. They were telling me to die and stuff like that. Luke still came to the rescue and comforted me everyday. Eventually, Luke had to leave for tour and we lost touch. That was around the time when my dad started to drink... This led to my mom yelling at him to stop and they soon started to fight, nonstop.  Everything began to crumble around me and that brings us to where we are now." I said while crying. Michael held me tighter as I sobbed into his chest. 

"Shhhh, you've got me now, along with Luke. And Calum, Ashton, and Izzy.  We all love you to death, we wouldn't want to lose you. Especially me. I've lost too many people in my life, I can't risk losing another." Michael said. I then felt something wet hit my head. I turned around and saw that Michael was crying softly.

"Don't cry over me, I'm not worth it." I sighed while wiping his tear away.

"You are Allison!  You're so worth it. You make me genuinely happy.  No one can do that. Not even the boys sometimes. But with you, just your presence makes me jumping with joy. I don't know what it is Allison, but there's something about you that just completes me. You're so fucking beautiful, and I don't know how you can't see that. You're not fat. If anything you're underweight. You're not ugly. You're not worthless. You have a reason to be here. People care about you, especially me.  And I'll get through any obstacle that comes my way just so I can show you that you truly mean something." Michael said.

"You're wasting your time on me."

"No I'm not, every second with you matters to me. I care so much about you, Allison."

"Thank you." I whispered.

"Anything for you."
