Wherever you are (Michael Clifford)

Michael

I ran down my stairs almost falling on my face but I don't care, I just have to meet Michael because he will be there soon, we agreed to meet half way.

I don't even know how I'm getting there but right now, I'm half jogging half walking, trying to see through the rain and the fact that I'm really un fit.

The rain is drenching me from head to toe and I feel scared. What if he is hurt? It could be anything and it's killing me not to know. If it was something normal why wouldn't he have texted me or called?

10 minutes later I see Michael sitting on the grass with his head in his hands. I begin to run down the hill and he hears me and gets up, beginning to walk towards me.

I immediately run into his arms and I'm surprised he didn't fall down with the impact.

Everything in this moment feels better in the world, and I find myself wishing I could just stay like this forever.

But reality quickly snaps back, and we are drenched, and Michael still hasn't told me what's wrong.

"Michael, what's wrong you had me worried?" I have to shout a little over the torrential rain.

He looks down avoiding my gaze, but I lift his chin with my finger and bring his eyes back to mine.

"It's my dad Han." He tenses at the mention of his dad and i rub his arm to relax him.

I'v now got to the point where I am definitely going to be ill after this, the rain making my skin red and numb.

"What did he do?" I make a mental note to punch Michael's dad square in the jaw if I ever meet him, he's caused him so much pain and it makes me angry because Michael doesn't deserve that.

"He just.. He's kicking me out basically, he says I'm just an object to the house, that I don't do anything or whatever." He says frustratedly trying to remember what his dad said.

The rain begins to pour down even harder and I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to move from this spot that we are in. Like we are frozen in time.

"But, he can't do that I mean, where will you stay, he can't just expect you too..."

He cuts me off immediately.

"Han of course he can, he doesn't care about me or what happens to me, he knows I have no where to go."

I try to figure out what to say but before I can think about it the words are already out of my mouth.

"Well.. You can stay with me ok. You can stay with me! My mum and dad are going away for 3 weeks on holiday and.. That should give you enough time to figure out what you want to do and if not, you can stay even longer."

He looks at me with complete disbelief.

"Han I can't do that, you have your own life, I can't come between you and Jake anymore than I already have."

I grow angry in an instant, he needs to let me help him he has no other option.

"Michael shut up okay! Exactly, I have my own life but you know what? You are in my life wether you like it or not, and you are staying with me, I don't give a fuck what you say."

He throws his hands up in the air in frustration.

"Stop it Hannah, stop caring about me like that ok, it makes me so god damn confused." He shouts angrily.

"What do you mean it makes you confused? I can't help to care for you Michael it's just the way it is, and If I had a choice I still would." I shout back just as angry, I'm not loosing Michael.
