Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

Rebeca's P.O.V.

I was lying on my bed in my room and listening to music. My head stopped hurting so I was in a better mood. I talked to my dad a while ago and let him know what happened and he found this whole situation funny. Oh whell dad…I can't blame him tho, he's not the one who got a punch in the face with a door. He said he'll be late tonight (working), so I have the house to myself for a while until Michael comes.

I decided to unpack some stuff, since we moved only 2 days ago. I decided to decorate my room so I could feel more comfortable. I put pictures of me and my mom on the wall right above my bed. I miss her so much…

When I almost finished I saw my mom's guitar lying in the corner of my room. I haven't played any instruments since she died and I haven't sung either. I actually don't want to…I just can't. I sat on my bed, still looking at the guitar in the corner. I felt tears running down my cheeks.

*flashback*

"Mommy! Mommy!" I yelled.

"I will catch you honey!" My mum smiled while she was chasing me.

It was spring and we were on our backyard of our house in Canada. Dad was sitting on the porch and reading his newspaper. I was only six years old back then.

"No mommy! No." I yelled.

She ran behind me, lifted me in the air and spun me around. I screamed and she was laughing.

I ran to my dad and hugged his leg "Daddy help me!" I smiled.

He smiled back "Is mommy chasing you again?" He laughed.

"Yes!" I giggled.

Suddenly a pair of arms hugged me from behind and lifted me in to the air. I screamed and laughed as my mum carried me to the bench on our porch.

"Do you want me to play you a song?" She asked.

"Yes mommy please!" I smiled.

She took her guitar and sat next to me. 

…You are my Sunshine,

My only Sunshine.

You make me happy,

When skies are grey.

You'll never know dear,

How much I love you.

So please don't take,

My Sunshine away….

 

*end of flashback*

I jumped when suddenly my phone started to ring. I looked at it and It was Michael.

"Hey." I answered.

" Hey Rebeca…are you alright?"

I forgot I was actually crying.

"Um…yeah I'm fine." I lied.

"Well I wanted to ask you something. I know I said I will come to visit you today but I kinda forgot I already have plans…"

"Oh…don't worry It's okay."

"I have a band practice today and I was wondering If you want to come along? I still have to give you your homework."

"Wait you're in a band? That's so cool…Um yeah I suppose I could come." I said.

"Great! I'll pick you up at five."
