Alyssa pov.
I wish that Micah could spend the whole day with me but he can't he has to go pick up his sister and brother from their friends place where his mother dropped them off four hours earlier when they finally got on her last nerves.
I certainly don't want to go back to that house, not anytime soon and even if I go, I don't think I want to be sober when I do it. Then again I have never drank to the point of inebriated before so I might as well get that experience before I move to college. That reminds me. I have to ask Micah if he has made his choice on colleges yet. I know that he might not be able to get in an Ivy League college but because of his athletic championships he has been winning since he was twelve, he has a wide range of schools to choose from. He needs to make his choice and I need to tell my parents my own choice. I guess it is just parent now since my father is the only one around. My mother is traveling the world and probably cheating on my father. I need to stop thinking like that. They are divorced and it is no longer called cheating. I don't think I will ever forgive my mother for that, she ruin my senior year for me. STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT. You will only make yourself feel bad and fall ill. I can't fall ill. I need to be at my best game tomorrow for try outs for the cheer leading squad.
I don't want to go home and I certainly don't want to watch Micah siblings with him. Those brats are simply demons incarnate. There is no other way to describe them. I would love to go out like the park or cinema but I hate going alone and Micah is busy and Jake is to return a day before school starts, wait a minute. Tomorrow school starts and Jake doesn't like driving at night so I am pretty sure that he is already at home. I brought out my phone to call him but stop the call before his number rang. If I call him, he is going to know that something is wrong and he will be worried until I get there. I don't want him to be worried unnecessarily, even if it is about me.
I dropped my phone in my bag and hailed a taxi. This is going to cause me some extra charge since I am in the opposite side of town and to enter the estates is a huge hassle but this is what I get for not agreeing with Micah when he offered to go get my car for me since there is no way possible I will enter that compound of my own free will while it is still day light. I don't want to see my father face and although I am angry with my mother for bringing those divorce papers, I am also angry with my father for signing it. Did they ask my opinion although it will affect my life, no they didnt? I know I was not there when they got married but they should have at least asked for my opinion now that I am here and that it will affect my life. I bet they didn't think about me. They only thought about themselves. Stop thinking about it.
Looking at it now, my best option is to go to Jake home, he can remove my mind from what is going on around me, even if it is with his topics about how the world rotate around him. I will try to focus on it because right now. He should be my life line, Micah has a girl he likes and I am sure that the reason he has done nothing about it is because he thinks that I need to fall back on him to rest. I do, but he needs to live his own life. I need to let him go. Jake needs to start doing his job as my boyfriend and not leaving the work for Micah.
I don't understand why my heart froze when Micah said he liked a girl but I hope that it is nothing serious. Micah needs to be happy, even if it is just for putting up with me, he deserves a happy ending.
When the taxi stopped at Jake home, I couldn't help the cold chill I felt in my spine. Something was wrong. Something was out of place. I got out of the taxi without shutting the door and used my eyes to scan the environment, I saw Tiffany yellow canary Porsche sitting close to my boyfriend jeep. What is Tiffany doing here? And it is not she and the girls because this particular car, she never allows anyone in it except her best friend just like my candy red Porsche is only for Micah and me.
*You are acting cranky and suspecting things where there is nothing but empty space Alyssa* I tell myself, there is no way Jake will cheat on me. It could be that some of the girls or his boys followed him and they came to hang out at his house after all, he is the captain of the football team after all. It could also be that they came to my house to pick me up but my father told them I was with Micah and that vexed Jake - he hates it when he wants my attention but I am with Micah - so he decided not to call me and tell me that he is around and my dad didn't call me because he thinks that I will not pick his call since I am angry with him. He is totally right. I won't.
After trying to assure myself, I still have that feeling on my spine so I decided to go with my gut. Wait here. I told the taxi man. If I am not back within twenty minutes you can leave. I added, what I am suspecting can't happen. It just can't. The cab man opened his mouth probably to complain so I shoved a hundred dollar bill into his hand. If you wait there is more from where that came from. The man's mouth snapped close and he nodded.
