The Boy of My Nightmares 5sos.au.

Chapter 19

It's nearly been a month.

Tomorrow makes one month that Ashton and I have been together, and we're great.

But tomorrow also makes one month since I've talked to Michael. He won't answer my calls, he reads my texts but never texts back, he never answers the door when I show up at his house. I actually stayed on his porch for nearly 12 hours, crying and talking to him. He never came out. He hasn't been to work since that day, I don't even know if he quit or if he's just taking a break. I don't know what to do, everyone kept telling me that he'd be okay in a couple days but it's been a fucking month and he won't say a word to me.

I grab my phone, staring at Michael's messages. I type out another as my eyes fill with tears.

I get frustrated with him not answering, an entire month and the only thing he has to say to me is I'm fine. I throw my phone onto the couch next to me and cry into my hands, I don't know what else to do. I never imagined that Michael of all people would abandon me like this.

Without thinking, I reach for my phone and grasp it in my hand, typing in the number I know by heart and calling it.

It rings and rings, no answer. Typical. I wait for the voicemail, Mikey's voice ringing through my phone. "Hey, it's Michael. You got my voicemail, I either missed it or didn't want to talk to you. Either way leave a message and I might listen to it."

Soon, the beep sounds and I wait a second before speaking, my voice shaking from all of the tears, "Mikey. I- I miss you so much. I really want my best friend back. Just.. Please call me. Or text me more than two words? I still love you, you'll always be my best friend, even if you hate me. Goodnight." I break off with a loud sob, pressing the end call button. I've left so many voicemails, i know he listens to them or at least deleted them because if he didn't his voicemail would definitely be full.

I toss my phone to the other end of the couch again, sobbing into my knees before laying on my side, curled into a ball.

Nearly half an hour later, I've finally calmed down and am watching some movie on TV, not paying much attention since I'm tired. I wish I could sleep but for some reason, I can't seem to do that tonight.

My phone beeps, signaling a text and I practically jump across the couch to grab the device, hoping Michael texted me.
