Michael's P.O.V - 

We watched the Gonzalez home videos. Teresa fell asleep in her grandma. Her grandma got up and laid Teresa's head on me.

I have her a puzzled looked. "She's going to get mad."
Her grandma shook her head.
I shrugged my shoulders and kept watching the home videos.

An hour or two pass and Teresa opened her eyes. She lifted her head and turned it to me.

"You're a great pillow." She said with a sleepy voice. She patted my chest and got a bit closer to me. She laid her head on my chest and fell back asleep.

Mr. Gonzalez chuckled. "Why don't you take her to her old room."
I nodded and gently picked her up. I carried her in my arms bridal style. I walked to her room and laid her down.

As I was laying her down she wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me with her.

I tried to take her arms away from my neck.
"No." She said with her eyes closed.
"Teresa I have to go."
"No."
She moved to a side and pulled me to lay next to her. I chuckled.
"I'm only going to stay till your deeply asleep."
"No your not." She said softly.

She cuddles to me falling once again asleep. I looked at the ceiling waiting for her to deeply asleep. I glanced over at her and saw her deeply asleep. I slowly moved away from her and placed a pillow in my place. I got up and looked around her old room.

I saw on her small desk she had a picture frame of prom pictures of her brother, Adriana and herself laughing and smiling. I smiled to myself remembering how beautiful she looked. I looked for a sticky note on her desk and when I found one pack of sticky notes. I saw that it had written on it.

I pulled out the chair sat down and started to read it.

Sticky note #1
Don't cry. He's happily in love

Sticky note #2
He moved on. Move on as well.

Sticky note #3
Don't forget his love.

Sticky note #4
Try to be happy.

Sticky note #5
Life gets better.

I kept reading a few of the sticky notes. I looked up and saw Anthony in the doorway.
"She was crazy for you." He said as he looked at Teresa sleeping then looked at me.
"I'm still crazy about her."
"Then why?"
"Why what?!"
"If you were crazy for her why did you end up with Lisa? Why didn't you try to win her back when she was with Randy?"
I sighed. "I married Lisa because I thought I was in love with her. I saw her happy just to know she wasn't at all. She thought I was happy when we both were feeling the same."
"It's not too late." He said and left the room.

I sat in the chair for a minute or two. I started to look for an empty sticky note and write down 'goodnight. You have my number don't hesitate in calling or texting.' I got the tricky note and placed it on the door. I softly closed the door and went downstairs.

Adriana was feeding her baby and everyone was watching the last home video.
"Goodnight," I told everyone as I made my way to the door.
"Micheal wait!?" I hear the voice of Mrs. Gonzalez said. I turned around.
"Stay for dinner then you can go home." Teresa grandmother said
"I don't know," I said softly
"Come on your family," Mr.Gonzalez told me.

I nodded. Everyone got up and made their way to the dining room as Ms. Gonzalez made her way to the kitchen. We all sat down and ate dinner. I stayed a few minutes more after dinner then left.
