The Only Reason {A Michael Clifford fanfiction}

Chapter 5

Michael's POV

I missed her. I missed having her in my arms, I missed her cute giggles when I said or did something dumb. I miss how she sends me dumb selfies of her on Snapchat with stupid captions to make me happy when I've had a shitty day. She's the first girlfriend of mine that knows immediately when I've had a bad day. I love her. Every day my love for her gets stronger.

It was times like this, when I was away from her for a long time that I realize how much she truly means to me. We're in America, and she's still in the UK. We were there doing various performances and stuff like that. I missed her more than anything. 

I was backstage after a performance, going through my mentions on twitter when a tweet caught my eyes. 'Can't believe you'd do that to @charlotteasaur. You sicken me. @Michael5SOS' Great. Groupie rumours. Just what I need. I clicked on Charlotte's twitter page and gulped as I saw the tweets. I scrolled through her tweets, gulping as I read tweets such as 'i wish you were here', 'you're the only one that can help when it gets like this,' 'i don't know how much longer i can stay strong', etc. My heart immediately broke. Shit. They were posted at 1am UK time. I looked down. "Shit.." I gulped, clicking onto send her a DM. 'I'm going to call you now. I was busy performing, please tell me you're ok. love you'

I exited twitter and went onto contacts, clicking on Charlotte's name and calling her on FaceTime. My heart was racing. I wasn't there when she needed me. She answered almost immediately, looking tired and like she had been crying. "Hey babe.." I said quietly. "I'm so sorry for not being there for you." I said quietly, my voice cracking as I spoke. She shook her head, forcing a small smile, wiping her eyes. "It's fine, I understand that you were busy." She said, smiling genuinely at me. I nodded and smiled at her. "I wish I was there with you so I could hold you.. What's the weather like?" I asked, frowning as I noticed that she was almost crying. "Babe, please don't cry. I'll start crying if you cry." I said.

As I noticed a few tears fall down her cheeks, I couldn't help but let out a choked out sob. I looked at the screen as Charlotte hid her face in the sleeves of my flannel shirt. "Is that my shirt?" I asked, winking at her, trying to lighten the mood. I had a huge smile on my face as she let out a giggle. Her giggle was music to my ears. I chewed on my lip as I thought about how to bring up the groupie rumours.

I let out a soft sigh, looking at her. "There's a few people out there making up some rumours about me..having sex with groupies. But I promise you I'd never do that to you." I said, biting my lip. "I know you'd never do that, babe." She said softly. "You're too much of a good boyfr-" she cut herself off, letting out a loud yawn. "Oh god, I'm sorry.. I'm so tired." She blushed. "Oh..yeah..it's like almost 4am there. You really need to get some sleep baby." I said softly, blowing a kiss at her. "Okay, Mikey." She beamed at him. "I love you babe." I stated, grinning at her. "I love you too, Mikey..Night." She said, placing her phone down on the bedside table.

I let out a soft laugh as I noticed she fell asleep without hanging up. "So cute.." I muttered, looking at her sleeping form, taking a screenshot before hanging up. I clicked on 'messages' and began to type out a text to her. 'Whenever you feel low, or sad please remember that I love you so much and you're mine. Nothing is ever going to change that. I miss you so much. I hate being away from you, I really fucking hate it. Don't you dare hurt yourself when I'm not there. I'll  be back in the UK soon, and if I can't be I will fly you out here. I love you so much babe and I'll see you soon. When we next FaceTime we should sing to each other. I'd really like that and I think you would too. I love you so much and I hope you enjoy reading this cheesy as fuck message when you wake up. Love you munchkin. ' I sent the text and put my phone back in my jeans pocket, letting out a content sigh as I laid down on the sofa, waiting for all the other guys to come in.

When they all walked in, they noticed that I seemed down and began asking me about twenty billion questions all at once. "I'm fine. Charlotte was in one of her really shitty moods again and I managed to cheer her up..but I just really wish I was there to cheer her up." I muttered, shrugging my shoulders. "I just wanna go back to the hotel and sleep now." I stated, standing up, heading out of the room, the guys all following behind me. I stopped for a moment and turned around. "What were you all talking about before you came in, because I heard you guys all talking." I said, shoving my hands in my pockets.

"We were all discussing how we think that we should fly our girlfriends out here.. We all miss them so much and they miss us too. So we've decided to fly them out here at 10am UK time and go pick them up from JFK international airport when they arrive. The tickets are already booked and paid for, so it's all sorted out." Calum said, grinning. "Yeah. Perfect, but..we'll need to tell them and they'll all be asleep." I muttered. "Well, we actually told Julia, Caitlin and Lois earlier..and they'll probably tell Charlotte when she gets up. I know they told her that they were all going on a holiday and Charlotte started packing, but she probably has no clue they're coming to see us!" Ashton shouted.

I immediately turned to face them all, hugging them tightly. "Thank you guys." I said, trying my hardest not to cry and let my emotions get the better of me in front of them. "You guys are the best. I fucking love this band so much." I said, pulling out of the hug, a enormous grin on my lips. I wasn't lying when I said I loved this band. They're the best band mates and friends I could have ever asked for.
