Since Michael and I were in bad terms I decided to sleep in the guest bedroom, even though, Michael insisted I take our bed.

I wasn't sure what to do. I loved Michael, with all my heart but I wasn't sure if it was mutual.

Even though I was still living with him, I decided to clear my head and stay with a friend for a few days.

I packed the next morning and put my stuff by the door, so I was ready when she came to pick me up, but Michael must have seen it.

Before I go outside to wait, I grab my stuff and feel Michaels eyes piercing through me, as he's sitting in the living room, moping around. "I'm going to go stay with a friends for few days." I say, giving him an awkward smile.

He looks upset, as he silently stands up by the couch. "When will you be back?" He asks.

"Maybe a week, but I'm not sure." I say, "but it could be permanent depending on the circumstances."

He looks down for a moment. "So, is this goodbye forever?" He asks, as a tear escapes his eye.

I look down, as I'm about to open the door, and let a tear roll down my cheek.

"I don't know." I say quietly, as I walk out the door not looking back. I hop into my friends car and drive away from home.

...

3 years later; Start of the Bad Tour.

It has been 3 years since I left Michael because I wasn't sure if he really loved me and I felt like he was still holding on to his love for Diana. I ended up staying at my friends, and then getting an apartment near by.

Michael and I have been close through the years, as friends, but it's still awkward, so we keep our distance.

It was the beginning of the Bad tour and Michael asked if we could meet before he left for Japan.

We met at a small coffee shop in downtown LA.

"Hey." Michael says, as he enters the shop.

"Hi." I say, blushing at how handsome Michael looks. He has changed since the last time I've seen him. He has longer hair, fuller smile, and his eyes are shining like the stars at night.

I was falling in love with him all over again, as if I ever stopped.

I bring my coffee to the table and we both sit down.

"So, y/n how have you been?" He asks, shining his bright smile at me, not breaking eye contact.

"I've been great." I say, but totally lying. "And you?"

"I've been very busy, there is a lot of stuff coming up for me, and it's work, work, work." He says, letting out a soft chuckle.

He suddenly gets quiet, "I'm sorry." He says, looking ashamed.

"I know this may not be a good time for me or you but I think I'm ready to talk, and it's why I wanted to meet you here." He says.

He lets out a big sigh before talking.

"I'm ready to let go of my past, the part that includes Diana. I realized that, yes, I loved Diana, dearly but she wasn't good for me. She never loved me, the way I loved her, and it was unhealthy. Yes, we had an intimate night, but it was a mistake and it only made me want her more." He says.

"What you're saying doesn't seem like you're over her, just yet." I say, staring down at my feet.

"Well, she didn't want me, so I moved on and I established my career and became bigger, and more successful, and I met you." He says, and I can't help but smile at his words of simplicity.

"The moment I saw you, it was like Diana didn't exist and this weight was lifted off my chest, and walking into this coffee shop and seeing your gorgeous eyes and beautiful smile for the first time in like two and a half years, it was like I was seeing you for the first time."

"The first time I fell in love with you." He says, his eyes twinkling in the sunlight.

"I should have never blurted it out at the party but it was because I thought you let Donte hit on you, but now I see that's not the case."

"And when we started to fight and I got into the accident, all I wanted was for you to be okay, and I never felt more guilty in my life. That's why I didn't want to talk about that night." He explains, as he twiddles with his fingers.

I'm at a lost for words. "I'm sorry." I blurt out quietly, "I didn't know."

"How could you? I never talked to you about it and I'm sorry. I never truly loved Diana, and you're the only one I ever truly loved, and felt loved by." He says.

"I love you y/n, always have and always will."
