My Baby Daddy || Michael Clifford

Chapter 24

*Harley's P.O.V*

"Hey Harls?" Michael yelled from the stage. The boys were currently rehearsing for their first show. Which is tonight.

"Yeah?" I called back, uninterested, I was busy reading a book on my kindle.

"Go get the first aider, Calum's done something so his hand" He yelled

I looked up from the screen to where all the boys were crowded round a dramatic Calum. Sighing and rolling my eyes I went to go find her in another room.

"Uh hi. Calum's hurt his hand" I said awkwardly. I'm not a highly social person, what do I do in these situations? The lady who was sat at a computer got up and grabbed a green first aid bag. Sighing dramatically, without speaking, she followed me back to the rehearsal room.

"What happened?" The imtocooltointroducemyself first aider asked the boys as she walked over to them.

Rolling my eyes, I sat back down and read my book as Luke explained what happened.

"Harls" A voice snapped me out of my reading trance. I looked up, and to my surprise it was Niall.

"Ni? What you doing here? Aren't you and the boys meant to be rehearsing in the other studio room?" I asked confused

"We've finished for lunch. You coming?" He asked, raising a eyebrow at me

"But Michael and the others aren't done yet?" I asked more of a question. I looked over at Michael who was tuning his guitar, whilst talking to Ashton who was sat on his drum stall.

"They're going to be another half an hour" Niall shrugged "C'mon, it'll be like the old days. Me, you, and a good ole Nandos" he grinned

I smiled in response and nodded "Sure thang girlfriend". He chuckled and took my hand, leading me out of the room. Not in a romantic way, but in a best friend way.

As we walked down the cobbled walk way we made small conversation.

"So, how are you and mike?" Niall asked curiously

"We're good" I smiled happily "Good good. What bout you? How've you been?"

"Me? I've been with the boys most of the time, writing music for the next album-"

"Next album? Oh c'mon, your now only on tour for your third" I said gobsmacked. Damn these boys work fast.

"Haha. Yeah. Album number four. We've got a few songs we've recorded already, but we're still writing the rest" He smiled. I nodded.

We ended up going to McDonalds because Nandos was closed. Cries. After we ate we walked back to the studio, passing a few fans along the way.

When we got inside Niall went back to the recording room with the rest of One Direction, whilst I went to 5SOS'.

"Sup boys" I yelled as I walked in and sat down on the comfy leather couch. They all looked over at me, rolling their eyes, apart from Michael. He walked over to me whilst the other three continued to talk.

"What?" I asked curiously as he sat down beside me.

"Where'd you go?" He pouted.

"Niall and I went to McDonalds" I yawned tiredly.

"Oh. Thanks" He said sarcastically "I'm not hungry, don't worry. I'm fineeeee"

"Oh shut up you melon" I playfully pushed his shoulder.

"Melon?" He asked me, looking at me weirdly

"Oh I don't know" I huffed. "Go away and sing or something" I pushed him off of the sofa, him landing on his fat ass.

"Eyyyy" He whined "That hurt"

"Get over it" I mumbled and looked down at his phone which was in my hand.

He got up and walked I've to the boys, ignoring the fact that I was scrolling through his photos and on his twitter.

"Ok what song?" Calum spoke through the microphone, talking to the others.

"Do that one Michael sent to me over Skype. The newest one he wrote" The producer said. I looked up as Michael nodded.

"Oh right, I know which one yah mean" Ashton smirked and started drumming

I sat watching them, smiling as I did so.

"Within a minute I was all packed up
I've got a ticket to another world
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
The silent words are hard to speak
When your thoughts are all I see
Don't ever leave, she said to me"

I nodded my head along, tapping my foot as Calum sang.

"When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky.
To the beat of our hearts at the same time.
So close but so far away." Luke looked over at Michael and winked at him.

"Can you hear him?" Calum smirked as he sang. What are these boys doing? Why are they looking at each other and smirking?

Michael looked over at Luke again, Luke looked over as well. Nodding and smirking at him, Michael started singing.

"She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was your husbanddd.
She lies awake.
I'm trying to find the words to say.
I wish I was, I wish I was your husband" As Michael sang those lyrics he made eye contact with me. He wasn't smirking like Luke and Calum, and he wasn't nodding his head along like Ashton. He was staring at me worriedly.

What - wait? DID HE JUST PROPOSE? Or does he wish in the future to get married? I'm pretty sure it was the first one. I hope. Luke took over singing the next part as Michael walked over to me, his guitar hanging onto his body from his shoulders.

Walking over to me, he grabbed my hands. Luke and Calum continued to sing and play whilst Ashton drummed.

"Harley?" Michael whispered, looking down at me. I looked up at him, breathing heavily, as tears welled up in my eyes.

"Mmmmm" I sang, unable to form any words.

"I - I love you lots. I rea - really do. I know we're young bu - but we're already parents. And I, uhm, will you uh" He scratched the back of his neck "W-will you m-marry me?"

I smiled brightly, cupping his cheeks with my hands-

"No"
