Maybe it was fate

Chapter 32

"Michael i cant do this anymore!" Morgan sobbed. They were in another one of their fights and all of us were in Rileys room listening to it.

"Cant do what anymore Morgan? Act like we're not a couple all the time and not give me a valid explanation? Cant fake it anymore? Cant forget our past and everything you're leaving? Cant.."

"Shut up Michael you know its not like that!" Morgan screamed, cutting him off. "You act like i dont care, but i do care, we just want different things, you want to be young and careless, i want to go to school and try and settle down, i cant do that to you. Take away all your dreams because of my selfishness. But if you want to be cheesy and say that whatever i want is your dream too then go ahead." The room went silent. "That's what i thought." She said. I heard the shuffling of feet then the bedroom door open and close then she went in the bathroom. I heard the bedroom door open and close again followed by the front door.

"So are they over?" Luke questioned but none of us knew the answer. We sat in silence before Morgan walked in crying hysterically.

"Am i still allowed to sleep in here?" She looked at Riley with tears filling her eyes. Riley nodded and jumped off the bed.

"You can sleep on the bed, ill lay a comforter on the floor." Riley said. Morgan nodded gently and curled up on Rileys bed. We all got up and went to our rooms.

"Hey Ri." I signaled her out into the hallway and she followed. "You can sleep on the couch tonight if you want." I offered but she shook her head.

"Morgan really needs someone tonight." She looked over at the girl curled up in a ball crying uncontrollably. It hurt seeing her like this.

"Okay," i said placing my hand on her shoulder. "If you need me come get me." She nodded and walked into her room shutting the door behind her. I walked to the freezer pulling out ice cream and sitting on the couch to watch netflix. Before i realized it two hours had passed and i had eaten a whole tub of ice cream and finished season 2 of raising hope. Just as i was shutting things down Michael came stumbling through the door. It was obvious he had been drinking and he was lucky everyone else was asleep. "Michael where have you been." I said and he looked up at me with blood shot eyes.

"The thought of her wont go away." Small tears streamed down his face. "I dont want her to go, but it's what's best. For both of us. She was right we want different things." He took a long pause before falling to the ground and crying. "But i want her." I ran to his side and hugged him tight.

"Michael, its ok, you need some sleep, and water... and a shower." I helped him up and led him to the bathroom turning on the shower. "Just try to relax, ok?" I hugged him again and shut the door. I walked over to our medicine cabinet and pulled out some ibufropen, he was going to need it.

"Why are you still up?" Ashton asked behind me making me jump. I looked at the clock, it was 3 in the morning.

"Netflix." I tried to smile.

"Why is the shower on?" He looked over at the bathroom.

"Michael just got home." I sighed and his mouth made an 'O' shape.

"You go get some sleep, i got Michael ok?" He looked into my eyes and i nodded. He pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you." He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you too." I mumbled into his chest and he laughed.

"Go to bed." He lightly pushed me up the stairs. I flipped him off while yawning and walking up. "Still love you!" He called out making me laugh. I got to our room and layed down. As soon as my head hit the pillow i felt my eyes snap shut. But my mind was racing so i never fell asleep. I eventually rolled over to check the time. It was 6 and Ashton still hadnt come to bed. I walked downstairs to see Ashton passed out in the hallway next to the bathroom. Michael was in the bathroom with his face on the side of the tub. I bent down and shook Ashton gently until he woke up. "What time is it?" He sat up slowly.

"Six." I said and he threw his head back rubbing his eyes. "What time did you guys go to bed?"

"Like 30 minutes ago." He closed his eyes again.

"Lets go to our bed and maybe we'll both get some sleep." I suggested.

"You havent slept yet?" He questioned me concerned.

"No not yet." I sighed.

"Ok," he yawned standing up. "Lets go to bed my love." He grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers. He led us up to our room laying us in bed. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me in close. "I love you." He looked into my eyes.

"I love you too." I smiled before kissing him. Then i fell soundly asleep in his arms.
