Michael's POV

Thank God it's Friday.

This week was terrible for me.

The audition went bad, being told that Kaitlyn was kissing another guy and Ariel got rushed to the hospital last night and Kaitlyn was being very rude.

I really think our relationship is about to be over.

What she said about Ariel was terrible.

And Prince...

I can't stand him. He also over protective. I can't even give a little love to my friend.

When Latoya says stuff about Kaitlyn, I feel like she's making stuff up but when Ariel says stuff about Kaitlyn, I know she's telling the truth.

It's kinda crazy that I believe my friend over my sister.

Kaitlyn raised her hand.

"Yes Kaitlyn." The teacher answered.

"May I go to the restroom please?" Kaitlyn asked nicely.

"Go ahead. Make sure you get the restroom pass on the door right there." The teacher smiled.

Kaitlyn got up and walked out of the room.

"Okay class. For today's assignment, we're going to be doing notes. Please take out your composition books."

Everyone did as they were told and start to talk a little bit while the teacher got the projector ready.

"Hey, what happened to Ariel? This morning, mother said she got rushed to the hospital last night?" Marlon whispered picking his notebook off the floor.

I sighed and looked at the teacher so I won't get in trouble for talking.

"She fainted." I mouthed.

He grew a sympathetic face.

"Man. I hope she's okay." He whispered.

"Why? You don't care about her. Remember those times you used to tease her?" I recalled.

"Yeah, I do that to everyone. Just because I tease people don't mean I don't like them."

I shrugged and copied the information down from the board.

I hope Ariel is okay now. She should be leaving the hospital hopefully.

It feels weird without Ariel here.

I work with her in Algebra class almost all the time if the teacher lets us.

Now, I'm in English class. She's in my English class and she sits on the right side of me.

The seat is empty and I feel weird working alone while the other students are working with partners.

Marlon leaned in "I saw Kaitlyn this morning kissing this other guy in the restroom." Marlon whispered.

My heart stopped.

"Are you sure or did Latoya tell you to tell me this?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes I'm sure. Why?" He asked.

"Because every time she talks about Kaitlyn, I think she's lying."

"Apparently she's not lying. I swear Kaitlyn was all over that guy this morning. I don't understand why she was in the guys' restroom." He made a disgusted look.

"Did you break up with her or something?" He asked.

No but I think I will.

"No talking! Do your work!" The teacher coached

I sighed and raised my hand for the teacher's attention.

"May I use the restroom?" I asked.

"Go." She pointed the door.

I hopped out of my seat and left the room and made my way to the restrooms.

She could be in the guys' restroom kissing someone right now. I want to know if it's true.

I heard it from my own brother. He didn't even try to break Kaitlyn and I apart ever and to hear that coming from his mouth, kinda made me think it's true.

Second of all, Kaitlyn has been on her phone for the longest and didn't have a nerve to text or call me back. I texted her after she left the hospital room and told her that she was rude. This morning, I sent her a loving and thoughtful good morning text. She read it and didn't answer.

Third, she's been really mean and "borrowing" things from me. Like my clothes and my money. She asked me for a few dollars and said she'll pay me back but she didn't.

I turned the corner to see Kaitlyn beside another guy in front of Latoya, taking to each other. I'm far behind Kaitlyn and Latoya is turned faced me but doesn't notice me.

I kept my body behind the wall and my head poking out so that I can eavesdrop.

"You can tell him. He still won't believe you. Y'all are making yourself look ridiculous to Michael." I heard Kaitlyn say.

"Just do it again, I'll make sure Michael comes and see you cheat on him. He doesn't deserve to be with a person like you." Latoya pointed at Kaitlyn's face.

"Why doesn't he deserve me? I mean, I'm pretty and I'm a model, a cheerleader, I'm becoming famous." Kaitlyn flipped her hair.

"He doesn't deserve you because you're a two timer bitch and a gold digger. You're using a guy to have sex with you because Michael won't do it to you."

Wait...

What?

"Yeah, it would've been more better if Michael would've did it with me then I wouldn't have had to use another guy for sex."

"Kaitlyn, you've been using me for a long time. I believe ever since before you and Michael got together." The guy spoke.

Latoya gasped and covered her mouth.

"So you used Calvin before you and Michael got together? What the hell is this?!" Latoya raised her voice. "And Calvin, you let her do that to you?!"

"No! For the last time!" Calvin argued.

"See. This is why Ariel is a better person for Michael. She's not a hoe ass bitch like you. She's more better. She doesn't lie, she's loyal, she's not a gold digger, and not a spoiled brat."

"Michael doesn't think that. He thinks that she's a bully and a terrible person. And Michael thinks I'm the best thing in the world. Well... I am the best thing." Kaitlyn boasted.

"Besides, she's dating that ugly ass guy.... uh... Prince. Whatever his name is and she's trying to get Michael too. So she's a two timer too."

