HE'S MINE

043

I was devastated at this point, he made me do so many selfish things and now he wanted to break up with me. He didn't even give me a chance to prove to him that I was the right choice for him. Tears were now nowhere at the end, my eyes were burning and my heart, shattered. I gulped, sniffing, and cleaning the tears, standing up from my bed and marching towards the door. I can't let him end things like that, I must go and talk to him. Maybe seeing me will melt his heart. With a thought like that, I exit my room and walked downstairs to his room.

I was crying my eyes out, I wasn't ready to give up on him so easily. It took him ages to notice me, and now he was already done with me?

I stood in front of his door, sobbing and gasping for air. I was now hyperventilating, fighting for air. I made a fist of my hand and slowly knocked at his door, the knock was very gentle, the last thing I wanted was Mr. Grandpa to see me next to Mikey's room. I stayed there for fifteen minutes and I bet he knew it was me, but he never welcomed me. I tracked back to my room and ended up laying in my bed. That feeling of achieving something you have loved your whole life and losing it at the very moment was horrifying. Just the thought of how the school will react when they'll find out I'm Mikey's leftover, that's what his exes were called, made me tremble in my skin.

I didn't sleep for a moment and the sun was already shining in the sky.

"Y/n, you are late for school." Shinichiro knocked at my door, worried as I have never been this late for school.

"I am not going today." I voiced, trying to sound normal. I wasn't ready to leave my room, my bed yet. My head has been aching and my eyes were swollen like a pufferfish.

"Why, are you okay?" He asked,

"I guess I am having flu." I lied, tears escaped my eyes yet again. The pain was unbearable, and I was not in a state to attend school.

"Okay, rest then, I will make you a soup and you will feel better." he declared and was gone. I was now lying in my bed, under a blanket, only leaving my eyes uncovered. He will be happily on his way to school, how can you get over someone just like that? Isn't love supposed to be something you can't move on from? More tears sprung down my eyes, I was only torturing myself with these thoughts.

I didn't leave room for the next three hours, just laid in my bed, crying my eyes to bleed. There was a knock at my door, letting me know that maybe Shinichiro came with the soup he has told me about. I quickly got up from the bed and reached out to the door. Maybe he would be abought to persuade Mikey. I opened the door and to my surprise, it was none other than Mikey himself, holding a bowl of soup and guilt all over his face. I let him enter as Mr. Grandpa and Emma weren't home, sitting in my bed, I looked away from him. He placed the bowl on the side table and sat with me in my bed.

"I am an idiot," he stated, I was too scared to answer or respond to him. "I know I did wrong, I am sorry, please." he held my hands suddenly, I jumped a little at his warm touch, "Look at me please," he insisted, bending his head almost in my lap to look in my eyes. Why wasn't he acting like he didn't break up with me last night over nothing, literally over nothing?

"You broke--up wi--th me." as soon as I stated that part, I started crying loudly. After silently sobbing the whole night, I needed that. I badly wanted to cry my heart out loudly and now was the time, I couldn't hold back the urge to voice out.

"That! Forget that. I never meant it, I was just mad." he quickly explained and sat his knees in front of me while I was perched on the bed.

"You did--didn't even open the door for me." I was sobbing intensely, he scratched the back of his neck and it seemed like he was making up an excuse to persuade me with some lies.

"You came to my room last night?" he questioned, after I gave him a nod, a satisfactory smile crept over his lips, "you came for me? weren't you scared of getting caught by Grandpa?" he asked, I shook my head.

" I was just afraid of losing you," I mumbled, he looked into my eyes and smiled.

"I was probably in the bathroom, smoking. Do you think I was partying while you were crying? I didn't sleep the entire night, skipped school, and made you this soup." he proudly stated the last part. I raised my brow in skepticism and he bit his lip, "Shinichiro kind of helped me, but I swear most of the credit goes to me." he laughed and waited for me to smile. All the pain withered away in seconds, "Y/n! I have no control over my anger, I am so sorry for last night. I know I ruined the perfect memories last night, but I promise to create many more with you." He had pain in his eyes, I also felt his hands shaking as he was still holding my hands. " And I won't ever force you for anything, not even for a kiss or hug. You are special, if I break up with someone I never go back to them, it's not in me, but with you, I want to never leave your side." he was blinking very slowly, it was nice of him to realize his mistakes.

"And next time if he misbehaves, let me know, I will punch the arrogance out of him." We both jumped when Shinichiro stepped inside my room with his arms closed, " Oh my! Look at her eyes." His jaw dropped when he watched my face, rushing in my direction, he hugged me.

"She did it for me, bro," Mikey said with a smile on his face, that moment and the smile, I felt a weird feeling in my skin. Shinichiro, who was holding me, had goosebumps all over his skin, clearly visible goosebumps.

He was smiling while both of us had no emotions on our faces. He was happy that I cried the whole night for him?

"She didn't even sleep the whole night," he added, no change in his smile, not even blinking. His smile slowly grew bigger and he tightened his grip over my hand. I stared at him and then at Shinichiro, he looked stunned too.

"She came to my room bro, she came despite the fear she has of my Grandpa." he lowered down his voice, "And, she forgave me." he was narrating everything so creepily that I wanted to get up and run away that instant.
