Stationed! (A Michael Clifford fanfic)

Chapter Two

Michael, being left in the studio on his own had fallen asleep. He awoke to darkness. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to look at the time and realised it was getting late and he should probably start heading back to the house. Suddenly Bella marched in.

'Calum...' she called. It was pitch black but she could here rustling behind her and turned around.

Michael got up quickly off the sofa he was on to greet her.

'Calum?' she questioned, a little scared.

'Better...' he Michael chuckled, 'Me'

Bella realising it was Michael relaxed a little and tried to find a light switch. When she found it she flicked it on.

'Michael? You look...' she said trying to think of the right word.

'Gorgeous' he suggested

'No I was going for trashed. What have you been drinking? And what is that smell?' she said, looking a little ill.

'Oh that's my bad' he said as he suddenly remembered he'd thrown up in the dustbin that stood by the sofa. Bella looked revolted.

'Ew that is disgusting! Anyway do you know where my lovely cousin is? I was expecting you all to be here until late' she questioned looking a little confused

'At the flat I think. They left when I turned up...drunk' he explained looking guilty and explained what happened.

'Oh Mikey, I did wonder why you were alone. But why were you drunk? Is everything okay? You know you can tell me, that's what girlfriends are for.' She said as she pulled him in for a hug, noticing he didn't look like his normal happy self.

'Yeah why wouldn't it be, everything is just fine' He replied not very convincingly.

Bella's phone went off, she read it and carried on.

'Well the stunt you pulled this morning was very out of character' she sighed.

'Not you as well, it was just a bit of fun' he snapped.

'Oh okay, well you know I'm here if you ever want to talk' she reassured, a bit taken aback by his snappy retort.

'I know, thanks Bels' he said looking guilty.

'I thought we were meant to be meeting here, but Cal has just text me to meet at the house. Do you want to walk with me? Or are you staying here?' She questioned hopefully.

'Of course I'll walk with you, I need to get back to the guys anyway. And Bels?...' Michael paused before he finished his sentence. He and Bella have been dating for over two years now, and every time he said these words he meant them.

'..I love you' he finished

She moved closed to him and pulled her face towards his before replying.

'I love you too Michael Clifford'

They kissed, and then hand in hand they left.
