What If It's the Answer? #GIVEMEABREAKCONTEST

Y/N is dating Luke Hemmings. Michael's best friend.
And Michael's been good, so good, at pretending it doesn't bother him.

But when Luke vanishes into the chaos of his own party, and Michael finds Y/N alone on the balcony, something shifts. The kind of shift you don't come back from.

"Tell me to go inside," Michael says.
"No," Y/N replies.

They both know it's a mistake.
And they both let it happen anyway.
