Chapter Fourteen

*Liv's P.O.V*
Another day waking up to Mikey sleeping next to me. He was so adorable omggg. I played with his hair as he slept on and snored gently. I held him to me and I just didnt want to let go. I decided that today I was gonna try and walk again. For mine, Mikey, Derek just everyones sake. I know they dont show it but I know they deffinatly hate seeing me like it. Mikey shuffled, yawned and finally opened his eyes wakng up. "Hey" I smiled at him as I carried on playing with his hair. "Hey beautiful, how did you sleep?" He yawned and smiled his best. "Amazing thank you." We lay there for a while just talking about life. Today we decided that we would film a video for Mikey's channel and then he was gonna go out shopping with Derek whilst I got ready to try and walk again.

I got out of bed with Mikeys help and we went to the kitchen to have some food. I had a full english and he just had a bowl of cereal. We laughed and spoke whilst eating our breakfast and then we went into the living room and set up. "What are we filming?" I asked Mikey whilst watching him set up. "Just a basic Q&A. I havnt done one in a while." He smiled. He sat down next to me as he clicked record. "Heyyyy guys its Mikey and im joined with Livvv" I smiled and chuckled. "Hi guys." "And today were doing a Q&A. So I asked you guys on twitter to ask us some questions that you wanted us to answer." I nodded and he carried on doing the intro before getting his phone out. "Okay question one, whos the messiest?" We looked at each other and laughed. "I think we both know its Mikey." I said laughing even more. We carried on and random questions popped up.

He did his outro and packed up. I sat and just watched. I wish I could just jump up and help him. But I couldn't. I smiled as he packed away and he sent a smile back over. "Look Liv, im running late I gotta go." He hugged me and kissed me cheek. "Ill see you later on about 6?" I nodded and he left. It was about 2 so I only had 4 hours to spend a bit of time by myself. My plan today was to eat, facetime Sophie and then get everyone down for a movie night and then try and walk. First thing I did was text Mikey, Derek, Sophie, Bryce, Rory, Amelia and asked about the sleepover and they all said yes.

I havnt really cooked since Ive been out of hospital because I cant reach oops and Mikey is a shit cook so Ive just ordered food or made like a sandwhich or something. I opened the fridge and there was a ready made soup pot so I poured some into a bowl and put it in the microwave. I sat on my phone and took a snapchat. The microwave bleeped and I was finally going to eat. Yayyy. I love food. I eat my soup and watched cbeebies. hehe. I grabbed my phone and facetimed Sophie. "Heyyyyyy Livvvv" She said laughing as she got onto the camera. I chuckled. "Hey Soph." As we spoke I also flicked through my laptop and twitter feed. As I came onto my timeline a post off Mikey came up. It was a photo he just took up the mall of a girl hes sat with in Starbucks with the caption 'Look at herrr 😍😍'. My heart sank. Like I know me and him arnt dating but like I really like him. "Soph" I sighed looking st the camera. "Woah Liv what's wrong" I explained and she said she would come over straight away. So i cut off and waited for Sophie to show up.

The door flung open and she ran in. "What a dick?! I thought he liked you?!" She closed the door and came and set next to me. "So did I" I sighed and wheeled myself to the kitchen.

*Sophie's P.O.V*
What a dick! I mean I know they arnt dating and stuff but you don't flirt and tell someone you like them and go and post that. Ugh. The door opened and he waltzed in with Derek. I'm gonna go mad. "Erm Michael." I stared at him. He raised an eyebrow and I guessed that was because I never call him Michael unless I'm angry or pissed off. Derek knew instantly and walked upstairs. "What's wrong Soph?" He smiled. "What's FUCKING wrong?!" I showed him the photo and he rolled his eyes. "It's just a girl." He said looking down. Well then. "It's upset Liv and pissed me off." I rolled eyes and walked upstairs hoping he would go and speak to Liv

As I got into the bedroom Derek was reading. "Hey baby what was wrong?" He pulled me into his lap as he closed the book. I looked at him and told him and he sighed. "She is only a friend Soph. We've known her ages. I did tell him not to put that caption but he ignored me" he said kissing my cheek. I nodded. I understood but I was just angry right now.

*Mikey's P.O.V*
I did feel kinda bed after what Sophie had said to me so I went into the kitchen to speak to Liv. As I walked in she was trying reach for a drink. I walked over and helped her. "Thanks." She said taking the cup and wheeling off. I sighed and followed. "Liv stop." At that she stopped looked at me. She had a few tears and I couldn't help but feel worse. "What Mikey?" "That photo. I'm sorry I promise she's just a friend. I only have my eyes on you." She looked and nodded. Omg she believed me? "I trust you Mikey."

20 minutes later and we were all in the living room including the rest like amelia, rory and Bryce eating food and watching tv. We were currently watching Alvin and the chipmunks and singing along. Once the film finished, the lights came back on as Derek turned them on and Liv got all our attention. So we all looked. "There's something I've been wanting and waiting to do for a while and nows the perfect time." We all looked at each confused and then back at liv who was sat on the edge of the sofa.

She kept moving closer to be edge and all we could do was watch. She slowly put a foot down and we all knew what was happening. Derek instantly put his hand out but she resisted with a smile and a shake of the head. She took a deep breathe and pushed herself up putting pressure on just the one foot. The other then slowly went down and she was stood on two feet. Omg. She wobbled a little and held tears back fighting the pain before slowly taking baby steps. "OMG LIV" Bryce shouted. We all smiled and clapped. She took about 20 steps then sat on the chair as she couldn't take it anymore.

20 steps, 200 steps. I didn't care. If took bravery and courage to try and walk about 3 weeks when you got told a month or 2. I couldn't be prouder of her right now and I could tell everyone else, including Liv was extremely happy and proud.

Hey guys so tonight was shit. I lost a really close friend and have been crying a lot. That's why there's a late upload. I kinda wanted to put my mind off things but doing what I love so this! :) hope you enjoy and if you have any ideas I could use comment them below! :)
