Urgh, for some reason this site is being shitty with me, so I apologise if I don't update in a while, cos I might not be able to access the page. But I shall persist.

Michael's POV...
The party last night absolutly sucked. Not only was it packed to above maximum capacity, but some drunken guy attacked Mia.
I was on the other side of the room, completly bored out of my mind, when I saw her walk in. And I couldn't help but watch her. I'm totally falling for her again, and I can't help it.
Then this guy sits down next to her and I could see he was making her uncomfortable. I excused myself from the group of bogans Holly was making me socialise with, and headed over to Mia to save her from this loser. Just as I get there I see he's forced himself on top of her and she can't get him off her.
What was I supposed to do? Leave her? I was ready to hit this guy the second he'd sat next to her, but now that he was attacking her I was ready to kill him.
Luckily for him I'm a wimp and settled for pulling him off her and throwing (or rather dropping) him to the ground.
Poop Mia, she was so upset. Lars took her straight back to her room.
I meanwhile, was left to endure the party without her. Holly wasn't very impressed with my saving Mia. Everyone else was, but not her. But I think by the end of the night it had gotten around that some huge guy had saved her by beating the guy and throwing him outside. Then, apparently Mia and her huge rescuer ran off and eloped. Ha! I wish.
"Why were you even watching her anyway?" Holly asked me. She came over early this morning, I don't know why because we hadn't arranged to do anything and I was planning to sleep till at least noon.
"I wasn't watching her," I lied. "I just happened to glance over and see her being attacked. What did you want me to do? Not help her? If that happened to you would you want me to not help you?"
"That's different, you're my boyfriend, of course you'd help me."
"So? What if I'm there when this guy attacks you? Mia's boyfriend wasn't there, but I'm sure he appreciates the fact that there was someone there to help Mia when she clearly needed it."
"She... she has a boyfriend?"
"Yes." Much to my digress.
"Good, she can keep her hands off mine then," she walked over and kissed me on the cheek, as if what she'd just said was a compliment and not something a stalker would say.
"Now, I have to go, I want to go shopping before your show tonight. But I'll see you tonight, ok, baby?"
"Ok, buh-bye."
As soon as she was gone I got dressed. I figured that now I was up I may as well go see if Mia is ok. Hey, there's no harm in asking right?
I headed over to her dorm, making sure I looked ok.
The door flew open mere seconds after I'd knocked. A pair of arms flew out and wrapped around my neck, and a shrill voice exclaimed, "Alex!"
If she hadn't said that, I would have been happy. I would have been more than happy, I would have swept her up in my arms and run. But she clearly hadn't meant for it to be me at the door.
A second later she pulled back, embarrassed. "Oh, sorry, Michael, I thought you were, um..."
"Alex?" I finished for her.
"Yeah..."
"Sorry to disappoint you," I said, a little off put.
"No, I'm not disappointed. Just surprised. I wasn't expecting you and I thought Alex would have been here by now. Come in," she held the door open and I walked inside.
Her dorm room was pretty small, especially since she had to share it. But I suppose it would do.
I sat down on her bed, there wasn't really anywhere else to sit. "Um, I just wanted to see if you are ok, you know, after... after last night."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to you." She sat down on the bed opposite hers, her room mates I guess.
"Oh good. Um, you're still coming tonight right?"
"Yeah, definitely. I wouldn't miss it..." A knock on the door interrupted us.
Mia jumped up and ran to answer it, this time she checked to see that it was actually Alex before throwing her arms around his neck and screaming in his ear.
"Hey, babe," Alex greeted her, lifting her up in his arms.
I looked away as they kissed, not wanting to see because it would make me want to hit the guy. And he actually seems like a decent bloke. Damn.
Eventually they broke apart and Mia turned back to me, "Alex, this is Michael. Michael, this is Alex. You two haven't been properly introduced."
"How you doin' man?" Alex asked, extending his hand to me.
I reluctanltly shook it, "Uh, fine thanks. You?"
"I'm much better now," he responded, smiling at Mia like a kid in a candy store. Lucky git. "So you're Lilly's brother right?" he asked.
"Yeah, unfortunetly."
"I bet she was a hard one to grow up with."
Mia playfully poked him in the ribs, "Hey."
"You could say that. I'd better get going, but I'll see you both tonight."
I started to walk towards the door, but before I'd even gotten outside they'd forgotten about me, because they started with the, "I missed you so much, blah blah blah..." rubbish.
But maybe I'm just jealous.