I walked into the house as the door was unlocked. Jake never lock the door and today is Sunday so the maids are on a holiday. I walked up the curving staircase to Jake room when I started hearing moans, the kind you hear from sexual activities. With tears in my eyes, I turned the handle of Jake door and saw the most heart breaking sight I have ever seen. If I had seen my mother with another man before hearing about the divorce, it won't be this heartbreaking. I stood frozen to the floor as I watching Tiffany bouncing on my boyfriend with no clothes on her upper part that was visible, Jake was lying with his eyes screwed shut and his mouth half opened in an expression of ecstasy on his face.
I am Cumming. he cried out as he squeezed his eyes tight as he shivers while Tiffany moans loudly too. A cry escape my throat as I watch this.
The cry must have been loud enough because Jake eyes snapped opened and when he saw me, he stared in disbelief.
Babe... He started but that was my cue to start running. I didn't stop until I was in the cab. Step on it. I ordered the man as he did but I still saw Jake run out of his house with only his underwear on.
Alyssa pov Where to, Miss." the cab man asked me when my sobs reduced. Far away from this place. As far away as possible. I replied through my tears. What about the park close to town council hall. " he asks quietly. I know that right now he is talking softly because he recognized what is going on. He saw the bastard on his side view mirror and he knows from my tears that I was the girlfriend.Yes please. I answered in a low tone.My life is turning into a typical cliché story. What is remaining is that I fall in love with either my best friend, Jake best friend or the school bad boy then we get married and live happily ever after. The end. I can't deal with this. I just cannot. This day is too horrible for me. It has just been too horrible. Wait... did Micah know about this, is that why he wa
Micah povI have been searching for Alyssa for about an hour now. Driving with top speed to get to our favorite spots where we hang out but I didn't see her there. I stop and sat down, * use your brain and think this boy, stop acting like you are insane. Alyssa is your best friend, you know her better than you know anyone else. Where would she go since she had her heart broken? What would she do? * I am supposed to even know how she would think dammit. I need to calm down, I can do this if I just calm down. I slowed down my breathing as I try to think with a clear head, pushing all the worries that have been swimming in my head so fiercely that if me brink I can see them behind my eyelids. She must have been in a situation where she couldn't think and that would have made the taxi man to drop her off in an extremely popular place. I paused that flow. That would be what
Alyssa pov.Waking up to shouting is not a good way for someone with a hangover. My head was banging and pounding as if they were trying do an operation on it without giving me morphine. I groaned as I sat up in the bed and when I could finally open my eyes without closing it back because of the brightness, I looked around at the room I slept. Sure, I remember last night, the important details like I was dropped off in a park, I drank myself to oblivion, I woke up at night to discover I am alone and I started crying and as he heard my cries he appeared and was there with me. He took me home and dropped me in this room. I don't need to be a psychic to know that Micah will be pissed at me. I don't know what I did but I know that it was something stupid. I know this because the only part of our conversation I can remember was when he was calling me daft for thinking about something. * Oh Alyssa, when will you realized
Micah pov.Alyssa makes me so mad. Why is she so annoying at times. Sometimes I feel like taking her head off but I know that if I near her I would just kiss her silly. That is me for you. A lovesick boy who is hopelessly in love with his best friend, had been for about four years now. Had known that she was the only one for me for about two years now and I sat still, said nothing about my feelings while she went out and started to date a boy I certainly knew will hurt her. Why did I do something like that? My own heartbreak is not funny one bit. If I could go back in time, I would go back to a year ago when Jake came into her life and the punch I gave him yesterday would have been done then, I would have warned the cheating asshole to stay away from my best friend and I would have told my best friend about my feelings for her in a grand way. I would have made Tiffany to stay away from the squad and I would have made her parents
Micah pov.By lunch, everybody had heard of what happened during class today, they were all staring at me while I eat and although I am used to ignoring people attention on me. This one was different. It is like they are all waiting for me to stop eating and turn to tell them that yes, I broke their quarter-back nose and that it is because he cheated on my best friend. Apparently that news started spreading since yesterday evening. Everybody who is anybody has heard of the news already but then again that do not concern me. Why you may ask, and I will reply that Alyssa doesn't care about things like that. She is used to back talk and negative comments. Those don't get to her again. When we were small and she was always getting hurt by what people say about her. I will retaliate by beating that crap out of whoever said what hurt her. When she saw that I was always getting into trouble, she started to build her amour and now anybody who has
Alyssa pov.Time for tryouts. Time I have been dreading. I hate the look of pity that people send my way especially girls in the squad. Some openly scoff at me, they think that I will not remain in cheer leading, they forgot how the group was before I became leader, and they forgot all I did for them. I hate ungrateful people. They make me so mad that I seriously consider being bitchy to them but then again I will remember that Micah hates bitchiness.Of all things for him to hate, why does he have to hate that one. I went to the locker room to change into my uniform only that as I got there I saw my things from my locker on the floor and a note on them which said ' we don't need you. Signed T. ' I am officially angry. That is it. I don't mean to sound like a record or like those people who say the most clichés stuff when it comes to revenge but Tiffany will surely regret this.
