I awoke to the sound of a baby crying. The world was pitch black and there was something heavy on top of me. What the fuck...? Where am I...?

Laying there for a moment, I tried grabbing my phone. My limbs had become entangled with the heavy object on top of me. Finally, after a minute or so, my eyes adjusted to the darkness.

"Billie...?" He tiredly hummed, "Hey... can you move a bit...?" He did as told. I grabbed my phone. The bright light hurt my eyes.

"Dude..." Billie threw a pillow at the light, but missed.

"Oh fuck!" I sat up, "I was supposed to see Mikey!"

"Too late now, huh?" He yawned.

"Fuck..." I laid back down, staring at the mass of texts from all four boys.

"Go back to sleep babe... the light is killing me..." I grabbed the pillow he had thrown and hit him with it, "Ow!" He threw one back. Quietly I laughed.

"Should I even bother messaging back?" Billie came closer and gazed at the screen.

"I dunno..." He yawned.

"Maybe I should go..."

"I guess I can take you..." But neither of us moved. He laid so close to me. He was so warm.

"Or maybe I can stay..."

"Please..." He murmured. I taped on the screen. Billie watched as I created a message explaining what had happened.

"They can wait until tomorrow..." Once I hit send I slid my phone away and stared into the darkness.

"Can I hold you?" He whispered.

"I don't mind..." He wrapped his arms around me and held me close, "Did you do this with your friends?" I yawned.

"Actually, yes..." We both laughed quietly. After a moment we both fell asleep.

I awoke only a few hours later. Billie was nowhere to be seen. Quietly, I got up out of bed and wandered out of the bedroom. I gazed out the doorway, looking for the boy. People were talking downstairs. None of the voices belonged to Billie, but I decided to head down anyways.

At the kitchen table sat who I assumed to be Billie's family. A younger woman sat with a tiny toddler and a baby. Some other boys and another older woman sat there, but Billie was nowhere to be seen.

"Hi," The young woman greeted.

"Oh shit it's Billie's new girlfriend." The boys began laughing.

"I'm not his girlfriend..." I sat down.

"Yeah, okay, sure..." The woman smiled.

"Hey..." I turned to see Billie standing beside me.

"Hi, there you are. Can you take me home?"

"Yeah, of course. C'mon," I got up and followed him outside and to his car.

"Who're all those people?"

"The boys are my cousins, the girl with the kids is my sister, kids are my nephews, and the older lady is my mother."

"You all live together?"

"Yeah..." He began, "It gets really loud..."

"My house is the complete opposite."

"How so?"

"I'm an only child... it's just me and my parents... and we're so quiet..."

"Must be nice..."

"It can be..." He pulled up to my house. My eyes went wide as I spotted Frank's truck in the driveway, "Oh god..." I put my face in my hands.

"Hey... you can do this..." I gazed back up at him, "I'd go in with you but I think I'd just make it worse..."

"Thank you..." I smiled then kissed his cheek, "I'll see you around."

"Can I call you?"

"Sure..." I got out of the car.

"Bye babe..."

"Bye..." I waved him off before going inside. All four boys were sat at the kitchen table. Immediately they all got up and walked over, bombarding me with questions.

"The fuck you guys doing here!?" I asked, "Get outta my house!"

"Y/n, did you stay the night at his house?"

"How could you do that to us!?"

"What's wrong with you!?"

"I got my cast off..."

My eyes went to Mikey. Everything the boys were saying faded into the background as I stared at this boy. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought about the night before. I pushed past everyone and hid in my bedroom.

"Leave me alone!" I cried. There was a quiet knock at the door.

"Y/n..." Mikey's voice sounded so soft.

"Go away..." There was some shuffling and quiet speaking at my door. After a few minutes, there was another quiet knock.

"Babe it's just me..." Mikey sighed, "Can I come in...?"

I didn't want to talk to him. There was no one I wanted to talk to. Unfortunately I knew deep down inside that I needed to talk to him anyways. So, I slowly opened the door. Mikey's eyes looked so caring. At this point it didn't really matter. Just gazing into those eyes made me want to cry.

"Go ahead..." I sighed, "Say what you gotta say..."

"I'm sorry. I didn't wanna do that to you. My uhm... my cast took longer to take off than expected... so I couldn't make it..."

As I stared at him I realized my mix of bubbling anger and raging sadness had reached a breaking point. I didn't care.

"Okay..."

"'Okay?' That's it? Is that really all you have to say?" I sent a sad smile. He hugged me, "How can I make it up to you?" I just shrugged. He pulled away.

"You broke my heart Mikey. I'm not sure you can do much to fix something like that."

"What are you saying?" I thought for a moment.

"I dunno... I uhm... I dunno... I think I just need some time alone."

"Okay... I guess I'll go..." But neither of us moved. We just stared at each other, "Is this it?" His gaze saddened significantly.

"It might be..."

"Is there anyway for us to stay together...?"

"Mikey, you ditched me. I can't even look at you without feeling as if I may cry. I'm sorry..."

"Okay..." He sighed, "Can we still be friends?"

"If it's not too weird..."

"Alright uhm... I guess I'll go..."

"Goodbye..."

"Bye..."

And just like that I watched him walk away. I even gazed out the window as he climbed into Frank's truck, and rode away. I went back into my bedroom and laid in bed. Tears welled up in my eyes. Before I could properly cry, my phone rang. I grabbed the device and slightly smiled as I saw who it was.

"Hey..."

"Hi..."

"You okay...?"

"Mikey and I uhm... we broke up..."

"What? Oh I'm so sorry." Before I could say another word, I sobbed. He tried desperately to calm me down, but I couldn't help it.

"I'm sorry..." I sniffed, "I know what he did. I know I'm in pain. But god..."

"Babe... it's okay... you can talk to me..."

"Thank you..."

Mclovin-
Holy fucking bingle!!!! Just a heads up updates might take a bit longer than they have been. I erm... I've been a bit busy. I'm still writing tho! Just not as much. Hopefully I'll get the time to write out a bunch of chapters soon like I did before. It's much easier than posting as soon as I'm finished so I can change stuff or whatever. I used to not do that n I think a lot of my writing suffered for it. Anyways, have a wonderful day peace out cheesebags
