Him. // M.C. 5SOS

Chapter 43

(A/N: I'm going to take it back a little bit to show Michael's P.O.V. and also I suggest listening to I Miss You - Blink 182)

{Michael}

"The only reason you can't keep your hands off of him is because I know you obviously can tell I love him—" Alanis screams those words and they ring through my head.

She loves me.

She really still loves me.

After everything I've done to her, she still loves me. That means I might still have a chance!

I jolt my head and look up to start to respond but all I see is the back of her. She's running away. No, she can't leave now. I still need to talk to her. "Someone's jealous." Leah says and turns to look at me as I stare back, she just smiles. Now I understand where Alanis was coming from, she's a bitch.

I just still can't get her words out of my head.

"She loves me." I whisper to myself. I see Leah look at me in my peripheral vision. I ignore her disgusted look and walk away, hearing her mumble something. I have got to find her.

I search all of the spots in this giant park, but she was no where there.

I decide to go to her house. I knock on the door and her father opens up. "Hello Mr. Cariet, is Alanis here?"
"No, I thought she went off with you?"
"Well she did, but her and Leah got into something and she left."

Why did I just tell him that? She didn't want to tell him.

Oops. I'll worry about it later.

"Oh, dang it. Thank you for letting me know."
"Yes, sir. I'm going to go find her now, see you later."

I wave and turn to go continue the search.

Wait. She's probably behind the liquor store, of course.

I start to walk that way. It's really late now, almost 10:00pm. I'm really worried about her. Since she isn't home already I imagine she's really upset. Poor baby, I hope she's okay.

I see a little curled up person behind the store, with a big black hoodie and black skinny's.

It's her.

I crouch next to her and notice she is asleep, but she is shivering.

{Alanis}

I feel a soft touch against my cold face, causing me to wake up when the warmth of their hand leaves my face. I flutter my eyes open, trying to readjust my blurry vision. I shiver from the cold air pushing against me.

Once I'm finally able to see again I noticed a wide-eyed boy with blue hair. It's Michael.

I quickly lean into him expecting his embrace, and feel him wrap his arms around me. He pulls me onto his lap and I cuddle into him.

I am so cold, I can't believe I fell asleep out here.

Michael's touch is enough to heat my entire body. He picks me up and carries me, I don't resist because I'm too cold and tired to.

We make it to his room and he sets me gently on the bed and shuts his door. I feel him lay against my back and I fall back asleep.

I wake up and check the time. It's 2:07am. This is too early for me to be living, but I am. I feel wide awake now so I lean up quietly so I don't wake up Michael.

My stomach grumbles, I'm hungry.

I silently walk into the kitchen and open his freezer. I see toaster waffles, so I pop two in the toaster.

After I add my peanut butter and syrup I sit down on the table and begin to eat.

I check the time and see it's 2:30am. I cannot believe I'm awake right now. I guess it gives me time to think, though.

What am I going to say to Michael? I basically admitted how I still feel about him at the park, and he probably wants to talk about it. I am not ready to get back together with him, if that's what he is thinking.

If he would even want to.

My thoughts are interrupted by the tall, tired boy emerging from the shadows. He has tired eyes and it's adorable.
"What the hell are you doing awake Alanis, it's 2-a fucking-clock in the morning." His voice is groggy and he sounds tired. I love it so much.
"I was hungry, and I wanted waffles."

He giggles and sits beside me. "Want some?" I offer but he declines. "You're so cute, babe."

I think he's too tired to realize it, but he just called me babe. I have butterflies in my stomach, as if it is the first time he has. It sent chills down my spine, hearing him say that to me again. My face heats up and I get a stupid smile on my face even though he probably didn't even mean it or realize he said it.

He lays his head on the seat beside him and cuddles into a ball. I stand up and toss my plate into the trash and rub his back to wake him. I grab his hand and lead him up the stairs back to bed.

I rest my head on the pillow and he lays next to me. I cuddle into his chest and we both go back to our slumber.

Maybe I do want him back?

A/N: Okay guys currently as I'm writing this authors note, it's about 2am and I'm eating waffles. I thought about how amazing it would be if Michael were to eat waffles with me. Then I thought that maybe if I made Michael do it in the book it would happen to me. It still hasn't worked but never lose hope :))

Also I'm thinking this book is going to end around chapter 50 which makes me very sad :'( ... but depending on a few things, it could end at chapter 60, but it won't go past that.

It's so sad to think of this book ending because I've been writing it for about 6 months now which is crazyyyy!!

Anyway this was just kind of a filler chapter but it still contributes to the whole thing. Be prepared for some drama next chapter ;)

Okay that's all for this authors note. Please vote and share the story ❤️

K bye xx
