Mahal Ko- Michael Mell x Male Reader

Telling the truth- Chapter 7

Jeremy's pov) Once Y/n left my room, I sighed. What am I gonna do? This whole situation was just... so confusing.

I mean, sure. I could tell Michael that we should just end the relationship... still be friends. Sure, things would be awkward but still. Or I could just keep doing this for a while... yeah, no. Nope.

Before I could even grab my phone, it goes off. I grab it and see that it's a text from Michael. Oh boy, this only means one thing that I've dreaded. A little.....

Player1: Hey Jere.. can we talk...?

Player2: Of course! What's up?

Player1: You know how I said we should just take a break..? Well, I've been wondering.. did you actually want to date me..?

I took a moment. Wait... did I really want to date him or was it just out of spite because my brother Y/n liked my best friend who I've known for 12 years.

After thinking and thinking, I figured it out. I can't believe that I've been just dating him so Y/n couldn't be happy...

I sighed and sent a response.

Player2: Okay... after doing a lot of thinking, I realized that.. well, I just dated you so Y/n couldn't. I'm so sorry, Michael. I guess you don't wanna talk to me now since I was selfish...

After a minute or two, I got a response.

Player1: ... Well, one. You have to apologize to Y/n . He needs to know the truth. And two, you're right. I don't want to talk to you right now. What you just said.. broke my heart. I will talk to you when I'm ready. I won't avoid you, but still. Talk to you later.

Wow.. I really did hurt his feelings. I guess I do deserve it for being selfish... and a jerk. After putting my phone down, I just decided to go get a drink from the kitchen. I think I had a slushy from last week.  Heading to the kitchen and grabbing a Mountain Dew Red, I went back to my room. Passing Y/n's bedroom. A wave of guilt hit me when I heard Y/n... crying? Man, I just... feel so bad. For just using my best friend like that.. I'm a terrible person. I don't deserve any forgiveness. Yeah....

Right before I headed into my room, I heard a "Jeremy?" come from behind me. I turned around to see my father and step mother Heidi. They didn't look happy. "Son, we need to talk."

So, they talked to me and I explained my side of the story. And let's just say that my dad wasn't too happy about it.

"Jeremy, you can't just.. date someone to make sure someone else doesn't get to them. That's how you break hearts. I thought I raised you better than that."

I sighed and put my face in my hands.
"I... I don't why I did what I did. Maybe it's because of what happened with.. my last girlfriend? She saw that I had kind of started getting feelings for Michael so she said that it was better to just be friends? I don't know..."

Dad and Heidi both looked at each other before looking back at me. "Jeremy, you need to go apologize to your brother and just take some time before dating anybody else." My step mom said, putting a hand on my knee.

I nodded. "Okay... I'll go apologize to him." So, I got up and went to his room to apologize. For everything. About after an hour of talking and explaining, he said that he would think about it.

Yeah, should have saw that coming. But, at least I told the truth.. even if it means that Michael won't talk to me as much. //////////////////////////////
