Unpredictable ~LH & MC~

{Emily's POV}

After lunch, Luke and I drop Kathryn back by her house. I was going to stay with her but then Austin texted me asking if he could come talk to me. Of course I said yes because I am honestly still so upset.

Luke and I arrived home to see Austin's car in the driveway, naturally. I get out slowly and sigh. I really have no idea what Austin wants. I am honestly a little scared. I walk over to the door with Austin behind me.

We go to the living room and Luke heads upstairs. No one else is home still. Where is everyone? Austin slowly sits down beside me on the couch.

"So Emily, what's going on?" He says very calmly.

"With what?" I ask as my eyebrows furrow together in confusion.

"Well, first things first, with Michael?" He looks at me.

"Michael and I are dating." I think, I whisper to myself inaudibly.

"What was that last part?" Austin questions.

"I was speaking to myself. It wasn't meant for anyone else." I sigh.

"Okay. So why haven't you been talking to me?" Austin sighs.

"I've been really distracted. If Michael isn't here then Kathryn or Luke want to hang out with me. I also do my school work sometimes believe it or not." I say looking forward into the walkway by the stairs.

"So you can't even call me once a week or talk to me at all?"

"Austin, it takes two people. You could walk up to me and talk to me if you'd like. Just because I've been busy does not mean I've forgotten about you or I've stopped caring. You've been my best friend forever. You know how I am, sometimes I just get distracted for a while. I've always come right back." I continue staring straight ahead.

"Okay, fine. You do always come back. But why would you let Michael take you away from me?"

"Oh my gosh, really? Michael isn't taking me away from you. He's simply my boyfriend. You're simply my best friend. Is there an issue?"

"Yes, Emily. There is an issue. You haven't even talked to me. You know how insecure I am! People always leave. You're the only person who hasn't! How am I supposed to know that you won't leave too?"

"I'm not going anywhere! I've been here since birth. Why would I leave now? I don't even want to leave. You're my best friend! Would you just wake up and realize you're not getting rid of me?!"

Just then I hear the doorbell ring.

"Stay right here." I tell Austin as I exit the room.

I quickly walk to the door and open it. The last person I expected to see right now was just on the other side.

"Hey babe! I just wanted to say I'm so sorry about what happened the other night. I have no idea what came over me. I was being really unreasonable over something really stupid. I honestly shouldn't have even let it bother me because you obviously want to be with me, otherwise you wouldn't be. Please forgive me." Mikey says very quickly.

"Oh Michael, swooping in and making me feel 1,000 times better. Yes of course I will forgive you." I say as I open the door further and let him in.

I quickly place a gentle kiss on his lips then I hear footsteps. I turn around and see Luke halfway down the stairs.

"Michael!" Luke shouts with much excitement. "Wait, is this happy?" Luke looks at me. I nod my head yes. "Michael!" Luke shouts again.

"Luke!" Michael smiles hugging him.
