Michael Clifford's Little Sister

Chapter 16

(Those people in the picture are what Mia's new friends look like. I know Keagan hasn't been in the story yet, but he will be.)

***Mia's Pov.***

Today is my second day. I'm not excited at all for today. I get dressed, in black skinny jeans, a random long sleeved top, and my black Vans. I grabbed my phone and my book bag and went downstairs.

"Hey, Micky. I'm ready for school." I told him. He smiled up at me and nodded. We got in the car and drive to the school.

As we were driving I let my thoughts take over. Michael has been acting weird lately. He stays in his room a lot. He wears a lot of long sleeves or bracelets now. He also doesn't eat a whole bunch. I'm scared he's turning like me. I'm really worried about him. I'll ask him when I get home. I can't deal with this right now.

"Goodbye, Mia. Have a good day." Michael tells me as I get out of the car.

"I'll try. Love you." I tell him closing the door. I walk over meeting Ezra and our friends. I notice there is someone new standing there also.

"Hey, Mia." Ezra says bringing me into a hug. I mumble a 'hey' back.

"Meet Keagan. He wasn't here yesterday." Ezra tells me. Keagan walks over to me and smiles.

"Hello, I'm Keagan." He says reaching his hand out.

I take his hand and shake it. "Hello, I'm Mia." I tell him smiling.

"You're not from here are you?" He asks. I just laugh.

"What makes you think that?" I ask. He just laughs.

"I don't know. It might be your sweet accent." He said.

"Yea, I'm from Sydney, Australia, if you couldn't of guessed by my accent." I say.

"Well, I like it. I've always thought Australian and British accents sound cool."

"Awe, thanks. But to me you are the guys with the accent. American accents are pretty awesome." I told him. He just smiles. The bell rings and we all walk to class.

I take my seat next to Ezra. We are still working on the project. Well, we are supposed to. We are just getting to know each other really.

"Hey, um... I know we just met but would you... maybe... want to go on a date with me this weekend?" Ezra asked me. Wow. I was shocked. I definitely have a crush on Ezra.

"Yea, I would love that." I tell him. He smiles which makes me smile. We exchange numbers. The bell rings and I move on to boring math class. I'm really good at math but I hate it. I didn't pay attention. I was too busy thinking about Ezra.

At lunch I sat with Ezra, Chloe, Lexi, Brandon, and Keagan. To my surprise no one even tried to mess with me today.

After lunch I went to my class, which was Chemistry. I sat in the back when a girl with blonde hair walks over and sits down next to me. She looks like a popular to me. I get nervous.

"Hello, my names Emma." She says. I smile at her.

"Hi. I'm Mia." I tell her. We talk the rest of the class and get to know each other really well.

"Hey, you should try out for the cheer leading squad. We are having try outs next week. She tells me.

"Um.. I don't know. I haven't done cheer for years." I tell her.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine." She told me. I told her I would think about it.

After school I Elam out of the building to see Michael sitting in his car. I walk over.

"Hey, how was your day? I hope it was better than yesterday."

"It was a lot better. No one even tried to bother me. I made two new friends. One is on the cheer team. She wants me to try out." I told him.

"Oh, really? Are you going to try out?" He asks as he turns the corner to Harry's house.

"Um, I don't know. I haven't cheered in a long time. I don't want to be the worst one there." I told him.

"Please, you were the best person on your cheer team. I'm sure you'll do just fine. I think you should totally try out." He told me. I nod and decide to give it a shot.

We got home and we sit on the sofa. I decided now would be a good time to ask.

"Micky..." I say.

"Yes?"

"Are you ok?" I say worried.

"What? Of course I'm ok. Why wouldn't I be?" He was clearly lying.

"I know your lying, Michael." I sigh. "I'm not blind. I know the signs. You're very distant. You always wear long sleeves or bracelets. I never see you eat... Michael when did this start? And why didn't you tell me? I could of helped you earlier." I told him sadly. I had tears welled up in my eyes.

"Mia, I didn't want to worry you." He said.

"When did it start? Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"It started when you were in the hospital. I blamed it all on myself. And I couldn't take it. I thought you were going to die. So I wanted to die. I stopped eating, started smoking and cutting. I was going to stop when you got better. But it because a stress reliever. And once the boys and I got in a fight I became depressed again. I know I need help. I want to get better but I'm scared." He told me crying. I hugged him crying.

"I'm going to be here for you the whole time. I love you and I can't lose my older brother and my best friend. I need you." I tell him.

"I know. I want to get better. I'm going to get help. For you. I love you." He tells me. We fell asleep in each other's arms.
