Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 14

Rebeca's P.O.V.

"Good morning dad!" I squealed when I entered the kitchen .

"Morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?" He smiled back and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Yes, very well." I sighed.

I decided to have some cereal as usual on Monday morning. I actually couldn't wait to go to school today, because I couldn't wait to see Michael. I was very happy since Friday and his words were constantly on repeat in my head I love you...

"Rebeca!" Dad shouted probably like 3rd time already and snapped me out of my daydreaming.

"Yeah?" I mumbled and shook my head.

"I was asking you how's Michael doing? He's probably very excited for the upcoming tour?" He chuckled.

"Oh yeah he is." I replied and my mood immediately dropped. I almost forgot that the boys are leaving soon.

"Don't be sad honey...you'll keep in touch with them I'm sure." Dad tried to comfort me.

"I hope so..." I sighed.

"Michael will." Dad winked.

"Dad!" I blushed.

"Oh honey, what did you expect? I'm your dad I know everything." He laughed.

I hope not everything...

"Well.."

"You like him..It's pretty obvious"

"No dad...It's something stronger.." I mumbled and covered my face with my hands in embarrassment.

"Oh my baby is in love!" Dad squealed and hugged me.

"God this is so awkward." I mumbled into his chest.

"No It's not! This is very nice. Love is beautiful. I loved your mom and she was the most amazing person on the Planet." He chuckled. 

I smiled with him and sighed. "Well yeah..but Michael is leaving so.." 

"Oh." Dad breathed and made that 'thinking face' he always does when he's thinking about something. 

"Yeah.." I sighed and started to clean up the table. It got a bit too quiet so dad cleared his throat and smiled to me. 

"We still have some time, so why don't you sit down here with me and tell me more about the tour?" 

-

"Hey youuu!" Sophie greeted me in the middle of the school hallway.

"Hey!" I greeted her back and gave her a big hug.

"Where are the boys?" I asked her. We were supposed to be meeting here today because they had to do some 'banding' this morning.

"Eager are we?" Sophie chuckled and winked.

"Hm...do I hear you talking?" I replied and we both laughed.

"Hey Rebeca." I heard somebody said behind me. I turned around and saw Jake.

"Oh hello Jake." I smiled to him and gave him a hug. "How are you?"

" Very well, thank you...um I was wondering If you'd like to grab lunch with me today at the cafeteria." He smiled to me and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh..um that's very sweet of you-" I tried to reply.

"She can't! She's already having lunch with me and her BOYFRIEND." Sophie cut me off and put on that fake smile she uses only when she's annoyed.
