This chapter's kinda angsty - and also, really short - and some of you may be mad at me for this chapter, but I promise you that it'll all work out.

"Should've kissed you there,
I should've held your face.
I should've watched those eyes,
instead of run in place.
I should've called you out,
I should've said your name.
I should've turned around,
I should've looked again.
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away.
Should've held my ground,
I could've been redeemed.
For every second chance,
that changed its mind on me.
I should've spoken up,
I should've proudly claimed:
that oh my head's to blame,
for all my heart's mistakes.
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away.
And it's you, and it's you.
And it's you, and it's you.
And it's falling down, as you walk away.
And it's on me now, as you go.
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away.
And it's falling down, as you walk away.
And it's on me now, as you go.
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
I 'm staring at the mess I made.
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away."
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
It was bugging Bee. It was bugging him a lot.
Why did she put other's happiness before hers? She always wants everyone else to be happy but he knows where her true happiness lies.
Bethany had been talking about that art college for months upon months and yet, she didn't take the offer to go. Why? Because she wanted to be with him.
And then she, along with her brother, made the point of him going back to the Autobots and helping them out. They were practically his family, his oldest friends... but she was his girlfriend, his first love.
Even so, she said that he should go. If he went to be with the Autobots, then she would go to college. It was going to be a hard for Bee to convince her, but he remembered something, that was so cliche...
If you love something, then you should let it go. And if it loves you as much as you do, then it'll find it's way back to you.
It wasn't look they would never see each other again, and besides, maybe Bethany living a normal life would be good for her.
Transforming into his holoform, he entered the house, and rushed into Bethany's room, causing her to yelp in shock.
"Bee, what are you-" she was cut off as she watched him grab her suitcase underneath her bed and starting packing her clothes.
"You're going to college." he stated. "In compromise, I'm going to be with Optimus and the others," he looked over his shoulder, "like you wanted, right?"
Her eyes widen. "W-what? Bee-"
The blond grabbed a few of her art products, placing them on top of the folded clothes. "You always think about other's people's needs and wants, like how you wanted your brother to be happy and you broke off whatever we had. So, you're going to go to college and be happy, while I go with the Autobots and take down whatever remaining Decepticons there are."
"Bee stop." she orders, stepping towards him. "Stop, stop!" she tried shoving him away from her suitcase but the mech was too strong.
He huffed. "Why can't you stop being so selfless? Why can't you just be happy?"
"Why are you yelling at me? Is it so hard to make the people around you happy?"
"And they are!" Bee responded, turning around to face her. "It's your turn to make yourself happy."
She bit her lip in irritation to make sure she didn't raise her voice any louder. "I am happy Bee, right where I am."
Her boyfriend shoke his head. "No, no you're not. Ever since you started senior year, the Academy of Art University had always been your first choice. You couldn't stop talking about it. So, I making you go. You'll be happy and you wanted me to be happy, so I'll be going with the Autobots. When you're finished with college, we'll met up again."
"Did you not understand me?" she pushed Bee away from her suitcase and glared at him. "I am happy. My parents are going to Paris, the city of love, my brother is going to college and try to live a normal life, and I'm happy with my boyfriend. Everything's perfect. Why can't you see that?"
Bee was silent for a few moments, before replying, "I know you Bennie, better than anyone does. I know when you'll truly be happy and it's not now. You'd be more content with fulfilling your dream as an artist, making the best cartoon show with the best animation... best everything."
She shoke her head, tears brimming in the sides of her eyes. "You must not know me at all then."
Bee was taken back, his own eyes widening. "But I do-"
"No, no you don't." she pointed at him. "If you knew me at all then you would know that I'm more than happy with the one I love, who's right in front of me. You would know that even if I wasn't able to get into that college that I would still be happy. I would still be happy because you're still here."
"I... I make you happy?"
The brunette nodded, the tears no longer being held back. "You will always make me happy," she used the sleeve of her shirt to wipe her tears away. "No matter what. If the whole world turns to shit and the only thing that's left are you and me, with your arms around me, then I'll be the happiest woman on earth."
