Don't Stop | Michael Clifford

Chapter 11

We came out, the security giving a smile to us as we went out to where we could see the stage. Maddie started squealing like crazy. We weren't even close to the stage, but I guess it was okay.

Suddenly the sound of a song rung through the arena, and all of MSG's fangirls started screaming, Maddie holding onto my arm tightly. "For Christ sake, Maddie, you already know them."

"I've never been to their concert!" she defended, me laughing a bit at her. I recognized the song as "Don't Stop", the first one I actually listened to where I knew who they were. After the song started, Luke went up to his microphone after laughing at something with Calum.

"Hey guys," he spoke, making the whole arena scream. "I cannot believe this is happening to us, playing in Madison Square Garden, I mean, it can't get bigger." I looked over at Michael, who was smiling over at me, giving me a wink, before looking at Luke again. "I mean, we were just a couple of dorks behind a camera a few years ago. Then, becoming friends with the boys of One Direction, it suddenly went fast, and that's all because you wanted to listen to our music. So thank you." He smiled a bit, adjusting his guitar a bit, and you could see he was getting ready to play a new song. He introduced the song, but I couldn't quite hear it.

"Hey we're taking on the world

I'll take you where you wanna go

Pick you up if you fall to pieces

Let me be the one to save you

Break the plans we had before

Let's be unpredictable

Pick you up if you fall to pieces

Let me be the one to save you."

Maddie was singing along next to me, me just listening. I obviously didn't know this song enough to sing along, but I did recognize it.

"So," Michael was the next to say something after a few songs. He was playing a bit with his ear snail, looking over at me as they all screamed. "We're away from home a lot. Even when we're at our homes, we're not even at home where we were born. We started with moving to London a few years back, and just recently moved to New York. We don't see our parents that often. But I think I can talk for any of these boys when I saw that we love what we're doing and could not be any more grateful for what you guys have done for us. We've made some great friends," he spoke, looking over at Maddie and I. "This is Long Way Home."

"You guys rocked," I speak, Michael coming over, swinging me around, he was clearly hyper from what they just did. I mean, playing at MSG was as big as it could get, pretty much.

"Thanks." Michael was still smiling as he set me down, both of us almost tripping. "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE JUST DID THAT!" He was laughing, jumping around, me grabbing his hand to calm him down a bit.

"Calm down," I laugh, him taking a deep breath.

"I'm calm."

"No you're not."

"I really am not." I laugh, grabbing his neck, pulling him down, pressing my lips to his. As I disconnect our lips, he seemed somehow enchanted, me laughing. "That so did not help."

"I just wanted to do it."

"Okay, and I want to do this," he speaks, pressing his lips harshly against mine, probably trying to use his energy on it. We ended up pulling away because of the need of air.

"Wow," I say, starting to giggle uncontrollably.

"Keep it PG, please," I then hear Ashton's voice say. We both turn our heads to look at the three guys and the girl with the same grossed expression in their faces. That just makes me laugh, as I bury my face in Michael's chest. "'Cause that was way too gross.
