{Alanis}

I finally get home and walk up to my room. I'm so tired. I've cried a lot today and it really wears you out.

I take off my shoes and lay down. My phone buzzes and I see a text from Michael.

From: Michael at 5:44pm
Alanis. I really need to talk to you, please.
To: Michael at 5:56pm
Okay. Tomorrow at school meet me by my locker.

I timidly send the text.

I drift off to sleep.

I walk off the bus, shaking from being nervous about talking to Michael. I see Marina right outside the school, I'm surprised she's not with Luke.

"Hey, are you doing okay are sweety?" She asks me.
"I don't know. I'm going to go talk to Michael right now. I'll talk to you later Marina."

I walk over to my locker, to see him already waiting there. He sees me and his eyes light up and he begins to half smile.
"Hey Precious. I missed you so much." He leans down to hug me. I hold my hand out to stop him.
"Please don't call me Precious. I just came here to give you a chance to explain yourself. You have two minutes."

I choke up at my last sentence, it hurts to even look at him. It takes everything in me not to kiss him right now.

"Okay. Alanis, I love you so much. You mean so much to me. The way you wiggle your eyebrows at me when you get cheeky. When you laugh your eyes wrinkly. Your smile lights up my entire world. I do not want us to end. I don't want us to end because I'm stupid. I'm so fucking stupid and made a terrible mistake, but I'm gonna make mistakes. I regret it so much and I swear Alanis, it will never happen again." His eyes are full of tears and his nose twitches.

"Yea. That's what you said last time." I whisper, trying to keep from crying but fail. I start to walk away but he grabs my wrist. His touch causes my arm to twitch, partly because he squeezed my cut.

He pulls up my sleeve and sees my cuts. Tears fall from his eyes and he seems stunned.
"Alanis—" I yank my hand away and pull down my sleeve.
"Goodbye Michael."

I realize class already started and we were the only two. I quickly walk away from him, using my sleeve to wipe the running makeup from my eyes.

I walk into class and snake my way to the back corner of the class.

3rd period ends, which means it's lunch. I don't want to eat. I look over and see Michael with Haley, Calum, and a few other of his friends. My heart feels like it breaks when I see Haley touch his arm.

I lay my head in my arms on the table. I feel someone's hand on my back, I turn to see it's Chance. "Hey." He says sitting down. "Okay."
I stare over and Michael's table again. He doesn't seem very happy. My breathe is cut short and my eyes tear up when I see Michael put his hand on Haley's stomach.

Chance looks over to their table and sighs. "Stop looking over their. Focus on me, okay?"
"Okay."

Soon after, Ashton sits with us. He does some weird handshake with Chance that ends with them bumping shoulders. I laugh at how close they are and weird they are together.

"I love you guys" I sniffle.
"Love you too, girl" Chance says.
"I know." Ashton just smiles and looks at me.

We sit quiet for a moment. The bell rings.

"Ew I have to go to calculus. I'll see you guys later."

I walk out.
