Carly's POV
Calum dropped me off at my house about an hour ago and now I'm sitting in my room struggling to keep my eyes open. I had such an amazing night and I guess it just wore me out. I get up and sluggishly walk over to my bed. I pull the covers back and get in. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm asleep.
My eyes open, feeling a pair of arms wrapped loosely around my body. I roll over and see Michael sleeping peacefully. I prop myself up on my elbow and take a second to admire every feature on his face. I push back some of the stray hair that's on his face and start seeing his eyes flutter open.
"Good morning idiot."
"Morning weirdo." I put my hands on his cheek and stare into his beautiful green eyes before planting a soft kiss on his lips. When I pull away, I see a smile form on his lips. "I love you."
"I love you too." He snakes his arm around my neck and I feel chills run up my spine. Words can't describe how he makes me feel and they could never describe the way I love him. He starts playing with my hair and looking me in the eyes as he does so. He's always been so gentle with me and I couldn't ever ask for a better person.
"Can you believe that in a few days, we'll be starting our last year of high school?"
"I really can't. It seems like just yesterday we were starting it."
"And it feels like just yesterday I met you." I feel my face heat up. He takes his arm away from my neck and places his hand on my cheek. "Everyday that I'm with you feels like a new adventure. I know what I want and I know that I want you. You're my everything Carly and I can't live without you and I don't even want to think of living without you. You changed me into the person I am today and I couldn't be more grateful for that. I-"
"I'm not sure why this is scaring me." He takes his hand off my face and sits up. I slowly sit up as well and he grabs my hands.
"You have nothing to be scared of Carly. I'm not going anywhere and I know you aren't either." He let goes of my hands and starts getting up. He then disappears, but soon pops back up. He gets back in the bed and I see a small black box in his hand. "You don't have to be scared because you're the one that I want to marry." I put my hand over my mouth as he opens the box. I stare that the ring that's in front of my face. I look back up at him and see the shine in his eyes.
"I want to marry you too." I say as I take the ring out of the box and slide it on my finger. He smiles and pulls my into a kiss. As out kiss gets more heated, we both hear his phone ring. He pulls away and groans as he goes to reach for it. When he grabs it he turns back to me.
"It's Luke, but I can answer it later."
"No, don't. They probably need you."
"They might." I see him press the decline button.
"Michael." He rolls his eyes in a playful way and presses his lips to mine.
"I'd rather do this instead." He lightly pushes my body down onto the bed and starts to kiss me. He moves down to my neck and starts kissing and sucking on my neck. I already know that I'm going to have marks after he's done. I hear his phone ringing again and he stops and lays on top of me. He grabs his phone and finally answers Luke. "What could you possibly need right now Luke?" I'm close enough to the phone that I can hear what Luke is saying.
"We need you to come by my house. Ash just flew in and he has a bunch of ideas."
"Can this wait? Carly and I-"
"It can't. You can bring her with you if you want, but we need to finish this album before the school year starts."
"Ugh fine." He hangs up the phone and gives me a look. "I'm sorry love, but they need me."
"It's okay Mikey. Let's get dressed and we can go."
"You're the best." He kisses my temple and gets up. I soon follow and we both start getting dressed. Michael keeps a few pairs of clothes here for cases like this and I do the same at his house. After we get dressed, we walk downstairs and leave. My mom's working today, so that's why she wasn't there. We get in the car and I start driving. As I drive him to Luke's house so they can practice, my eyes are seemingly glued to the road while Michael is blasting All Time Low.
"Come on Carly, you've gotta lighten up."
"I'm trying to drive Mike." I say with a smile.
"Come on, just sing one song."
"I barely even know All Time Low. I only know like one song."
"And I know what song it is" I glance over to see that he's scrolling quickly through his playlist. I then hear the opening to Dear Maria Count me in I give him a goofy grin and start to sing along.
"I got you're picture, I'm coming with you-"
"Dear Maria count me in." I look at him.
"Hey! That's my part!" I say with a laugh. He looks back at the road and a look of concern washes over his face.
"Carly look out!"
My eyes shoot open and my body flies forward. I put my hand on my chest and feel my heart racing. I haven't thought or dreamt about that day in months, so why now? Why when I'm getting my crap back together does he have to come back into my life?
