Madi continues to walk, I stupidly follow behind. I'm not sure where we're going, and neither is she.
"Madi, I am sorry. I don't know how much this has to hurt you. I know I've put you through hell. I can't fix it. I can't fix anything anymore. The one thing I want to fix is us, our relationship." My eyes sting as we continue to walk. "I didn't contact you because I couldn't stand to see you cry. I couldn't stand to see what I left behind without telling her I love her. I just couldn't. I couldn't pull myself together. Maybe everyone's right, maybe we're not meant to be. But, even if they are true; we both got what we wanted out of this. Love and sex. I can't believe I was such an idiot to actually fall for someone who doesn't love me back." I mumble the last part and turn the other direction, towards the arena.
"Michael, you're right. We did get what we wanted. But, I want more. I want you to prove to me you actually love me. Yeah, I would've cried if you contacted me. Not because of sadness, but because I would actually be seeing your face. It kills me every night thinking that I did something wrong. Michael, I love you, but I don't want to be the one giving love and not getting love in return." Madi follows behind me now. "You're not an idiot, because I actually fell hard for you. I love you more than you'll ever know. I just don't want to fight. I want you to love me back." Her voice becomes faint, and I don't hear footsteps behind me anymore.
I sigh, and stop. I tightly close my eyes before turning around.
"Madi.." I open them to reveal her standing inches away from me. "Madi..."
"Michael..Michael…"
I want to so badly take the hurt away from her right now. I want to lay her down and show her how much I love her. I want to love her this very moment. I want her.
"I'm so sorry, M&M.." I let a tear fall from my eyes and look at the ground. Moments later, I feel small arms wrap around my neck.
"I'm sorry, too, Mikey. Please, don't cry no more." Madi sniffles, then wipes my tears away with her thumb.
"Only if you don't." I kiss the tear off her cheek and slowly part away.
"I wont." She smiles, and hugs me again.
"Will you give me another chance? That's all I ask." I take her hand in mine and rub her knuckles with my thumb. Her hands are cold and soft.
"Yes, Michael, I'll give you another chance. But, don't ruin this one."
I gladly kiss her lips and pull her closer to me.
She wraps her arms around my neck, and everything begins to fall into place.
My stress is gone, I'm not angry anymore. I smile into the kiss. It's the one thing that keeps me happy.
I don't want to pull apart, but the rain that is coming down forces me too.
"Damn rain." I sigh and look at Madi standing in front of me with her same cute shy smile.
"Why'd you stop?"
"Because, it's raining. Like, pissing the rain." I say pointing out the obvious.
"I've always wanted to kiss in the rain." She clutches my shirt in her hand, and pulls me closer. She wastes no time meeting our lips together.
I smile into the kiss and beg for an entrance. Without acceptance, I squeeze Madi's bum. I instantly get an entrance.
After what feels like forever, we pull apart. Soaking wet.
"Yeah, we should probably return back before we get a cold." Madi laughs.
I entwine our hands together, and we jog back to the arena a few blocks away.
When we enter backstage, everyone gasps.
"What happened to you two?" Calum asks with a laugh.
"Uhm, it's raining. We took the long way back.." I say flipping my hair out.
"I see.."
"We were worried about you two. Did you make up?" Luke and Ashton say.
"Yes, we did." Madi kisses my cheek and smiles. "I'd be lost without him."
"Awh! Our work here is done." Cal, Ash, and Luke give each other high fives.
"I love you, Michael."
"I love you, too, Madi." I kiss her once again. This time, a long slow kiss.

Hey guys. How are you today?
I'm sorry for the lame update. I've got so much going on right now. School starts back Wednesday, I might have to move..it's stressful.
I won't post any next week, except maybe Sunday, Monday and the weekends. School is getting too close. It's my second year of high school, and it's already wearing me out.
Are you happy for Madi and Michael?
Do you think Michael is being 100% honest with Madi as to why he hasn't contacted her?
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, my beautiful readers!
I love you! ♥
Vote, Comment, Share, Enjoy! :)
