The Second Choice

Played: Micheals POV

•This chapter takes place in Micheal's point of view when he and Molly were hugging. Basically when Crystal sees them hugging and realizes that she's the second choice.•

I was waiting for Molly in the halls to see what she had to say to me, but she was taking quite a while. I look back at the time at the phone and it's already been six minutes. As I look up she is right in front of me. "Uhm hey" I say pulling the front of my hair to try to calm my nerves.
"Hey" She says looking down. Wow, this is awkward. "You wanted to talk.." I trail off for her and she nods.

She clears her throat still looking down, "Yeah, um I just wanted to say that Michael I- I miss you, when I saw you dancing with Crystal my heart broke into two. I fell asleep crying because of the thought of you being with someone else, a-and I want to be that someone. I want to be with you." She puts her hand on my shoulder and I look at it confused. She sees my reaction and she takes her hand off slowly.

Then she looks to her left and then starts sobbing. Oh shoot, I never know how to do this right.

Um think Michael...I pull her into my arms and she places her hand on my waist as I do to. I try rubbing her back in some sort of comfort as she continues sobbing into my neck. "Molly...I like us just being friends, do you think we can just stay friends." She sobs harder into my neck and I try rubbing her back more. "Or not, maybe just something..." She looks up at me and then wipes her face.

"No, no I understand" She says looking to the left again. And, then walks to her class that's on the right side and leaves. I rub my eyes and look to the left to see Crystal walking the other way with her head down...that's weird.

This whole thing is weird

It's been two weeks, ​two​ and Crystal hasn't even looked my direction nor talk. Did I do something wrong? Why are all her friends glaring at me, I should be glaring at them!

Does she not like me. Oh my gosh she probably doesn't like me...she's been spending a lot of time with this Jonathan kid she always posts on Snapchat. She sees him every weekend. I remember her telling me that her and his parents are best friends, and his sister is very close to her. Of course she would want to be with him and not me.

No she isn't allowed to reject me, I should do it...Yes I should do it.

Then I do it, the one thing I will always regret. I told her I never liked her when all I ever did was obsesse over her. I told her the dance meant nothing, when it was the best night of my life, and I told her that we could just stay friends, because I wouldn't have time to be with her because of my soccer tournaments. But I would make all the time in the world for her, I'd do anything to take her out and see her smile and scrunch her nose.

And she listened and she looked at me like I took away all her happiness. I took her's and my own.

I guess she never really liked me after all.

I guess I was just some second choice.

Ouuu the plot twist😂 So he basically thinks that he's the second choice and Crystal thinks that she's also the second choice when really it's just a BIG misunderstanding between the two. I really hoped you enjoyed this chapter and of course credits to my friend oklovechild for helping me write this chapter!!
