Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

Michael's P.O.V.

I was lying in my bed at home on Monday morning. I knew I had school but I decided to just lay there for five more minutes.

After I got up I went to my bathroom and looked myself into the mirror. My bruise was less visible but It was still there. I'll have to do a lot of explaining to guys at school.

I sighed and washed my face. I flinched when I touched my bruise when that flash back from Saturday night came to me…Rebeca standing in front of me with a smile on her face. She really is beautiful. All I could do for the last couple of days was thinking of her.  

-

I met up with Rebeca at her place and we went to school together.

"How are you feeling?" She cheerfully asked.

"Fine." I smiled to her.

"Are you excited for the gig on Friday?"

"Yeah..we've practiced for this almost every day." I chuckled.

"I could see that." She giggled. "Me and Sophie barely got you out of Ashton's garage to go to the beach with us on Saturday."

"Hah...ops" I laughed and she smiled to me.

Rebeca's P.O.V.

The bell rang and I went to my music class. I liked it as long I didn't have to do anything like singing or playing instruments. When the teacher first asked me If I play any instruments or If I sing I obviously lied and said I don't. Since my mom's death..I..I just couldn't. I felt like I was missing something when I sang. My mom always played a guitar and I was singing and when I played a guitar she was singing. Now she's gone and I can't sing or play without feeling lost and out of tune.

"So since you all need to get at least one more grade to pass this class, you'll be working on a project in pairs." our teacher said.

I glanced at Sophie but she already high fived with Luke. I sighed and felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Michael. He raised an eyebrow and nooded agaist the teacher. I smiled to him as a confirmation to work with him for this project.

"You will all make a small music preformance for the class and preformed here for us. You'll have to cooperate with each other." The teacher aded. 

What?! I can't do that...I can't sing or play...I just can't. Michael saw my face expression and put a hand on my shoulder and mouthed "We'll figure something out." He smiled.

"Thank you." I mouthed back and smiled. 

-

It was lunch time and I was sitting in a school cafeteria with my usual "gang".

"Hey, what's up with you and Luke?" I secretly whispered to Sophie who was giggling next to me.

"Um, what do you mean?" She cheekyly whispered and winked.

"Oh.my.God. Tell me everything!" I chuckled.

"Shhh not now!" she snapped. "And It's nothing!" She aded.

Yeah...nothng MY ASS!

-

I was at Michael's place after school since we had to work on our "project". I was sitting on a sofa in his bedroom while he was looking for his guitar.

"Why did you pick me as your partner? I'm not useful and you know why." I sighed.

"Well I picked you because I wanted to, so shut up and stop complaining." he smiled.
