Chapter six

"Well look who it is boys, it's Ms.Princess. What's up babe?" he asks stepping closer to me. "Don't call me babe Calum. And actually I was just leaving," I say turning towards the road. "Oh where do you think you're going honey? You don't want to hang out with us tonight?" he asks pointing to his friends. "No I'm good staying here. My ride home is almost here," I say mentally yelling at Ashton for being so slow. "I think you should stay with us Emma," Calum says pinning me against the wall. "Calum, get off of me. I'm tired of you bothering me," I say pushing him off me. "So it would bother you if I do this?" he asks pressing his lips to the side of my neck. "CALUM I SWEAR TO GOD GET OFF OF ME!" I scream starting to kick him. Out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of icy blue hair running over here. Michael Clifford. As soon as I know it, Calum is on the ground with a broken nose. "I'm sorry Emma. I didn't know what was going on so I panicked," he said pulling me into his arms. "No actually you did the right thing. He was harassing me and pinning me against the wall. So thank you so much Mikey," I say breathing into his chest. "This isn't exactly how I wanted to meet you, but I'm terribly sorry I stood you up. I can explain," Michael expresses. "Please do." I say pulling away from him. Michael's mouth turns into a hard line as he talks. "I totally forgot that I had to pick up my friends work shift. I'm so sorry I can make it up to you," he says smiling. "And how is that Michael?" you question. "I'm going to take you out on a real date. You know one I can actually ask you out on instead of Luke," he laughs. "Go ahead mister Clifford," I insist. "Will you, Emma Irwin, go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" he asks grinning. "But of course. Just don't stand me up this time or my brother might have to kill you," I say giggling. Just as I mention Ashton, he pulls up to the sidewalk and gets out, slamming the door. "Why the hell is Calum on the ground and Michael all over you?" he yells. I seemed to have gotten caught up in the moment with Michael and forgot all about Calum laying on the ground. Michael and I must not have talked long. Michael takes a step back and starts to explain for me. "As she was waiting for you to show up, Calum came up harassing her so my only option was to break his nose," Michael says pointing to Calum's face. "Calum is my band mate, but I'm not afraid to break another bone in his body," Ashton says pulling Calum off the ground. He was down there for a long time so when he got up his legs were wobbling. "I can also explain," Calum explains. His friends aren't here to protect him anymore so Ashton might kill him if I don't stop him. Just as Ashton pulls his fist back I step in and grab is arm. "Ashton calm down, Michael already broke his nose," I try to explain. "Why don't you take Calum to the emergency room and I take Emma back home for you?" he asks Ashton. "Okay but don't go anywhere other than there Emma. I still have to talk to you about this," he demands. As Ashton walks off with Calum, Michael snakes his arm around my waist. We walk a couple more steps in silence then step in Michael's car. "Why were you here at the bowling alley anyways?" I question him. "My friend came here and his girlfriend left him so he needed someone to come hang with him. So here I am," he waves his hands in the air. "Well why are we driving to my house if you came here for him?" I ask. "Because I care about you Em. I didn't want you with anybody except me," he says cooly. I can feel myself blushing at his words. Does he actually care for me? Do I care for him? 1000 more questions pop into my head but Michaels voice carries me out of my thoughts and back into the passenger seat. "We are here. See you at 6 tomorrow night right here," he smiles pulling into my driveway. "Thanks for the ride. I look forward to our 'real date'," I say stepping out of the car. "Wait," Michael says pulling me back in the seat. "I think you forgot something," he states. "And what would that be?" I ask him. "This," he says leaning over the center console. "Wha-" I am cut off by Michael's lips crashing onto mine.
