High and Broken // Michael Clifford & Luke Hemmings

Chapter III

Michael shut the bathroom door behind him, he says with a clenched jaw, "Luke. Can you give Bailey and I a moment." It wasn't a question, it was a command.

Luke got off the bed and ran out of my room, slamming the door shut.

Michael looked from the door to me and back to the door, then me again with a sigh. I looked at him saying, "What's wrong with you, Michael?"

He sighed again, "You can do better than him, B."

I looked at him and stood up, "I don't like him like that. You know that right?"

He chuckled, not because something was funny though, "I know that, at least I think I do. But what I know for a fact is that he likes you like that."

I couldn't help but blush a little when I said, "How do you know that?"

Michael began to talk with his hands, he does this when he's passionate about what he's discussing, "All he ever does is talk about, Bailey! It's pretty damn annoying!"

"Michael, I doubt that. Luke doesn't like me! No one likes me, Michael!" My voice with each word.

Michael's look softened as he took a small step toward me, "People like you, Bailey. A lot of people do, I hear them in the hallway saying how beautiful you are and how they wish they could be with you. That's why I got suspended a couple if weeks ago.."

I straightened up a little, "What'd you do to them to get yourself suspended?"

He had a smug look, "I beat their asses. Told them you were mine."

My face got red again, "Yours?"

Smug look still there and obvious, "Yep, I really like you. I couldn't bear to see you with someone else, let alone hear people talking about you. Then you go and kiss Luke twice? Seriously? It was killing me not to break his jaw both times."

"You. You like me?"

"How can I not? You're absolutely gorgeous, B! You're every guys dream!"

"How is that?" My blush is evident, I can feel it.

"You play video games, you always look absolutely sexy, you smoke weed for Christ's sake!"

"Video games turn you on?" I took a step towards him.

He took an extra step towards me, "Of course, B."

I was thinking, 'Michael is pretty hot, and he's beautiful, his hair is amazing, I've liked him for a while. He's kind, sweet, cares for me. Wow.. I think I really care for him.'

I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his chest, Michael wrapped his arms around me and whispered, "God I want you to be mine."

I looked up at him, "Then I am."

He smiled and looked down at me, "So it's official?"

I smiled back, "It's official."

He bent his head a little and I stood up on my toes a little to kiss him, and he kissed me back. He held my waist with one hand and with the other on the back of my head in my hair. I kept my arms around his waist, pulling on his Def Leppard shirt.

He pulled away and said, "I think I love you."

I bit my lip, "I think I love you too."
