Meant to Be

17 - Here Comes Another One

Michael POV

"No Diana I don't want to sleep with you tonight."

"But Michael, I'll have nightmares. I thought I was your girlfriend."

You thought, I thought, we all think things.

"Diana, I'm just... not feeling well." Where did she get this girlfriend stuff? I never said we were together. And just because I have a huge bed, doesn't mean I want to share it just because of her childish sleeping problems.

"You're never feeling well Michael. You brought me here. We live in the same house. When are we going to get to sleep together?" Diana grabs pyjama's out of her dresser on the side. She's in her underwear, but this makes no difference to me. Yes, she has a nice body, but for some reason I feel no physical attraction to her at all. Maybe if I try hard enough, if I squeeze my eyes really tight...

"MICHAEL! Are you even listening to me?"

"Huh? What?" I wasn't listening to her, hoping she would get mad, but it doesn't help.

"Aww, Mikey, what am I going to do with you?"

"Goodnight Diana." I rip her skinny ass hands away from my face and walk out of her room.

Skinny ass? I never used to curse so much. What changed me so much?

"Hope you dream of me Mikey boo." She blows a kiss.

Right. I'll dream of her. After that display I think I'll have nightmares of her.

I wake up in the middle of the night from a dream I had. I was sleeping with someone, I cant recall who, but I knew she was the one. It was an amazing feeling. Our hair was covering each other's faces and our legs were tangled up. We shared body heat, both of us melting in each other's arms. But the feeling didn't last long when the dream turned into a nightmare.

I looked over and I saw that the person was gone, and Diana was now in the bed with me. The wonderful feeling was completely drained. She was not the one. She started to kiss me roughly and force herself on to me and I could not stop her. Suddenly our clothes started to come off...

"Michael? Mikey, wake up." I wake up to Janet calling my name and shaking me. A wave of relief went over me. It wasn't real. But why did it seem so realistic? Like a memory? Or dejavoo?

"Good morning Janet."

"You're gonna be late. Get up!" Janet pulls me out of my bed as I tried to shake the bad dream out of my head. I am definitely not going to be in a relationship with Diana anytime soon. She isn't the one.

"Michael? Who is this?" Diana holds up a picture from my dresser. Why was she going through my things?

"That's my ex girlfriend back in Gary." I rub my eyes as I speak with an attitude I didn't expect in my voice.

"Tatiana, my arch nemesis, is your ex?" Arch nemesis? Who does Diana think she is? Doofenshmirtz?

"Yeah. Got a problem?" Her mouth drops to the floor and she stares at me with the eyes of a snake.

"Close your mouth. You might catch flies." Diana pops her mouth closed and storms out of the room, dropping the picture behind her. I pick it up, blow off the dirt and tape it up on my wall of pictures and posters. Dirty Diana. That's what everyone at school calls her. I can see why.

Destiny POV

"Heaven I'm sure I saw them! You told me I wasn't drunk, which means I couldn't possibly be hallucinating! Zendaya? Come on!" Zendaya just shrugs her shoulders. Heaven is pacing around the room looking for answers.
