--Trigger Warning (Self-Harm)--

I woke up alone.

It was still dark, and I don't think I slept any. But Michael was gone. I expected him to still be there. I get up and look around the small forest area, and in the tree I spot a small red light. I walk over to it, and reach up and grab it.

I small tape recorder was now in my possession.

I got a sick feeling that it was some sort of joke.

I drop the camera and run out of the woods up to the house. I didn't care about knocking as I open the door, and go downstairs. I see a slightly open laptop next to the couch and I open it more. I see the ground out where I was just was.

I move the mouse and see a rewind button.

I see the entire thing with Michael, and frown at how I looked.

Then I see Michael get up from the place I remember him being last, and thumbs up the camera pointing at me. He walks out of the small area, and that is when I knew.

He was never going to change. He was never going to be a better person, not like he's promised me. I didn't know where the three of them were, but I didn't care. A few tears leave my eyes, and I get up from the couch. I slowly go back upstairs and out of the house. I pick up my bike, too upset to actually ride it. I push it along side me, my right hand in the middle of the handlebars.

To David: Michael is an asshole.

I'm not sure why I texted him, but I needed to vent to somebody. As bad as that may sound.

From David: I couldve told u that.

I smile a bit, he was being decent.

From David: Are u guys still friends?

I frown thinking about it. I was already doubting the very short term relationship with Michael and decided that it was probably for the best we broke up and I did not associate with him, Ashton, or Calum.

To David: No.

I think I had him as a friend again.

From David: Dont talk to me, freak

I stare at the screen, confused.

He seemed pleasant, almost. Maybe he just wanted popularity.

To David: We are still dating, though. And I'm gonna stay with him. Not sure about Calum and Ashton though.

I lied, I didn't want to be anywhere near Michael right now. I slowly go down the hill, tears still falling from my eyes.

From David: oh

He wanted me for the popularity. He thought people would like him if the three most popular boys did. That isn't necessarily how it works, though. I'm not going to be popular because of it. I am just going to be Michael's boyfriend, not somebody everyone wants at their party or some crap.

To David: You are worse than he is, honestly. Don't talk to me, David. You only want to talk to me for the chance of becoming popular. But you know most people think you're a douche.

I felt bad saying something like that to him, I wasn't one to call people names. But I knew what he was doing.

From David: Im going now. Im gonna kick ur ass tomorrow, Hemmings.

I roll my eyes, knowing he won't do shit. Not with Michael and the other two on my side.

I was pissed off at Michael, I didn't want to be with him. I feel like punching a wall or something that would make me experience rage and pain at the same time.
