chapter 38✿

Michael's POV

It had been over a week since i've seen May. Or Luke for that matter. I wonder where she is. She's probably been at Luke's this whole. The break up was probably fake, just like the last one.

I know I may seem to be over reacting about this whole thing but she's my sister. And he's my best friend. I'd always feel like the odd one out while we were all together. I know it may seem selfish but you'd have to be put in the situation in order to understand.

"You ready to go?" Cora asks from the other room.

We were going to Ashton's house for an end of the summer get together. Although I really didn't want to go and see May and Luke there. Probably all over each other. And I really didn't need to get in anymore fights.

"I still need to shower. You go ahead." I say.

"So i'll meet you there then?"

I nod. Cora waves a quick goodbye and walks out of her house. Cora and I haven't been speaking that much this past week. She took May's side in this whole thing. It seems like everyone is turning against me when Luke's the real issue. Why can't he just leave May alone?

I take a quick shower and change into my black skinny jeans and twenty one pilots t-shirt. I grab my phone and slide it in my back pocket before walking out the door, prepared for a night of hell.

-

I arrive at Ashton's and knock on the door.

"Sup man!" Ashton says as he answers the door.

"Hey." I say as I walk in and kick my shoes off.

"Where is everyone?"

"Backyard." He says as I follow him out.

I immediately spot Cora and go sit beside her.

"Hi." I say.

She gives me a small wave without even looking up.

"Why are you sitting here all alone?" I ask.

"Waiting for Brooke." She tells me.

"Not me?" I smirk, trying and failing miserably to flirt with my own girlfriend.

"Nope." She says bitterly.

"Where's May? And uh―Luke?" I ask.

She turns her head to look at me.

"Like you care." She rolls her eyes.

"I don't. I'm just wondering." I shrug.

"They're both not coming."

"What do you mean they're not coming? Luke never misses these end of the summer parties." I say, trying to sound the least bit interested.

I was confused as to why they weren't here. Not that i'm complaining because i'd probably enjoy the party more without them but, my mind went straight to them probably being together. Alone. I cringe at the thought.

"Luke hasn't come out of his house since you went over. And May hasn't spoken to anyone all week either." She says sadly.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"Because. I actually care about them both. I went over to see how Luke was doing a few days ago, seeing as he hasn't talked to any of us since the break up. He wouldn't even open the front door. I had to get the key from the backyard and go inside myself. When I went inside he was lying on his bed, he looked like he hadn't moved in days. When I asked him what happened with May, he explained everything. He told me what he said to you. He also said he was lying and he loves her. He said everything just to make you believe it. But then May believed it too." Cora explains.
