Rose's POV

I've been with Michael for almost three months and they've been the best. He's made me into a better person and I could be more thankful for that, but I wish I had gotten the full story when him and I started dating. I thought that him and Carly had just broken up, but I find out that's not all of the story. He decided to tell me the night of the dance and I thought that Carly wasn't going to show up until I see her drinking at the water fountain. I walk up to her and as she takes I drink I begin to speak. 

"Can we talk for a second?" She turns around and is almost surprised to see me there. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you I just-"

"No, it's okay. What do you need?"

"Can we talk outside? With the music and everything-"

"Yeah sure." We both walk outside and stand near the steps. "What did you want to talk about?" 

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything. I had no idea what happened between you and Michael. He didn't tell me until tonight and if I would have known, I never would have done anything. I know that I've done things to hurt you in the past, but this is something I would never do."

"So why are you telling me this?" 

"Because I feel awful. I never wanted to break you two up and I want you to know that."

"Rose, it's okay. You're clearly making him happy and that's all I want for him. So go in there and make him happy."

"There's one thing that I want to ask before I go."

"Okay, what is it?" 

"I want you and I to be friends. I totally understand if you don't want to, but I want to start over and have a clean slate if that's okay with you."

"I think that'd be really nice. Now go and make him happy." She says with a smile. I smile back at her and run back into the building. I find Michael and pull him into a tight hug. 

"What's this for?" He asks. I let go of him and smile. 

"You make me so damn happy Michael." 

"You make me happy too Rose." I smile and pull him into a kiss.
