epilogue

2 years later.

me and hayley have been seperated for almost a year because of slfl tour, and it's almost the end of the tour.

we're in Sidney now and i'm so ready to meet hayley.

"hansel, i'm almost there, is she awake yet?" i asked

"michael, don't you know she wakes up at 8am everyday"

"oh yeah of course, okay see ya, i'm almost there".

and i am so nervous and excited at the same time.

We finally get to hayley's house and i can't, i just can't

"calm your tits michael, prepare yourself" calum said, being a nice friend as always

"remember, the present" luke said throwing the present at me

the four of us walk into the house, we open the cake, light the '19' candle

we walk upstairs as hansel, hayley's mom and dad, calum, luke and ashton follow me and calum opening hayley's room for me, and i'm so fucking nervous

"happy birthday hayley!" we yelled

"what?" she looks at us excitingly "calum?luke?ash? and michael? what? are you even real?"

"just make a fucking wish and blow the fucking candle" i said walking one step closer to her, after she blew the candle, we all yelled as the sign of happiness.

we walk downstairs and she gives every single one of us a warm hug
"this is the best birthday ever!".

hayley walked out to the front of the house, i follow her with the gift in the back of my hand "did you love it?" i asked

she leans her shoulder to a pole made of wood "i absolutely love it michael, such a surprise" she giggles

"i miss you" i put one of my hand around her

"i miss you too michael" she leans her head on my shoulder

it was just silence until i remembered "i have a present for you" i said giving her a thing which is wrapped around a newspaper with a simple drawing of me and het on it, it's a very childish drawing but i don't even give a single shit

"what is this?" she giggles, and i give her a sign asking her to open the present,

"it's not that good" i said

she opened it "michael" she looks at me "thanks" she hugs me "it's so beautiful"

it's a mini album, filled with her old picture, and until the last picture we took "yeah, it also has a letter in it, if you wanna read it now"

"i'll read it" she said unfolding the letter

so this is what it says

Hi hayley, i wont even mind putting apostrophises so im sorry.
so first of all, happy birthday to the second most beautiful woman on earth (the first one is my mom, of course bc she has a very cool only one child) not just outside but also inside, i like that you always say my name at the end of every sentence that you say to me, whatever if it's michael or mikey i'd still appreciate it.
just dont get sick of me yet, and do not stop reading this letter yet because my face would probably be so awkward and i wanna confess something i guess.
so, basically, i know someone who's been catching feelings, i mean, likes you, you're really close to him, and you know him very well. you know him not for so long but enough for him to fall in love with you and its undeniable, he has been craving for your love because he has been away for almost a year and he misses you so fucking much.
but now the person is here, dont look now cause he is looking and, fuck all this words and fuck the distance fuck everything. will you be my girlfriend?

for goodness' sake i have been biting my bottom lip, thank God it didn't bleed

"michael?" she looks at me "you wrote this by yourself?" i nod "are you being honest?" i nod again "then tell me what do you feel"

"y-you? wa-ant me? to tell you how i-i feel?" i asked stuttering, she nods "i, ugh, okay Hayley Christy Nate, i am in love with you since the first day i saw you, because my mind told me that you are different and it's true, and i don't know i suck at words and i want to call you mine, so will you be my girlfriend?"

she smiles widely and feels like that's the only thing i want to see "yes michael, i do" i put our lips together confidently and gently

that's the first time that i look at her eyes and she's truly free and happy.
