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
Micah povPreviously on last chapterWe need to talk. She says with her eyes flashing with anger and there was just one thought on my mind. * Uh oh***** Err... What? I asked paying dumb. It is either she realize that the letter is about her or it is about the way I have avoided her as if she has a plague... No, if she has a plague I would totally not avoid her. Dont play dumb with me Vegas. You know what Alyssa said taking on the offensive. If you mean the fly in your hornet then I can assure you that I have absolutely nothing to do with it. You might want to find the person who put the fly there to pick a bone with. "I said without hostility. I know, I know. I am asking for it and a fool for trying to anta
Previously on twenty four Alyssa was quiet for a while before she lifted her head and looked at me directly in the eyes the asked me a question I always wanted to hear before I discovered I had tumor. "Is this about the fact that I never saw you as anything more than a friend, your letter made that clear. I am the person the character in the letter was talking about right? She asks looking at me straight in the eyes, my heart leaped out of my chest...****Micah pov.My heart leaped out of my chest as blood rushed into my ears as all I could hear was a piercing whistle like sound. No, this is not the time for her to figure it out, she is not supposed to know, and I cannot drag her down to my world of hospitals and sickness. She is better off without me. I said to myself, I try to convince myself but my heart ref
Alyssa povMy heart is breaking. No, it has broken. I was not dating this guy but he still broke my heart. What an irony. I always thought that the person who could not break my heart in this earth was Micah but still he did, I unknowingly gave him my heart and he just broke it, although I don't think that he knows that he broke my heart, the Micah I know would do everything possible to make sure that I am happy but then again this Micah is different from my Micah. I don't have to be a genius to know that something big is happening with Micah and he is keeping it from me on purpose, it is no longer funny or enjoyable. I thought I was giving Micah the space he wanted but it seems like I should not have done it. He must see it in a way that makes me the guilty party like he needed me and I was too busy playing hooky with Jake to pay him any attention. What he does not know is that he wanted me away from him, I
