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.
Alyssa pov.I let out the shrill scream I had been hoping to hear inside the room from another person as I rush to Micah and sank down beside him. My God, what is wrong with him? On getting closer I discovered that he was not really unconscious, he was shaking as if he was cold. His eyes were rolled back in his head as his fist was clenching and unclenching as if he had something in it he was holding and need to decide if he still has to hold it or let it go. Dont worry, I tell him through my tears. I never even knew that I was crying. You are going to get better. I said as I put his head on my laps and reached into my messy school bag for my phone so that I can call 911 but he grabbed my hands to stop me.No hospitals. He bit out as his teeth was still shaking, clattering in his mouth. You need to go, I know you have something akin to a phobia a
Alyssa pov That annoying girl is already getting on my nerves and I have not even met her. If not for the fact that Micah loves her I would refer to her as a bitch. She has to be, to play with Micah feelings like that, as if he is a toy she can use and dump. Because if you ask me there is no way on earth that Micah will have those strong feelings for a girl he is not close to, I know my best friend and he is not like that. I mean it takes years for him to like somebody but for this girl to be loved by him, they must be extremely close and I hate that while they were getting close I wasn't around to witness it because I would never allow it to progress, I would not have allowed them to even be friends not to talk of close friends. I mean, Micah is a sensitive guy and if she is as close to him as I think she is, then she should know and not play with his feelings. I love Micah, sometimes as a brother, other times as
Micah povWhy did Alyssa have to see me at my weakest, not only that, I opened my mouth and started to talk about her, why would I do that, now Alyssa will get it in her head to hate whoever I love because of my mouth and when I do decide to tell her that it is her, she will hate herself for not knowing. I keep complicating things and now how will I tell her that I am in love with her when I know that she will be sad and hate herself. I love her too much to put her through that but still the question remains, will I tell her that I am hopelessly in love with her.What will I do to slice this dilemma, wait a minute, Miss Robin said that we should write a letter, she didn't specify which one. I will write a love letter and Al is always curious, she would want to know all about my inspiration and what I hope the letter would be, and when she asks who I wrote the letter for, I will finally tell he
Micah pov.It has been a week since Alyssa saw me shaking on the floor. A week with little or no contact. During that period we hardly had time to talk but soon all these will change I have to finish my letter first. I need to submit it tomorrow. And I have not stared writing it. I have to use my brain which will give me head ache but I have no other choice. Sighing, I opened the book before me as I started to write and think, what would somebody want to hear from the person who likes her, what would I write to convey my feelings. I started writing using my head even with the coming migraine that was already blasting me with full force. I need to finish the letter, even if it is not much, as the migraine became very bad so I quickly rounded off the letter just as the shakes started and I started shaking on the chair partially paralyzed because I couldn't control my movement that was when the door of my room opened to force.&
Micah povWhy wouldn't you allow us in. Celine asked sulking? Because youre childish attitude make me angry all the time. And I don't feel like getting angry now. I replied her as Celine glared at me. Have you ever wondered why we love acting childish around you? Because you get on our nerves too. Mike said to me protecting his sister. Good for him, when I go off to college, she needs someone who is going to protect her even if that someone have to be her younger brother. I will have that talk with Mike soon and although I don't like to postpone things I have to postpone that particular conversation. I don't leave for college until the next five months there is no reason why I should be having the talk with him now. He will just use it to taunt me until I strangle him to death. Believe me when I say that I am at the junction where I am not so far from doing t
Micah pov. That evening at my house was a somber one. At dinner, my siblings kept looking at mom and me while dad noticed it but didn't say anything. I am sure that mom have already told him the doctors news. Getting tired of the eggs shells everyone seem to be sitting on. I started the conversation do anybody want to talk about the elephant in the room. There is an elephant in the room, had no idea. Mom said as she cleans her mouth. Oh no, I hate it when my mother gets this way, there is no way to convince her otherwise when she chose to ignore something, she believes that if you ignore it, it won't be there anymore but that principle doesn't work with brain tumors, in fact if you decide you want to ignore it, the best way to do that is to start preparing for a funeral. Mom, we have to talk about it. I said as softly
Micah povI arrived at school today to see Alyssa standing in my parking lot space. Okay, it wasn't mine like I brought it. It was mine like I always park there and everybody knows it. It is not the best parking space in the school parking lot but it is not the worst either. Coming down from my car, Alyssa came to my side of the door and when I opened the door and she threw herself at me for a hug. I hugged her like there was no tomorrow, for me there might not be. " what is wrong. " she asks me when we finally released each other not because of the fact that we were tired of hugging each other but the fact that people were starting to look at us funny. I mean they all know that we are friends and all but still, we don't hug like this in public. Another reason why they are staring at us might the fact that I was hugging Jake Stanton girl. It does not matter
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
