(Y/n)'s POV
I walked down the street to my house, luckily it was only a block away from Michael's house. I'm still upset about what Jeremy said, I never thought he would actually say something like that, I guess I was wrong. I walked into my house and saw my mom in the kitchen, "how was the party?"
All I said was good so she wouldn't bother me anymore, I ran to my room and locked the door so no one would bother me. I face planted on my bed and scrolled through old photos Jeremy and I. Heh that one is the best.

Summer
Jeremy, Michael and I all made our way to the beach. Michael rushed to the perfect sand spot in his opinion to start on his sand castle. I sat down on my towel and pulled out my music.
"Aren't ya gonna swim?" Jeremy asked as he sat down next to me.
"I don't know, I don't really swim much. Also there is a lot of people here."
"So....?"
"She doesn't likely to show off her body Jere, she thinks that she is fat and such which is not true. Come on ya gotta show those curves to the world so they can see your beauty!"
I covered my face with my hands, "Ugh."
I felt Jeremy pull me up, "Come on, we are going swimming."
Michael smirked at me and I groaned, "fine fine. Michael you're coming too though." I took off my swim shirt to reveal my swimsuit. I saw Jeremy's eyes on me and I felt my face heat up.
"Come love birds let's go!"
"We're not lovebirds Michael!" Jeremy three sand at Michael, before Michael made his move Jeremy ran towards he ocean. I giggled and helped Michael chase him down. We kept throwing sand at each other as we were in the shallow part of the ocean.
Instead of sand I picked up a piece of seaweed and chucked it at Jeremy.
"Oof!" He feel on his butt and I chuckled as I helped him up. He quickly placed a starfish on my cheek.
"Dammit jere, ya got me! I've been hit!" We both chuckled and stood up. We looked into each other's eyes for a bit until we heard Michael's voice, "photo shoot!"
Jeremy and I turned towards him, who had my phone in his hand. I made a silly face and Jeremy smiled and did peace signs. There was one where he smiled brightly and I did a peace sign smiling just as bright. The whole 'photo shoot' time jere and I held hands, and it seemed like a perfect day. I'm so happy I came with these nerds.
"Aaaand done! Here ya go!" Michael handed me my phone and I let go of Jeremy's hand to check the photos. Jeremy peeked over my shoulder and looked at the pics with me, "Can you send those to me?"
"Sure thing." I smiled.
We spent the rest of the day swimming and being ourselves. We even built a giant sand castle which Michael was super happy about, he kept taking photos of it, that is until someone accidentally crashed into it trying to hit a volleyball. Yeah Michael was really upset but we cheered him up with ice cream. That truly was the best day ever! Especially when Jeremy and I were together.

I smiled at the picture, tears escaping my eyes. He probably deleted all pictures that include Michale and me. His news photos are probably just him and Brooke. I groaned as I thought that. More tears escaped my eyes.

That night I just stayed locked in my room all night just crying and sobbing about Jeremy. I sighed and tried to fall asleep, quickly doing so thanks to my sobs and cries.

Jeremy's POV
I slammed my bedroom door as I walked inside my room. Yeah I'm angry okay?! How could I say that to her?! She looked so....hurt. Damn what is wrong with me? I fell face first onto my bed, immediately grabbing my phone. I went to my photos app and looked for the album with the name '(y/n) 💜'. Yeah stupid name I know, and I chose the Purple Heart since I'm blue and Michael is red, blue and red make purple.....oh wow that sounds like Michael and I had sex and gave birth to (y/n)....gross. Anyway, I opened up the album and scrolled through thousands of photos of just (y/n) and (y/n) plus me.
Yes Michael was in some, photobombs, the album with all of us is 'p1, p2, & p3'. I heard my equips voice as I looked at the photos, "please tell me you're not gonna jack off again because of that."
"I'm not! Jeez. Also what do you mean by 'that'?"
"Come in Jeremy! Can't you see? You're trying to be cool, stop falling for that waste of oxygen. Just forget about her, you're with Brooke."
"She's not my type though.... and you said we will find a way for me to be with (y/n)....though it doesn't seem to be working."
"Listen Jeremy. Do you want to be cool or a nobody?"
"C-Cool."
"Then stop focusing on her and focus on your popularity! Just forget about her. You can start by getting rid of those dumb photos."
He pointed his index finger at my favorite picture of (y/n) and I, the homecoming one, she was gorgeous that night. As I zoned out I noticed I started to trash all of the photos and albums involving Michael and (y/n).
"Be more chill Jeremy, they are not going to help. They're just going to pull you down with them. You have to be more chill."
I looked at the homecoming photo, I felt tears well up. I clicked the trash can, took a shaky breath, i deleted the photo.
"Nice work Jeremy. Now, let's focus on you and Brooke. Same with you and the popular group."
I nodded and started to collect all the photos of the popular people and me, making sure they were the main focus of photos on my phone.

Im really sorry Michael.....I'm truly sorry (y/n), but this is how it is. I need to be more chill.