"Wha- how in the world is she trying to get Michael? She's trying to help Michael to get away from you! I heard that you told Michael that you're a virgin! You lied to him!" Latoya clenched her fists.

"I told Michael that because I didn't want him to get hurt."

"You could've gave my brother HIV! You probably fuck ten guys a day!" Latoya assumed.

"She actually forces me to have sex with her almost every night." The guy added.

I gasped as my heart broke into pieces after what I've heard.

I can't believe that all came out of their mouth.

I didn't want to listen to any more stuff so I walked up closer behind Kaitlyn.

"Kaitlyn?" I said her name.

My heart tore some more and my voice is shaky. My eyes are watering and I'm trying to keep my tears in but it's not helping.

Every breath I take gets shorter and shorter, trying not to bust out crying. There's a big lump in my throat and it's hard to swallow.

Latoya gasped and Kaitlyn looked at me scared and try to play it off with a smile.

"Hey Michael. W-What ya doing here baby?" She smiled and held her hands out for a hug.

I growled and backed away.

"W-what's wrong?" Kaitlyn asks nervously.

"You know what's wrong! I heard everything you said Kaitlyn!" I yelled.

"Yeah Kaitlyn. You got caught." Latoya smirked and crossed her arms.

"You were cheating on me?!" I pointed at my chest.

Kaitlyn sighed and hesitated every time she wanted to say something.

"Okay- look-"

"After all I've done for you?!" I cut off.

"Micha-"

"After we said we love each other and that promise we made about cheating?!"

"Michael I'm sor-"

"After all the damn money I've spent for you?! After thinking about you day and night and checking if you're okay whenever you're not answering my calls or texts?!"

"Michael. I'm so sorry. I really-"

"No. I can't trust you anymore after you lied to me! Sorry is never going to work! I've wasted two fucking months with a two-faced bitch!" I spat.

I can't believe I just said that.

That's my very first time calling a female a bad name.

But she deserved it.

I'm hurt and broken. I feel stupid and embarrassed now.

"Sorry Michael I-" Kaitlyn's voice gets lighter as she starts to cry.

"It's over." I finally said.

"W-what?" Kaitlyn let a few tears run down her face.

I took a deep breath and clenched my fists.

"I said its over!" I cried.

Kaitlyn stopped and start to cry. In her eyes, I see hurt and I can tell I broke her heart.

I sat on the floor with my back against the lockers and start to cry in my hands.

I feel bad but I shouldn't feel this way.

It's her fault for doing this to me.

She broke me, now it's her time to be broken.

She just lost the best guy in her life.

Kaitlyn sped walked away from us and start crying louder as she walked through the hallways.

I can't believed I doubt my brothers, my sister and Ariel.

They were trying to tell me but my dumb self wouldn't believe them.

I feel so stupid.

"I told you so." Latoya said after a long awkward silence. "We all told you so." She added.

"I-I know." I stuttered trying to catch my breath from crying too hard.

"I'm sorry Michael but next time you should listen to us. Don't put your girlfriend over your family. I hope you learned your lesson now that you know it's real."

I can feel a lot of shame right now.

A lot of heat covering my body and my destroyed heart.

☆

After school I went upstairs to my room. I didn't really talk the rest of the day after breaking up with Kaitlyn a few hours ago.

I'm supposed to go to basketball practice today but I decide not to. I'm really not in the mood for it.

All my brothers went to practice and I'm alone with just Latoya and my mother and isolated in my room.

I start to go through the pictures in my camera. My camera is full of Kaitlyn and I during our two month relationship.

I keep thinking about the memories..

The good times we had.

The kisses and random hugs..

I miss that.

My dumbass spending a lot of money on her...

I didn't miss that.

I wish that I can get two months of my life back after I've wasted it.

I know it's bad to hate myself but I do because I didn't believe anyone who told me that she was a mess.

I feel completely stupid and I don't think I'll ever stop feeling this way.

This is embarrassing.

So Kaitlyn must be bullying Ariel since I found out that she was cheating on me and lying to me all this time.

That probably explains Ariel's bruises.

I feel really bad for Ariel.

She's innocent, she's sweet and she can be a little mean at times when I'm acting stupid.

She cares about me...

I knew I should've dated Ariel when I had a crush on her but Kaitlyn came to my life and ruined it.

I would probably be happy right now if she didn't come into my life.

I would've been calling Ariel my loyal girlfriend, kissing her and probably cuddling her right now. Prince wouldn't have her and he would've been jealous of our relationship.

Just more than happy.

But Ariel is with Prince and he's enjoying her and having all the kisses and cuddles that I want.

This is all my fault.

I deleted all the pictures of us and slammed my camera on the ground.

Latoya suddenly walked in my room and closed the door behind her without knocking.

