"I am melting!"

She said with a huff,trying to fan herself from the hot weather that was going on.

"It is cruel to have school during those hot days."

The male with purple hair complained,wiping the sweat off his forehead as he put his hair in a high bun.

Scott chuckled,teasing his bun as Vincent glared him.

"We have to hold on,school ends in a few days anyways." Jeremy softly stuttered,exhaling deeply.

The girl looked over to her brown haired friend,seeing him wearing a long sleeve shirt.

"Jerebear,I think you would feel better without wearing long sleeves."

The male next to her slightly stiffened,lowering his head as his fingers gripped on the books he was holding.

She raised an eyebrow,about to place a hand on his shoulder but another hand stopped her.

Her eyes shifted towards the male with freckles on his cheeks,looking at his big round glasses that were shielding his eyes.

"(Y/N),don't question it."

He whispered and gently pulled her away,as he was next to Jeremy.

Turning a corner in the hallway,they finally reached their lockers.

She put the combination on hers,opening it.

But as she opened it,she looked next to her,seeing a locker with a sticker that said 'Fuck Off' with a middle finger.

"Guys,where is Mike?"

The males didn't say anything,as they were rather loudly shuffling around the lockers.

She huffed,softly frowning as she got some books from her locker and closed it.

They won't talk?Fine then,I will corner them.

She smirked and placed an arm around Jeremy's shoulder,as he slightly jumped surprised.

His green eyes peeked through his brown hair,looking over to her with a small smile.

"Hey,you scared me." He softly chuckled.

"Sorry Jerebear,but I have a question.You and Mike are pretty close friends.Do you know where he is?"

Suddenly the male started shaking under her touch.

His green eyes clouded,looking inside his locker as he gripped the little locker door.

"Why are you asking?"

"Well,because i am calling him and he doesn't pick up the phone or answer my messages?"

Suddenly another hand wrapped around (Y/N) and  gently got her away from the shaking male as Scott softly chuckled.

"Come on (Y/N),as if you don't know Mike.You know he is always like that."

"But he didn't come to school in the last three months."

He shook his head with a sigh,as the bell chimed meaning the beginning of class.

She sighed,shrugging her shoulders as she pulled herself away from Scott.

She went to her first class of the day,taking a seat at her usual desk with a huff.

She placed her chin on her palm,looking around the classroom as it was slowly filling in with students.

She looked next to her,noticing the empty desk.

The teacher walked in,as she brushed all hopes she had away that he would probably come.

She turned her gaze to the textbook,opening it as she played with a pen in between her fingers.

But then,the door opened,rather rudely without a knock.

"Schmidt,next time please knock."

When Mr.Fischbach uttered his last name the girl suddenly beamed,looking over to the door with a smile.

His frowny blue eyes were a must for Mike,as he scoffed,making his way towards his desk.

Her heart started beating faster,swallowing hard in her dry throat as her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Mike,long time no see."

"Yeah,hi I guess."

He dropped his butt on the chair,fixing the beanie on his head.

She looked around the class,noticing the teacher was facing the white board.

She leaned closer to his desk.

"What happened?Are you alright?"

He huffed."Rooftop for lunch.I will tell you then."

She smiled,finally feeling she will get some answers.

~~

Do you love him?

When Vincent asked her that question,it was stuck in her head every since.

Maybe she was,and she wasn't embarrassed to admit so.

She exhaled deeply,sitting on a bench on the rooftop.

Was it risky because they will probably get detention?

Absolutely,but both they didn't care.

She looked up at the blue sky,closing her eyes as her mind traveled back when it all started.

When her feelings started developing.

It was the sports festival at school,and the usual group of friends decided to go around and enjoy what the school have prepared.

They have prepared it with food stands and many athletic events as well as a baseball game with another school.

She was munching on a hot dog,trying not to laugh at Mike's awful puns.

"Oh come on!That was a good one!" He softly laughed,as she shook her head to 'no',making him pout.

The baseball game would start soon,and they started making their way towards the bleachers.

But a certain hand pulled her her back.

She looked back confused,seeing his blue eyes were shining and a smile on his lips.

"Fuck the game,I have a better idea."

She raised an eyebrow,looking at him curiously as he started dragging her away from the field.

"Wait!The others!"

"They can manage,they are almost adults!"

She laughed,rolling her eyes at his childish behavior.

It was actually the first he saw him,smiling,not complaining and generally enjoying himself.

It was a good change.

They were outside of school,walking a few blocks away before he finally stopped,showing a pretty run down apartment building.

"Why are we here?"

"Heh,you will see when we get on the top."

She looked at the male with widen eyes,watching him run into a dark alley.

"Mike!Wait!"

She rushed after him,seeing him climb a rusty staircase.

"Is this even safe?"

