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
Alyssa povI don't care what Micah told me, he is hiding something from me. I don't know what but I know that it must be big since he needs to keep it from me. Micah don't keep anything from me. For crying out loud, he told me about his first kiss and when he was deflowered. We are that close. Not that there was any doubt. Our first subject for the day its English, Micah favorite class before and when I mean before, I mean before he started to get all weird and everything. Now any time there is a class, his shoulders gets tense not that it is noticeable that much but I am his best friend, I know all his little tells. I wish he would just tell me what is wrong for God sakes. I hate being kept in the dark then again the reason could be that it is because of the girl he loves. I know that I haven't been very supportive or calm when it comes to her but still there is no other explanation. I don't know why but my heart is tel
Alyssa pov.Within a week, the letter has gone viral. It already gained national recognition as one of the best literary piece written by a teenager. People wanted to interview Micah but he turned them all down, don't even get me started about the girls in school. They all realized that Micah is cute all of a sudden. I don't know what is it about guys that seem broken that attracts girls who wants to try to fix them. In Micah letter, he keeps on saying that it is fiction but no one wants to believe that, me included. I know for a fact that it is not fiction since I have seen the way Micah has been acting because of that annoying little turd of a girl. She broke his heart and didn't even give him a second thought. Wait a minute I should know this girl, Micah is very close to her, who are the females that Micah is close to. Me and his mother, at situations like this I feel like I don't know Micah and it
