Imperfections (Michael Clifford)

-Lilly's P.O.V.-

I ran over to Ashton, making sure he was okay.

"What the hell happened?" I asked him.

"You don't need to worry about it." He said quietly.

"Are you okay?" I questioned him, looking at his bloody nose.

Suddenly there was a loud thud and a shriek coming from inside the house.

I looked at Calum, then Ashton, then Luke.

"I should go see if he's okay." I said

"No!" Ashton said with concern. "He's gonna hurt you. You don't know what he is capable of." He said to me.

"I have to." I said.

"Please, just be careful." He whispered.

I nodded and got up, walking away.

I walked in the door and didn't hear a single sound.

"Michael?" I said.

I walked down the hall and heard heavy breathing.

"Michael?" I said stopping at the bathroom door. "Please let me in."

"I hurt you." He whispered.

"Just let me in."

He didn't say anything so I went to my moms room and grabbed the key to unlock the bathroom door.

I coughed to cover up the sound of me unlocking the door. I opened it up to see Michael on the floor crying. I went to him as fast as I could and hugged him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He looked me in the eye "I hurt you. I've liked you for so long and all I want to do is take care of you, but I hurt you."

"No, you didn't Michael."

He had a cut that was bleeding on his forehead.

"Let's clean that up." I said

He wiped his tears and sat on the toilet.

-Calum's P.O.V.-

I helped Ashton up and we walked inside, Ashton was tense, scared of what he might see. "Sit down." I told Ashton.

He gave me a look that told me to shut up, so I did and I let him walk around. He didn't say anything but I knew he was looking for Lilly.

"Ow!" I heard Michael yelp.

We all headed towards the bathroom to see Lilly cleaning a cut on Michael's head.

"Oh, hi." She said when she saw us.

"Can I talk to Michael...alone?" Ashton suddenly asked.

Lilly looked at Michael. "She can stay." He said. Ashton shot me and Luke a look and we left.

-Michael's P.O.V.-

"What is it?" I asked trying to ignore the shooting pain through my forehead.

"I'm sorry." He said plainly."I shouldn't have been bothered by... You know."

"No, it's my fault. I threw the first punch." Lilly froze for a second when I said this.
