what i want // mgc

four // hop on

"come on we are almost there i promise." calum drags me by my hand up this hill that feels like we have been walking for years.

"you better not be lying to me." i say back and playfully punch him in the shoulder. calum stops walking and bends forward a bit. i look at him with pure confusion and he just laughs.

"well we dont have all day, hop on!" i smile widely and jump up onto his back and wrap my hands around his shoulders as he holds my thighs. he continues to walk up the hill with me on his back and he finally lets me down onto the grass after a few more minutes of walking.

"wow." was all i could say because this view was absolutely gorgeous. he set down next to me in the slightly dampened grass and tucked a piece of fallen hair behind my ear delicately.

"you're truly one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen in my life." watching those words come out of his perfect lips just made me melt on the inside. he was so easy to fall for but do i really want the easiest option?

i see his face inching closer towards mine and i start to panic. i looked into his chocolate brown eyes that had so much love in them. his full lips pressed against mine as he held my face in his left hand. i slowly pulled away from him and all i could see was michaels face. calum could see the change in my expression suddenly and his face was covered in worry.

"ads are you okay? did i do something wrong?" i stand up from the grass and begin to turn red. what on earth am i going to say now?

"um i- i dont think i can do this right now, im sorry calum." i start to run down this hill with tears forming in my eyes. with my vision blurring i start to stumble. i eventually give up and just sit down on the gravel hugging my knees.

i feel a tap on my shoulder. its obviously calum, he probably ran after me.

"im really sorry its just-" i begin to say as i look up then i completely freeze when i see michael looking down at me.

"hey, whats wrong?" he says in this beautiful australian accent i've never heard before. i immediately attempt to wipe away all the tears that were under my eyes and that have run down my cheeks.

"shhh its okay" he grabs both of my hands and pulls me up off of the ground.

"wh- what are y- you doing here?" i try to say with some hiccups cutting me off. he lets out a slight laugh at my hiccups and it forces a smile out of me.

"don't worry about me right now, do you want to talk about what happened" he looks at me with the most sympathetic puppy dog eyes i've ever seen in my whole life.

we start walking down the hill together side by side and he is one of the best listeners i've ever met. i start telling him everything about calum and also brianna.

"my best friend brianna is always trying to set me up with guys and its so annoying because i just want to find a guy by myself i don't need her help! she set me up with calum and he's one of the best guys i've met but we just don't really connect that well and i was on a date with him i guess but then i freaked out cause when we kissed i was thinking about michael and i feel horr-"

i gasp and cover my mouth as soon as i heard what has just slipped out. i completely freeze and a million things rush into my head. i was rambling so much that i forgot michael was there! he must think im crazy, well i am crazy i have a huge crush on a guy i barely know for gods sake! should i say something?

i stood still, avoiding eye contact, just waiting for michael to say something. literally anything would be great right now

i feel a soft touch underneath my chin as he slowly lifts it upwards. im looking at him right his gorgeous sparking eyes.

"its okay." he says quietly. he pulls me in for a hug and i feel protected. my arms wrapped around his waist as i rest my head on his shoulder. i never want to let go. a single tear drips down my cheek and lands on his soft black hoodie.

my dream boy was with me right now and i finally felt at peace. i cant help but think, what do i do about calum? and who was that girl michael was with earlier?
