#59 Mick - Tears

MADDIE POV.: I stood before James, really confused, in the middle of our kitchen.
-Mad, I..- he stumbled for a moment, and I felt like I don't know him anymore... That he's still my boyfriend, but actually someone else..
-It just isn't the same between us, like it used to be... I just... Don't feel the same anymore...- as those words left his lips, I felt like drowning. Everything seemed distant for me... This couldn't be happening...
-What do you mean Jimmy?- I asked him, even though I already knew what he meant by that.
-I'm breaking up with you... For the sake of us both....- he replied and his voice was stoic. Like our 3 years of relationship meant nothing to him. But I didn't cry. Not in front of him.
-If it's what you want then...- I agreed, emocionless. Yet, another lie I said in those last weeks. We broke apart weeks ago, that was sad reality. Even if I thought we'll have "forever" together... That we'll work out everything what is against us...
James left pretty short after, whishing me all the best. I did the same and locked the door behind him, sliding down to the floor against them, crying hard, as I felt my heart break into thousands of pieces. Our relationship was rocky and difficult, but it still hurted...
I have no idea for how long I was sitting there, but then I felt like I needed to talk to someone. Someone who knows me more than I do know myself. Someone who was with me through thick and thin.. My bestest of friends, Mick Schumacher...
I got up with a little of struggle, put on my boots, which I got actually from him for my last birthday, and a hoodie, which was, ironically, also Mick's, and left my home. That was also why my and James's relationship was rocky... He was always jealous of my friendship with Mick, no matter how many times I told him to not be. He never listened...
The fact that Schumacher's lived just across the street was another adventage... And with every step closer, I felt like I'm coming back home...
When I finally reached it, I knocked on the door twice, and rang the bell with two sharp touches. It's like a "sign" that it's me, not a someone else, as long as I remember... We invented when I was 8,or something, and it stayed that way until now. Shortly after that I heard some movement inside, and a loud barking, which made me smile. Then, when the door bursed open, I locked gazes with Mick, naturally catching Angie's paws, as she jumped to me, not looking at her. That's the way it always was...
-Maddie...- Mick's eyes shot wide open, as he saw my state.
-Hi Mickey...- my voice cracked, when I mustered a weak smile -Hello to you too, Angie!- I smiled at the dog, gave her head a little kiss and then I put her down and played with her fur a bit.
-Come inside..- he stepped aside, to let me in, for which I thanked him with a sharp nod. After that I took off my shoes, and Mick without many words pulled me in, for a hug, as he kissed my head.
-Let's sit down...- he whispered and dragged me all the way to the couch, where we floped down and Mick wrapped a warm blanket around me -Tell me everything... Get if off your chest..- he pulled me in, for another strong hug. And it made me feel like at home...
-It's James... He...- I tried to stop my voice from cracking, but failed misserably -He broke up with me...- and the tears also flowed on my cheeks again, dumping his shirt in the process.
-Shhh... It's alright..! Everything will be fine...- Mick assured me, as he gently swiped his free hand over my cheek to dry it, holding me close with other one. And his embrace again made me feel safe... Like at home...
-Thank you..- I blubbered out, trying to dry them myself. I meant many things by that two words, and I knew Mick knows it. He knows me too well...
-Maddie. Remember that I'll always be by your side, whenever you'll need me or not. I promise- he said and placed a loving kiss on top of my head. I didn't reply anything, I didn't have to. And Mick knew that too....

....
We stayed on the couch for a while, laying in slience, with Angie by our feet, until I stopped crying. It felt similar, like the old times, when we were little. Laying together, watching some movies, not saying anything but also smiling, deeply in thoughts... We've done it when I fell off my bike and scrached my knee, or when I was scared of darkness and his presence helped me sleep... Or when his dad had a accident and I stayed with him all the time, keeping the nightmares and tears away from him... He had been always there for me. Ever since I can remember, knowing him... And I always try to do the exact same thing if he needs it..
-James is an idiot, you know? For doing that to you..- Mick broke the silence, as he looked down at me, and I flashed him a small but meaningfull smile in return.
-How come you always know what to say?
-I just know you- he simply replied and placed a short kiss to my forehead.
-You always manage to save me. Every damn time. I'd be long lost and gone without you in my life Mick...
-I know. And I want you to know that you do exactly the same for me Maddie- he replied, and I saw only a pure honesty in his eyes -I'll try to make your days better, I promise.. And I'll be just here, right by your side, whenever you might need me...
-Thanks Mickey..- I whispered back, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
After that we layed some more on the couch, deeply in thoughts, with our limbs tightly tangled. And that's when I realised, that I didn't lost my true love. I still have it in front of me...
THE END

Another one where James Brown is a dick...
What can I say, I hate that guy!
Have a nice day! / Goodnight!
