When my mom got home I told her everything.

"We we're dating and he broke up with me." That's what I said. We sat on our couch hugging for hours. I could tell she wished she could be there for me more. She missed me so much when she was gone and I missed her even more. The only things I wanted from Mike were affection and love. He took advantage of the fact my home was so broken. To think I actually loved him and trusted him.

He showed up at the door so many more times, my mom turned him away for me. I would have probably let him in and got back together with him, which would be stupid.

Months passed we became year 11s. He was still trying to talk to me. I know I should hear him out but it's hurt to much to see his face.

It's the present now, September of 1988. El, Max, and I haven't talked to Mike sense. He still shows up at my door sometimes, i'm thinking of just hearing him out at this point but there is still this anger inside. Like i'm still so made he used me and played with my feelings.

When I went home from school, I felt like someone was following me. I shook it off because obviously i'm just really anxious. Still i had a feelings.

When I went to close the door, a hand stopped me. "Hello?" I said. "Will it's me, Mike. I understand that you don't want to talk but this is the last time, I swear." I didn't want to let him in but something was telling me that I should. I've been avoiding from almost a year now. "Fine." I opened that door.

"Are you here to apologize? Because i'm not that gullible anymore." I looked in the opposite direction. "I know, and I'm actually really sorry. My apology is stupid and of course you don't have to hear me out because I was an absolute dumbass." he continued, "It was some stupid bet that the stupid football team made up and now i realize what i've done wrong. I realized that I didn't a lot of stupid things and i've matured. I stopped hanging out with those guys and i know that I actually am gay. I also realized that it was dumb of me to play with your feelings because along the way I actually fell in love with you. I still broke up with you though because I didn't think it was love. So i'm sorry."

It felt almost like a script. He did something so horrible to me but deep down those feelings I had for him a year ago were still there. "I- uhm." I didn't know what to say to him. "We can be friends again if that makes you feel any better." I said. "Really? You don't have to." I nodded my head. I'd been avoiding this conversation for to long, I had to make it up to him. Even if he didn't deserve it at all.

"You made up with Mike? Seriously Will what the fuck?" Max yelled as we walked to class together. "Yes yes, I know it was a bad idea but it's been a year." I said. "Still you know what he did!" She was so mad at me. It was understandable but it's my life. "I know, he deserved to be heard out." I said.
