2011.

I couldn't believe this was happening. Anything I learned about breakups were derived from the movies I watched-- and there weren't many chick flicks in my collection. The closest thing I got to a chick flick was "Mean Girls" and even then I wasn't sure how to deal with this current situation.

"So we're breaking up?" I quietly asked, looking at Carrington with sullen eyes.

"Michael are you even listening to me?!" Carrington yelled at the top of her lungs, waving her hands in the air in attempt to grab my attention. "I fucking swear Mikey, it's like you don't even pay any attention to what I have to say. You stand there freaking clueless half the time. This obviously isn't working!"

"Can't we just try to fix things? I'll try to be better for you," I bargained with her.

Carrington groaned, shaking her head, "no Michael. I'm tired of waiting for you to grow up. Clearly your mind is on other things-- it's like you don't even want to be with me."

"Babe, I do want to be with you," there was a strain to my tone of voice as I tried to convince her of my loyalties. "You were my first and I was yours. Doesn't that mean anything?"

"It does Michael," she voice finally softens, "and I don't regret for one moment of losing my virginity to you, but I just can't be with you anymore. We have different priorities now."

"Different priorities?" I repeated, "what kind of bullshit is that? The last I checked, we're both turning 16. We're both in high school. We don't have a job. No responsibilites-- we have the same fucking priorities!"

"It's not just that Michael!" Carrington bellowed. She threw her hands to her temples, rubbing them to ebb the stress she obviously was feeling.

"Then what is it? Because I'm missing your point!" I retorted.

"You wouldn't understand," Carrington answered and I let out a laugh. This girl was driving me up a fucking wall.

"Are you making up excuses? Exactly why do you want to break up with me?" I pressed.

"We just need to separate. I need to concentrate on school and you should concentrate on your music-- you obviously have a talent and you should just go for it," she whimpered, her voice cracking. Carrington's head hung low, her shoulders heaving up and down. She was crying and I hated to see her so upset. I pulled her into me, giving her a tight hug.

"But you're my muse," I told her, "I write better when we're together."

"And I love that idea Michael," she said through her tears. I hadn't let go of her yet, "but we're still young. We have the rest of our lives ahead of us. If it's meant to be, we'll find ourselves back together again. And if not, I'll still be front row at all your concerts."

I pulled back, looking into her weepy eyes, "and you'll fangirl over our band?"

Carrington chuckled, nodding her head, "yes. I'll be the number one 5 Seconds of Summer fangirl."

I sighed, as we both pulled away from each other. I took this time to study every single one of her features before I let her walk away from me. Black hair that reached just past her shoulders in soft curls, dark brown almond shaped eyes, deep golden skin and a million-dollar crooked smile that I loved so much.

We were together for about a year and in that short time, I was able to lose myself in her. At the beginning, I only spoke to her because I thought she was hot. She opened her mouth to compliment my Cobain tee-shirt and started to spit Nirvana song lyrics to my face-- from that moment I knew we'd get along. And then she asked me if I was a gamer. Lord only knows how bad I wanted her from that point, and he'd probably send me straight into confession for all the dirty thoughts running through my head.

Till this day I always believed that Carrington was way out of my league. She was downright beautiful that it was illegal. Seriously, she was a 10 and I was a 6-- maybe even a 3. But she loved me, every little part. Carrington was able to make me feel confident about myself and she always brought out the best in me. Breaking up with her was horrible, but at the same time she still managed to make me feel good about myself.

"You obviously have a talent..."

Her words rang in my ear even after she walked out the door, leaving me to sulk alone in the empty house. Besides my mum, Carrington was my number one support. Instead of laughing in my face about starting a band with my best friends Calum and Luke, she showed up to watch us practice. I stupidly screwed up our relationship, but I knew deep down that letting her go was the least selfish thing I could've done for her. Carrington deserved better.

Buzz. Buzz.

My phone vibrated in my jean pocket and I pulled it out. I flipped open my crumby flip phone and pressed it against my ear.

"What?" I snap.

"Whoa, what got into your Vegemite this morning?" it was Calum on the other end.

"Nothing," I groaned, plopping down on the couch next to me, "I just don't feel like talking right now."

"Well you're gonna have to," he declared, "I think I found us a drummer."

"Wait what?" I sat up in a haste.

"I think you might know him. His name is Ashton Irwin. Luke and I are coming over right now for practice. I've asked him to meet us there," Calum informed.

"I'll have the garage open for you," I announced, suddenly feeling a wave of excitment. "Does this kid drive?"

"Naw," Calum said, "at least not yet. He's coming on his push bike. I'll see you in a few."

Calum and I hung up. Quickly, I looked through my recent call list to phone Carrington, but the moment I pressed the green button, I shut my phone off. I was so surprised by the news of a drummer that I had forgotten about our very recent breakup. Letting out an annoyed groan, I stood up from the couch and headed for the garage, unbeknown to me of what was to come in the future.