"Who cares?Come!"

He chuckled,climbing up with eagerness.

She smiled,following the male all the way to the top.

She tried to find her breath,since going up so many stairs weren't her forte.

A big hand helped her to get up,feeling his warm hand against hers.

"Now,lay down and then you will see it."

She was about to question him but he had already laid down,looking up with a smile.

She rolled her eyes with a smile,laying down next to him as she looked up.

The night sky.

It was decorated with so many beautiful stars.

They were shining in the darkness,making her smile.

"The stars are so beautiful tonight."

She slightly tilted her head,looking at him as his blue eyes were still looking up with a smile.

"I like coming here.It is probably the only building that you can see the stars so clearly."

She found it hard to believe,but she didn't want to interrupt his way of thinking.

He exhaled deeply,closing his eyes with a smile.

Her eyes looked at his relaxed face,feeling her cheeks were getting warm.

Thump.

Thump.

Her heart was thumping against her chest everytime her eyes would notice a feature of his.

"I am so glad that we are alive and we are sharing this moment together."

His voice made her spine shiver,as her mouth went dry for a second.

He opened his eyes again,looking over to her with a toothy smile.

This was the moment,that her feelings changed for him.

She always wanted to keep her feelings hidden,feeling that if she confessed,he probably wouldn't feel the same,afraid of ruining their friendship.

He didn't show any signs of interest,but then again she couldn't really rely on them.

The sound of a door opening made her open her eyes.

She looked over to the door,seeing an angry male slamming the door closed and was mumbling  swear words under his breath.

"Who irritated you again Mike?"

He ignored her,continuing to swear under his breath as he took a seat next to her.

He exhaled with frustration,removing his beanie and running his fingers along his bald head.

She slightly smiled.

"I see you rocking the bald look as always."She slightly teased him,tickling his side.

But he rudely pushed her away.

"Jesus (Y/N) stop it for fuck's sake!"

She blinked,rather surprised.

She was the only person he wouldn't yell at,yet he did it anyways.

She knew something was up,something was wrong with him.

She scooted a bit away from him,looking down at her lap.

After a few minutes of him calming down,he sighed and looked over to her.

"I am sorry,i am having a rough time in my life at the moment."

She sweetly smiled,patting his shoulder reassuringly.

"No worries bald head,I can never get mad at you."

"Stop."

She blinked confused,looking at him.

"Don't do jokes with my bald head."

"But you said-"

The bell chiming interrupted her,as he huffed standing up.

"Wait!Mike what is going on."

"You don't want to know."

"I do!You are my friend,I care about you!"

He scoffed."Go hang out with the other guys.I am out."

He opened the door and left,as she was standing there clenching her hands into fists.

~~

Face against the pillow.

Groaning in annoyance.

She was mad,but also hurt.

Why is that bald fucker mad again.

She tilted her body slightly,taking the pillow in her arms and hugging it tightly.

Did I do anything wrong?But I haven't seen him in three months.

She exhaled deeply,hiding her face once again on the pillow.

Ding.

She softly groaned,as her hand reached to grab the phone.

With half lidded eyes looked at the lit up screen,and she slightly jolted up.

"Mike:rooftop,now,at the rusty building."

She didn't even get to reply as she jumped off the bed,wearing some clothes since she was in her pajamas and rushed outside.

She was panting heavily,almost out of breath when she reached the building.

It was pretty far away,but she didn't care.

She took a small break,and then started climbing up the stairs.

He was looking at his phone,checking the time but then he suddenly noticed a hand was reaching out and trying to get on top.

She managed to get up,exhaling deeply.

"Jesus I did the work out of the year."

He rolled his eyes with a small smile,only for his smile to disappear shortly after.

She approached him,looking at him with a smile."I am here.Tell me."

He lowered his head,avoiding her eyes.

"(Y/N),you are one of the people I love and trust the most."

She found it hard to swallow,rubbing her wrist nervously.

"But I don't think we should continue hanging out."

She widened her eyes,parting her lips to say something.

"End of discussion."

He walked past her,towards the staircase.

Her hands turned into fists,about to explode as she tried to fight the tears back.

"No!"

She turned around,grabbing his arm as he looked back at her surprised.

"You aren't going anywhere without an explanation you little fuck!"

He huffed,as his tired blue eyes seemed sharp glaring at her.

"Don't stretch the situation (Y/N)!"

"You are gone for three months,without saying anything to anyone,and you come back,treating me like this and now you are leaving your friend?"

Her grip on his arm made him clench his jaw,yanking his arm away as his hands were turned into fists.

He was trying to keep his calmness,but she didn't stop.

"Talk to me damnit!Why are you hiding your feelings like a coward!What happened to you,you are never like this!"

"I was always like this!"

