Cherry Forever;

Part 2;


I felt a gasp ripple through Mike's body, and instantly knew my choice to show him how I felt was a mistake. Why do I ever listen to people about boys? I always make the wrong choice, time after time.

I just shook my head, and ran off stage in tears. I hid straight away in a seperate dressing room and slid down the wall crying. I honestly thought Mike liked me, maybe I'm just destined to be forever alone. The world seems to be better when theres no boy dragging me down. The sad thing is, I knew deep down how much I cared for Mike, I knew I was in love with him so I knew how hard it would be to move on from him.

As about 10 minutes passed, I heard some continuous banging on the door. I sighed, wiped my eyes and looked into a mirror to see all mascara down my cheeks. I groaned quietly, and picked up a wipe and tended to my face. I reapplied any necessary makeup and slowly opened the door and joined everyone else in the room where everyone was.

"Rachel. We need to talk." An immediate voice said behind me. I looked up with a pleading expression on my face, and shook my head moving over to Sam and Brittany before I broke down once again.

We all walked over to our bus about 20 minutes later, and quickly got in sitting anywhere. I made sure to sit next to Noah on the way back, who quickly wrapped an arm around me sensing my mood. Fortunately, he said nothing just held me. For that I was so grateful.

Just when I thought the night would be perfect, I had to ruin it by being my usual idiotic self.


It took 8 hours overall to get back to Lima, and naturally like I always do after a win in any of our sectionals/regionals/nationals competition, I invited the whole club back to my house. They all quickly agreed and we began a quick walk to my house, all dead on our feet. We quickly reached my house, and everyone went to a usual room that they slept in. After I shut and locked the front the door, I dragged my feet up to my room and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.


I woke up at 10, and went down the stairs to find I was the only one up. I was a little happy and sad at that fact - happy I'd be left to my own thoughts, but sad that I'd have to spent a while on my own enduring the prospect of me over-thinking everything that went through my mind.

I felt as if hours had passed when I felt a tap on my shoulder but really I knew it had only been about 10 minutes. I looked up with a fake smile on my face only to see the last person I wanted to see right now. Mike.

"Please, Rach we need to talk about last night." He whispered.

I sighed softly knowing I had no other option, because a) I was trapped in my living room with only him awake, b) I couldn't kick him out of my house and c) I knew he wouldn't give up till I let him speak.
