Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 20

Rebeca's P.O.V.

Today was the day. That stupid day that I never really looked forward to. The boys were leaving Australia today for a few months. I'm gonna miss them all...especially Michael. Things won't be the same around here without them. They will become a huge superstars and they'll have a career. Saying goodbye was never easy, but It should be If you know It's coming. That's fair If you ask me...at least something that was fair from life. I actually had time to prepare myself for that. I count this as a loss even tough I know It isn't. Michael kept reminding me about that every day. I'll still have him and I know I can trust him, I really do. It's Alice who I don't trust. I actually don't even know the girl, but I sure know she's a bitch since she was hitting on my boyfriend like crazy.

-

I hate airports...did I mention that before? I haven't been here since I moved to Australia. We've just arrived here and I'm already feeling uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Michael asked me when we went inside.

"Yeah..." I shrugged and he glared at me. "Okay no!" I snapped.

"Why?" He asked me and looked into my eyes. Here we go again. I can't lie to him and he knows me too damn well to see I'm not okay.

"Airports make me feel uncomfortable." And that was all I needed to say. He understood what I meant and nooded. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him.

"It's okay." He whispered to me and kissed my head.

I know It's okay...and that everything will be okay.

I turned and looked around the place. It was crowded with people and paparazi. Sophie was in the middle of a conversation with Luke while Cal and Ash were talking with their parents. 

I looked towards the exit and a perfectly straightened black hair catched my eye. It was Alice and next to her was probably her father. She wore too much make up and her top was definitely too short and her high waisted denim shorts were too tight. I groaned in frustration and stepped closer to Michael. He wrapped both of his arms around me from behind and rested his chin on top of my head. He glared at Alice as she approached us with her father.

"Hello guys!" She cheekily greeted.

"Hey." Michael mumbled and his grip around my waist tightened. Now I actually had a chance to look at Alice more closely. She had a beautiful face but she was ruining everything with too much makeup. I decided to play nice and just went along.

"Hello, we never got properly introduced to eachother did we?" I shot her a fake smile and offered her my hand to shake. "I'm Rebeca, Michael's girlfriend." I smiled.

She took my hand and returned a fake smile. "Oh I finally got a chance to meet you! I'm Alice. I heard so much about you!"

She caught me unprepared with that statement and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"You did?" I asked her and she nooded and looked at Michael. I looked at him as well and he was glaring at Alice.

"Alice hey!" Ashton called her. She looked at him and smiled.

"Now If you excuse me, I'll got and greet the rest of the gang." She stated and shot me one more fake smile before she turned around and left.

"What was that?" I spun around and faced Michael.

"God I hate her I swear!" Michael muttered.

"So you were telling her about me?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "When did you have time to do that?" I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him.

"That's the point! I didn't. See I told you she was mean...she just met you and she already lied to your face." He groaned.

"Really?" I pushed. I belived him but he's cute when he's trying to prove his point.

"Yes, and...Oh I know what you're doing!" He laughed and I laughed with him.

"Don't do that babe! You are freaking me out." He stated and I nooded and wrapped my arms around him.

"I know babe." I mimicked him and he chuckled.

-

"Well guys It's time to go." The manager said and my heart sank.  

The boys said goodbye to their families and then turned to me and Sophie.

"Byeee Becky!!" Ash smiled to me and hugged me really tight.

"I'll miss you Ash." I mumbled and hugged him back.

"Don't do anything stupid while we're gone okay?" Calum chuckeled and I hugged him. "I'll try."

"Good bye Rebeca." Luke hugged me and I pinched his nose. "Bye Luke..I'll take care for your Sophie."

"Oh you better be!" He laughed.

I turned and looked at Michael. His face expression was dead serious and my heart was breaking to see him like this. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. I couldn't hold back my tears which were now rolling down my cheeks.

"I love you, don't forget that!" He said to me and I nooded.

"I'll call you on skype when we arrive in London okay?" He said and cupped my cheeks.

"Okay. It's okay, we'll be okay, okay?" I said to him with a shaky voice. He nooded and I hugged him again, very tightly. I let that moment to sink in. I want to remember this. Me and him Forever.

We broke apart and he gave me a small wave before they all started to walk away. There were screaming fans around and a bunch of annoying photographers. It was really loud but I couldn't hear a thing. There I was, watching Michael walking away. I hated that empty feeling that was creeping in to my stomach. 

Michael!" I practically screamed.

He turned around and I started running towards him. He dropped his bags and opened his arms for me. I jumped in his arms and kissed him. I let my emotions flow trough the kiss. He was holdng me tightly and I locked my arms around his neck.

We broke apart after a few moments with our foreheads still touching.

"You forgot something." I smiled and he chuckled.

"Yes I did." 

"I'll be waiting for your call." I said and pecked his lips.

"Oh I wouldn't miss that." He said and started to walk backwards. He had a cheeky smile on his face and I could already see it coming: 

"You are my icberg remember?" He grinned and winked.

I froze and stood there in embarrassment. My face was probably red like a tomato.

"Oh...you...Clifford!" I snapped and he laughed.

"Bye!"

Hello! I actually had so much fun writting this chapter idk. It was originally meant to be sad but I think we have enough pesymizm in our lives already ;) And I also had too much time because I'm sick and I can't do anything besides lying in my bed and feel sorry for myself.

And now I would like to THANK YOU guys for a freaking 1000 reads! I love you so much and you made my day! <3

Hope you all had a great Christmas! xoxo
