amnesia ~ M.C

"Michael! Please help me!" Chelsea wined as I balanced my pencil on the upper lip. The other day I said that I would help Chelsea with her algebra homework. I didn't think she would take it seriously. My pencil dropped and I caught it before it hit the floor.

"Lighten up, Chels. I'm bored." I say, popping up from the couch and walking over to the kitchen. Chelsea groaned from the other room, making me chuckle.

"I am going to fail this test and my mom won't let me go on tour with you guys!" I hear her mumble. Quickly, I darted next to her and picked up my pencil. The boys, Chelsea, and I have begged Mrs. Reich to allow her to come on tour with us for about a month now. I'm surprised she's actually taking up the thought.

"Fine. 'Kay. Uh..." I started, staring at the variety of numbers and letters. My mind went fuzzy as I stared at her homework. She looked at me so I came up with something.

"Doesn't x equal 10 over 4?" I guessed. She stared at her paper for a little bit. As she scribbled down my guess, I relaxed a bit. She looked at me with a smile.

"Yeah. It does. For a guy who dropped out, you're not as stupid as I thought." She said with a grin. I shoved her to the side a little bit. I continued my guesses, getting literally 4 out of 10 right. Oh, well.

"Thanks for barely helping me, Mikey. I think I'll get Luke to help me next time." Chelsea said. I rolled my eyes and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'm tired now. Can we cuddle?" Chelsea and I may now be dating but I have always had these feelings for her that I couldn't explain. I wasn't sure if they were brotherly, friendly, or romantic feelings but I knew I felt them. She nodded and crawled into my lap.

"You're going to ace this test then you are going to come on tour with the boys and me. We are going to have so much fun. Pranking, teasing, cuddling." I tell her, squeezing her tight. She giggled and shifted a little bit. I watch as here eyes flutter shut. The way her face goes just a little but paler when she sleeps was the most cutest thing ever. Yup. They're romantic feelings. I think I'm in love with Chelsea.

"Sleep well, Bambino." I whispered in her ear. Chelsea smiled at my little nickname for her. Bambino means baby in Italian. Since she's part Italian, I decided to call her something in Italian here and there. I watch as she fell into sleep. She was gorgeous. Every little feature of her. I'm sure of it. I'm in love with my best friend.

——————————————

"Wake up, Chelsea. It's nearly 8 at night." I whispered in her ears. Chelsea groaned and sunk into my lap. I chucked and picked her up bridal style, walking her over to the kitchen.

"What do you want for dinner, my dolci?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Your sweets? Since when am I sweet?" I bursted out laughing as I sit her on the counter.

"Chicken nuggets sound okay?"

"I'll make them! Last time you tried cooking, we had to evacuate the house." She said, hopping off the counter. I nodded and we switched spots. Chelsea was always sweet but covered it up with sassiness.

"Cara?" I call her darling

"yeah?"

"Want to go see a movie Friday? I'm not busy then." Chelsea sighed slightly and shook her head.

"I can't. Not Friday at least. I have something to do."

"I'll wait, then." I said, determined to take her to the movie. As friends, sadly. She smiled and stood between my legs, hugging my waist.

"You are the most incredible best friend anyone could ever ask for." She mumbled against my stomach because of her height. I smiled and pecked the top of her head.

"I know." She scoffed and released me. I laughed and grabbed her hands in mine. They were so small compared to mine.

"Angelo, cara, dolci, bella, bambino." I named off all the words I've spent so long memorizing. Angel, darling, sweets, beautiful, and baby. I studied more but those were at the top of my head.

"Bambino. I like that one." She said with her innocent smile.

"Okay then. Bambino it is." I say a little quietly. I slowly pulled her in closer. I longed for Chelsea's lips on mine. She stopped herself quickly.

"Chicken nuggets aren't gonna make themselves! Do you mind if you get me my phone off the couch?" She said cheery. A little part of me broke. I thought that was the moment. I jump off the counter and go for her phone. The lock screen was already on.

Kaleb:
Are we still up for Friday? :) xx

My blood boiled at the sight of that bastard's name. He broke her heart and she's still talking to him?! Doesn't she know that he is bad news? Kaleb should know I can hit him anytime I want. Principle Watson can't suspend me now.

"Chelsea! Get in here!" I shouted. Was I pissed? Of course. Was I going to make a mistake that could ruin our friendship? Probably. Chelsea came skipping into the room with her cute smile.

"Thanks, Michael." she said, going for her phone. I snatched it out of her reach. Chelsea raised an eyebrow at me.

"What?" I turned her phone on and showed her the message. Chelsea's eyes widened.

"Why the hell are you still talking to that dip shit?!" I shouted. I haven't raised my voice at Chelsea in years. We were always calm towards one another. This, though. This pissed me off.

"Calm dow-"

"No! I will not calm down! Do you not remember what he did to you in middle school?! Do you not remember what I did for you to get back at him?! I was suspended for 2 weeks!" I boomed. Chelsea flinched back at my loud voice. Usually I would apologize. I just can't shake this off that easily.

"I didn't ask you to do that." Chelsea mumble so she was barely audible. That made me even more angry.

"Exactly! That's what friends are for! I beat his ass so he would leave you alone but after all those fucking years you are still talking to him!" She inhaled and exhaled loudly.

"Stop yelling at me, Michael! I didn't do anything!" She yelled at me, snatching her phone away from me. She was right. She didn't really do anything. I shouldn't be the one to tell her who to talk to or who not to. But Kaleb was someone who I hated.

"You're talking to the bastard for heaven's sakes? He's gonna break your heart and I don't know what I would do then?!" I yelled back, knowing I am hurting her on the inside. I just can't stop.

"Kaleb has changed! You don't know him now!" I couldn't handle it anymore. I shoved her a little, causing her to fall down. I watched as tears build in her eyes. My heart sank to my stomach. Chelsea jumped up and started running for the door. I grabbed her wrist before she ran past me.

"Bambino..."

"Don't ever touch me again!" She scream, yanking away from my grasp and running out the door. I went running after her. It was dark and I could barely see anything. I watch as headlights head Chelsea's way.

"CHELSEA! STOP!" She stopping in the middle of the rode, looking back at me. I ran as fast as I could to get to her. When the truck got closer, she turned to look at it. Her eyes widened and she tried moving but she was glued to the ground because of fright. My heart beat out of my chest. My pace began to pick up.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY! NO!" I yelled.

I was too late
