I Won't Give Up ~ Michael Clifford

Michael;

After I had gotten back from my walk, I've been sitting in the room with the boys, despite the tension with an urge to strangle Luke, and I've been conversing with Calum.

We were in deep conversation about Fortnite when I got a call, without thinking or looking  who it was, I answered and instantly regretted it.

Michael, hi.

Derek... H-Hi.

How are things? Are the other mates 'round?

I sighed and put him on speaker.

You're on speaker.

Hello guys.

All together, the guys said hi.

So, you guys know your breaks coming to an end this week coming and will have to come back to London to prep for tour.

Fuck. Is it too late to leave the band?

I'll be flying out early Monday morning. Luke says.

Yeah, as much as I love being here to support Bree, I'll be leaving on the same flight as Luke. Calum says.

I'll be on the same flight as Michael and Declan. Ashton says, clearing his throat.

Okay, what about you and Declan, Mikey?

No. No. I'm not leaving.

It's true, I'm not leaving my girlfriends side while she's in a coma after the accident I caused. I know I'll be letting down our fans but they'll understand why I'm missing tour.

No, that's unacceptable Michael. You have to come back with the boys.

No, I'm staying Derek. I'm not leaving Bree!

Look, your love life effects your career on so many levels and I NEED you to be back Monday along with the boys.

This is pissing me off so much, I don't care about anything but Bree.

Derek. I'm staying and that's final.

No Michael! I'm saying this once more, you're going to listen despite your girlfriend being in that damn hospital. I understand that you care for her so much but you need to be on tour rather than sulking around and being depressed when you know she won't wake up anytime soon.

By now I'm in tears, not sad tears but angry tears, and now, I could really care less if I don't go.

Fuck you, Derek.

Just like that, I hung up on our security guard and the boys were in too much shock to say anything. I slammed my phone down on the table, threw on my sweater and stormed off for a bit of air yet again.

Bree;

I know it seems impossible but I can hear everything around me, the surroundings, the voices, literally everything and that call with Derek was too much. Only god knows how much I want to wake up just to chase my baby and calm him down, but who knows when I'll wake up.

Being in a coma sucks, being able to hear everything that goes right and goes wrong sucks, but most of all, not being able to comfort Michael sucks.

"That escalated quickly." I heard Ashton say but there was no responses for a bit.

"I never knew D could be so... Harsh." Calum says, there were hummed responses.
