Beside you ||M.C

3. Don't cry

I ran and ran until I was out of breath and thought I was far enough from the school.

No matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't get over the fact the he kissed that whore.

I mean sure, we weren't dating anymore, hell we haven't even seen each other for three years.  Three years. I still couldn't believe what he did that.

I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't hear Michael running behind me, until he grabbed my arm and spinned  me around.

"Oh Maddie," he said with a soothing voice as he tried to hug me.

"Let go of me" I yelled, trying to push him off.

"Just let me explain, please Maddie" he replied with a pleading voice.

"There's nothing to explain, Michael" I snapped.

He gave me one of his puppy-dog looks, which he knew I couldn't resist.

"Five minutes Michael, you have five minutes."

He sighed in relief, "When you left, I was heartbroken. I couldn't imagine a life without you. I didn't eat or sleep for like a week, and then i just couldn't take it anymore. Everywhere I went, everything I did, It reminded me of you"

He looked at me with those big green eyes that I love.

"One day, I convinced my mom to move here" He looked around before continuing.

"I tried to get over you the only way I knew how to, I drank and slept with every girl I could and, every night, weather there was a girl sleeping next to me or not, I'd wish I was beside you.." He looked down and then grabbed my hands.

"I know it's been a while, But I still, really want to be with you Madison." He whispered looking in my eyes.

"Michael, I- you know I love you but... remember everything my mom did just to keep us apart?" I sobbed.

"I'd rather just be friends than my mom finding out and taking me away from you again. I love you Michael I really do but I guess we weren't meant to be" I freed my hands from his grip and tried to walk away.

He grabbed my hand choked out, "No Maddie, I let you go once and I don't want to do it again."

I looked at his eyes and saw a tear roll down. "No don't cry Mikey" I said wiping the tear away with my sleeve. "One day you'll find someone better than me, I'm not worth your tears"

"That's the thing though, I don't want anyone else. To me no one could be better than you. Why can't you see? I want you and only you. I'm in love with you Maddison. Those there years without  you? they were hell. I can't be without you Maddison. " By the time he finished saying this, it was pouring rain and we were both in tears.

I stood there crying, not knowing What to do until it hit me.

We're don't just love each other, we're in love with each other.

Since I was a few feet away from him I ran towards him and threw myself at him hugging him, never wanting to let go.

He did not hesitate to hug me back.

"I love you so much Maddie." He whispered.

"I love you more Mikey " I whisper.

We stood there, in each others arms for a while before he broke the silence.

"Do you want to go back to my house and dry off?"

"Sure."

We walked back to school to get his car.

Once we got to his house, he let me borrow a sweat shirt and sweat past, and put or wet clothes in the drier.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?"

I nodded.

I burst out laughing once I realized What movie he put on.

"What?" He said.

"Mean girls. Really?" I said teasingly.

"Hey, I like that movie Okay?" He said pouting adorably.

We cuddled on the couch, and half way through the movie he started attacking my face and neck with kisses.

I giggled and tried to push him off the couch but instead of just pushing him off, we both ended up on the floor.

We burst out laughing and he tried tickilng me but stopped when someone opened the door.

"Michael? Maddison is that you?" His mum said dropping her bags.

I got up from the from the floor and ran to hug her.

"Oh Maddie You have no idea how much I missed you" she said smiling.

"I've missed you so much Karen"

She dragged me to the couch and started asking me so many questions.

"How are you?"

"What are you doing here?"

"How's your mom?  Does she know You're here?"

"Are you and my son dating again?"

"I'm good thank you, I moved here a few days ago, good and no, and well" I looked at Michael who was still on the floor.

"To answer your last question, no we're not dating."

Karen looked disappointed when I said that.  And I'm pretty sure I heard Michel say "yet."

To be honest I don't know how to feel.

Happy, sad, mad, exited?

"I'll leave you two love birds- I mean I'll leave you two alone now" she said smiling sheepishly.

As soon as she left there was an awkward silence.

"What time is it?" I asked, not wanting to be in silence.

"4:32"

"Fuck. I gotta get home."
