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 to take a long overdue vacation together. So many wouldve. So many things I would prevent if I could just rewind time but that is impossible. 

  Oh God, why do I have to have a hard headed girl as my best friend? Why did I have to fall in love with her and not one of the many others who love nothing more than to love me eternally? * Yes, there are many girls like that *. 

 If I had just fallen in love with someone else, I would have been happier. I would not have been feeling guilty even though I did nothing wrong. Even though she is sad right now, I knows that her mind will be going through all the things I said but will still find me guilty because according to her, I was her friend so that means I would have told her. She must think that I would have let her know of every suspicions I ever had about everything but the truth is that I know I hardly ever trust anybody. If I had been telling her all my suspicions, she would never believe anything I say.

 Why does she have to be so hard headed? I groaned. I know the best thing to do is to sit and watch her clear everything in her head. But my damn heart will not be settled for that to happen. I still think about her and worry about her as if she can't take care of herself and I know that she can. Being in love is so hard even when you are not dating the person.

Alyssa pov

  Getting to school in Micah car was weird. We weren't talking to each other and I know that I will pay for that later but I don't want to think about it now. Micah tried to talk to me before we left the house but I just hushed him as if I didn't want to hear him so he clench his jaw, that is what he always do when he is angry and since then he has even refused to look my way. I am feeling remorseful for that but right now, that is not my priority. My priority is to get through today with a smile on my face and act as if I am the freest person in the world, like my heart was not broken by the four people I hold close to it. My parents for their divorce, my boyfriend for his infidelity and my best friend for his lie of omission. I know that right now I am too hard in Micah and that I don't have the right to give him a hard time but I don't really care right now. 

 Right now I just want to smile and go through the day and hopefully come out unscathed. 

 Micah bang the door of his car close as he steps out and he came to my side. He opened the door like he always do, like he is not mad at me but he didn't touch me. He didn't offer me his hand or say what he usually says, 'my princess they are waiting for you to brighten their day like you brightened mine. He just stood stiff.  

Okay I agree he is angry and I am also angry although remorseful too but I want my Micah back. I want him to act like he always do so as I left the car, I took his hand as I strode towards the school entrance, he looked shocked for about two seconds before he got control of his emotions back. As I was passing the hallways. I saw Jake but his face was swollen and he look as if he got in a fight. 

  Oh my God what happened to him? I gasp out as I saw him. 

  Micah raised his head to look at the direction I was looking and smiled as if he was proud. That is my handiwork. He got a date with my fists. " 

 Did I mention how much I love you? I said with a sigh as I turned to him and stretched upwards while he bend downwards thinking I wanted to tell him something in his ears instead I gave him a peck. I love you, thank you for fighting for me and being there for me. I said with tears in my eyes. 

He smiled and nodded before saying. If I don't take care of you, who will. 

  Will you follow me to the squad tryouts, I asked him in a vulnerable tone? Because I was. I have hid it since with my facade I always put out but now I just want to someone to lean on. I can't bear this weight all alone. 

  Of course I will be there. You don't need to ask, you know I would be there. Micah replies me as he wrapped his hand around me. 

  I thought you were angry with me. 

  I am but that does not mean that I won't support you. I will. No matter what." And what made his words sincere was the fact that I know he meant it. 

 Thank you for being there for me. I told him because in the end I am really grateful that he is there for me. 

  I told you that I will always be there for you. How many times did I tell you to stop doubting me? Micah said as he flicked my fore head. 

  Ouch " I complained then looked at him with my eyes flashing. That hurts I yell at him. 

I know, now I have forgiven you Micah said with a laugh. 

 Well now I am angry with you. I said as I brushed past him. I walked towards my classroom which Jake was standing in front. 

  Alyssa... He started but a throat was cleared behind my back. I don't even need to turn to know that it was my best friend, always backing me up and dealing with the unpleasantness. I love him for that. Whatever girl he is in love with will be forever happy.  Sorry. He said as he retracted the hand he was bringing towards me to touch me. If he had touched me I would have given him a slap that would make history in this school as probably the loudest or something because the way I was feeling now, I do believe I could inflict real pain. 

  Alyssa let's go into the class. Micah said behind me as he guided me to the class. "Dont touch me. I am still angry with you. I mumbled and Micah chuckles this time. 

  When I turned to glare at him his chuckles turned into full laughter.
