The next days are difficult for Michelle. She ignores Mattheo, but she can see how he is looking at her with his sad eyes. She knows he didn't want to hurt anyone, but she can't forgive him.
She spent her time with Fred but she realised that she didn't feel the same for him. So she searches for him because she wants to talk to him.
"Hey Fred, can we talk for a minute?" she asks, nervous.
"Yes, sure, I have some time right now.
What's up?" he asks in a good mood.
"Maybe we can sit down under the tree.."
Michelle sits down, and Fred beside her. "Listen... I know we are spending a lot of time together and..I think you have feelings
for me. Is that right?" she asks in a calm tone.
Fred sighs, relieved and looks over to her "yes..I do have feelings for you. But I guess you don't feel the same, right?" he says, already dissappointed.
"I am really sorry... but I don't feel the
same. We are really good friends but.. for
me... there not more."
Freds heart almost shattered. He keeps his calm and forces a smile, but his face feels cold and numb now. He doesn't even know what to say.
"It's alright. I understand." He says. The smile on his face feels stiff now. He continues, "I hope we can still be friends. I really like you.. " he looks at her,
waiting for her response.
"Yeah , of course. You have to understand
that you are a great guy, but I think I like
somebody else.. I am sorry." Michelle says with a sad undertone.
He nods slowly while his heart is breaking.
He tries to hide it and not to make a scene. He is trying to take it well, but it hurts deep
inside. "Maybe I should go.. should I leave?"
She nods. "I am sorry."
Fred nods. "Okay then..'ll see you around..." Fred is about to walk away. He needs to be alone before he leaves he looks at her one last time. He tries not to look destroyed by the way. 'Who is he?' He asks himself.
Mattheo was standing behind a tree and
has listened to everything. He does not
want Michelle to know that he heard it. But he wonders who she likes also, he is relieved that she doesn't want to be with Fred.
Mattheo walks away slowly while looking at the ground. He keeps asking himself how things could've been different. 'Why did I have to act that way and be so freaking jealous?' He thinks and sighs. He can't believe he threw what they had away
just because of jealousy.
Fred looks up from the ground and notices a
shadow behind the tree. He sees someone
peeking through, but he can't tell who it is.
'Who is it? Was it Mattheo the whole time?
did he hear everything?' He asks himself.
Mattheo stays in the shadows. He feels
relieved that Fred and Michelle are not
together anymore. He feels angry towards
himself, but when he finds out that she is
mad at him too for what he did, he gets
even angrier. He keeps listening in on the conversation. He is curious to find out who she likes.
Michelle sits under the tree alone for a while. Thinking about everything. She misses the conversations with Mattheo.
Mattheo can't take his eyes off her. Michelle sitting there makes him miss their conversations, too. But he also feels like he doesn't deserve to even talk to her anymore because of his stupid reaction.
He wants to move closer to her, but he is
scared for some reason. Scared that
maybe he will hurt her again..
POV Michelle:
I stand up and take my things. What a day.
I broke Freds heart.. but for some reason
mine feels broken, too.
