Yours, Mine and Ours (H.S. / Interracial)

Chapter 13

"I can't believe you're really crying over this damn show" Mike muttered as I continuously wiped my tears. I couldn't control them with this show.

I gave him the middle finger laughing "Let me be, This is us is the best show ever. This show is amazing, my emotions are all over the place" I laughed through the tears as the show ended.

This show always messed me up.

I sighed grabbing my lemonade taking a few sips as he sat there quiet watching me. Once, I put it back down I looked over to him smiling.  "Now that i'm all catched up, how's everything. How's working and stuff?" I asked making him laugh and sit up shrugging. I could tell he was happy, just didn't want to sound overly excited. Men.

"It's been good, I really can't complain. Things have literally worked out better than expected. What about you?" I smiled doing the same thing. "Same, things have been good. Nice little house, great job... what can I complain about?" I laughed and he chuckled nodding.

I don't know if it was just me but, there was something... awkward. Last time we hung out like this was good then went to extremely bad. I don't know why I was thinking about it but, it was there. I didn't hate him, I didn't even feel anger at all it just... felt awkward.

I was hoping it would get back to the way it was though. The friendship and just hanging out. That's all I needed at the moment and he seemed perfectly okay with it.

"So...how are you and Harry?" he asked and I froze up instantly going back to that night with Demi. I didn't even know where to start or if I should. Opening up the subject of Harry would bring nothing but, more questions, more confusion... more of things that I wasn't sure I wanted to handle right now or even at all.

So I lied.

"Good. Everything is-" "Cut the shit Sky" he said all nonchalant while looking over to me. We stared at each other in silence while I tried to think of something to say. Even though he was calm, I knew he was still serious. There were only a few times he said cut the bull and when he did, he wasn't joking. He knew before I even said anything but, I could still try to get out of it.

"You guys got into a fight or broke up didn't you?" he asked and I shook my head making he scoff laying his head on the top of the couch. I didn't know what to do.

I didn't want it to seem like I was just trying to hang out with him because Harry wasn't in the picture at the time but, how could I even explain it without it seeming that way?

"You two broke up?" he asked and I sighed looking away pulling my legs to my chest nodding. I looked down to my knees just wanting to say it. What was the point when he knew the truth. I just had to explain it the best way I could.

"We did but, before you think anything just kno-" "That the only reason you kept your distance was out of respect for Harry. I know you were just trying to avoid problems, don't worry about that. What matters is if you're okay" he whispered making my mouth drop in surprise.

Mike was a great guy but, to just understand my side without me even trying to explain was alleviating.

I nodded giving him a small smile "I'll be fine. It kind of sucks feeling like you lost not only someone you connect with on a intimate level but, just a close friendship too" I whispered looking over to him not even feeling anger, just sadness right now. We weren't even together for that long but, I felt like two people I cared deeply became nothing without a good reason but stupid assumptions.

"What happen... if you don't mind me asking" I shrugged "He wasn't happy we were friends or even becoming that. Thought somehow we would get back together or something" I explained and his face scrunched up "Really?" he asked and I nodded making him roll his eyes.
