THE BEST THING FOR HER

After she hang up the phone warm tears slowly run down her checks... Why do these things happen to her... why can't she just be a normal person. She was at a loss, and don't know what she would do next. All she could think about was Michael. She know she needs to clear things up with him before she leaves but she felt that she doesn't have the energy to face Michael, break-up with him and say god bye. She continued crying and the next thing she knew was she was packing her things up in her room... then while going through her night stand drawer she came across her old diary when she was a freshmen in high school. She slowly opened it up and sat at her bed. She came across entry that she made on her first flight to Genovia. While reading it, she can't help herself not remember the moments she and Michael shared that year. As memories come back another set of tears welled up her eyes. How she wished everything had stayed as it was back then, when everything was so simple...

Mia laid in her bed clutching her old diary hear her heart so tightly as if never wanting to let go of the past. She stayed at that position for about half an hour crying, too lost in her emotions that she didn't even hear her mobile phone ringing. It was the ringing of her house phone that took her out of her bewilderment but she dismissed the call for she thought it might be Michael calling and she is not yet ready to face nor speak to him right now so she got her pillow and put it over her head trying to avoid the sound of the phone ringing but as she did so her gaze shifted to her nightstand where a famed picture of Michael lays. Again she was lost in her emotions, she just stared at his picture for sometime and as she tried to reach out to the picture she heard that front door open...

On the other side of town, in a very expansive restaurant, a young man waited impatiently.

"Where the hell is Mia?" He asked himself as he looked at his watch, an hour has already passed since the time he told her to meet him. He tired calling her in her mobile phone for sometime now but she is not picking up, and no one is picking up the phone in her apartment either. He began to worry and decided to check up on Mia thinking that something might be wrong.

"Mia I thought you are going out with Michael tonight?" Lilly said when she saw the light in Mia's room was open as she entered their apartment.

"Hum, maybe she just forgot to turn her lights of." she said to herself when she heard no answer. But when she entered Mia's room to turn of the light, she saw Mia lying in her bed crying...

"Ei, what's the matter?" Lilly asked her best friend as she came near her bed...

"Michael..." Mia uttered as she continue to sob, still staring at Michael's picture...

Hearing this form Mia she knew immediately that her brother did something wrong. Before Lilly can ask can to confirm her presumptions the doorbell rang, at first she wanted to dismiss it but the person outside was persistent so she decided to answer it and to tell the person off...

"Is Mia here?" Michael harshly asked as he enters the apartment with our even heeding his sister.

"What the hell are you doing here?" shouted Lily, infuriated by her brother's actions.

"I'm looking for Mia, Is she here!?!" Michele losing his patience turned to the stairs leading to the bedroom.

But before he could take a step Lily garbed his arm "and what will you do if she is here huh?"

"I'm gonna ask her where the..."

"and what if I tell you that she is here?" Lilly cut him off. "That she is here in her room crying the whole night because of you?"

"I need to talk to her.." Michael said quickly as he turned away fro Lilly and started heading to the stairs.

"No Michael!" Lilly stopped him. "I wont let you hurt her again!"

"What the hell Lilly, get out of my way!" Michael said pushing Lily aside.

"Do you Know Michael how long she has been hurting because of you?" Michael stopped hearing what Lilly said, "Do you know how much she is trying to be strong for the sake of you relationship? How many nights she cried because of you, because of your neglect, carelessness and jealousy." Lily blurted out. "Michael she has her own life, own responsibilities to face, like you got your own. But also like you, she needs you to be there also for her"

"But I guess your band is more important to you than her right? Which make you forget that you have a girlfriend here waiting patiently for you. She loves you so much Michael, so much that she even put her other priorities aside because of you. And what did she get in return? Huh? Nothing!" Lilly shouted. "You don't deserve her Michael." And with that Lilly went upstairs to Mia's room

Michel was left there at the foot of the stairs, stunned about what he was told. Realizing that everything was true.

As much as Michael wants to talk to Mia and straighten things out, he knows it was not the right time for her and for him. He needs time. Time to assets what he was feeling and consider what is good for her. He left the apartment didn't know what to do. He just walked around the university the whole night trying to remember the past months. He thought everything was going fine. They were happy right, at least in his point of view. How could he be so stupid not noticing that there is something wrong? Was he really that busy to notice it? Why didn't Mia say anything? He was at a loss; he has so may questions in his head trying to find the right answers. But one thing he knows for sure, he still loves Mia with all his heart and he wants her to be happy. With this he knew exactly what he needed to do, he needs to let her go. He doesn't want her to suffer because of him anymore. She deserves to be happy even it means it was not with him. He needs to do this now before it's too late and he'll just hurt her even more. At least now he would still have a chance to tell her how he truly felt for her before thy go their separate ways.

It was about 6 am when Michael reached Mia's apartment. He rang the doorbell and luckily it was Mia who answered. Guess Lilly was still asleep.

"May I go in?" Michael asked as soon as he saw Mia.

Please R&R....
