The Exchange (Michael Clifford Fanfic)

Chapter 55

hey babes, me again. so i decided to double update. enjoy. 

I enjoyed every part of his being. We had to enjoy our time together. I literally felt my heart skip three beats when imagined leaving him. I would be on a flight for 17 hours traveling away from him. I just couldn’t fathom the heartbreak. I couldn’t contain the countdown in my head. I mean it was 122 days. Not long at all…

 Not long at all… I told myself repeatedly. 122 days with Michael.

“Want to swim?” He asks ripping his shirt off. “Not like you’d give me a choice.” I say sarcastically. He turns around and smirks at me. I’m gonna miss that smirk, I thought and suddenly I felt my throat close. He walks over to me and puts his arms around me. I didn’t even realize I was crying. “What’s wrong?” He says pulling away and grabbing the side of my neck with both hands. He rubs up and down along my neck to calm me down. “I just… I’m going to miss you when I have to leave.” I sob.

 He looks away angry, pissed off, and almost confused. I think Michael forgot that this whole time I was his exchange student. “What. Are. You. Talking. About?” He speaks slowly still looking away. “I was talking abou-…”

 "I’m going with you.” He says still looking away. “Michael you can’t..” I say trying to stop the tears from leaving my eyes. “Why can’t I go with you.” He says looking me in the eyes. “Because I don’t want you too. I want you, but you can’t leave your family to be with you girlfriend.” I sob harder. I was madly in love. But neither of our parents would move to another country to be with their boyfriend or girlfriend. I mean come on. I was sad but it was unrealistic.

 “Okay, so when you leave that’s it?” He says with a weak smile forming on his face, but it was more of a sad look though. “I don’t know babe.” I say kissing him. “Let’s just not think about it?” I say grabbing his chin. “Okay…” He say smiling. He picks me up and lifts me up bridal style and kisses me on the forehead. “I love you.” I say. “I know!” He says throwing me into the water.

 MARIAS POV

Unknown: Hello love     (11:00pm)

 Me: Who is this?     (11:13pm)

 I look down at my phone and see random tesxts from an unknown number? “Calum?” I try to get my boyfriends attention. “Yeah?” He says not taking his attention away from the screen. “Whats this number?” I put the phone to his face. “Oh that’s Ashton? What does he want.” And my heart fucking sank. “Oh he just said hi…” I lie. Shit.

 Ashton: You didn’t save my number babe.     (11:15pm)

 Me: oh sorry, what do you want?      (11:37pm)

 Ashton: I’m coming over.     (11:42pm)

 Me: Im not home….     (11:57pm)

 Ashton: Go home then     (11:59pm)

 Me: no.. Im with calum      (12:01am)

 Ashton: go home, im about to call him.     (12:07pm)

 Me: oh my god, ugh fine.     (12:08pm)

I have to go home, this fucker was trying to threaten me. “Babe, I’m gonna go home. Its Sunday and I have class in the morning.”  I say sitting behind him and placing my head on his back. “Okay, bye baby.” He says turning around. He places a kiss on my lips and I breathe in and out.

 I walk into my dorm and see Ashton sitting on my bed. “What the hell.” I say quietly. “You could get into anyone room if you say that you’re their half brother.” He says getting up and smirking. “You lied?” I say stepping back. “Yeah?” He says smiling.

 “What do you want to do?” He says sitting back down. “Ashton, you have to leave… I’m going to shower and go to bed.” I say looking through my clothes. “You do your thing I’ll just sit here.” He says. “Ugh fine.” I huff and carry my stuff to the bathroom.

I shower and try to wash my hair quickly. I step out into the cold air and see that I don’t have any panties in here. I scramble around looking through my clothes on the ground. “Oh shit.” I say. “Umm, Ashton can you grab me a pair of panties.” I say opening the door. “No, come get it yourself.” He says and I could hear the smirk in his voice.

“Fuck you.” I say walking out of the bathroom in my towel. “Hello.” He says getting up. “Stay over there.” I gripping my towel. “And what if I don’t” He says and I push him away. As soon as I do he snatches the towel off. “Oh.” I say looking down.

Fuck.
