I'm Not Okay, (I Promise) ~A Mikey Way Love Story

13 - You Really Need To Listen To Me

Cole POV

I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing.

"Hello." I said, tiredly.

"Cole," I heard Cassie say, "We need to talk." She was crying.

"Um, okay. Do you want me to come over?"

"Can you, please?" She was seriously crying now.

"Cass, are you okay?" I was worried.

"No." Well, at least she's honest.

"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes." I said, getting up. Cassie didn't say anything else, she just hung up.

I stood up, but was pulled back by Mikey.

"Don't leave." He begged.

"I have to. Cassie needs to talk to me about something."

"No! I'm not letting you leave!" He was acting like a five year old begging their mom to stay with them on their first day of kindergarten. 

"Mikey, I have to."

"Pwease stay." He pouted. Why must he be so damn cute when he acts like a five year old?

"Want me to sing for you?" I knew that was the only way he would let me go.

"Yes!" He yelled. I laughed.

"What song?" I asked. He thought about it for about fifteen seconds.

"Iris." He said and let go of me.

"Okay." I smiled.

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closet to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am"  I sang as I got dressed. When I was done I walked over and kissed Mikey. His tongue glided across my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I decided to tease him and deny it. I pulled away and looked at Mikey. His face: priceless. He looked shocked and looked like he was about to cry.

"Why do I put up with this abuse?" He asked.

"Because you love me." I said, sweetly.

"More than anything." He said.

"That was really sweet. Even if that line is extremely cliched." I pecked his lips and ran downstairs. I walked out to my car and climbed in. I put the key in the ignition and drove off.

~Time Lapse to when Cole gets to Cassie and Frank's house~

I got out of the car and walked up to the door. I knocked and Cassie answered. Her face was red, her eyes were puffy, and there were tears rolling down her cheeks. I tightly hugged her.
