Chapter 1
"I'm throwing away pictures that I never should have taken in the first, place. And it's cold in my apartment as I'm changing all the colors from the brightest reds to grays" came the familiar sound of the song 'If You Wanted a Song Written About You All You Had to Do Was Ask' by: Mayday Parade (1). I was sitting in my apartment and it seemed as if my entire world had crashed around me since a few days ago when I found out my long time boyfriend Kyle was cheating on me. I'd been sitting in my apartment for days just staring at the ceiling. I couldn't eat, I could barely sleep, and I refused to open the shades... the sun was to happy for my depressed mood. I was holding a pillow and had my eyes squeezed shut, I could feel myself about to cry again. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I screamed. My head whipped around to see my best friend Mike standing there smiling. I paused my music and took off my headphones. He walked around and sat next to me. "How'd you get in?" I asked forgetting one small detail.
"I know where you hide the spare Izzy, you said I could come over whenever, remember?" he said trying to hold back a laugh at how lost I was. I've known Mike since forever and he's the closest friend I have ever had. He saw how dark my apartment was and saw that my eyes were red. I hadn't talked to him since I broke up with Kyle, so he didn't know. He looked at me in concern. "What's the matter sunshine?" he asked softly. I happened to be the happiest person he met, so I was his little ray of sunshine. I smiled a little.
"You're not even trying and yet you can make me smile" I said sweetly and looked down at the floor. He didn't like that I was avoiding the question. He quickly turned my head back to look at him and locked my crystal blue eyes with his beautiful blue/grey ones. "You know I can't stand when you do that" he said coolly.
"Do what?" I asked trying to get him to move on, but he pushed further.
"Evade things I ask you"
"Mike-"
"No Iz, what's up with you? You never frown, I have never once seen you frown... except for the times when you've hurt yourself... or when someone else hurts-, wait... is it that stupid little fucker Kyle?" I didn't say anything, but my eyes watering up was enough for him to know that what this was. "I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna fucking kill him" he said turning the other way and getting up to get his coat from the wall hook.
"Mike wait" I said getting up and going after him. He turned to me.
"What'd he do?" he asked straightly.
"Mike just calm dow-"
"What did he do Isabel?" his eyes narrowed and I was wondering why he was getting this worked up.
"Mike, calm the fuck down, okay? You're scaring me" I said. He sighed and ran a hand back through his hair.
"Alright, alright, you're right... I'll sit down" he went and sat back on the couch and I sat right next to him and leaned over on his shoulder, Miz always made me better, just because I knew he cared as much as he did. He was running his fingers through my thick, wavy, chestnut brown hair that went down almost to my hips. "Why are you so overprotective?" I asked wrinkling my nose a little. He chuckled a little.
"'Cause Iz... you're like a little sister to me" he answered sweetly kissing the top of my head.
"I'm not that much younger" I said looking up at him.
"8 months younger is still that much younger" I rolled my eyes playfully. "Now, what'd he do?"
"Oh my God Mikey"
"What did he do that is so bad that you don't wanna tell-"
"He cheated on me, okay? And you damn well know I hate telling anyone shit that hurts this much!" I said sitting up and hugging my knees against my chest.
"He had better hope I don't run into him any time soon" Mike mumbled under his breath. He wrapped me in a hug from behind. "Look Izzy... I'm leaving for my next event tomorrow, and I want you coming with me, I can't leave you here by yourself, and don't try and wriggle out of it with some bullshit lie because we both know you don't know how to like to me" he said softly in my ear. I thought about it and sighed in defeat, he's right, I can't lie to him, it's a bad habit that I need to learn how to break. "Alright Mizanon... I'll come" I said. He let go and spun me around to look at him. He smiled widely.
"This is gonna be awesome" he said. I rolled my eyes know his catchphrase all too well from watching RAW, Main Event, and Smackdown every week. "You wanna stay at my place tonight so I don't have to worry about you not waking up tomorrow, because I know how you are when it comes to sleeping" he asked jokingly. I nodded slightly and before I realized anything that was happening he had yanked me up off the couch, helped me with my coat, and we were driving away in his car.
