Micah pov

I can't believe that about Alyssa parents even if I saw her father acting broken, I refused to believe it. It just isn't possible. They were one of the forever couples I knew about. One of the only two. My parents being the other. I know that anything can happen even a tragedy as big as this but come on. This is Alyssa life we are talking about, her world. Everything has to be perfect and under her control.   It isn't possible any other way.

  Any way whatever happens, I am here for her, I will always be here for her. To the best of my capabilities. She is too sad for my liking, I hate to see tears in her eyes, and I hate to see sadness in there. I have to remove her mind from what is going on around her. And I told her just that. 

  Hey remove your mind from that okay. 

  Where would I put my mind instead? She asked with her hands folded across her chest. 

  Your new cheer leading squad this year. I replied. I think that Tiffany shouldn't be on the squad. 

  "She has to be on the squad, she is the best flyer in the whole school. Alyssa argues

   No, she is not. My sister is and she can finally apply, besides Tiffany is a senior like us. Do you want the squad to break down when you are no longer here and all its key member has left for college too? I ask her. I have to present a very good argument about removing that slut from the team. You may ask why I am carrying it on my head like it was my mission in life. I will tell you this. 

   Tiffany is just like Alyssa, she gets what she wants and lately, what she wants is Jake and Alyssa position as head cheerleader. That is just not going to happen. I can't let it happen on my watch. Right now Alyssa only control what happens in school, if she does not control that, she controls nothing and I don't want to imagine what will happen to her if she does not control anything. You may think she is a control freak but to me, that is just Alyssa. 

   Why are you so determined to remove her from the squad, she has not broken any rules and she is very good at what she does. What do you have against her? Alyssa asks raising an eyebrow at me. 

  * She is going to steal your boyfriend and turn you into a social outcast, she is as wicked as that and evil too. She will ruin the cheerleaders squad and spoil their mind against you. You will hate your life. * I can't really tell my best friend that. So I said instead. I don't just trust her. 

   I know. And I also know that you hate it when I am around those you don't trust but there are some things in my life that you can't have control over. Alyssa said softly 

  Like your choice in boyfriend. If I had a choice in that decision. Jake Stanton will never see your shadow. I mumbled but based on the fact that Alyssa eyes are glaring at me. I know she heard my mumblings.

  Well. It is a good thing that you had no choice in that decision. Why are you so against us dating? " 

  Because there is difference between a prick and a rich prick. Jake is a rich entitled prick. It is bad enough that he is a prick but he is also rich. He is not good enough for you Al, he is not even good enough to brush the dirt off your shoes I burst out. I know right now that I sound jealous and all that, but what am I to do. Al never listens to me when I am trying to protect her. Although she doesn't know that I am trying to protect her. She lives by examples of her mistakes not examples of other people mistakes. 

   When we were seven, she want to stay out all late watching people watching. I begged her that we should go home, she refused. We went home that night in a police cruiser. When she was ten she wanted to do pole jump although she had never done it before, I begged her to start small but she refused and started like a pro, she dislocated her arm and don't get me started about the time that she tried stake boarding without any protective gear because of a bet of fifty bucks. Her allowance on a week then was five hundred. I am glad that she quickly found her sport. Cheer leading. If she had continued with trying different sports, I would have died when I was thirteen because she shaved off years, off the normal age I would have died. 

  You sound so much like my dad. Alyssa said after staring at me for a while 

   What. I asked confused and relieved that she he didn't suspect I have feelings for her. I mean I will tell her someday but I don't want it to be when I am criticizing her boyfriend. 

  You sound so over bearing like my father, especially when it comes to boys. I know that you don't date girls all that often but I like Jake a lot and I wish you would have a girl who makes you happy. Alyssa said patting my shoulders in a patronizing way. 

   I hate that so I shrug off her hold on me. * I like a girl a lot. In fact I love her and she make me happy. She is just not my girlfriend. * I don't need anybody like that in my life. 

  You do. All you need is the right girl... Alyssa says going off with making plans about my life and hers but just not together. 

* I have the right girl in front of me. * stop matching making me. There is a girl I like. I raised my hand to stop her from talking. Yes, you know her, no I won't tell you her name. So please stop match making me like my mother do. I already have a woman on my back urging me to bring a girl home because she suspect I am gay and she really wants grandchildren and Michael might not be able to provide children for her based on the fact that he is gay, she wants me to do it. I already have her on my case so please drop the issue. " 

  Gosh, you rant like a girl. Alyssa complains 

  Alyssa. I warned 

  Fine, fine, dropping it. If only you drop mine. She says with an eye roll. 

 I will. 

  Would be better if I can go on couple dates with my best friend though. She mumbled. 

  Alyssa! 

 Fine, dropping it for real this time. " she says with smile.
