Ends With You (A Michael Clifford FanFic)

Chapter 75

Michael's POV

Last lesson finshed, we were all making our way to the car when my phone rang, it was Matt.

" Hey I'll meet you guys in the car." I said.

" Alright." They all replied, climbing into the car.

" Hello?" I asked, answering my phone.

" Hey Michael, Your leaving for tour tomorrow night." Matt said.

" WHAT!" I yelled into the phone.

" Sorry man, but if you want to end this at the end of the year you need to go on tour A.S.A.P. and that's now. We have you scheduled already so don't try backing out." he said sternly.

" Matt I can't-

" Yes you can. I'll see you kids when you get home." He hung up....

" Fuck!" I hissed, running my hands through my hair. When I needed to protect Sarah the most I wasn't going to be here for her. I sighed and got in the car, slamming the door. The whole car went quiet as I started my car, slowly pulling out. When they realized I wasn't going to say anything conversations slowly started again.

" What's wrong babe?" Sarah whispered, putting her hand on my leg from the passenger's seat.

" I'll tell you when we get home." I sighed, holding onto her soft hands, wishing I didn't have to leave them.

When we got home I let all the others pile into the house before me and Sarah, lagging behind with her. I led her into the house, putting down our backpacks.

" We'll be back." I said, leading Sarah into an empty room, closing the door behind us.

" What is it?" she asked, she looked really worried.

" Sarah, I don't know how to say this but I have..... to leave.... on tour." I sighed, not wanting to meet her sad eyes.

" No! Michael you can't leave." she said, the tears coming through her voice.

" Sarah I have to, Matt is forcing me. Believe me, I don't want to I know I have to protect you from James right now. But I just..... I don't know what to do." I sighed.

" Who's going to protect me!?" she cried, running into my arms.

" Shh it'll all be okay. I promise." I assured her, I wasn't sure if that promise was true or not.

We went back to the others and told them the news.

" I have to leave for tour tomorrow night, I need you ALL to watch over Sarah while I'm gone okay!?" I asked, meeting all of their eyes one by one.

" We will protect Sarah with our lives man." Calum said.

" Yeah, till our last breath." Luke said.

" Awh thank you guys." Sarah said, going to hug them. It gave me a sense of reassurance knowing that she was surrounded by them but something at the back of my mind was telling me something bad was going to happen while I was gone.

The next morning was dreary for all of us. Sarah was moving slow and not talking to much. I had my bags all packed for after school, I was leaving right away. I wasn't going to be gone that long, just a month. But a lot could happen, and I had a feeling it would.

" Sarah come on angel, smile. It's not the end of the world." I whispered, lifting her chin.

" But what if it is?" she asked.

" It won't be, the guys are going to protect you. Nothing's going to happen. I promise."

" You can't promise that." she said, ripping away from my grasp, grabbing her bags and storming out of the room. She was mad at me, and I was leaving for a month, well that's nice.
