Michelle's POV

"You are leaving aren't you?" I ask Caleb, who sits sitting on my bed not even at least looking at me.

"Yeah it's time" he say and then takes a deep breath.

"Well don't let me hold you back" I say

"You aren't holding me back Mich" he say and finally looks at me but quickly looks away.

"You don't even have the audacity" I say and he just continues looking down despite him knowing what I mean

"You don't even have the audacity to look at me!" I exclaim, but still he doesn't even flinch, he just keeps his head down.

"Because I don't recognize the person I see!" He exclaims back and he looks at me, like a stranger.

"We grew up together, we've went through hell! I can't be a girlfriend to you Cay, it's not me , it's not who I am" I try to make him understand, but I highly doubt he does.

"I don't think so, I think it's because I'm not someone rich old man who can give you everything, someone who can accept the fact that you'll be sleeping around" I was so founded by his words that I slapped him, he looked so surprised, even I was. But I was done, playing villain for him just so he can be the hero.

"Get out of my room Caleb, go to school, like the perfect boy you are, Polly protected you from all of it, she never let you see the dark side, I was there Caleb, I saw shit that would've made you piss your pants at your big age. I can't sleep Cay, I have dreams about shit that happened back then so you don't you judge me" by now I'm already crying, I just feel tired.

"Michelle -" he tries to reach for my arm but I shift away in a panicked manner but I meant it more as a disapproval.

He just stares at me for a good second and he leaves, I know that's the last I'll see if him until Polly calls him for an emergency.

Caleb and I were in love, we liked each other, Polly knew it but decided not to interfere. I realised later on that Caleb and I were toxic, I was like broken glass , he tried to put me back together but I always ended up cutting him. I still love him, a lot, but I've let him go. I can hold on to someone they'll only move further away.

I hear a light knock on my door before it opens slightly and I see Polly stick out her head.

"Hey " she greets

"Hey" I greet back obviously soundinglike I'm in a bad mood.

"So Caleb is gone" she says, sitting right at the edge of my bed.

"Yeah" I say showingno interest in the conversation.

"I'm sorry Mich" she knew, but she never forced me to talk about it.

"I'm fine" I say, I sniff and wipe a tear.

"Ok, move over" she moves to me, enteringmy blankets and putting mg head on her shoulder.

And that very moment i just let it out, I poured my heart out. I told Polly everything , and she just listened.

And I now feel like I've mad the right choice
