38 - my beautiful girl

"You don't understand," He sighs and puts a hand on his chest. "My girl, the one that I...the one from the game. I talk to her everyday, I see her as much as I can. I really like her, Maddie."

"And she's just okay with the game? Did you tell her?" I ask softly.

His eyes begin to glisten as he nods, "I told her and she was heartbroken. She was disgusted, so I know how Ashton feels. I know exactly how he feels. That's why I hated when you found out. I knew how much it was going to hurt you."

He finishes and angrily wipes his face with a hand. I feel bad for making him upset, so I reach across Peter and comfortingly touch Michael's shoulder. He glances at Peter and I can tell he doesn't want to get emotional in front of him. He smiles anyway and puts on a happy face.

"She took me back. It was hard, but she's giving me a second chance. I hope you can meet her one day, Maddie. She's absolutely perfect," He blushes with a shy smile.

"I'm happy for you, Michael," I say honestly. I wish everyone could be as happy as the boy in front of me is.

"You did move on. You moved on with this Ashton guy, didn't you?" Peter blurts in a judging tone. I lean further away from him and stare at my lap.

"And I'm guessing the douchebag cheated on you?"

"Careful, mate. That's my brother you're talking about," Michael says extremely quiet as he reaches for another cookie.

Peter looks up at my ceiling and I watch as his jaw clenches hard. I just want to talk to Michael alone, I'm tired of Peter.

"You should go," I tell Peter and he looks at me, narrowing his eyes. He scoffs before standing up quickly. I watch him start angrily throwing pillows off the couch as he looks for his keys.

He finally gets them and walks towards my front door, slamming it loudly as he leaves.

"Wow," Michael raises both eyebrows.

I wish Michael had come when Peter wasn't here, I'm so embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, he's extremely rude," I say as he nods. He gives me a knowing look and I smile gratefully.

"Maddie, I know Ashton had...I know his score is much worse than mine. But what he said is true. Those last few months were completely genuine, I know they were. The things he said about you were so real," He says softly.

I just stare at the tv as a new episode of How I Met Your Mother starts. Michael turns towards it and grabs another cookie before laughing.

"Luke loves this show," He says randomly.

"Jordan loves this show. You know, the girl I brought with me to your concert?" I ask and he nods slowly. We watch an entire episode before Michael makes a noise. I turn to him and find confusion all over his face.

He rubs his forehead and shakes his head, "I try to talk to Ashton, but he's always so short with me. It's starting to affect the band, Maddie," He says in a quiet voice.

I shrug as if I don't care, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I don't want Ashton to change because of this. That's the last thing I want.

"Hey," Michael says softly. I glance at him with tear-filled eyes and he smiles sadly. I didn't even know I was starting to cry until he said something.

"Maddie, I just wish you could've seen the way you two were around each other. How you looked at each other as if you were the only two people in the room. The way Ashton would always touch you, like always touch you. And the way he talked about you to us was pitiful, but in a good way," He smiles with a laugh.

"What am I supposed to do?" My voice cracks a little.

"Maddie, I-" He closes his eyes and let's out a long breath. "I love Ashton and I know when he's happy. I want him-I want both of you to be happy. If you don't speak to him again, you'll be missing out."

"On what?"

He looks at me and smiles softly, "A great guy. He's made mistakes, but he is a damn great guy nonetheless."

I crawl forward and wrap my arms around him, nuzzling my face in his t-shirt. He pats my back and I raise an eyebrow, "How did you find out where I live?"

"Oh Maddie, the point is that I'm here. Let's not worry about details, okay?" he laughs.

"And you came all the way here for Ashton?"

"I love him, I want him to be happy. And you make him happy. I love you too, girlie. Like a little sister," He smiles extra big.

"I'll text him, that's all I can do. I can't-I can't hear his voice yet," I mumble quietly.

Michael's entire face transforms and it looks like he's about to scream with joy. I shake my head with a smile and stand up so I can find my phone. Michael somehow knows what I'm looking for and looks around on the couch.

He finds it and hands it to me as he nods excitedly.

"Thank you, Mikey. I never would've done this if you hadn't come," I tell him honestly and he nods with a smile.

Me: hey Ashton, it's Maddie

Ashton: whoever this is please stop, it's not funny

Me: no Ashton, it's really me