Micah pov.I knew something like this would happen. It might have taken two months but my heart broke for those two months since all I could do was just stand by and watch it happen.I am crushed.Alyssa and Jake are talking again, she forgave that bastard easily. Too easy in my dictionary. If it was up to me I will never let him back in her life but it isn't up to me. It is never up to me. All I will ever be with her is just friends, why can't she see that it kills me. I tried, I tried for two months, I really tried to make her see me in a different light, to make her see me in another way than just a friend but she doesn't even notice. I will always be looking in from the shoulders of whoever she decides is the lucky guy who gets to share her life. I hate that fact. Still with all this that has been happening you would think
Alyssa povHow can he get mad so easily, what did I do wrong? Is it his life? What I don't get is why my conscience is judging me. Are you sure you don't want to go back and apologize. Jake asks me. Apologize for what. What did I do wrong? He was the one who got angry over something he has no control over. He is the one who needs to apologize for butting into my business and giving me an ultimatum. I ranted.Jake shook his head at me. If you have something to say just say it. I shouted at him. You are acting as if a fire is lit under you. Jake pointed out. I and my best friend are having a quarrel, thank you Mr. obvious. I said to Jake but he chuckles. It is your tell for when you are feeling guilty. Jake said and kept his mouth shut when he saw the look in my eyes.
This is the end of our story, our love story. The one that started with the letter I wrote for her, the one that started a year ago but burned as fiercely as a raging inferno. An inferno that was put out too quickly. An inferno that died the day Alyssa died. Now she is being laid to rest but as she is being buried so is my heart. I have finally conquered my anxiety attacks. I no longer feel anything. I am now cold and unfeeling. It scares my family. I can see it in their eyes when they look at me and share a worried look between themselves, I can see it when my siblings try to cheer me up, they don't do what annoy me any longer, the pranks have died with Alyssa. Sometimes I wish we never started dating if that means that she would still be alive.Then I would slap myself and stop assigning blames or 'would haves' because it never change anything. Alyssa is still gone and I cherish every moment we spent together. Every kissed we shared, every look th
**** Within two weeks, I relapsed and now I am back in the hospital. Doing chemotherapy and having a therapist come to deal with my anxiety. I know for a fact that if I am not careful this period I would end up with an anxiety disorder. Alyssa would certainly not want that for me. I can see it clearly in my head, if Alyssa was alive and something like this is happening, she would have hit me at the back of my head and order me to get my shit cleaned up. That is my girlfriend for you.... That was my girlfriend for you. I still can't believe that she is gone. It is too unsettling to discover that she is not by my side or that she didn't go to get something and that is to reason for her not being able to be with me physically. I cannot believe it that she is gone, sure I know that she is gone but my mind can't wrap around the fact that I will never see her face smiling or pouting or giving me that look that is sp
Micah pov. Even before the doctor came out with the news that Alyssa was gone. I knew that she was gone. I now know what the sharp pain meant. It meant that my soul mate was dead. I have been numb ever since I entered the car, I came out and did everything my family did but my mind was blank... The doctor came out and her parents rushed to him but he just removed his mask and shook his head. My sweet bratty princess was gone and it was confirmed, that was when the first sob teared out of my throat and I held on tight to my mother, I felt people surrounding me but I could not pay attention to them. I am without my soul mate, my best friend. How would I survive? This is all her mother fault, normally I try not to point fingers and assign blame but I have to this time. It is all her fault, if she had let Alyssa do whatever she wants, we wouldn't even be in this town now. If she had not forced Alyssa to be her maid o
Micah povWill you grow up man? I asked my brother as I hit him with the back of my hand. I am only thirteen, so no, not yet. Mike replied annoying the hell out of me. What did I do to deserve this, right from the moment he was born he has done nothing except annoy me. Mike, stop. Alyssa call put him in a good mood let's hope that the good mood last for a little while. Don't make it evaporate so quickly. Celine said as Mike and dad chuckled at her statement. What is this? Gang up and tease elder brother day? I asked not amused. No, that was yesterday. Mike replied. That is why we annoyed the hell out of you. Celine added. You mean like how you are doing right now and how you also did last two days. I pointed out. You are right. Annoying e
