Disclaimer: The characters in this story belongs to Meg Cabot, the song CRY belongs to Mandy Moore. However the story line belongs to me, also the bands STONED SOUR, BOXCAR RACER, OUR LADY PEACE, MUDVAYNE and SILVER CHAIR belong to themselves (they are mentioned in this chapter.)

Summary: This chapter takes place at Lilly and Michael's appartement. Mia and Michael get alittle closer. If I say anything else I will give the whole chapter away.

A/N: This chapter is really short as well. It was originally part of HEMORAGE but I decided that they should be sperate chapters. I promise the next will be longer!

CRY

I'll always remember
it was late afternoon
it's lasted forever
and ended so soon
you were all by yourself
staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
in places no one would find
all your feelings so deep inside
it was then that I realized
that forever was in your eyes
the moment I saw you cry
the moment I saw you cry
it was late in September
and I've seen you before
you were always the cool one
but I was never that sure
you were all by yourself
stairing up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
in places no one would find
all your feelings so deep inside
it was then that I realized
that forever was in your eyes
the moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you...
I wanted to make it go away...
I wanted to know you...
I wanted to make your everything...
I'll always remember,,,
It was late afternoon...
In places no one would find.

Chapter 3
Michael and Mia went back to Michael and Lilly's appartment. Though nobody was their Michael showed Mia into his bedroom. Mia had been going to that appartment ever Friday since she was in kindergaurden (with the exception of the time she had chicken pox) she had never been in Michael's room. Sure, she had gotten a few glimpes into it, but actually being in it she was a little disappointed. She had such expectations of the mysterious bed chamber. It was like any other teenage guys room. There was an un-made full sized bed in against the window of the far wall. A pair of flannel pajama pants were laying on the end of the bed along with a wifebeater. Must have been the ones Michael had slept in last night. There was a t.v., vcr, and several video tapes laying on the floor. Over in the corner was his amp and guitar. Then their was a his computer desk cluttered with books, papers, magizens, computer disks. Beside the desk was a sterio surrounded by cds. Covering the hard wood floor, exept for a trail to the bed, was cloths. The walls were covered in posters of bands: OUR LADY PEACE, SILVER CHAIR, STONED SOUR, MUDVAYNE, and BOXCAR RACER, his favorite bands. On the wall behind the bed was a bunch of snap shots of diffrent poeple. Some of him playing with FlyPaper, some of him and Lilly, some of Mia and Lilly...anyone important in his life. "If I would have been expecting company I would have straitened up alittle." Michael picked up some of his boxers and put them in a cloths basked. He was blushing alittle.

"It's okay, this way I can see it in it's natural state." Mia smiled.

"Have a seat." Michael gestured towards the bed. He pulled his chair towards the bed and set down in frount of her.

"Are you feeling okay?" he asked her again. He was still concered about her.

"Much better than I was before. Thank you for today Michael, it means alot to me." Mia smiled.

"I feel so at ease when I'm with you. I have never felt this way around any girls. It's like I can be myself around you, like I don't have to put up any barrers around me."

"I'm glad. I like spending time with you. We should hang out more often." Mia smiled.

"That sounds great. I'm here for you Mia, anytime you need me, I'm here. You can tell me anything." Michael took her hands tightly in his.

"Anything?" Mia asked raising her eye brow. She adn Michael were once more inches from kissing when the phone rang.

"I'll be right back." Michael kissed Mia's hands.

Mia's hear was pounded fast as she layed back on Michae's bed. It was a few minutes before Michael came back in the room, he walked in the door to find Mia asleep in his bed. Gentally he pulled her blankets over her, kissed her on the cheek then walked out of the room.
