Help Me (Leo Howard fanfic) - 'Broken' Sequel

First Kiss

Michael's POV

It's been 8 years that Juliana and I have been friends. We both are 14 and we have been friends since we were 6. The dance at NorthVale High was coming up and I was thinking about asking Juliana to go with me as my date. But I never had the courage to.

Will was always eyeing her up and down every time we hung out. She seemed to be more interested in him than me. What am I thinking? I have zero chance of being with her. But she seems happy around me, so I guess I still might have a chance.

Juliana and I were both in clubs after school so we didn't get out until 5:00 pm.

Juliana- Michael, do you mind walking me home?

Michael- Sure...

As we were walking towards the house, we talked about random stuff that no one really cared about. When we got there, she asked me to stay with her for a while...

"Sure"

Juliana- Great! Put your stuff in guest bedroom and meet me outside.

"Ok"

I walked outside, and she had this big blanket set up for us while she layed down, looking at the stars.

Juliana- C'mon Michael!

"Here I come"

We both watched the stars. There was an awkward silence so I started a conversation with her.

"Hey Juliana?"

Juliana- Call me Julie.

"What are your dreams?"

Juliana- I dream about my future. Hopefully I'll have a husband and kids someday. I want to find my Mr. Wright...he doesn't have to be perfect, he just has to love me for who I am...I found so many guys who I thought loved me and cared about me, but they hurt me!

"I'm sorry"

I said as I saw her mesmerizing eyes stared at me.

Juliana- Don't apologize. I know that you wouldn't hurt me. You're different than any other guy, including Will. He tried asking me out and he...he hit me...

I wrapped her in my arms as more tears fell from her beautiful face. Then I did it...I kissed her.
