"You do what you want to do
Your promises are all played out
You've got your wish
You've worn me down"-
Previously on Jump."Zayn was right" I say, my heart quenching a bit at my own ferocity
"What?"
"You are a slut"

Rose's POVIt only took 3 words to feel whatever is left in my world come crashing down. It hurt. I think it might've hurt more than when just yesterday I found out he had cheated on me with someone else.
All my anger came together into just one ball of fiery rage. I stood up and looked him dead in the eyes."You fucking idiot! Me, a slut? What makes you jump to such conclusions huh? I called Jace here because I was afraid!"
Michael seems to finally catch on to how angry I actually was and he stands up as well, his olive green eyes staring into mine; matching the intensity of our exchange of words.
"Why would you be scared of me?"
"I was afraid you'd hurt me. You were so scary," tears form in my eyes and I don't want to give him the satisfaction so I try hard to hold my tears back "you were screaming and throwing things. You didn't just come here and sing me some creepy perverted song you came here yelling how sorry I was going to be when you were done with me and guess what? You almost h-hit me!" Before I knew it a string of tears was slowly beginning to blur my vision and fall from my eyes.
"Rose I don't know what I was doing I was out of my mind! You can't-"
"You tried to lay a finger on me. No matter how much I love you it will never ever cover up the fact that you even dared to try and hurt me. Because you were angry that I kissed Jace. How do you think I felt when I found out you were cheating on me? I was heart broken and angry. But did I do anything? No, I didn't because I couldn't bear to. Because if you were happier with her than you were with me I would let it be. Why? Because I love you. And I would prefer to see you happy opposed to being happy myself. So, go ahead call me a slut. Use my past against me. It's not like it hurts me anyways. I mean, I'm so empty I can't even feel anything anymore. I'm numb, and it's all your damn fault Clifford. Why didn't you just let me die at the cliff? I was probably just a waste of your damn time."
"Rose, baby." I flinch at the name that I had craved only days before. I give him a look of pure hatred.
"Don't you dare to call me baby again. Okay? Oh yeah, and this shirt. It's yours, not Jace's. Fucking idiot."
I feel a something soft brush against my ankle and I look down to see her, Autumn our adorable little kitten. I pick her up into my arms and pet her softly.
"And you wanna know the worst part." I tell him," I loved you, I think I would've died for you. It's nice to know you never felt the same. Were you just using me? You just wanted to have sex didn't you? Or were you going to try and do that thing where you find a broken girl and try to 'fix her'"
"You were not a game, much less a challenge. You want to know why I helped you that first day we met? Why I brought you to my house? I fell in love with you long ago Rose. Don't you remember me? I was the boy in the back of the class that would always leave flowers at your desk? And I would sing you terrible songs on the guitar? And I would draw these little Comics when in the end you would end up in my arms? I knew it was you since I stared into those big brown eyes that I have been in love with since I was 7. I don't know how or why I went out with Acacia. She was-"
"Stop." I say as I wrap my arms around myself and bite down on my lip to try and hold back the sobs that were falling from my lips. And the tears that seemed to blind my vision.
"You've hurt me enough Michael, I don't want to run back into those arms. I don't want to look into your warm olive eyes and fall back into the spiraling vortex of us. I don't want to feel your lips against mine because it hurts. And I'm done hurting. Goodbye Michael."
"Rose have you even been listening to a word I was saying?"
"I'm done."
"I am not leaving." He says stubbornly.
I have no more energy or strength to say anything to him. I've drained all of it completely. This heaving pain in my chest was ever growing and the heavy stream of tears was slowing getting slower. And once they stopped I knew I was done with. I know what happened but I didn't feel anything.
Emptiness seemed to be the only thing within me and there I was completely breaking down in front of a person that I used to love.