Bumblebee gulped, his eyes knitting in confusion. "I always thought that college would make you happy since that's all you ever talked about."
"You're so stupid Bee." she started hitting his chest, but with her crying, the hits were soft, but he could tell, she wanted to prove her point somehow. "W-we... we bonded."
He gasped. "What? What did you say?"
"You could never tell? The Autobots could... Megatron could... Bee, we bonded and that's why I'm content with you no matter what." Bethany sniffled. "I thought you could always tell..."
"Bennie, I-"
She shoke her head. "Just go, Bee. Go,"
He knew that there was no use with trying to apologize to her - she was just too stubborn. The blond sighed in defeat, walking towards the door. When he looked back over his shoulder, her back was facing him, her fingers unzipping her suitcase.
Bee wanted to turn around, run to her and kiss away all the pain and sadness he caused her. Why did he have to be so stupid? Why couldn't he see that a mech like him would make a beautiful human girl like her happy? They bonded - a human and a mech, something's he never heard of - and how couldn't he tell?
He closed the door behind him, hitting his head over and over, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
As soon as he left the room, she started unpacking, the argument started running through her head, the tears rushing down her face.
Suddenly, she heard the loud engine of a car. She ran to her window and watched as a yellow Camaro drive down the street at a fast pace.
Continuing to furiously wipe away her tears, Bethany threw her now empty suitcase on the floor and sunk onto her bed. "Why Bee? I thought you knew... I thought you always knew..."

The brunette was awoken by loud knocking from her front door. She grumbled at the noise, but it continued on. She put on her jacket, running downstairs and opened the door. "Mikaela? What's wrong?"
"It's Sam," she answers, causing Bennie's eyes to widen. "He's okay, don't worry. From what he's told me, he keeps seeing these symbols because of a piece of the Cube that was stuck in his shirt."
"That's how the mechs in the kitchen came to life."
The dark haired teen nods. "Yeah and he had this weird meltdown and like your grandfather, is going crazy from those symb-"
She was cut off by muffled noises coming from the metal box she was holding.
Bethany looked at the object in confusion. "What was that?"
Mikaela kicked the box. "A little Decepticon that was trying to get into the shop's safe. Anyway, I bought us two tickets to get to Sam as quickly as possible."
"Okay, I'll just go change out of my pajamas-" before she ran upstairs, her brother's girlfriend caught her hand.
"Your eyes, they're all puffy like you've been crying all night. What happened? I didn't see Bumblebee when I pulled up."
The brunette felt the tears start to well up in her eyes but she gulped them down. "We're had a little fight and afterwards, he just took off."
The other teen smiled at her. "Whatever happens, I'm sure you two will work it out. But if you ever need anyone to talk to... I'm here. I won't let Sam hog me all to himself."
Bethany chuckled. "Thanks Mikaela. I'm glad my brother has you." she returned the smile before rushing upstairs to change. She slipped off her pajamas and put on her ripped blue skinny jeans, tank top, gray long-sleeved sweater and her American flag Converse.
She ran back down, and locked the front door behind her, where Mikaela was waiting with a cab outside.
Once she got into the car, the driver asked, "Where to lovelies?"
"Airport ASAP," Bethany responds.
The cab driver made it to the airport in good timing. The two girls made it up to the desk, where the man questioned to Mikaela, once she put the metal box down, "And have any strangers given you anything suspicious to carry on today?"
"Yea, a live bomb!" the tiny Deception yells, but it's still muffled.
Bethany gently hit the box, shutting him up. "No, not at all."
"Good."
I know that it's a pretty short chapter but my computer is doing all these weird updates whenever I turn it on and I almost lost all of my documents. Hopefully I'll get working back to normal soon and if not, updates might take longer than usual, sorry.
On a different topic just to talk with you guys, did anyone watch/play Life is Strange episode 4? Holy shit-balls, man! So epic and intense!
