Sting :||: Michael Clifford

I can hardly breathe

Michael's POV

I sit in my bedroom and nervously wait for Carly to get here. I hear a knock on my bedroom door and quickly open it to see her standing there. I let her in and shut the door after she walks in. 

"Mike, what' going-"

"I remember something about us."

"What do you remember?" She asks as she sits down on my bed.

"It's nothing big, but I know that it's important. Do you remember that bracelet you got me for my birthday?"

"Yeah, the one with the guitar on it?"

"Yeah that one. Well, it was in my suitcase and when I saw it, I remembered the day you gave it to me."

"So why did you need me over to tell me that?" She asks as she stands up. 

"Because I think I'm finally starting to remember you."

"Michael, it's just one memory. I have all of them and out of all of them, that one is probably the least loving. You only remember it because you saw the bracelet. Do you even remember how you felt that day?"

"No but-"

"Then it's nothing Mike and it shouldn't be anything." She goes to walk away, but I grab her arm. 

"I remember that you kissed me that day."

"Mike I-"

"Would it really kill you if we kissed?" She looks down at the floor, but I tilt her head up. I move closer to her and press my lips lightly to hers. She pulls away, but I pull her closer. "Just one more taste of you my love." She wraps her arms around my neck and our kiss gets more intense. I've never felt what I'm feeling right now with Rose and I bet she's never felt this way with Calum either. She pushes me down onto the bed and I flip us over so I'm on top. I break away the kiss to take my shirt off. She sits up enough so she can take hers off. I take a second to admire her body before she pulls me into another kiss. It feels like her and I are the only two people on this earth right now and I never want it to end. She runs her hands through the back of my hair as we kiss and I feel chills go up my spine. (A/N: That's it for that. Again for the millionth time, I don't write smut. If you want that then go somewhere else.) 

After everything that happened, we fall asleep and I make sure to hold her close. I don't want this feeling to go away, and I have a feeling she doesn't either. It hurts that I can't remember what her and I had, but I know that if it felt this good, then it had to have been something special. She was depressed for the longest time and then Calum- Oh my god, what did we just do?

Carly's POV

I wake up wrapped in the arms of Michael. I carefully get up and start getting dressed. I walk out of his room and he doesn't even know that I left. I'm so happy that his mom isn't home and his dad is working or I'd be so fucked. I cannot believe I just has sex with him and cheated on Calum. Oh my god, Calum. He didn't even cross my mind until now. I quickly shake out my thoughts and get into my car. I drive back home and when I get there, I see my mom sitting on the couch watching some TV show that I could careless about. 

"Hey honey, where were you?" She asks as I shut the door.

"I was with-with Calum." I lie.

"Okay, well head up to you room and do your homework."

"Okay, I will." I smile and l head up the stairs. I walk into my room and set my phone on my desk. I sit down on my bed and run my hands through my hair. What did I do? Why did I have to go and fuck everything up? I hear my phone ringing and so I walk over to it. I pick it up and see that's it's Michael. I decline the call, but he keeps calling. I decide to mute my phone and head into the bathroom so I can wash my mistake away. I can't believe I just cheated on my boyfriend with my best friend's boyfriend. What kind of friend am I for doing something that stupid? What kind of girlfriend am I? I said I would never cheat, yet here I am.  

After my shower, I head back into my room and start doing my homework. After I finish that, I look at my phone and see the many missed calls and texts from Michael. I ignore them all and then I see a text from Cal, making my heart sink in my chest.

CA: Goodnight love, hope you sleep well and sweet dreams. I'll be over tomorrow so we can spend some time together. I love you.

I feel my eyes swell with tears. If I tell him what I did, I'm going to break his heart, but if I don't, then I'd just be lying to him. I can't keep something like this from him, but I also can't risk hurting him. I decide to sleep it off, I mean how much worse could this all possibly get? 

When I wake up, I get dressed and head downstairs, making sure to grab my phone as I leave my room. I feel just as awful as I did last night. I see a not on the coffee table from my mom. 

Hey honey, sorry I couldn't be there to make you breakfast, I had to pick up an extra shift. Love you and I'll be home later XXX

I set the note back down and look at the messages on my phone. I see that I have a crap load from Michael and some from Calum. I sit down on the couch and I scroll through Netflix for something to watch, that's when I hear a knock at my door. I open it and there stands Michael.
