HE'S MINE

058

"Mikey you are burning with fever." I declared, checking his hands and neck with my hand.

"oh, I am fine. I brought you something," he tried to look happy, shaking his head and hiding his tears, "sit!" he smiled. I did what he said because I didn't want him to feel vulnerable in front of me.

"See!" he opened a small box that has a bracelet in it and immediately the sight of Sanzu helping Yuzuha with the pendant popped in front of my eyes. why was this happening to me? a good girlfriend should help his boyfriend in healing, but it felt like our relationship lacked the spark, the spark I thought I would never get with Sanzu.

"Why do you think?" Mikey mumbled, smiling innocently.

" It is a very beautiful Mikey." I smiled back, quickly putting it on. I understand that he had a rough childhood, and it has to be related to Shinichiro as well because now that I have finally begun to grow up, I didn't feel right in his presence. There was a negative aura surrounding Shinichiro. the problem was that I felt like I have never loved Mikey, it was only an obsession because Shinichiro had fed me these lies about how perfect my life will be with Mikey and because I grew up with him, watching him, fantasying about him. it almost felt like he was the only option back then, and my stubborn mind wanted to feel him, see what it feels like to date him.

Then I looked at him, smiling in my face: all happy and chill. I have to make it work, I can't step back, I can't be the fuckgirl. it is wrong to make someone fall for you and then you back down because you don't feel the same, or because you are not getting the pleasures you thought you would get from this relationship.

We spent a few hours together and it was honestly very nice, he promised me that he will make things okay so that grandpa couldn't part us. we drove back home and guess who welcomed us.

"where were you two?" grandpa was standing on the porch, frown on, anger visible on his face.

"I---," Mikey stuttered, looking down. Shinichiro was standing behind grandpa, nervously playing with his fingers.

"my friend needed a ride, so I asked Mikey to help her. she couldn't go along with him so I went with them, she lives far from here." I lied in haste, not letting him question Mikey again. Grandpa, who was constantly glaring at Mikey, looked at me and nodded his head.

"you guys have cell phones, next time inform us," he muttered and cleared the way for us. we two rushed our rooms without being interrupted by Grandpa again.

I lay in my bed and watched the bracelet in my hand, it was so sweet of him to realize his mistakes quickly. a smile brought to my lips and then it reminded me of Sanzu, I must check if I am still blocked. I picked up my phone and he had unblocked me.

feeling shocked in my head, I hurriedly sat straight and went through his Facebook, which was on private, my bad. I then proceeded to check Yuzuha's Facebook and guess what I stumbled upon.

there was a picture of her neck, just the pendant hanging down her neck with a caption.

"When he gives you a pendant with your name on it and promises you to give you his name soon."

My heart stopped beating, what? Yuzuha did know what that phrase meant, then why would she write something like that?

I started looking through the comments and the first comment was from Hanma.

Hanma: wow!

Yuzuha: Thanks

Hanma: I didn't congratulate you.

Yuzuha: Okay

Girl: Hey girl congratulations.

Yuzuha: Thanks.

Girl: When are we meeting him?

Yuzuha: Not yet, he has to clear things first.

Hanma: Or maybe he is waiting for the right moment to tell you that he is not into you.

Girl: excuse me, Hanma?

Yuzuha: ignore him, he is just trolling.

Hanma: oh yeah ignore me now.

Sanzu: Hanma!

Hanma: Oh yes bro?

Sanzu: Don't upset her.

Hanma: hmm okay.

......................

I felt heat waves omitting through my body. they were dating, but secretly, just like how Mikey wanted to make things right first, same Sanzu wanted to clear the allegations on him first. if so, why had he almost kissed me?

was it what they talked about after we left his room? she didn't tell me, why? because I never told her? my heart was aching, my mind going mad crazy. it was when tears started flowing down my eyes, what were u thinking? I shouldn't jeopardize my relationship with Mikey now that he is the only one I've left.

Sanzu was never going to forgive me and with him dating Yuzuha they were going to ignore me. I got up from my bed and sat on the floor on my knees. holding my phone close to my chest and biting my lip to prevent myself from crying loudly. I was sobbing and hiccups attacked me, I don't know why I thought I doubted my love for Mikey when everybody around me had moved on from me. I mean, I've no one left with me except for Mikey now.

I immediately picked up my phone when it rang and it was from Mikey, with quavered lips, I attended the call and from the other side, he was singing. immediately, a smile crept over my lips, he was singing hey there Delilah! and not in a very good voice, he was whispering so you can imagine. I began laughing loudly, he halted and then joined me in.

"you didn't like it?" he asked, I could hear him laughing from the other side.

"I love it," I said and sniffled, finally feeling better and all thanks to him.

"hey, were you crying?" he stopped laughing and turned serious, I can't thank him enough for changing my mood.

"your song, it was sweet," I mumbled and smiled, he laughed a little. we spent hours talking on the phone, I have never felt so connected to him before, but I can feel in my veins that I wasn't that little girl fantasizing about my crush all the time, I had grown out of my dreams in this small amount of time.
