You're Turning Against Me

It's Slowing Sinking In

"Oh please Michael, leave the girl be! She doesn't deserve your time, I do!" Jay said trying to redirect his attention away from Hailey.
"N-no Jay... I-I can't..." Michael said, his voice starting to shake. Jay walked up to him, and put his arm around Michael's shoulders.
"Oh come on Michael! She moved on to Devin, you should move on too! Who cares about her, right? You chose me over your fian-well ex fiancée" Jay pointed out the facts, and Michael turned around to face him.
"StOP IT JAY!" Michael yelled, and pushed the younger boy back. Jay looked at the older boy, shocked by his sudden action.
"Oh okay... so now you're wondering if you screwed up, huh? Well that sucks cause I doubt she's taking you back anytime soon" Jay said, a smirk playing on his lips.
Michael clenched his fist, and ran towards the café's door. He ran out and looked around for the tall boy with the short girl. They were no where to be found.
Michael ran towards a building and punched the wall repeatedly. He kept doing that until his knuckles started to bleed. He teared up, and looked down at his knuckles.
"Damn it, I DESERVE THIS! I HURT HER SO I DESERVE TO HURT MYSELF!" Michael yelled, and wined up his fist to punch the wall again. Just before he could make contact with the wall again, his fist was taken into someone else's hand.
"LET ME PUNCH TH-" Michael yelled, but was hushed by a voice he never thought he'd hear again.
"Don't do this to yourself Michael... it's not worth it..." Hailey said softly, and Michael spun around and looked at her.
"H-H-Hailey?! I'm so sorry for everything I-"
"I don't want to hear a half assed apology. I'm only here just to tell you it's not worth b-beating yourself up o-over. Ma-make sure that you uh... you-" Hailey stuttered out, but couldn't get the words out.
Michael looked at her, and wanted to press his lips against hers. Hailey looked down, and turned on her heels and started to walk back towards Devin's car.
Michael took her wrist, and pulled her into him and pressed his lips against hers. Hailey pushed him off, and ran back towards Devin's car.
Michael stood there shocked that that just happened. The love of his life pushed him off, instead of kissing him back. He bit his lip, and looked down at his sneakers. Tears fell from his eyes as the realization of how much he screwed up took over him.
He looked at his now bleeding knuckles and shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe his life was falling apart, over his stupid choice.
          Jay walked out of the café and walked over to Michael. He looked at the broken boy, and saw his knuckles were bleeding. He gasped in shocked by the boys actions.
         "Michael did yo-" Jay was cut off by a hurt but also angry Michael.
          "I'm not talking to you right now, or ever for a matter of fact. I'm setting things straight with Hailey, no matter how LONG it takes! I'M GETTING MY GIRL BACK!" Michael yelled as he ran off towards his car, determination taking over his body.
On the other side of the pain, Hailey was shaking in Devin's car as he drove them to a different breakfast place. Devin looked over towards the passenger seat as Hailey looked like she was about to have an panic attack.
Devin pulled over as Hailey started to hyperventilate. She cried hard, as her body shook. Devin ran over to the passenger side, and took of her seat belt.
"Shh shh" Devin said softly, as he placed his hands onto her shoulders. "Slow breathing Hailey" Devin said just above a whisper. "Breathe in...breathe out..." Devin said, and Hailey tried to do that.
Hailey listened to Devin's voice, and tried to slow down her breathing to the way he was talking. Hailey eventually got her breathing back to normal, and Devin smiled softly.
"Good, there ya go beautiful" Devin said softly, and cupped her cheek. Hailey sniffled and placed a kiss onto his cheek.
"T-t-thank you..." Hailey stuttered out softly, and Devin kissed her head.
"No need to thank me, okay? I always want to help you" Devin said and walked back towards the drivers side.
The two drove back onto their way towards the breakfast place. Hailey sighed and felt her phone vibrate. She looked at her phone, and normally she'd smile at the notification she got, but this time she ignored it.
Michael- hey Hailey I want to fix this please text me or call me! I want to meet up over lunch or dinner Hailey PLEASEEEEE!
"Who was that?" Devin asked and Hailey scoffed, and he took the hint. "Oh, uh... let's put on some tunes" Devin said, trying to lighten up the mood. He turned on the radio as the radio station started to introduce the next song.
        "The next song we are going to play, is by the winners of the 2017's summer show Boy Band! The boys are; Sergio Calderon, Chance Perez, Drew Ramos, Brady Tutton, and Michael Conor! Here's "Eyes Closed"!" The lady over the radio said.
         Hailey listened to the song, and Devin kept looking over towards her to see if she was emotionally okay. He then heard her start to sing a bit of the song, which he joined her on.
         "Holy smokes I'm lucky she the hom-" Hailey changed the station just as Michael started to rap. The next station was playing "Just A Dream" by Nelly. One of Hailey's favorite throwback songs.
        She listened to the words, and they all seemed to click, and remind Hailey of Michael. Missing the good times with him, and now that's all over.
          Michael was flipping through the radio stations, and he heard his song playing. He smiled and couldn't believe how far he has come since his first single.
         But for some reason, every word reminded him of Hailey. Maybe because of the past couple years, all he did was think of Hailey as he sang the song. Sure the song was old now, but every lyric still reminded him of her.
         Michael sighed and pulled over and decided to text Hailey, hoping that maybe he'd get a response. He waited a few minutes, and got nothing. He knew he screwed up, but there was no way of fixing this now.