"No!" She approached him,placing her hands on his shoulders and looking into his eyes."The Mike I remember always wore a smile on his face and he was full of life.This is the Mike I remember falling in love with!"

His blue eyes went wide from that sudden confession,making his heart to beat,leaving a stinging sensation behind it.

He pushed her hands away from his shoulders,softly huffing.

"Maybe I am not full of life anymore.You don't love me (Y/N).No one can love the person I am."

He turned his back to her,about to walk down the staircase.

"I do Mike!I do love you so much!Everyday the thought of you is inside my head.Every since we came here to look at the stars I fell in love with you.I never thought I would fall in love with you but my heart that day started beating so fast for you!"

He clenched the stair railings,his eyes were avoiding her gaze as tears started building up on his eyes.

"Even if you decide to ruin that frienship,then let me tell you that;I love you Mike Schmidt."

She slightly clenched her shirt,the spot where her heart is as she felt her legs were shaking in place.

"(Y/N)."His voice cracked,mumbling something under his breath as tears started rolling down his cheeks.

She lifted up her head,looking at him who was silently crying.

"What." She gently asked,slowly approaching him.

The grip on the stair railings tightened,making his knuckles white.

"I am dying!"

The moment he uttered those words,she stopped.

Her legs were slowly going numb,tilting her head as if she didn't understand.

"What?"

"What didn't you understand?" He angrily spouted,looking at her with tears staining his cheeks."I am dying!"

He huffed,wiping the tears from his eyes as he was still holding on to that angry stare.

"I bet now you don't want to love a dying person huh?One day I am here and then next i am not.I don't even deserve love."

He started shaking,getting himself back on the rooftop,looking at her.

She was paralyzed.

Her legs were about to give out as her eyes were cloudy.

"What's the point of loving anyway?It was a mistake,loving each other is a mistake.Even if I do admit that I have feelings for you,they will go to waste the moment I die."

Her heart ached,so did his.

They were both crying.

Their hearts were crying for those feelings that were hidden away all this time.

She managed to lift her head up,looking into his blue teary eyes.

But then,she moved foward.

Her hands gently gripped his jacket,bringing their bodies close as her lips touched gently against his.

It's not true..
Tell me I've been lied to.
Crying isn't like you..
Oh-oh-oh
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to..
Let someone see right through.
Oh-oh-oh

His teary eyes were wide,almost blurring his vision,but his heart couldn't hold back as he wrapped his arms around her body,kissing her back.

Maybe won't you take it back
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn't mean to say "I love you"..
I love you and I don't want to.
Oh-oh-oh

Her hands traveled towards his cheeks,cupping them as she felt his tears along her fingertips,and his hands were resting on her back,gripping her close.

Up all night on another red eye.
I wish we never learned to fly..
I-I-I
Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie.
I didn't mean to make you cry..
I-I-I

Their lips danced softly against each other under the starry night,holding on to each other so tightly.

They pulled away for a moment,only for him to give her a small smile.

The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dying..

But his eyes still held tears and sadness,breaking down as his pressed his face on her shoulder,sobbing and holding her close.

She clung onto his jacket,leaning against him and trying to control her tears,pressing her face to his shoulder too.

Mistakes.

Were they really a mistake?

Having a blooming love to people who are dying.

It is like a flower is finally growing and opening its petals,only for someone to rip it out of the ground.

Their bodies were laying on top of the rooftop,as her fingertips were carefully tracing along his bald head.

"Cancer.Had it from a young age but after sessions of chemotherapy it went away.We thought it was a miracle,only for this fucking thing to return now.Everything was going so well,but three months ago it appeared again."

He exhaled deeply,tilting his head and looking at her."I am sorry for going away without telling anything,and acting like an asshole to you,and pushing you away."

He gazed away,feeling the tears were returning.

"I just didn't want to hurt you more in the future."

She smiled,rather a sad smile,as her fingers went under his chin and turned his head,placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"I will be here until the end."

"(Y/N)."

"Hush." She gently interrupted him as she pressed another kiss on his lips,caressing his cheek with her fingers.

He smiled through the kiss,cupping her hand that was on his cheek.

They pulled away and wrapped their bodies together in a cuddle,as their eyes shifted towards the night sky with the stars.

"I just hope I get to meet you in another life,and live our love there,since now in this life there is this mistake."

She smiled,closing her eyes and turning to her body to the side,curling up and clinging against his figure tightly.

She opened her eyes again,due to the tears,softly smiling as she tried to wipe them away.

Her fingers clung into her black clothing,as one of her hands rested on the spot that his body was once laying down next to her.

She smiled,with tears were rolling down her cheeks as she turned her body,looking back at the night sky and gazing at the bright stars.

"Even in another life,I will wait for you Mike."

I will wait for you.
