Chapter 12 : The tracks of my tears

Michaels POV

"Tatum!?" I said shocked at her very upfront action

"Hi Michael" she said in a breathy voice as she pulled a chair a little too close to me

"Uh, gee Tatum I haven't seen you in awhile"

"I know...I've missed you Michael" she pouted as if we had this real deep relationship (even though we did I didn't wanna admit it to her)

she seemed to be inching closer to me, she wouldn't break eye contact with me making me look down and push back from her causing her to come in real close to me...a little too close
"Come on Michael give me another chance, I'll be good to you I promise" she whispers this time in my ear

"Give it up Tatum please" I edged pushing away from her once again

"Mikey you know you wanna get back together with me, you just don't know it yet" She then got up from her seat next to mine and came down one last time to give me a goodbye kiss on the lips.

I was stunned. Completely frozen in my seat I then realized Mia would be getting out from her dressing rooms anytime now

I then looked up frantically around to see if anyone saw the interaction I just had with Tatum
my eyes then found her and I stopped moving completely again, a feeling of extreme guilt began to well inside me

'god I should of stopped her more'

My Mia was just staring at me. Her eyes filled with so much hurt and anger she was in the middle of doing something but I knew she just stopped whatever it was to just watch...watch me kiss another girl

"Baby wait" I said getting up rushing towards her but before I could she was already running back to her dressing room slamming it behind her
When I finally go to the door I knocked at first a little quietly pleading for her to let me enter and explain

"Mia, girl please I did-"

before I could finish my statement the door opened a surprisingly calm Mia looked at me

"Baby" she said in a way mocking me while
smoothing out my shirt in a somewhat forceful way

"a car is outside ready to take you home, I'm focusing on this movie and not your stupid actions right now. Michael Joe Jackson If you try in anyway of pleading I'll just have security escort you out"

she said every word so cold, so hollow with no emotion what so ever
And then just like that she slammed the door in my face, leaving me shocked,hurt, and confused.

Mia's POV

Hot tears streamed down my flushed face after slamming the door on him, I was so mad my cheeks turned pink. I was so hurt it ached in my stomach, I hated him I hated her. She's a bitch, she's the biggest slut I've ever met. My raging thoughts were then interrupted by Dale barging through the door

Tears still falling I rushed over to him and sobbed

"He said he loved me" I wailed into Dale's chest

he stroked my hair and repeatedly said "I know" trying to reassure and comfort me

"I came as fast as I could after I saw Michael walking out visibly upset"

I looked up at him

"Was he really upset?" I manage to make out through my tears

he looked down at me with caring eyes "yes he was"

I cried harder

"I don't wanna hurt him Dale...I love him" I sobbed
"I love him" I kept repeating

Dale crouched a little to meet my eye level

"Doll look at me" he said positioning my face
"I know you love him, and bet my life that he loves you too but, you're not gonna let him get in your way of making this movie...you're gonna show him what a big mistake he has made do you get me?"

I sniffled
wiping my remaining tears that were still on my rosy cheeks

"Do you got me?" He asked again

"I got you boss" I answered giving him a small smile

He got up from his crouch
"Alright now I'm calling makeup in here again, and you cannot ruin it this time!" he said in a joking manner

"I won't, I promise" I laughed slightly

On his way out he gave me a thumbs up
and I returned it.

***

After getting my makeup done again I acted my ass off, I looked good while doing it. I didn't mess up my lines we got things done within one take, the director complimented me multiple times, I almost forgot about my altercation with Michael during shoots,but it all hint me like a ton of bricks once the director called it a day, and me an Dale had to walk to the car waiting to take me home.

I put my sunglasses on to hide my eyes that were starting to burn with tears again
I stepped into the car with the maroon leather inside and tried to forget about what happen. Just push it all down and forget about it.

But it's Hard to forget them something that hurts so bad.
