          " do you love her ? " more than anything, she's afraid of the answer that's going to leave their lips but for her own sanity, she has to know ... " please ... just tell me ... " she takes a deep, shaky breath before repeating her words. " — do you love her ? " —  ♡૮꒰•༝  •。꒱ა @fatedtragedy

          *ੈ  ♡ ‧₊˚     part  of  her  wishes  that  she  could  just  forget  about  him  &  move  on  with  her  life,  but  things  were  easier  said  than  done.  &  the  two  of  them  were  proof  enough  of  that  statement  —  countless  times  has  ivy  told  herself  that  she  was  over  all  of  the  dramatics  of  their  tumultous  relationship,  but  it  was  almost  as  if  there  was  some  sort  of  invisible  force  tying  the  two  of  them  together  for  good.  &  ivy  wasn't  sure  if  that  was  romantic  or  not  —  she  listens  to  his  voice  speak  words  she  has  probably  heard  hundreds  of  times,  &  just  like  all  of  those  times  before  . . .  she  gives  in.  a  sigh  falls  from  her  lips  &  she  averts  her  eyes  to  michael.  "  okay  . . .  okay,  fine.  one  more  chance,  mike.  "  a  complete  &  utter  L I E,  but  the  femme  closes  the distance  between  them  &  presses  her  forehead  against  his  chest.  "  —  you  better  not  make  me  regret  it.  "

okay, he can admit that using the word 'crazy' wasn't the best thing he could've said to her right now. but, michael couldn't really control his mouth sometimes. especially when he was as frustrated as he is at the moment. " i didn't mean that, ivy. i just . . . jesus fuck, i don't know what more you want me to say. " he's apologized over and over again, and yet, they always found themselves here. arguing about the same damn thing. he clears his throat, attempting to calm himself in the slightest. " ivy, i'm standing here and telling you that i don't want her. i want to be with you. i just need another chance. please. "

          *ੈ  ♡ ‧₊˚     "  —  why  are  we  out  in  the  middle  of  nowhere  at  two  in  the  fucking  morning, dude  ? if  we  have  a  body  to  bury,  can  we  hurry  up  with  that  ?  because  i'd  like  to  get  to  bed.  " —  ♡ @cinnamcroll

high regard ╱ the story so far

          *ੈ  ♡ ‧₊˚     "  fuck  an  apology  —  i'm  not  sorry  for  anything  !  i've  been  holding  back  my  a p a t h y  for  far  too long  . . .  " ╱ @silencedmoths

          *ੈ  ♡ ‧₊˚     was  she  asking  too  much  of  him  ?  ivy  is  racking  her  brain  trying  trying  to  figure  that  out,  but  she  knew  the  type  of  person  michael  was  when  she  got  involved  with  him  —  brows  furrow  deeper  at  his  next  choice  of  words,  an  incredulous  expression  painting  across  her  features.  "  crazy  ?  how  dare  you  ?  i  . . .  i  can't  believe  how  much  of  an  asshole  you're  being  right  now,  mike  . . .  "  dark  hues  are  pressed  together,  but  ivy  is  able  to  hold  back  her  tears  (  for  now  )  —  she  shakes  her  head.  "  i  don't  know  anymore,  okay  ?  sometimes  it  seems  like  you  don't  want  to  be  with  me,  &  you  aren't  doing  a  very  good  job  at  convincing  me  otherwise  . . .  "

         michael's never been that good at reassuring people. never been that good at expressing his own emotions, much less anyone's else. but, he was trying for ivy's sake. yeah, he made a mistake. one that he truly didn't realize he was making in the moment, but one he was desperate to fix. brows furrow at she speaks, unable to help the bitter scoff that leaves him. "you sound crazy, ivy. shiny new thing? do you even hear yourself right now?" words are bitter, mike knows that. but, he's never been one for sugarcoating his thoughts. "would i be here trying to fix things if i wanted to be with her?" @honeybabyz.

          arms cross over her chest in a defensive manner, dark brown hues refusing to look in his direction; instead, her gaze shifts to the floor as he speaks. a huff leaves ivy's lips and black bangs fall to her face as she shakes her head. " that's not what it seems like. you ... " a deep breath is taken and finally, she allows herself to avert her eyes towards michael. " you don't look at me the way you looked at her — not anymore ... " by now, venom drips from her tongue, unable to mask the jealousy in her tone of voice. " it's like she's the shiny new thing you can't keep your eyes off of .. " —  ♡૮꒰•༝  •。꒱ა @fatedtragedy

it wouldn't be the first time michael made a mistake like this with someone he genuinely cared about. maybe it's because he thought he didn't think he deserved someone like her. why would he? it's not like he was anything close to a good person. hand resting on his cheek, he scoffs underneath his breath and shakes his head. "no, of course not." at least, he didn't think he did. "i barely know her."
