Survival (5 Seconds Of Summer Fanfiction)

Chapter 28

*Michael's POV*

Luke left the hospital finally and me and Nat are finally driving to Toronto.

I've been to Toronto before because of tour but I've never gotten to look around so I'm exited.

"My family is quite different, so you should fit in easily." Natalia said starting to talk about her family, "I still don't know if my dad came back from the tsunami, if he did his name is Daniel. My parents we're split when I was younger so Daniel is actually my step-dad, we'll go visit my birth dad first his name is Graeme." she said "Don't you have siblings?" I asked "Yeah. Carl is 13, he's shy so don't feel bad if he ignores you. Tristan is 6 really outgoing and talks a lot. Kyle is 24, he moved out a while a go so we'll have to go see him too, but he's funny, you remind me of him a lot" she said "They seem cool" I smiled "It's crazy, I'm the only girl out of my siblings. So I've been stuck hanging out with boys my entire life, that's why I act more like a guy than a girl" she said "Is that why you look like a guy too?" I joked, she gasped playfully and smacked my arm "Don't hit me, you'll make me crash the car! And that's already happened once this week!" I laughed.

*THE NEXT DAY*

We left our hotel and Natalia started driving us to her dad's house.

"Where are we going?" I asked after 10 minutes of driving "We're here" she said as we pulled over onto the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. "Here?" I asked, she nodded "You'll see" she said.

We started walking across the grass, this is really weird, does he live out here?

Then a tree came into sight, with something under it. She intertwinded her fingers with mine as if she was scared, "There" she whispered and pointed to the tree, I squinted my eyes trying to find out what was under the tree.

We took a few more steps and then I realized it was grave under the tree

Oh.

I squeezed her hand reassuringly and looked at her, tears sat at the edge of her eyes. We sat down in the grass in front of the grave.

Graeme Blue

1973 - 2012

Then there was a quote,

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because theres so much more to the book than the page you we're stuck on

"Hi dad" she whispered, I smiled, usually I'd think talking to a grave is weird but it actually feels like I'm talking to her father even though he can't talk, but it does feel like he can hear us.

It's weird how one person can change everything.

"I'm back from the island" she said, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my chest. "This is Michael, Michale Clifford" she introduced me. "Hi" I said "He's my boyfriend if you haven't already noticed " she said, I smiled.

We finished talking to him and sat down in the car. "Was that a Zayn Malik quote, on his grave?" I asked "Yeah, he's never liked them, until he read the quotes. He still hates them but he obsessed over that quote, and.. uhm yeah" she said.

"Can you drive?" she asked "Yeah" I said and we switched places and I started the car.

"What happened? I mean, like, how did he pass away?" I asked trying to be as polite and nice as possible, she sighed and started crying.

I pulled over "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that" I said and hugged her, "No, I want to tell you" she whispered "He came home from work and my parents we're fighting about something, and since my bedroom is in the basement I was secretly listening," she paused and wiped her tears, "When I heard my mum stomp up the stairs I ran into my room and pretended to be asleep. Then when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom he was.. hanging, in the laundry room, dead" she said and continued to cry.

I brushed my thumb across her cheek, "Shhh, it's okay" I whispered.

After she finished crying I drove back to our hotel, we discussed this last night. She's going to visit her family alone today and I would come tomorrow.

Which makes semse, she hasn't seen her famly in 2 months so they probably want to see her without some random guy.

I cried while writing this.

But don't worry my dad ain't dead, it's just for the story :P
