Friends.Just Friends.(Michael Clifford.)

Chapter 6.

I got the bus home and then opened the front door to our flat.Declan was there with his girlfriend and Brogan was there as well.I walked into my room and set down my bag.I was sitting on my bed,staring at a white wall when there was a knock .I turned my head around to the door and saw Brogan.

"Hey,"he said.I nodded,

"Hi."

He walked over to me and sat beside me,putting his arm around my shoulder.I sighed and put my head on his shoulder.He had always been my best friend in the U.K. and we told each other everything.Whether it was current crushes (his was Nic Jonas) or books (TFIOS),we talked about everything.

"You miss him already?"he asked.I nodded.

"Yeah.I don't why though.I mean,we both knew it was never gonna go anywhere,"I mumbled.He pulled me closer.

"Aw babes,"he said.I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek and he pulled me in for a hug,like the way Mike had.I started to cry into his chest.He rubbed my back as I did so.After a while,I lifted my head and looked at the clock.It was four and I had to be at the club around eight.

"Brogan,I gotta get ready,"I said,getting up.He shook his head.

"You're not going into work today,babes.Some dude called Jason's going in,"he told me,pulling me down again.I cried into his shoulder again.It was good to have a best friend like Brogan.He let me cry for another little while and then I got up

"I have to erase him from my life,Brogan,"I mumbled,going over to my phone.I didn't know why it was hurting me like that.And then it hit me.

I loved him.

I fucking loved him.

*fast forward six months*

I smiled as the crowd moved with the beat blaring from the speakers.I looked out to the crowd and saw everyone dancing and swaying.

I was the happiest I had ever been in my life.I was travelling the world with Brogan and his boyfriend,Troye.We were in Australia and I was spinning tracks for the New Years Eve party on Bondi.I looked out for some of my friends I had met backstage and then saw him.

Michael.

Michael Clifford.

I smiled as I had finished my set.I walked off the large stage and walked down the steps to the left,running over to him before he left.I got to him and then tapped him on the shoulder.He was looking at the stage with a smile on his face.When I tapped his shoulder,he turned around and his smile grew bigger.

"Iris,hey!"he exclaimed,his hands hooking around my waist.He lifted me up as I put my hands around his neck and giggled,as my legs swung off the ground.

"How are you?"he asked as he set me down.I smiled.

"I'm really,really good.What about you?"I asked him.He smiled,his eyes looking in mine.

"I missed you a lot.But I'm good."

I gave him a hug,wrapping my arms around his torso.He hugged me back,my small figure moulding into his large one.

"Wanna go for a drink or something?"he asked,pulling away.I giggled,biting my lip.

"I'm still underage,Mike."

He giggled as well and the crowd surged forward.He caught my hand before I went anywhere and pulled me closer to him.

"What about like,a Coke?"he asked.I nodded and we walked off the beach and down some streets.As he held my hand,he rubbed the back of it in a kind gesture.It sent shivers up my spine and it made me smile.We talked about tours and life and friends.He told me the guys were fine.

"Michael!"I heard coming from behind us.He let go of my hand and turned around.There were some fans.He took the pictures and one came up to me.

"Can I have a picture?"she asked.I smiled.I was never asked for pictures before.

"Yeah,course."

I took one with the redhead and one with the blondie and then they scampered off,giggling.We continued to walk and we ended up in front of some resturaunt.We walked in and got some drinks.I asked him where the other guys were.

"At home with their families.My parents are gone to my aunts house,so I decided to come to Bondi and then,I saw you,"he mumbled.I grinned and sipped on my drink.

"What are you doing in Australia anyways?"he asked me.I laughed.

"I'm just here for the festival,I suppose.The scenery,the people.We're going to New Zealand next week for a road trip,but I can't drive yet,so Troye's going to and..yeah,"I uttered.He smiled.

"I'm guessing Brogan's going with you?"he guessed.I nodded.

"Yeah.How'd you know Brogan?"

"He came up to me when you were halfway through your set and introduced himself as your best friend,"he said.I laughed once more.We drank our drinks all at once,we heard people shouting numbers.

"It must be almost New Years,"I muttered to myself.Mike took my hand and ran outside,dragging me with him.

"5....4.....3....2...1!HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

I smiled at him as he exclaimed it.He leaned down and pressed a kiss to my forehead.I smiled again and then it hit me.

i wasn''t suppose to be there.we were just friends.Just Friends.
