Real Love?

Chapter 53

2 days later..

I was on the plane getting ready to fly back to Atlanta. It's been a rough two days to be real. I haven't eaten anything but Snickers. I haven't been myself, and I'm always feeling out of place.

"Get some sleep Jade. You look awful." Micaela said.

"Wow. Thanks. Makes me feel great." I said, sarcastically and dry.

"You know what I mean. I'm worried about you, actually we all are. But McCoy is worried sick. Literally." she said.

I was being so selfish. I shut everyone out, not thinking of how they felt or would feel. I sighed, disappointed.

I walked over to where he was sitting because Micaela insisted we take her private jet or whatever.

"Hey." I said.

He snapped his head up and smiled, "Hi."

"Umm..are you ok?" I asked him

He looked up at me like I was crazy, "I think I should be the one asking you that."

I sighed knowing I was either going to talk about this situation with him or drop it and sleep.

"Well, Micaela said that you were literally worried sick so yeah.." I said.

He smiled, "Well thank you for checking on me. But i'm not the one you should be worried about."

I looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

"Michael hasn't eaten in 2 day. He barely slept, won't talk to me, and he keeps saying sorry."

"Where is he?" I asked.

He pointed to the back of the plane. I saw Michael just sitting there looking depressed and lost. Instantly, I felt awful. If I didn't shut him out, he would still be the uplifting, smiling guy he is.

I walked over to him and sat right next to him. He looked up and when he made eye contact with me, he immediately put his head back down.

"Hey.." I barely said loud enough for myself to hear.

After a few second of just silence he finally said, "Hi.."

"Umm..how are you holding up?" I said, trying to make conversation.

He gave me the same look McCoy gave me. The look where someone thinks you're crazy because of something you said, but you feel like you didn't say anything crazy. It's complicated but simple.

"Are you seriously asking me if i'm ok?" He said, angry.
