Young Memories

Chapter 5- 3 Months To Go.

*Ben's POV*

I couldn't bring myself to tell Eloise about the band. I have just moved out of Petworth. And am now in the apartment with the boys. I have changed my number and told my family to not tell Eloise where I am or to give her my number. I know it's the cowardly way out of things, but I just can't face her and George said we needed to be single to be in the band. I just can't help but feel sorry for El in all this. She must hate me. She will never want to see me again. What am I going to do if I go home to see mum, dad and Jonny and I see her... She will go spare and will actually freak. I can't go through that.

"Ben! Hurry the fuck up! We need to record our cover!" The typical goody two shoes Irish accent calls up the stairs! Typical Michael always on time for the covers! Hahaha! Aw no he is cute. I love him and I barely know him. I love Dan too but speaking of Dan I better wake him he is probably still sleeping!

"DAN OH MY GOD LOOK! MICHAEL CLIFFORD JUST FOLLOWED YOU!" I shout in his ear. He quickly moves out bed and grabs his phone rushing. He is moving sosososososo fast!

"WHAT! Oh my god! I can't breath Ben! Michael fucking Clifford followed me!... Wait a minute, no he didn't.... Ben for fuck sakes don't do that! Man! I had a heart attack!"

"Hahahaha it got you up though! Now c'mon we are about to record the new cover today!"

*** couple of months pass***

~Eloise's POV~

It's now near Christmas and I haven't heard from Ben since his birthday in August. He has just... Disappeared... His mum said she can't tell me where he is and every time in ring him, his phone is off. He is never on Facebook anymore and has deleted his twitter account. At first I was worried but now... I don't care anymore he obviously didn't love me as much as he said. Because if he really did would he have ran away or whatever it is he has done?

I'm lucky I have found Michael. He is from Belfast and is turning 17 in April. He is so lovely! We have made an agreement that on my 18th birthday in March next year that I will fly to Ireland to finally meet Michael. We are so close. I wouldn't go as far to say that he has replaced Ben as my Bestfriend because no one could EVER replace Ben, but he is very special to me. Me and Michael talk practically 24/7. He knows more about me than I do about myself. I just can't wait 3 more months to see him. He said he's rarely in Belfast as he is in a band, he wouldn't give me the name, but they're getting big. He sends me all the links to get they're latest singles and sends snippets of songs from his album. I am so proud of him. This has been his dream since he was 12. He's now 17.

•Michael's POV•

I have been talking to Eloise just before the band has started. She told me about her friend called Ben. Little did I know that 'Ben' was my Ben! I can't tell her the name of the band as she'll search us and get photos and then see Ben is in the band. Ben rarely talks of her but he hints about things that happened. I know everything about him and her and I can't believe he just... Ran off and didnt tell her and didnt give her any way to contact him and that he changed his number!? El is a lovely girl.

A/N- just a bit of part 5 😘

*still Mikes POV *

I just don't understand why Ben would just up and leave. He didn't tell Eloise or give her an explanation. I can't ask Ben why because he doesn't know I know about El or him and her for that matter. All me and Dan are meant to know is that he had a really good friend called El, and they ended on bad terms. That's all Dan knows but I know everything, from when Eloise sprained her ankle to the kiss to the 14th birthday party, and most importantly when they admitted they loved each other.

I decided to FaceTime Eloise.

*on FaceTime*

'Hiya El! So good to finally see you! Well yanno what I mean!'

'Haha yeah, you too Michael, hope you're having fun with the band! Bet you can't wait to get back home to Belfast?' She asks.

'Yeah you could say I'm having fun! And I really just want a cuddle from my mum! And to hold Miley in my arms and take her on a walk to the park!' I say trying not to get emotional.

'I know how much your family mean to you Mike, it's ok and Miley as well. She's lucky you took her in! You're a lovely boy Michael, don't let anyone tell you different!' She says blowing a kiss at the end.

'I won't you're special El! Like really special, I don't want to loose you'

'I have heard that all before mike, and I lost him. More so he lost me because I will never go back to him. I will never ever speak a word to him. I can't stand the thought of him!' She says, she starts to cry and then hangs up.

Ben clearly meant the world to her! I feel so bad that I know Ben and she doesn't know that in so close with him. If I tell her I know him, she'll think I lied to her. She'll never speak to me again. Just like Ben. I can't. I need Eloise in my life. I need her there to talk to. She's always, always here for me, whenever I need her, I just have to text her.

~Eloise's POV~

I hate to say but I really think I have fallen for Michael... I don't know for sure how I feel obviously because I have never met him, but I do know for sure he is special. His accent is just... On point! And his eyebrows and his skin and his eyes... Everything he is just so prefect. He has no flaws.

"El come here for a minute!" Mum shouts shouts up the stairs. I wonder what she could want...

"Yeah mum?"

"Grab your bag, and your coat."

"Eh why? I'm not ready I have no makeup or anything on!" I say puzzled.

"C'mon we are going shopping in Redhill, no one you know is gunna be there so it's fine!" She says and pushes me out the front door and into the car. It takes an hour to drive there and we go into a Starbucks because mum wants a latte. I look around and spot a Disney store.

"Mum can we go into the Disney store across the road?" I ask giving her my old puppy dog eyes. She as usual gives in and we head over. I have a look around and am over by 'The Muppets' section when out of the corner of my eye I see a minion toy. In fact it's a whole section filled with minions! If only Michael was here!

"But George please! Just one more minion please! I have my own money, I can pay for it!" I hear a voice say, I know it from somewhere it couldn't be... Wait a minute where did Michael say the bands apartment was... Oh my god...
