all time low (2012-2013)

sweet revenge

new years eve...
"oh wow these lights are beautiful" sabrina says as she hooks alex's hands as we walk down a crowded street, we decided we will be going out to celebrate, we were going to a club downtown and i was kinda excited because i heard great things about it.

"sorry" mike snatches me from jack, not that we were holding hands or even talking but he snatched me from beside him.

"howsss myyy girlyy doinn" he says as he fixes his cap.

"awful" i admit, it was freezing and i was in a huge jacket with a fur hoodie and our mouths made smoke.

"aww why is that? you know you dont have to hangout with jack, it can beeeeee jusssttt ussssss" he says and winks at me as he cracks random dances as we walk and it genuinely makes me laugh.

"OKAY OKAY" i say to stop him and he wraps an arm around me as we walk. mike means the world to me. he always would go out of his way just to make me happy. and i love him for that.

2003..
"where are you going?" my mom asks me as i tie my shoelaces.

"i ran out of glue for my project, i'll go to the corner store to get one" i tell her and i head out the door quickly so she doesnt see my eyes. i was crying like hell.

i got away with having sex with jack, my mom didnt find out and we managed to convince our teacher it was just a little accident i had, but the entire school knew and it made people pick on me even more and i couldnt see jack anymore, i had to take a break from us.

i walk outside, it was breezy and quiet and mike had got us a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of alcohol.

"stop crying for my sake danielle, it's gonna be ok" he pulls me in to his side tightly and i sniff the cold air.

"here want some? i got you something light" he gives me a bottle of alcohol but it was only 10%, he didnt want me drunk.

"aaand, this." he hands me a cigarette and lights it up for me, we walk through the neighborhood as we smoke and drink.

"thanks mike, i would have died if not for you" i thank him.

"of course, you are my bestfriend, it's gonna be alright and i'll figure it out for you" he reassures me as he blows the smoke and the wind blows his side swept bangs.

"are you sure?" i feel so sick, i dont wanna go to school anymore. i wanted to disappear every time someone batted an eye at me and whispered whore.

"yep, i have major dirt on this bitch, she used to email me nudes" he says as he takes the bottle from my hand and sips.

"MIKE!! we arent gonna blackmail her??" i say as i utterly refuse, her being a bad person is a thing and us threatening her with private pictures is an entirely other narrative that i will not support.

"yeah we are shes a fuckin bitch, besides i wont actually leak anything, its just fun to watch her be sorry for you, cause she deserves to go through the rush of the worry that we'll do it" he says as he blows the smoke and ditches the cigarette.

"fine then, just dont actually do anything because i wont forgive you if you do." i tell him as i sip on the alcohol.

"dont worry, i promise you" he reassures me and gives me another cigarette.

"thanks moike" i say and it makes him chuckle, he always thought it was funny i said it that way.

the next day at school, that bitch natalie...
mike's pov.. (first time you read anything from his perspective in both of the books!!)
"hey nat" i say while leaning on the locker next to her's, she slams her locker and ignores me as she holds her books, if anything, natalie liked playing hard to get.
