Felicity's POV

Our whole group was laughing in synch as a response to Ashton tripping over the step in Michael's driveway. "That wasn't funny!" Ash yelled, playfully pushing Luke and Calum. Michael jogged ahead and pulled his key out, unlocking the door, "Obviously it was, considering we all laughed." I giggled at Michael's reasoning.

Ashton slumped his shoulders down and crossed his arms. He pretended to be mad, but you could tell he was holding back a laugh. "Alright, everyone in," Michael motioned dramatically. We all filed into his simple house, me being the last person in the line while Michael held the door. As I stepped up onto the hardwood floor, Michael released the door and walked in behind me, throwing his right arm over my shoulder, and using his left to reach across my body and place on my hip.

"So, are you as excited as I am to be out of that hell hole?"

(AN:By the way, all the boys in this look like how they do in real life right now. It's more simple and less confusing to think about to me lolol.)

Michael ran his small hands through his bright red locks. I giggled and nodded, then replaced his hands with mine as I made his already messy hair even messier.

"Hey hey, watch it!" He pulled my hands away and sarcastically threw his hands up in defense. Michael stopped and smiled at me simply, before pulling me waist and whispering, "I need to talk to you", in my ear very gently. I nodded. Holding up my index finger as an expression for him to wait, I glided my body over to Onyx, slipping my hands onto her shoulers.

"I'll be back, okay?" Onyx peeked behind me, and saw Michael looking down at his feet which were shuffling against a throw rug. Her eyes looked back at me and a sly smirk formed on her pretty, round face.

I rolled my eyes and playfully slapped her shoulder and walked over to Michael, who grabbed my arm and pulled me around the corner into the dining room.

"What's wrong?" Michael said plainly, without giving me a topic to talk about.

I stared at him and rolled my hand in a circle, motioning for him to explain.

"When you hugged me today," He started, sighing as he spoke, "you hugged me like how you do, whenever you talk about Mazy."

"What does that even mean?"

"I don't know, you just, when you talk about her, you press your whole body to me, and cross your arms over my neck. Any other time, you go under my arms. It's different."

I tried to recap the moment the bell rang to leave, and sighed when my mind remembered. It was certainly a weird thing for him to notice.

"I just, I wish she could have been there, yuh know? I wish we could have graduated together. God, I'm so stupid."

Michaels eyes slimmed and he opened his mouth to from an "O" shape.

"You aren't stupid, Felicity. It's not like it's your fault."

I flinched at his words, whimpering a little at the thought of it. I never knew why I hadn't told anyone what really happened. I thought it was just because I was embarrassed, but also afraid people would find me a horrible person, or something like that.

Michael looked at me, even more puzzled. "W-what's wrong?"

I sighed, locking my fingers together in front of me. "Look, it's nothing, okay? You'd be just as upset if you knew what I knew."
