chapter sixteen

John's POV:

The boys and I have been organising my apology to Michelle for a day now, Riley agreed to bringing her to Studio A for me today, there I'll explain myself, I'm praying that she forgives me. I asked James if I should write a song for her, but he asked instead if there was a song that is a memory for her. So I decided to sing You and Me for her, I smiled at the memory. I am still angry at my past self for running out, even if that's all I've really been doing all my life, running away. I hope that changes one day, it gets tiring, exhausting even. Maybe me doing this for Michelle is a sign that I'm changing? Has Michelle changed me? I felt panicked a bit, thinking about it. I look back, shutting my eyes. I remember all the times that I actually allowed physical contact, wow. Michelle has changed me, I felt a little bit scared, but happy as well. I actually felt happy, again, wow.

I wake up when the boys come in. "You ready?" They ask me, I smile and nod.

Michelle's POV:

Riley has been smiling nonstop for a whole day now. We were in the shopping center on Saturday, and I kept noticing her sneaking glances at me and smiling. She still hasn't told me what John told her on Thursday.

I really want to know, though. I don't like people hiding things from me. As we are sitting at a cafe waiting for our food to arrive, she turns to me. "Michelle, today there's going to be a surprise for you in Studio A, so after we have food, we are going to look for a nice dress and get you ready, okay?" She tells me, I frown. A surprise? Oh no. "Um, okay?" I say with a questioning tone. She smiles and nods. "Great, so, have you watched the rest of Game of Thrones yet?" She asks, I narrow my eyes, she changed the subject. "No, I haven't." I reply, she glares at me. "It's been how long? Come on, you have to finish the season so we can talk about it!" She demands, I roll my eyes. "Yes, yes, yes. I get it, you're a diehard fangirl and you need your best friend to scream with you." I smile at her, she grins and nods. "Exactly."

Riley held out a black floral dress for me to look at. I glance it over then take it to try it on.

I come out of the changing room and when Riley looks at me she smiles. "I like it, you look great in it, Michelle."

Riley rushes me home, putting the dress in the wash. "Alright, let's get you ready." She says determinedly. I roll my eyes, smiling slightly. As my dress dried, she applied makeup.

She grabbed silver heels for me to wear. "Is it really this important for me to look like this?" I ask as I get changed in my room, her standing on the other side of the door. "Of course! It's necessary." She demands, I chuckle. I stepped out of my room, she looks me over, a warm smile on her lips. "You are so beautiful, Michie." She tells me, I force a smile, John usually called me Michie, I tried not to think about him, it would kill my mood.

Riley ushered me back into my room, curling my hair so it hung around my shoulders. As she passed me my bag, I hear my dad get home. My eyes widened. "Time to go, now, now, now!" I push her out of the room and down the stairs. "Dad I'm going out!" I shout, about to close the front door when my father calls out my name. "Michelle come here, I want to tell you something." He sounded sober, I frown. "Wait here for me?" I ask Riley, she smiles and nods. "Good luck." She touches my arm, I close my eyes and nods. "Thanks." I walk back inside, I see my father sitting on the couch, looking sombre. He looks up. "Sit down." He gestures to the couch. I sit next to him warily. "You look stunning, darling." He smiles sadly at me, I thank him, now very worried. "Dad, what's going on?" I ask him, scared.
