You're home to me | Michael Clifford

Chapter 4

A couple days later

Calum's POV

I went over to Michael's place to tell him we got a gig at a club downtown. I was going to text him but I knew he was still probably sleeping. I pulled into Michael's driveway, got out, and let myself in because I knew his parents were at work and he wouldn't answer the door. I made my way up to Michael's room. I opened the bedroom door. I looked over at Michaels bed and saw Michael and Mia intertwined in each other's arms. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I walked over to the bed and woke Michael.

"Michael." I whispered
He sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Fuck- Um Cal what are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you but what the hell is going on?"
"Things are complicated right now but promise me you won't tell anybody."
"I promise but Michael you're gonna have to tell the others soon."

When I said that, Michael looked down at sleeping Mia. She looked so peaceful. He grabbed her hand and rubbed her knuckles.
"I know. I just don't want Mia to get upset and overwhelmed with everything." He said
"I know but Michael?" I said
"Yeah Calum?" He said
"Promise me you'll take care of her? She can't handle you leaving her again and I can't keep myself from killing you if you do." I said
"I promise you I won't." He said
"Okay well we have a gig tonight at 8 I'll pick you up at 6. Make sure you're ready." I said
"Alright."

Michael's POV

Calum walked out of my room shutting the door behind him. I looked at Mia and decided she was probably gonna feel crappy from the night before. We went out last night and Mia had a couple too many drinks. She would probably gonna be hungover. I ran downstairs to get some pain killers and water so she would feel better.

"Mikey?"
I heard a faint quiet voice as I walked up the steps to my room. I pushed open the door with my foot.
"I'm here. Here babe take these you'll feel better."
She scooped the pills out of my hand as she took a sip of the water.
"Thank you." Mia mumbled
"No problem." I smiled
I sat back down on the bed with her. I pulled her over to me and sat her between my legs. I put my face in the crook of her neck and relaxed.

"Mikey?"
"Hm?" I hummed
"Thank you for being there the other night."
"I wasn't gonna let you get hurt or in trouble."
I breathed out into her neck and she giggled.
"That tickles." She squealed
"Does it now? Well if I did this would you still giggle?"
I quick flipped Mia to her back and attacked her sides. Mia laughed and tried to catch her breathe as I tickled her.
"Michael stop!" She laughed
"Fine." I smiled
Mia sat up and crawled over to me. She sat in my lap and snuggled into my chest.

"Mia I need to talk to you."
"Oh about what?" I heard the nervousness in her voice
"We're gonna have to tell everyone what's going on between us soon."
"I know but I'm just afraid of what could happen." She said
"Hey I'm not going anywhere no matter what. Alright?" I said
"Okay." She said
"So what about the whole Ashton thing. I know you had feelings for him."
"Yeah I did but I rejected him the other day. I'm pretty sure it was just a in the moment kind of thing. I think he felt different about me anyways."
"Good that means you're all mine."
"Mhm." She hummed in reply
"You're adorable."
"I feel disgusting." She said
"You can go take a shower if you want." I said
She stepped off the bed and went over to my dresser.
"I'm stealing clothes again sorry." She said
"It's alright. You look good in my clothes anyways." I smiled
"Of course I do." She pretended to flip her hair that was in a pony tail
"You're a dork." I laughed
"Okay shush." She smiled
"Okay go take your shower." I said
"Alright. I'm going." She said

Mia left the room and went for her shower. I decided to just play FIFA till she comes back. It was good solid twenty minutes after she had left. I heard her come into my room.
