Michelle wanted to crawl in a hole and disappear , but she felt so stupid even feeling that. She was just a dust speck in the crumble of her friends around her. Thankfully the post spared her from saying which lost boy she was crushing on, and aired out everyone else’s problems and for that, she had to keep it under lock and key. It wouldn’t matter, and it didn’t matter. There were bigger problems at hand and she had to keep to that. So for a few days she kept to herself. Let out more tears in her pillow case than she’d like to admit, but who would she cry too? Everyone had something tearing them apart. Michelle agreed, like her heart was shattered, to go for a walk with Nolan and Koda. Keeping up with their little co-parent thing. Sitting on the bench she chewed on her cheek as she waited for them. Staring at the ground, and losing herself in a pep talk to face him. To be around him, to see him and know everything was all just in her head. It wasn’t till small paws were jumping at her legs that she snapped out of it and pulled herself together. “Koda!” Picking up the puppy she cuddled him close and kissed the top of his head. Soaking in the comfort and love from the little guy. Thankfully they had a puppy to keep their attention, and not have to be around each other without a distraction. Though when she looked up to greet him, her mind went blank. Finding his eyes that once felt like home, and two arms that would catch her.. turned into a great unknown. Feeling her eyes pool with tears she ripped the gaze away to Koda, and the words feel out before she could stop them. “Is it true?” She said softly. || @flyhighnol​Â
