& The Reason Is You
But Good Moments Has To Come To An End, Sometime.
I knew it was wrong for me to feel this way towards Mike but I couldn’t help it. He was the one who kept on drawing me closer to him. I would’ve ignored him for a long time but he just kept on coming no matter how harsh I’ve snapped at him.
My heart softened as I watch him sing, those lovely words slowly coming out of his lips. I chuckled to myself, thinking of how foolish I was to like such a wonderful person who, I know, will never like me back. I turned my head to the singer, who had finished a song and bowed, thanking every one of us that came.
I could hear Mike letting out a loud of sigh as the singer exit towards the backstage. A new band started to play and as much as I wanted to stay, Mike said it was time to go.
“But why?” I asked. I sounded stupid because I was the one who wanted to come home in the first place but now I was literally begging him to stay, just for one song, just to listen to the band play. But Mike didn’t want to stay.
“I would love to stay too, Turtle. But I’m more worried about you,” he said.
“Fine.”
So we got into the car. We didn’t talk after what happened. We didn’t have a huge argument and shit. It wasjust that – I felt awkward after him singing while tightly holding my hand, as if he was singing to me. I felt awkward after I finally admitted to myself that I had a huge crush on him.
“So, are you coming to school tomorrow?” he asked.
“Yeah, of course.”
He chortled, “That’s good.”
“Why, aren’t you going?” I was secretly hoping he would say yes. I was hoping that he would come to school tomorrow maybe he would do whatever he always do before this but he didn’t answer. After a few minutes of waiting for him to talk, he finally replied, “Probably.”
“Good night,” Mike said as I got out of the car. I turned to him, gave him a small smile and said, “Night.”
He looked at me for a while, as if he was going to said something. But then, maybe he decided that it was better to not talk to a sore loser like me. “I had fun with you today,” he said. Then he gave me that to-die-smile and began to drive away.
“I had fun with you too,” I whispered, still not confident enough to say it in front of his face.
Sighing, I went inside of my house slowly, hoping that my mother wouldn’t notice that I was trying to not get caught by her. I immediately locked myself in my bedroom but soon enough, I could hear a knock on my door.
And it was Val.
“Tone!” she beamed. “Where have you been? I was worried sick that you might be running away from home. Where did you go? Who were you with? Were you with Blaise?? Is everything okay? No, dammit, are you okay???”
“Sheesh, Val, calm the fuck down,” I mumbled. I opened the door wider, letting her in. Once she sat on the bed, I began to talk. “I was out somewhere, okay? I was with a friend. Don’t worry, I was and still am okay. I decided to – I don’t know, have some fun a bit?”
Val stared at me with wide eyes. I know that she was worried about me but I was starting to get a little annoyed at how overprotective she was to me. I was the brother. I was the one who should look after her but no, she was the one who cared a lot. She stood up and held my hands dramatically as she whispered, “Where have you been? Did you go on a date?”
I blushed at the thought. Were Mike and I on a date?
I shook my head, “No. I was… out. Watched a movie and shit. Where’s mom?”
“You’re lucky she’s working late today. She won’t be home until 10. I was bored alone at home, you know,” she pouted as she let go of my hands and walked towards my bed. I gave her an apologetic smile. “And Mike didn’t even answer my messages and return my calls. I wonder what he was doing.”
I completely forgot that my sister liked him.
The next day at school, I had the same class as Mike and I waited patiently for him. But he didn’t come. Maybe he was skipping class. I kept on convincing myself that maybe he was sick or something. But he also didn’t come the day after.
Soon, he had not attended school for weeks. I started to feel empty. I wanted to see him so I looked for his brother.
Unfortunately, his brother was also skipping school. What type of shit is this? Have they moved? A lot of negative thoughts swarmed inside my head. I couldn’t help but to worry.
I decided to pay him a visit and I already had the answer if he asked what I’m doing at his house. I’d say that ‘I’m here to give you homework and notes’. So I came to his house in the afternoon. I was expecting Mike to open the door but it was his mom.
“Are you Michael’s friend?” she asked as she looked at me.
“Yeah. Is he home? I wanted to give him homework and notes.”
“Sorry, honey, but Michael isn’t home right now. He’s somewhere. Do you want me to ask him to call you once he got home?”
My hopes were shattered into pieces. He wasn’t at home, where could he possibly be? I was starting to get worried sick. So I asked his mother, “Do you know where he is right now?”
“I’m sorry, dear. I wish I do.”
My heart softened as I watch him sing, those lovely words slowly coming out of his lips.
