Madison's POV

Ever since this morning I've been thinking about ways to get Michel to talk to me again. I was at school physically but not mentally, my mind is everywhere trying to figure out how to make it better. That's why I am currently laying in my bed deep in thought.

I messed up big time by not listening to him and I regret it. Its killing me not having him around, I miss him so much. How can I make it up to him. Well calling or texting is out because he'll just ignore them. Going to his house is out as well because he'll just have his family tell me he's sleep or not there.

Memories of me and Michael flash though my head like a movie reel then it came to me. I felt like a light bulb turned on over my head as the best idea possible popped up in my head. The time Michael caught me singing played in my mind clearly. The words "I love when you sing. It's so beautiful." Echoed in my mind as I grabbed a pencil and piece of paper.

I'm going to write a song about how I feel about him and sing it for him. I instantly start putting my thoughts and feeling on paper. I hope this works.

*3 days later*

Today's the day I sing it to him. I wrote a poem that I will recite before I sing to add on how I feel. I let Alyssa read over it and she said it was good. I'm scared as hell for the outcome but it's better than doing nothing. I was so focused on that, that I didn't realize I walked right into someone on the way to my last class.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you." I look up and see Bryson turn around. Greattttt of all the people in this entire school I could have ran into, it just had to be him. I mentally face palm myself as a grin spreads across his face. "You should start paying attention to where you're going." He chuckles. I let out a fake laugh and back up a little. This is really uncomfortable. I've been doing a pretty good job at avoiding him but I guess this is my karma.

"Where have you been lately? I've been looking for you but you went ghost on me. What's up with that?" He asked getting uncomfortably close to me. "I've been busy." I said backing up looking anywhere but him. "Too busy to answer my calls or texts?" He said still walking towards me. "I-" I started but got cut off by someone grabbing my arm and pulling me away.

"Mads I need to talk to you." I heard the voice say as we walk away. I could tell by her voice that it was Alyssa. Save by the fucking bell. I looked back at Bryson to see him looking at me with a creepy smile on his face that sent shivers down my spine. I need to step my game up with avoiding him because I get the feeling he has something up his sleeve.

Alyssa dragged me until Bryson was no longer in sight then pulled me into an empty classroom. "Girl, what was that about?" She asked me after she closed the door behind us. "I don't know, ever since the kiss he's been acting more touchy even though I told him it was a mistake. I've been avoiding him but I was in my head and ended up bumping into him. By the way, thank you so much for saving me. I owe you one." I sigh leaning against the wall next to the door.

"Anytime, he looked like he was about to eat you or something so I had to get you out of there. And yes you do. I'm already thinking about how you can pay me back ." She sat on a desk with her legs crossed and pretended like she was thinking. "I regret saying anything." I face palm while shaking my head. She laughs as the tardy bell rings.

"Welp, we already late. We might as well stay here." She said taking her backpack off and putting it in the chair that's behind the desk. "Bet." I shrug and sit in the chair in front of the desk shes on and put my backpack on the desk in front of me. "So you ready for tonight?" She asked facing towards me. I turn around so that I'm backwards in the chair and leaning on the desk. "No but honestly, I won't ever be. But I gotta do what I gotta do you know."

"YES GIRL, GET YO MANS BACK!" She yelled and snapping. "Shhhhhh, you're gonna get us caught." I sat up and hit her thigh. "Ouch my bad, damn. You ain't have to hit me." She wined rubbing where I hit her. "Shut up. I ain't even hit you that hard." I said leaning back on the desk. I layed my head back on my backpack and closed my eyes thinking of what's to come after tonight.

*later that day*

Ever since I got home, my heart's been pounding in my ears. This is it. It's now or never. I look in the mirror and hype myself up. "You got this. Just go over there and do your thing. Whatever happens, happens. Atleast I tried." I grab my radio, with the CD already in it, and the paper with the poem and song on it then head over to his house before I could talk myself out of it. I slowly make my way to the side of the house to see that his window is open and the light is on letting me know he's in there. Perfect. I lightly place the radio on the ground then take a deep breath to relax myself. Well, here I go.

Michael's pov

Lately, all I've been doing is laying in my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about me and Madison. I've been trying to stay away from her because everytime I see her, the image of her kissing him pops in my head. I've been listening to the voicemails she sends me and hearing the hurt in her voice hurts me. I can tell shes sorry for what she did and regrets it. I was going to talk to her when I seen her in the hallway today but I seen she was talking to that guy and just walked away.

I thought about talking to her after class since we have the same last period but she wasnt there. She must've been with him. But its whatever, shes not my girl. I dont care. But why does it hurt so bad? I let out a sigh and closed my eyes.

"You make me whole
Without you I am just an incomplete soul wondering around aimlessly forever lost
There is a hole in my heart where you should be"

I must miss her so much that I hear her voice in my head. Wait a minute. I get up and head to my window. I look out to see Madison outside my window reciting a poem with a melody I've never heard before playing from the radio sat on the ground beside her.

"I know it's my own fault but I never meant to hurt you
He was just a mistake of the past
But you are my present and my future
I miss your beautiful smile that shines brighter than 5 suns
I miss your laugh that sounds sweeter than the morning birds song
I miss when you held me
It was like safe haven I never wanted to leave
Lastly, I miss when our lips collided filled with love and passion so strong I could never get enough of it
It makes me-"

She looks up at me and starts singing.

"speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
When I'm with you I am lost for words, I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless, that's how I feel inside
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side
When I'm with you I am in the light where I cannot be found
It's as though I am standing in the place called Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
I'll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I cannot climb
I'm humbled in your grace
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away, and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless
Your love is magical
That's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like, I love you"

The melody playing from the radio fades and shes looking into my eyes with tears running down her face. We stare at each other in silence but after a minute or two, I tear my gaze away from her and walk away from my window.

Madisons pov

Warm tears streamed down my face as I look up into his eyes. He's expressionless face is making me nervous but it becomes evident that he has no intent on taking me back when he walked away from the window without saying a word. I drop the paper then drop to my knees crying harder than before with my head in my hands.

I should have listened to him. I'm so stupid. If I had just listened to him, I would be in his arms right now instead of crying my eyes out under his window.

Suddenly I felt a warm embrace from behind me that I've longed for, for so long. Without looking, I already know its Michael but I couldn't stop my tears. He says nothing at first but after awhile I hear him say "I forgive you." Thoes three words make me start crying even harder. I turned around and threw my arms around him, crying into his neck. He held me close like he would never let me go and I hope he never does.

* the next week*

Me and Michael spent the weekend in each other's arms just talking. He forgave me and took me back. I am the happiest girl in the entire world. I finally felt whole again and I know Michael felt it too because he didn't want to let me go, even when I had to go to the bathroom. Everything went back to normal, other than Bryson but I'm just gonna stay away from him like I've been doing.

Tapping my pencil on the desk, I look up at the clock anxiously waiting for the bell to ring so I can be released from this prison. The teacher's talking about something but I'm not paying attention. I look at Michael ,on my right, then Alyssa ,on my left, to see that they're not paying attention either. I'm suprised we're passing because we're either not paying attention, sleep, or skipping.

"BEEEEEPPPP" the dismissal bell rings. I quickly got all my stuff together and headed out the door with Michael and Alyssa right behind me. "Anyone know what he was talking about today?" Alyssa asks as we all walk side by side down the hallway. "Nope" I said shaking my head. "Not a word." Michael said grabbing my hand. We all laughed as we stop at our lockers. "We should have skipped today. Oh well. Anyways I gotta go, talk to yal later." She said waving. We both wave and say bye as she walked away then looked at each other.

"Sooo, you wanna come to my house today or we going to yours?" I ask holding both of his hands. "Oh snap, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you. I'm staying after to finish a group project for my chemistry class. You can go ahead without me and I'll come to your house after I'm done here. It shouldn't take too long." He said swinging our arms side to side. "Orrr how about I wait for you and we walk together?" I don't really wanna walk home alone so I don't mind waiting.

"You don't have to." He stopped swinging our arms. "I want to. I don't mind" I smiled. He kissed my forehead "Okay. I'll be back in about 30 minutes to an hour." He kissed my hands then went to the classroom.

I lean on the lockers and pull out my phone to make time past. I was scrolling through Instagram for five minutes til I heard a chilling voice right in front of me. "Hey Madison." I look up to see Bryson standing right in front of me. I quickly look around to see if anyone else is here but sadly, it's just us two. Damnit, why can't he just leave me alone. "Why are you avoiding me?" He said looking me dead in the eyes. I'm not gonna let him scare me so I stand up stright and make eye contact with him. "Because you've been acting weird and touchy. Its creepy as fuck." He let out a deep chuckle that had no hint of humor in it.

"Because I want you, and I know you want me." He said slowly getting closer to me. "I don't want you." I said moving back. "But we kissed, you kissed me back. I felt a spark, I know you felt it too." He said still moving closer. "I told you it was a mistake. I felt nothing. I have a boyfriend." I said backing up but shorty, I felt my back hit the lockers. Shit!

"Boyfriend? You mean Michael? He's nothing compared to me. I can do way more for you than he could ever dream of doing. Dump him." He's so close that his body is pressed against mine. His arms on both sides of me trapping me like before. "No I love Michael." I said looking away from him. He let out a deep dark chuckle and held my face so that I was looking at him. His eyes got dark as he said "I wasnt asking." Then he kissed me. This time I didnt kiss back. I tried to push him off but he wasn't budging. He grabbed my hands and held them above my head with his right hand. I tried to get out of his grasp but he was too strong. He pulled away but before I could scream for help he pulled out a gun will his other hand and put it in my face. "You might not want to do that. I love you but I will shoot you if you yell for help. Just stay still and take the love I'm trynna give you."

I stopped moving as tears flowed down my cheeks. I can't believe this is happening. "Stop crying, your too pretty for that." I flinched as he wiped my tears with the gun. "Have I ever told you have sexy you are?" More tears flow down my cheeks as he slowly traces the gun down my body then starts kissing my neck. I close my eyes hoping it will end soon til I feel the buttons on my Jean's be undone. "Wait, stop. Please don't do this." I please as my eyes fly open. He ignores me and keeps undoing my Jean's. "Stop, please stop." I start moving around trying to get away. He back off of me while still holding me down and looks me in my eyes with a smirk.

"Stop trying to get away because you're not. Just relax." His hand started making its way in my pants but was stopped when someone tapping on his shoulder "Hey." He turned around then, BANG. The person punched him so hard that he went unconscious and fell to the ground in front of me.
