It's a Crazy Universe (A MinecraftUniverse Love Story)

Chapter 11: The Highway Doesn't Care

A/N: Yosift my sexy cacti! I'm back with another chapter! I don't really have much to say for this author's note. The bottom one is gonna be longer possibly. So, please read this.

"Bet your windows rolled down and your hair's pulled back, and I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast. You're trying not to think about what went wrong. You're trying not to stop till you get where you're going. You're trying to stay awake, so I bet you turned on the radio, and the song goes,"I sang into the mic with Mitch standing next to me. I needed something to do, so Mitch suggested a cover.

"I can't live without ya, I can't live without ya baby. I can't live without ya, I can't live without ya baby, yeah baby." He sang perfectly, the same as usual. It felt nice to just hang back and sing with him. It'd been forever since it happened.

"The highway won't hold you tonight. The highway don't know you're alive. The highway don't care if you're all alone but I do, I do." He looked into my eyes and smiled as he sang the next part.

"The highway won't dry your tears. The highway don't need you here. The highway don't care if you're coming home, but I do, I do." As he sang, I could only think of one person. Jason. The way he looked when I hit him, it just... didn't seem right.

"I bet you got a dead cellphone in your shotgun seat. Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me. You're trying not to let the first tear fall out. You're trying not to think about turning around. You're trying not to get lost in the sound, but that song is always on so you sing along."I kept trying to focus, but my mind kept going back to that one moment. I didn't even let him say anything...

"I can't live without ya, I can't live without ya baby. I can't live without ya, I can't live without ya baby, yeah baby."Mitch nudged me a little, helping me come back to reality.

"The highway won't hold you tonight. The highway don't know you're alive. The highway don't care if you're all alone but I do, I do."

"The highway won't dry your tears. The highway don't need you here. The highway don't care if you're coming home, but I do, I do. I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby. I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby oh baby."

"The highway don't care. The highway don't care. The highway don't care, but I do, I do."

"I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby. I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby oh baby."

"The highway don't care. The highway don't care. The highway don't care, but I do, I do. The highway don't care. The highway don't care. The highway don't care, but I do, I do."

"I can't live without ya, I can't live without ya baby."

Once the singing was over, Mitch stopped the recording and stopped me. "Cloe, are you alright?" I looked up at him and fake smiled.

"Of course I am!" I answered with a smile. "I'm totally fine." He pulled over a couple of chairs and had me sit.

"What's on your mind?" I sighed and looked at my phone. Winter had texted me asking if I wanted to hang out.

"It's nothing Mitch! I swear!" I said as I replied to Winter.

"Who ya talking to?" He asked as he looked over my shoulder.

"Oh, Winter was wondering if I wanted to hang out while she was in town." I told him. He slowly nodded his head, not fully believing me for some reason. "We're gonna be out for a little while, she's gonna pick me up in about a half an hour or so." He nodded his head and went to the kitchen. "Oh, who's spacy now?" I asked as I followed him.

"I was just thinking about the Jason thing..." He said, trailing off towards the end.

"What about it?" I asked, growing more tense.

"I just... Don't think Jason would do that." Mitch answered.

"Well I didn't think so either, but look what happened!" I yelled back.

"And how do you know exactly what you said?!" He yelled back.

"Are you saying I'm lying?" I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks. "Do you think I'm lying about seeing Jason playing tonsil tennis with Anima?"

"That's not-" I cut him off.

"You know what Mitch," I said, looking him in the eyes. "If you don't believe me, then I'm leaving." I walked over to the door and grabbed my car keys and a coat. He put a hand on my arm. "Get. Your. Hand. Off. Me." I replied with venom in each word.

"Listen to me Cloe!" He replied, pulling me around. "I believe what you saw, but I don't know if that's exactly what happened!"

"You know how that song said the highway doesn't care?" I asked. He slowly nodded his head. "It probably cares more than you, bastard." And with that, I ran out the door, and down the hall. Tears rolled down my face as I got into the elevator. Once I did, I ran into a familiar person. And when I say ran into, I mean literally, ran into.

"I-I'm so sorry!" He said quickly. "I didn't know I was looking and... Cloe?" He asked, not believing his eyes.

"Oh my god Matt." I managed to get out. I did choke on a couple words though. I basically helped him up, pushed the button, and hugged him. He rubbed my back soothingly.

"Shh... Shh... It's gonna be alright Clo." He told me in a quiet voice. "What happened?"

"Me and Mitch got in a fight, and he was an asshole, and now I'm mad at him, but I don't want to be." He gently kissed the top of my head. "I mean, he called me a liar, and it hurt me, and it's just like... Ugh." I couldn't find the words to describe what I meant.

"It'll be okay." He whispered soothingly. He continued to stroke my hair until we got to the lobby. We stepped away from each other, and I pulled out my car keys.

"I guess I'll see you later." I said as I pulled my hood up. It was raining like a bitch outside.

"I'll visit tomorrow, okay?" Matt asked, still kind of shocked by the sight of my crying. I had never cried in front of him before, and I didn't mean to this time.

"Yeah." I said with a small smile. "And don't worry, I promise that I'll be fine." He sighed.

"Just please, please, please be careful while you drive." Matt pleaded.

"I just... Don't know where else to go..." I trailed off towards the end. He simply laughed. "Why're you laughing?"

"You could come stay with me." Matt offered. I thought about this for a second. "We shared the same bed once, this won't be as bad." I smiled and laughed a little. "There's that smile I love. Now c'mon, what do you say? I have a guest room you can stay in."

"Fine, I'm in." I said with a smile. And with that, we left for Matt's hotel.

A/N: Oh noes! A fight! Between Mitch and Cloe! Now, I have a few choices for the next chapter:

A. A flashback of Cloe's past that focuses on her relationship with Matt

B. Cloe hanging out with Matt

C. Mitch's POV of what happened for the fight
