I chase Madi down the hall, into the stage area.
"Madi, please." I finally say, out of breath.
"What?" Madi snaps and turns to face me.
"I-Im sorry, okay?"
"Michael, you just did it again! Tell me what you're hiding, and then maybe I can trust you again." Madi looks like she's about to cry.
I puff my cheeks out with air, and sigh. "Trust me, you don't wanna know. It'll ruin us.." My voice cracks as I finish.
"Michael, if you slept with someone, we're definitely over."
"No, it's not that serious. It's bad enough that once I tell you, you'll smack me then leave."
"Tell me, Michael Gordon."
"No. I don't have to." I shrug. I feel like a bad-ass right now. Madi has a temper and an attitude. Once you start with her, she'll let you have it. I guess I feel bad-ass because I'm tempting her.
"Michael, I'm not in the mood to argue. I just want to know." Madi sighs and drops her hand that was once tangled in her hair to her side.
"Uhm...no." I shrug and smile.
"Please?"
"No, Madi. If I don't want to tell you, I don't have to." I say angry. I try not to raise my voice. It scares Madi.
"You must love hurting me, huh? I can't deal with this anymore. I only came here because the other three. They thought if I came, it'd be good for us both. They thought I could fix you, make you yourself again. But, the truth is: I'm an idiot. How could I believe me coming here would make us better? How could I believe I change you back to yourself? How could I be so stupid to believe it? I try to be a good girlfriend. I try to still be a good best friend. I tried to make this work. There's just something missing, and its not coming from me. It's coming from you." Madi has tears falling down her face. I want to punch myself in the face for making her cry.
I grunt and speak, "Madi! Fine, I'll tell you." She's halfway out the door.
She doesn't turn or say a word. She just stops.
"I kissed another girl." I sigh as the regret takes over me. "I was drunk, and..it just happened."
Madi doesn't say anything and just walks out the door.
I've really messed up this time.

Madi leaves today, and we're dropping her off at the airport.
"Madi, don't leave. I'll miss you." Ashton says pouting.
"D'aww. Ashy, I have to leave. I'll see you when tour is over with, won't I?"
"Yes, but..that's too far away..Please, stay."
"Ashton, I've already stayed two nights. I only took three off work. I have to go back."
"Fuck work. Come be the second vocalist." Ashton smiles wide.
"I love you." Madi giggles and tightly hugs him.
She hasn't spoken to me since last night. I tried to talk, she wouldn't answer.
Madi says all her goodbyes to everyone. Then, she reaches me.
"Bye, Madi." I say watching her as her eyes roam around the place.
"Bye, Michael." Madi faintly smiles and walks away.
As I turn around to walk to the car, I feel arms around my stomach. At first, I thought it was a fan. I smile when I know who it is.
"I love you, Michael." Madi whispers against my back.
"I love you, too, Madi." I turn and take her in my arms, kissing her head.
When its time to board her plane, she lets go.
"Please, don't hurt anyone else like you did me. They deserve to be loved the right way." Madi kisses our cheeks, and boards her plane.
I glimpse up at her before they close the plane door to see her crying. It hurts me. I think I'm about to cry.
She smiles and waves before the plane takes off.
The only thing that bothers me is I don't know if we're over, or together.
"Well, looks like you're a single man again," Luke pats my back and walks away with a crying Ashton.
"Sorry, Michael." Calum hugs me before walking away.
"Yeah, me too." I say to myself before crying. "Me too."
I get to the car, and its just sniffles.
"Calum, why'd you talk us into this!? You knew we'd cry!" Ashton says.
"Because, I really thought she'd better Michael."
"Yeah, well, she didn't." I say as Luke drives off.
I can't believe I messed up again. It was my last chance..

Hey, guys!
So, as you know; School starts back soon (I'm supposed to be asleep in bed..sh!).
That means, slow updates. Maybe once or twice a week. Or once or twice every other week. I promise, I will somehow update this story. It may get crappier as I write because school, stress, etc. but, I will update.
This will more than likely be the last update for a while. :'( I hate that.
(I'm not sure anyone reads this or cares anyway..I don't blame them.)
What grade are you in?
I love you!! ♥♥
I hope you liked this update!
Vote, Comment, Share, Enjoy! :)