Micah povWeeks laterPreparing for Alyssa parents marriage is taking a toll out of me, well out of Alyssa, which affect our relationship and in turn, affect me. Sometimes I wish I could kidnap her and hide her away from her mother who has turned into brideizza. I don't get the deal, you have being married to this man for eighteen years only to divorce him saying that you no longer feel sparks or whatever silly excuse she gave eleven months ago only to come back three months later and plead with him that she made a mistake and that she still wants to be in his life then get remarried in less than a year of being apart. Too crazy, she didn't apologize to Alyssa and although she was welcomed by her husband... Ex-husband and soon to be husband again and also my parents, Alyssa and I never did welcome her back. Alyssa was hurt by her leaving and Al never forgive someone who hurt her ea
Micah povI was getting ready to take my car to the mechanic to see if there was anything that could be done to salvage the situation when my mother called me from down stairs saying I had a visitor, I groaned as grabbed a tee shirt and quickly out it on as I hurried down the stairs with my keys in my back pocket only for me to stop at the last step when I saw who it was.Alyssa, someone whom I was clearly not expecting to see. I was even tempted to not believe my eyes because I was certain that Alyssa would never apologize for what happened, the highest I was expecting her to do is to concede to the fact that maybe she was not right with her actions and even then, it would be done grudgingly. Alyssa was not the kind of person to apologize and that was why I was finding it hard to believe.Then my siblings started their snickers in the background, the tv they were watching was long forgotten as they turned to face us.
Alyssa Pov,How did me and Micah go from a candlelight dinner to fighting? I have no idea but what I do have an idea of is that he is irrational and my feelings are rightly justified.And what I am also sure of is that he might not want me again.Yes, I might sound dramatic but it is the truth, Micah cares very much about his car, I think me and his mother are the only ones who are allowed to seat in the front seat and I just keyed his car.I know, I wasnt really thinking. I just got upset because he was not relenting, it was just me saying goodbye to Jake.Jake was going away to college, and based on what happened at his party, I did not really talk to him and although he got on Micah nerves, it did not change the fact that although Jake sting my pride by sleeping with Tiffany but I broke his heart when I broke up with him just to be with Micah.
Alyssa povHello honey, it has been long since we talked. Tiffany stated trying to hug me with a false smile which I certainly did not believe.She had ambushed me on my way to get drinks for me and Micah because since we arrived at the party together, we have been inseparable and have been sitting on the couch together, not making out but certainly more touchy feely than usual, I think it is finally getting into their heads that we are a couple.I have been happy at that and feeling high and staring into the face of Tiffany, that high is slowly being expired and I was not in the mood to feign happiness at seeing her.What do you want? I asked but instead of my tone to come out as hostile, it came out as defensive.I frowned at my words and I was not the only one who caught up on the defensiveness that was in my tone because Tiffany jumped on it by crowding my space.
Micah povApparently, kissing in front of your friends and those who you went to high school with is not enough to convince people anymore that you are in a relationship with your best friend.Granted, it was me and Alyssas fault for always coming up with crazy schemes and being too close outside. It was annoying enough to Jake wanted Alyssa but it was nothing compare to the girls who me and Alyssa went to school with as they all, all of a sudden wanted to hang out with me. Alyssa was not a happy camper at the attention which they paid to me.You know that you look cute when you pout. I teased Alyssa to get her mind off the fact that we were invited to go for a party tomorrow and in Jake home nevertheless.You know, you ought not to annoy me especially since I am in a bad mood. Alyssa retorted as I sighed.I let go of the trash bag in my hand as we were in the process of cleaning the la
