Don't Stop | Michael Clifford

Chapter 3

Throughout the rest of the night, Maddie would not stop talking about these boys, I was beginning to get annoyed at her. Actually, it was annoying, so I got annoyed at her pretty quickly. I just wanted to forget about this horribly annoying guy. Maddie kept reminding me, asking all sorts of question about 'our meeting' and telling all sorts of facts about him. Honestly, I couldn't even remember half of the stuff she told me.

But she eventually shut up, so I could sleep peacefully. My slumber was really deep, and it was a really good dream I was dreaming, that until Michael appeared in my dream, which made me jump up a bit, waking up, trying to catch my breath. I look down at the floor, where Maddie had fallen down on the double madras on the floor next to Darren; she had been sleeping on the other couch, me on one also and Darren on the madras. I sat up, checking my phone, seeing it was nearly 10:30. I yawn, just as the bell rang, both of them slowly awakening. "El, could you open?" Maddie mumbles, burying her face in the pillow. I sigh, standing up, going over to the door, opening it. Outside the door was standing a guy, me immediately taking a hand through my messy hair. He was rather attractive, hot even.

"Oh," he said, biting his lip a bit. "Sorry... wrong apartment," he apologized, slightly looking me up and down. I snap in front of him, making his eyes go to mine again, my eyebrows rising. "I-I'm looking for Maddie, if you know her."

"Yeah she lives here, I'm her friend," I mumble, stepping aside. He thanks a bit, walking in, and I catch him glance at my ass. Wow, if this is the guy Maddie is dating, I'm going to have a chat with her, no doubt.

"Jack?" I hear Maddie say, covering herself a bit with the blanket that was wrapped around her, since she fell asleep in her underwear. I'm just glad I was wearing more than that, since I opened for this Jack-guy.

"Who's that?" I heard Jack say, it sounded like he said it through gritted teeth, while he pointed at Darren, who then looks up. He could use some more sleep.

"Oh, I'm gay," he quickly tells him, making Jack's shoulders relax a bit. Maddie stands up smiling, still with the blanket covering her body. She walks over, tiptoeing, pecking his lips.

"What are you doing here?" she asks, as I see him glance at her slightly exposed chest, like, look at her eyes! I feel my hands clench a bit, as I let out a sigh, taking on the hoodie I wore yesterday, so I at least could hide my chest a bit. I might be wearing something, but it wasn't like I was wearing an oversized sweater.

"Just... wanting to know what you're doing tonight," he smiled, his hands finding their way to her waist, her only smiling up at him. For some reason she always liked guys who could be a bit touchy, I have no idea why. But I'm thinking it has something to do with her being so dirty-minded, like seriously, sometimes it even grosses me out. But I don't know.

"Well, I'm actually going clubbing with these two, but you could tag along I guess?"

"What, club? You're not twenty-one yet," he says, knitting his eyebrows. She just shrugs, giggling a bit, biting her lip as she looks at him, raising her eyebrows. He then chuckles a bit. "Fake ID, right?" he chuckles, her nodding. We had gotten them about a year ago or something, where we were way more rebellious, but we still kept them. On that I was 22, me being 20 in real life. Darren didn't need one, he had turned 21 just a few weeks ago. "But yeah, that'll be great." She squeals, kissing his lips again. This wasn't good, this was so not good. She was already falling for this guy, and honestly? He seemed like a total dick, a prick, Casanova, do I need to say more? Oh, maybe the fact that Maddie was totally oblivion to it. Looking at Darren, it looked like he was more focusing on the looks of Jack. I roll my eyes, that was so typical Darren.

"Well, then come over around seven and pick us up," she smiles up at him. He nods, kissing her before leaving. "Isn't he just cute!?" she squeals as soon as he had left, Darren nodding wildly.
