Michael Clifford's Little Sister

Chapter 17

*** Mia's Pov.***

The rest of the week went really fast. It's now Saturday and I'm getting ready for Ezra and I's date. He never said where we are going but he said to wear my bathing suit, so we must be going swimming. I put on my bathing suit and stare at myself in the mirror. I hate what i see. I look so fat and ugly. You can see all my scares. I immediately regret agreeing to go. I should of said something when he mentioned wearing my bathing suit. I sigh and continue getting ready. I put on some black shorts and an aqua colored tank top. I put on my bracelets to cover the scares on my arms. I then put on some cute sandals. I put on some water proof wake up and straighten my hair. I look at myself in the mirror and still hate what I see. Hopefully he doesn't notice the scares on my legs.

I hear a knock on the door and run downstairs to answer it. It's Ezra.

"Hey." I say smiling.

"Hey. You look beautiful." He tells me. I blush.

"Thanks." I smile.

"You ready to go?" He asked. I just nod. We get in the car and he starts driving.

"When did you bleach your hair? It looks really good by the way." He asks.

"Oh, thanks. I got it done last night after school. I'm going to try out for the cheer team next week and thought I would fit in a bit better. I also have been wanting to bleach it for a while." I tell him. His face drops when he hears what I said.

"Whats wrong?" I asked worried.

"Nothing... It's just... I really like you and once the popular people get to you... you won't want to hang out with people like me." He says sadly.

"No... that won't happen. I really like you too. Don't worry cheer leading won't change me. I use to cheer, and no matter how hard the popular people tried they never changed me." I reassured him.

"Ok." He says smiling. Next thing I know we are parked and getting out of the car. I look and we are at the beach. Ezra walks beside me holding a basket.

"What are we doing here?" I ask him. He smiles and grabs my hand walking.

"We are having a picnic." He says. He sets down the basket and pulls out a blanket. He lays it down and pulls all the food out. I sit down and he follows.

We eat and just talk for an hour. We then decide to swim. I hesitantly take off my clothes leaving me in my bathing suit. We walk into the ocean.

"Look." Ezra tells me pointing at the sky. I turn around look at the sunset.

"Wow. It's beautiful." I say amazed at how pretty it was.

"Not as beautiful as you." Ezra says from besides me. I look down and blush. I look up to look at him. Next thing I know his lips are on mine. At first I'm in shock but I quickly recover and kiss him back. He pulls away and we both smile. He takes my hands in his.

"Mia, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. I nod.

"Yes." I tell him and we kiss again.

"I want you to know, you can tell me anything, ok? I saw the scares on you legs and wrists.." He says. I look down and see that my bracelets slid down so my scares were visible.

"I-I can explain." I begin but Ezra cut me off.

"No, you don't need to explain. I understand. I've done it too." He told me moving his bracelets to show me his scares. I look at him and smile. No I wasn't happy he has went though so much pain, he felt the need to cut himself, like I have. But I smile because someone finally understands.

"Someone finally understands." I smile and hug him. After swimming for a few more hours we decide to leave. Once we get to my house we say our goodbyes.

"I had a lot of fun tonight. Thank you." I told him.

"Thank you, for agreeing to come. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight." He says. He kisses me and walks away to his car. I walk inside and walk to the living room and find Michael watching t.v.

"Hey, how did the date go?" He asked.

"Really well actually. He asked me to be his girlfriend." I said smiling.

"What did you say?"

"I said yes. He makes me really happy. Happier than I have been since Calum." I tell him.

"Well, I'm happy for you, Mia." Michael says. I'm surprised he's so cool with this. But I'm happy he supports us.

That night I fall asleep happily. Not by crying myself asleep or by taking sleeping pills. I actually feel asleep by myself happy.
