Starting Something New
Mike's POV:
I'm such a jerk. Major. I lost Christina for good now and this time it's one hundred percent my fault. I definitely won't get her back this time. She's done with me and to be honest, I don't blame her.
I was just so jealous of her. Or him. Him being Derek. She just seemed so genuinely happy with him and it got me mad. I wanted revenge and that's what I did. Those girls? Yeah, they were definitely good kissers, like really good. But it wasn't Christina. I knew what I was doing was wrong. Very wrong. My mom would probably disown me of she knew. But you have to look at it from my point of view.
What if you noticed that your girlfriend was happier with her friend Derek than he was with you? Well let me tell you, it's not the best feeling.It makes you feel like you're not good enough, which I know Christina didn't think but I just felt it, you know? I just couldn't help it. I wanted her to be as happy with me as she was with him but now I lost her.
All because I'm one stupid jerk, and she made that pretty clear that she wants nothing to do with me.
But now there's Natalie. And I like her, a lot. This is kind of another chance for me. She's one of Christina's best friends so this might be kind of hard but this is my chance. I like Natalie. She's so sweet and funny and she cares about everyone. I would never want to hurt her. And if I get her, I'm making a promise to myself right now that I will not hurt her. I'm losing another perfect girl like that. I was stupid, too stupid. I lost Christina like that and I'm not losing Natalie like that too.
I just want to feel worth it for Natalie. I want to make her happy and make her feel loved. I feel horrible for what I did to Christina and I can't make Natalie feel this way too. I can't.
I'm gonna make it right this time.
I decide to take Natalie on a date today, well kinda. I invited her to come with me on a walk in the park and then I'm gonna take her to Starbucks. I know, basic but it's simple enough I just talk and get things started.

Christina's POV:
I'm really happy. Like really really happy.
Derek!
He just makes me so happy. I don't even know what I did to deserve this boy in my life.
Yeah, Mike's a jerk but I'm thinking it's better that we don't date anymore anyway. He's like family to me, he always was, and I just think this couldve ruined stuff. It already ruined our friendship so I don't want it to ruin anything else. I think we'll do better like this. I'm still totally furious at him because he made me feel worthless. Like I wasn't good enough for him so he had to go and cheat to satisfy himself. I was never that one to just sit there and make out with him whenever he wanted so he went and satisfied himself. I never was that girl. I wanted to make sure he loved me for me, not my actions towards him. I was affectionate, I'll admit, but I have limits. I guess he just couldn't accept them and respect me.
But we're over now so hopefully things will be better now.
I have Derek.
Well, not officially, but that's okay. I have Derek. That's all that matters. I'm just really happy.
Derek calls me.
"Hey princess!" Derek says through the phone and I can't help but blush. I'm not gonna lie, my heart kinda skips a lot of beats when he says that.
"Hey Derek!" I say and he laughs. "I need to make you a nickname too!" I add and he laughs louder.
"Don't worry about it. Whatever you call me sounds perfect either way." Derek tells me and I continue to blush.
