Michael<3:
U busy today?

"Who are you texting?" Todd ask, leaning forward to get a look at my screen. I ignored him, pressing the power button on my phone.

"Is it Michael?" He continued, oblivious to the fact that I was completely annoyed with him. Oblivious to everything to be completely honest.

"Cut the crap Todd... and stop pretending like you give a freak about who I'm texting" I replied, rolling my eyes. He looked taken aback at my sudden anger... as if it hadn't been bottled up inside of me from having to be with him all day. His blue eyes that were glistening a moment ago were now on a whole new level.

"You're the one who broke up with me, Caro... and frankly I think we're worth another shot... I mean Michael Clifford? Isn't he like gay or something?"

"You were an idiot... you don't know how to treat a girl right and you never will... he's not gay and don't call me Caro" I snapped, standing up and walking towards the door.

"Oh don't get like this, you know how much I've changed? I still love you-"

"Love? Todd, what's my birthday?" I ask.

He looked at me with a blank expression.

"That's what I thought. Bye."

"Caroline... we have to finish this science project... you can't just-" He yelled, before I slammed the door. I can't believe I ever thought he'd do anything but disappoint me.

When I got to my car I turned up the radio to a slow song. I wasn't really listening to the words, but it felt just right to bring back all my memories of wasted thoughts.

7 months ago:

"What's wrong babe?" I smiled, trying to not sound hurt.

"Your hands are sweaty... and call me Todd." he replied, removing his hand from my grasp. I could feel my cheeks heat up. We'd been dating for 4 months... heck we'd been friends for two years... and he couldn't even hold my hand? I used to think it was cute when he got nervous and wouldn't hug me back or be immature in public. What's wrong with me? Why won't he just be serious for one second and...

"Oh... those nachos didn't agree with me" He said, as a loud sound emitted from his phone.

"Really? You're disgusting" I fake laughed, pretending I found the situation funny.

"Caro, you're so gullible... I got a fart app on my phone... that wasn't me" He laughed, shaking his head at my stupidity. I giggled lightly. Fake. Am I dating an eight year old? Does he really think I thought that was him? It's note cute anymore. Maybe I am stupid if I thought it ever was.

5:44 p.m.

I laugh at the fact that the memory that comes to mind when I think of Todd was just of him being immature. Not when he told me I looked prettier with long hair after I'd cut it... not when he would never let me listen to my radio station. No... he only liked R&B... who the heck only listens to R&B?

Michael<3
hello?

I smiled to myself.

-No I'm not busy today... why?

Michael<3:
Cause I'm bored outa my freaking mind. I'll be there in 15.

I laughed a long enough laugh for me to question my mental health. Michael might mess with my heart and he might be the cause of so many tears and pain but at least he doesn't have a fart app.

-kk see u then <3

6:08 p.m.

"You're late" I laughed, opening the door.

"No... I'm Michael" he winked at me, walking in.

"Loving the new hair" I smiled, looking over his bright red quiff.

Since when does Michael wear a quiff?

"Thanks... you too" He said, tucking a loose strand behind my ear.

"But there's nothing different"

"It just looks good today" He replied, walking over to the Tv.

"So... shall we watch thy Netflix" He joked.

"Oh my gosh I-" I stopped before I finished with love you.

"I love Netflix... "

We ended up just watching some stupid comedy about a nerd girl who becomes Prom queen. Every time he laughed I died a little. I pulled out the M&M's because I knew they were his favourite and we shared them as we kept scooting closer together. I laid my head on his shoulder for the first time. He played with my fingers, gently tracing them with his. We didn't say anything, but it was this just all consuming comfort in having someone to snuggle on the couch with and watch stupid movies for 13 year olds in the 90's with. And that was it... that was the day I decided to let go.
