The Boy In The Back (Muke)

26

It had been a week and a half since Michael took my virginity. We had fucked twice more.

I was sitting with him at lunch, as I had been for the past week and a half.

He was late to lunch one day, and I began to worry. However, I relaxed when I saw him. I didn't know where Liam was, but I assumed that he was home sick or something.

"I need to talk to you." He stated.

"Okay. Is everything okay?" I worried.

He shrugged and looked down at the ground. Then, he looked right into my eyes.

"I can't do this anymore, Luke. I can't. We're done." He said.

It took me a minute to process it. He watched my reaction the whole time. I repeated the words slowly in my head. Twice.

"Y- you don't want me anymore." I could barely even whisper.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"Why? What did I do wrong?" I questioned. "I promise I can fix it. I can work on it. Just give me one more chance. I promise I'll fix it."

"Luke, stop. Please just stop. We're done, alright?" He coldly stated. His face, his tone, his eyes showed no sign of regret or sorrow.

"Michael, don't do this. Please. Please, what did I do? What did I do? Tell me, please." I was tearing up as I begged for him to stay. Or to at least tell me what I did wrong. I needed to know why he stopped loving me. Why I was no longer good enough.

"Stop." He stated. "We just can't keep this going. I'm sorry. I can't. We're over."

"Michael-"

"We never had a future anyway, Luke! This relationship was fucking pointless!" He snapped. "We're done, okay!? Now just leave me alone!"

I looked into his eyes for a moment before nodding and turning around. At the last second, I remembered the pretty promise ring he bought me. And the bracelet. I took them off and tossed them onto the table before walking out.
