MICHAEL'S POV
When I woke up, I felt exactly the same way I've been feeling the past few days - empty. But it was a different kind of empty, like something was wrong. I could feel it in the slightly frigid air, and it scares the shit out of me.
I remembered how much hurt I felt towards her, Mia - the girl who's both my potion and poison, because the fact that she kept a big secret from me stung. I mean, she was in extreme danger, how could she not tell me?
I don't give a shit about my safety. All I care about is her, I fucking swear.
I was so angry and hurt that I let my dumbass self break up with the love of my life, because all she wanted to do was protect me. Well, that's the biggest mistake I'll ever regret. And those awful words I told her yesterday, ha, that was the cherry on top of the crappy ice cream that is my life.
When we got off the Ferris Wheel yesterday, I could tell something was wrong. I saw it in those beautiful eyes of her that something was bothering her. I don't know, maybe it was just my Mia Radar, but it was like she was going to die soon.
I managed to bring myself out of bed, after hearing a large clang! sound from downstairs, so that means one of the boys were being idiots and Mia was probably standing in the background laughing at them.
I glance down at the hallway, at Ashton's door. Where she sleeps now. I cringe at the thought; Ashton would be so much better to her than I ever was. It's surprising how she's not falling for the obvious charm he's trying to put on her - Ashton obviously still likes her, even though he claims he doesn't.
"Okay, who's murdering who?" I say once I enter the room where everyone else was. "Because if there isn't any commotion, I'll be murdering someone for making me get out of bed this-"
"She's gone!" Ashton shouts, his face becoming hysterical as he holds a piece of paper.
"Who's gone?" I asked, and suddenly a painful gut feeling was forming inside me.
Calum rolls his eyes at me. "Who do you think? Mia."
"What do you mean, gone?" I breathed out, taking a seat on the stool so I won't pass out.
"Here." Calum snatched the paper Ashton was clinging onto like a koala and handed it to me. It was a note.
Dear boys,
So there's actually a reason as to why I was emotional tonight. I got a call from my friend, and I have to back to America for important obligations. Duty calls. I couldn't tell you guys... I'm sorry. But I have to leave, and I will miss you very much.
Calum, I will always remember how you never failed to make me laugh and smile everyday.
Ashton, I will always remember you as one of the most genuine and amazing friend I've ever had.
Luke, I will always remember how you kept things peaceful and remained your innocent adorable self - never change.
And Michael, of course I will always love you. I'm so sorry for hurting you, and if me leaving without you knowing hurts you more... I really am sorry.
Thank you boys for taking me in and protecting me when you did. I had the time of my life with you, and I don't know if I'll make it out alive but if I do, I'll come back. I promise. And please, don't go after me. I have to do this.
I love you all. And hey, maybe you really taught me how to be a proper fangirl... :D
Love, Mia
