It's The Falling in Love

Chapter Thirty-Five

I laid my head on his shoulder, crying harder.

"We should get this done though." Michael softly said. At this point I could tell he was crying.

"I-It would be best.. Think about Mike." Michael quietly said.

I whimpered, "Don't be strong for me, Michael."

Michael shook his head, "I have too." He whispered as he started to sob.

Michael and I sat there, holding onto each other tightly as we cried.

My god.. I've never been this broken in my life.

I don't think Michael has either. 

"Alright, alright." I softly said, letting go of Michael.

I wiped my eyes, "Enough crying." I sniffled.

Michael slowly nodded, gulping. "Agreed." He softly said.

"Um.. L-Let's just finish the planning." I quietly said.

Michael held onto my hands. "Okay." He said, looking into my eyes.

I blushed, "Okay." I whispered back.

"I-I don't want a lot of people.. Wait, do you mind if it happens h-here?" I softly asked.

Michael smirked, "I don't mind at all, Mia."

I let out a small smile, "Thank you." I said, feeling relieved.

"I don't want a lot of people here. M-Maybe just your family?" I questioned.

Michael furrowed his eyebrows. "Nobody else?" 

I slowly shook my head, "I don't have anybody else.. I-I even don't mind if Jermaine and Hazel come along.." I shyly said.

Michael nodded, "Okay. I can arrange that."

"I don't want a big service. Just.. A f-family get together, kind of...." I felt embarrassed.

"I-I know they aren't my family b-but I-"

"It's fine, Mia. You are family to us." Michael smiled, squeezing my hands.

I blushed. "We'll just get together and remember Mike for his three years... A-And it's okay to get emotional about it." I softly said.

Michael nodded, "Of course.."

"I-I really don't know what else...." I admitted.

"Do you think you'd announce your pregnancy then?" Michael carefully asked.

I sighed, "I'm not sure. It's going to be about Mike that day, Michael. Not about me or my baby." I quietly said.

Michael nodded, "Of course, of course.." He mumbled.

"Mike was real close to your family...." I softly said.

Michael smirked, "Yeah.. A beautiful boy he was." Michael quietly said.

I gulped, closing my eyes. He was.... 

"Mia?" Michael softly asked, shaking me.

I opened my eyes, a few tears escaped as I stared at Michael.

Michael sighed, "It's going to be alright, Mia." Michael quietly asked.

I shook my head, "Michael, I just lost my baby yesterday. How the hell am I supposed to be okay?" I whispered.

Michael's lip quivered. "I'm trying, Mia. I-I'm trying.." He softly said, looking down. I watched him slowly cry.

"Stop trying, Michael.. It's okay to cry." I softly said, touching his back, pulling him closer to me.

Michael slowly held onto me as we both started crying again.

"I'm so sorry this had to happen." Michael sobbed.

"I-I could've done something, Michael. I-I truly could've.." I whimpered, putting my head on his shoulder.

My shoulders shook up and down as I sobbed in his arms.

Michael rubbed my back.

 "I feel so alone, Michael.." I cried.

"I-I.." I could've speak at that point. I started to break down in his arms.

"Shh.." Michael rubbed my back.

"You are not alone, Mia." Michael whimpered.

"I'll always be there for you because I love you." Michael said.

I whimpered, "Don't do this to me, Michael." I cried, letting go of him.

"Please.." I whispered, touching his chest.

Michael leaned in and kissed my cheek. "I'll always be there for you." He said, holding onto my hands.

I bit my lip. "Forever?" I softly asked, raising an eyebrow.

Michael nodded. "Forever."
