Thanks to my reviewers!!! I love getting feedback!
We walked to my jetta and Micheal took my keys and drove to his apartment. I could tell he was upset that I was considering leaving him for New York, but he didn't talk.
Once we were inside his apartment, I took my jacket off and sat on the couch. Micheal took off his jacket and went into the kitchen.
"Want anything?" He asked quietly.
"No, thanks," I replied in the same manner.
He shrugged and grabbed a snapple for himself and then sat on the table right in front of me. He said nothing; just drank his snapple, waiting for me to start.
"I know that you don't want me to go, Micheal," I started, looking down at our feet, "And you know that this is my big chance to be somebody. But I can't be somebody without you. If I have to choose between following my life long dream and having a life with you, I choose you. You're what I've been chasing for the past 3 years, Micheal, and I can't picture life without you. If you don't want me to go, I won't. Just say the word and I stay, like you stayed on Earth for me," I finished and I still hadn't looked up to see his reaction.
I felt his finger under my chin and I slowly lifted up my head to show him I was crying. His expression softened. He looked as if he was fighting an inner battle; ask me to stay or allow me to go.
"Ria...You never asked me to stay behind, I stayed because I knew you were it for me. I'm going to do the same and allow you to follow your life long dream because I know that you will come back to me. No matter what everyone thinks, I know that you and I will make it. Sure, we fight like cats and dogs, but how boring would that relationship be if we didn't. I mean, look at Max and Liz," He joked, and I smiled slightly, "There's that smile. I love you, Maria. And if this works out for you and you still want me around, I'll follow you to New York. If it doesn't, I will be here waiting for you, but I don't want you to ask yourself 'what if' later on in life, okay?" He said wiping my tears as I wiped a few of his.
"Are you sure, Micheal beca-"
"You are going, no if's and's or but's about it, Maria Rose DeLuca," He said standing up and pulling me into a hug, "You deserve a chance at this, Ri, and I'm not gonna be the one that takes that away from you," He whispered into my hair.
I pulled back slightly and kissed him soundly. "I love you so much, Micheal!" I said when we parted, and hugged him again.
"God knows how much I love you, Maria," Micheal whispered and we sat down on the couch and talked about all the things we'd missed out on when we were broken up.
