Ocean love

Chapter nine

Michael's POV

I woke up the next morning and the realization that last night actually happened crashed down on me.

I slept with the girl that I love and broke her heart all in the span of three hours.

I had to find her and apologize to her. I couldn't let her think that I don't love her. I couldn't let her think that I walked all over her love. She is my love, my boo, my everything, and if I let her believe that I don't love her, and that I was using her then I would be the biggest fool to have ever walked this earth.

I quickly got up from bed, and got dressed. I quickly brushed my teeth, and grabbed my phone, and walked out the door as I powered walked all the way to Alicia, and Dane's room.

I passed several people who tried to get my attention, but I ignored all of them. I was on a mission to get my girl.

My heart beat heavily in my chest as I stood outside their door. I took a deep breath and knocked.

I was expecting Alicia to answer the door, but her husband Dane did. "Michael, hey. What are you doing here man?" He asked, but I could tell he knew why.

"I need to see Mary. I need to let her know that I love her. I need her to know that I am the biggest dick in the world, and that I regret everything I have done to her." I said in a rush.

"Dude, you've fucked up majorly. That woman seriously has been put through shit because of you, but I believe that you love her. I mean it is written all over your face, but I have to tell you man, she's not here. She has already taken a boat back to the airport to go home."

My heart crashed in my chest as he said this. "No...."

"Yea, Alicia went with her, and she should be back any minute, oh there she is." He said.

I looked behind me and was shocked when I received a slap to the face. "I swear Michael you are the dumbest asshole I have ever met. Why did you do that to my friend? She is the best thing that has ever happened to you and you let her slip through your fingers."

I rubbed my chin roughly. "I know. I am the biggest fool. I love her so much, and I regret everthing I have done. Alicia has she let yet?"

"They are taking off in a few minutes, but..."

I took off running down the hallway after she said that. I had to get to her before she left.

As I got closer I saw the boat pull off. If only I could make it, but I was too late. I watched as the boat take away my love.

I sat down on the bench and put my head in my hands. I was too late.

Mary's POV

Tears flowed down my face as my heart broke. I was on a boat on my way back to the plane station so that I can go home. I knew my time on that cruise was up, and I knew that my heart would break even more if I stayed longer.

I stayed with Alicia that night after everything happened, and I knew that I couldn't stay the rest of the trip in her room, because that wouldn't be fair to her, so I scheduled an early boat ride, and now I am gone.

As the boat pulled up to the boat ramp I looked back at the far away cruise ship, and felt a single tear slip down my face as I whispered, "Goodbye, Michael, my love."

Two Months Later

"Welcome students to a new year at school. My name is Ms. Phillips, and I will be your home room teacher this year. So that means you report to me if you have any problems." I told my students with a heavy heart.

This summer was really bad. I was depressed and lonely, and couldn't seem to get Michael out of my head.

I actually hoped that he would come after me, but as it turned out he didn't. I knew now that I needed this. I needed to have closure on the situation. I needed it so that I could finally try to move to someone new. Even though it was going to be hard I knew that I had to try.

"Okay, now let's go around and play a question game. I want you guys to ask me a question, and I will answer it, and in return I get to ask you a question and you answer me. Okay, lets start on the left side of the ......." I trailed off as I saw him walk through the door, and take the first seat on the left.

"Yes, Ms. Phillips do you believe that a man could be forgiven for all of the bad stuff that he has done to the woman that he loves?" I fought tears as my chest started to burn.

"It depends." I said. My voice wavering.

"On what?" He asked. With a sad look in his eyes.

"On whether or not he means it." I said in tears.

Michael got up swiftly from the desk as the students started whispering.

He walked towards me and grabbed my waist, and pulled me towards his body. "I mean it, I love you so much." He then grabbed me and kissed me, and in that moment I knew, that he loved me back, and that we would get through every problem that we had, because I loved him, and he loved me.
