Don't go || m.c

10

I wake up well rested, today goes almost identical as yesterday, Michael comes over with McDonalds and then he goes off to hangout with Calum, he apologises and promises to hang out with me tomorrow, work is the same as always and Ashton drives me home, we sit in silence.The only difference is that Jade is still awake.

"Good morning," I say, she looks puzzled until she realizes it's 1am meaning technically it's morning. I take in her appearance, she's wearing her Disney princess pyjamas, her hair is in a pony tail and her face clear of make up, I hardly ever see her like this, she goes to bed before I get home and wakes up before me. I must have a confused expression because she quickly explains why she's awake.

"Leigh, Jesy and Perrie are here," she says.

"Tell them I say hi but I'm too tired to stay awake for much longer."

Sleep hit me like a tone of bricks last night, as soon as my head came in contact with my pillow I was swallowed up by unconsciousness. I sit up slowly, not wanting to leave the comfort of my bed, it's nine thirty, I have a shower, washing my hair, today I blow dry it.

"Good morning, is Michael hanging out at the uni?" Leigh asks.

"I forgot to ask, sorry, he said he'd hang out with me so we'll see, if that's okay?"

"Yes, we need to meet this guy," Jesy says, just then there is a knock on the door.

I open it and welcome Michael with a hug, he hugs me back but lets go of me quickly, clearing his throat, I turn to see Leigh and Jesy smiling, Perrie walks out and says hello to Michael and me since I haven't seen her since she's been here, she hugs us both.

"Hi Perrie," Michael smiles brightly, waiting to be rewarded for remembering her name, she smiles back just as brightly before I introduce him to Jesy and Leigh, he says hi and smiles before turning back to me, "is Jade here?" Before I can answer she skips in the room, "JADE!" Michael shouts with excitement before laughing at her response consisting of a scowl.

"Every Wednesday I hang out at the uni with some friends, did you want to come?" I ask.

"Sure, if that's okay?"

"Of course it is," Perrie says, walking straight outside, we follow her out and start walking towards the uni, I let the girls quiz Michael, he clearly loves the attention but finds it a bit overwhelming at times.

"Harry! Louis!" I call out when I see them walking in front of us, they turn around and wait so we can walk with them. The timetables for classes is for a fortnight so Louis has a free along with everyone else.

"Hey Lil, is this Michael?" Harry questions before I can introduce them, I nod and smile.

"Hey, I'm Harry," he flashes his perfect white teeth, "and this is Louis."

I notice Louis is on the phone so he can't talk yet, he gestures a silent hello to Michael before talking into the phone. We sit in our usual spot before Zayn and Liam come over, I introduce Liam because Michael has already met Zayn, Niall comes jogging over with lilac hair.

"Lilac Niall is back!" I shout, "that's Niall," I say to Michael who nods, probably trying to remember everyone's name, "Niall, this is Michael."

"So is this Lil's new flavour of the month?" Louis teases, I playfully hit his forearm. Everyone laughs and I quickly steal a look at Michael to see he's laughing too, phew.

"Don't say that, she might get some ideas and kick me out in nine days," as soon as Michael says it I stop laughing, no one notices though, does he know that I kicked Ashton out? Did he tell him? And if he does know, does he know my reason behind it, that Ashton was trying to set me against Michael? I don't think he knows I kicked him out, it's probably just a coincidence he said that.