"What do you want?" I sniffed.

"Can I talk to you?" She asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"About what?" I rolled my eyes and sat up.

"Kaitlyn." She pulled her phone out of her pocket.

I let out a big sigh and pointed at the door.

"Get out. I don't want to talk about her."

"We have to talk about her. You only know a little bit about her and you don't know all of it."

"What do you mean?"

"Listen. You remember that guy you saw with her the other night in the bathroom?" She recalled.

I nodded my head and raised an eyebrow.

"That's Calvin. That's the guy who said that Kaitlyn been forcing him to have sex with her and we're going to call him and ask him about Kaitlyn." She start to type on her phone.

I can't believe this is happening right now.

"She doesn't even look like a person that'll rape people though."

"Don't let that fool you cause she is." She put her phone to her ear and flipped her hair.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes while waiting for Calvin to pick up the phone.

We sat there just listening to the phone ring until we heard a "Hello"

"Hey Calvin this is Latoya." She said excitedly.

"Oh we're just wondering if you can talk to us about Kaitlyn."

"Okay I'm gonna put you in speaker so that Michael can hear you to." She pulled her phone away from her ear and tapped "Speaker Phone"

"Okay Calvin. You can talk."

"Hey." I heard a deep voice.

"Hi." I said quietly.

Latoya handed me her phone and scoot closer to me.

"Hey. What do you want to know about her?" Calvin asked.

"About what she does to you and if it's true or not. I don't know you so I'm not sure."

"First off, its true man. I just got done talking to one of my friends about her and he said that it's true because she does the exact same thing to my friend. I learned that today."

Another guy?

"Hold up hold up. So she doesn't just fuck with you, she fucks with another guys too?!" Latoya raised her voice.

"Yeah and I have some more proof. I exposed her on Instagram. My friend sent me a video of her forcing him to have sex with her. She was hitting and punching him in the face and the camera was hidden behind some books."

I felt some tears form in my eyes and my face heat up.

"Then, I posted a few pics of some bruises and scratches she gave me but I don't think a lot of people will see it because I only have a few followers. I need more followers so that everyone will know that she's horrible and needs to be in jail."

That's terrible.

"That's okay Calvin. I'll help you get some more people to see all of that. This is payback for trying to have everyone to hate Ariel and having everyone to call her mean names."

"But that's a bad thing to do. Latoya don't expose her like that. Just tell the police or her parents." I defended.

"Michael. I swear I want to slap the hell out of you." Latoya gritted her teeth and held her hand out.

"This is what she gets for breaking your heart, this is what she gets for being a gold digger and a hoe, this is what she gets for lying! Nobody doesn't know anything about her! Everybody is stuck, thinking that she's a little sweetheart and girlfriend goals when she's really not! She lied to everybody about Ariel and it went viral and now it's time for us to say the truth about her and make it viral!" She blurted.

"Aye that's right." Calvin agreed.

I stayed silent, taken back from her words.

"I bet if we bring Ariel to the call, she'll tell you everything about Kaitlyn that you denied." She rolled her eyes at me.

She snatched her phone away from my hands.

"Calvin I'm gonna add Ariel if that's okay with you." Her voice got softer as she start to type on her phone.

"It's fine with me. We need to lay out all the things about Kaitlyn anyway....Oh isn't she in the hospital?"

"She was in the hospital last night. She's probably home now. I texted Ariel about all of this and she didn't answer."

"Didn't she have a heart attack?"

"No Calvin. She just fainted. The stupid news made a little lie." Latoya said annoyed.

"H-hello." A light raspy voice came through the phone.

"Hey Ariel. We miss you. I kinda thought you were gonna deny my call again after fifty times today. Are you doing okay now?" Latoya's eyes lit up.

We heard some sniffles and the sound of her crying softly.

"No." She softly said.

"Why not? What happened? Did the doctor tell you that you have a disease or something? What happened?" Latoya stood up from the bed, looking concerned.

"No.. I-I-am healthy- I just-uh on my uh- period." Ariel sniffed.

"Uh. That's a little TMI." Calvin spoke.

"Eh. Ari. You're on speaker and Michael and Calvin can hear you." Latoya chuckled a little.

"Whatever." Ariel start to silent cry some more.

"Can you talk to us about what Kaitlyn does to you?" Latoya asked.

"N-no. I need to go. Bye." Her cry got a little more louder.

"But Ari-" The phone beeped, signaling that Ariel ended the call.

Now it's just Calvin, Latoya and I.

"What's wrong with her?" Calvin spoke.

"I don't know. I may have to talk to her later to see what's up. I feel bad for bothering her." Latoya sat back down on the edge of the bed.

☆

We talked and about Kaitlyn over the phone with Calvin for about an hour until it was time for dinner. After dinner, I went straight to bed and cried the whole night.
