Michael's POV

It had been over a week since i've seen May. Or Luke for that matter. I wonder where she is. She's probably been at Luke's this whole. The break up was probably fake, just like the last one.

I know I may seem to be over reacting about this whole thing but she's my sister. And he's my best friend. I'd always feel like the odd one out while we were all together. I know it may seem selfish but you'd have to be put in the situation in order to understand.

"You ready to go?" Cora asks from the other room.

We were going to Ashton's house for an end of the summer get together. Although I really didn't want to go and see May and Luke there. Probably all over each other. And I really didn't need to get in anymore fights.

"I still need to shower. You go ahead." I say.

"So i'll meet you there then?"

I nod. Cora waves a quick goodbye and walks out of her house. Cora and I haven't been speaking that much this past week. She took May's side in this whole thing. It seems like everyone is turning against me when Luke's the real issue. Why can't he just leave May alone?

I take a quick shower and change into my black skinny jeans and twenty one pilots t-shirt. I grab my phone and slide it in my back pocket before walking out the door, prepared for a night of hell.

-

I arrive at Ashton's and knock on the door.

"Sup man!" Ashton says as he answers the door.

"Hey." I say as I walk in and kick my shoes off.

"Where is everyone?"

"Backyard." He says as I follow him out.

I immediately spot Cora and go sit beside her.

"Hi." I say.

She gives me a small wave without even looking up.

"Why are you sitting here all alone?" I ask.

"Waiting for Brooke." She tells me.

"Not me?" I smirk, trying and failing miserably to flirt with my own girlfriend.

"Nope." She says bitterly.

"Where's May? And uh―Luke?" I ask.

She turns her head to look at me.

"Like you care." She rolls her eyes.

"I don't. I'm just wondering." I shrug.

"They're both not coming."

"What do you mean they're not coming? Luke never misses these end of the summer parties." I say, trying to sound the least bit interested.

I was confused as to why they weren't here. Not that i'm complaining because i'd probably enjoy the party more without them but, my mind went straight to them probably being together. Alone. I cringe at the thought.

"Luke hasn't come out of his house since you went over. And May hasn't spoken to anyone all week either." She says sadly.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"Because. I actually care about them both. I went over to see how Luke was doing a few days ago, seeing as he hasn't talked to any of us since the break up. He wouldn't even open the front door. I had to get the key from the backyard and go inside myself. When I went inside he was lying on his bed, he looked like he hadn't moved in days. When I asked him what happened with May, he explained everything. He told me what he said to you. He also said he was lying and he loves her. He said everything just to make you believe it. But then May believed it too." Cora explains.

"Wait so, they really did break up?" I ask shocked.

She gives me a confused and annoyed face.

"Well obviously. What other reason would they have to lock themselves away the way they are."

"She hasn't spoken to anyone either?" I ask.

Cora shakes her head. "No. She didn't return anyone's phone calls all week and when she finally called me back today, we spoke for like, thirty seconds. And she sounded different."

I furrow my eyebrows. "What do you mean different?"

"I don't know. Weaker, I guess. She's not her usual happy and loud self. She's the way she was when she first got here." Cora says.

"That's just how she is. She's reserved, I guess." I try to explain.

"No, she's back to the way she was before she met Luke."

"What are you talking about"? I ask Cora.

"Don't you see it, Michael? May isn't May without Luke. When she lived in Melbourne she was a mess, then she came here and met Luke. Didn't you notice the change in her while they were together? Michael, she glowed when she was with him."

"You don't know what you're talking about." I say shaking my head. "She's my sister, not yours."

Cora sighs. "I'm not saying she's my sister. I'm not saying I know her better than you do but, ask anyone. Luke makes May the happiest she's ever been. Hell, I've only known her for two months and I can tell. How can't you?" She asks.

But that's just it. I can tell. I realized how happy May is all of a sudden, but I didn't think it was because of Luke.

"I thought it was because she was spending time with me." I whisper.

Cora brings her hands over mine. "I'm sure it was that too. But Michael, you do realize that now it's you who's standing in the way of your sister's happiness. I get that it's your sister and your best friend, we all get that. But, you really need to just learn to accept it. Accept it now, or lose them both forever."

"They broke up because of me." I murmur.

If Luke and May really did break up, then where is she? She isn't at our Mother's house because I went by to check on my mum a few days ago, and May wasn't there.

"So where's May then?" I ask worriedly.

No matter how hurt I might be, she's my sister. I need to know where she is and if she's okay. Did she go back to Melbourne without telling anyone?

"She moved into an apartment." She says flatly.

"Wha―by herself?"

She nods. I'm completely and utterly shocked. And hurt. May and I made a deal to move into an apartment together. I get she might be angry with me right now but, how dare she make this decision. Does she not understand what she is doing? She's living on her own even before she graduates.

"Where?" I ask.

"Michael. Don't put me in this position." She sighs. "If she wanted you to know where she is then she would have told you."

"Just fucking tell me where she is!" I yell.

She winces at my loud tone. I know she hates when I yell but I can't help it. Especially in this situation.

"Pass me your phone." She says with her hand out.

"What? Why would yo―"

"Just pass me your phone."

I hesitantly take out my phone and put it in the palm of her hand. She unlocks it and goes into my notes. She is writing something down but I can't manage to see perfectly due to the low brightness. She locks it and hands it back to me.

"What did you do?" I ask.

"I put her address in. You should go see her. She's been alone all week. And school starts in a few days. Be there for her senior year." Cora says with a faint smile.

"Thanks." I weakly smile back before standing to get up.

I walk over to the building that May apparently lives at now. How could she do this? How could she just move out on her own? This was our plan. We were supposed to live together. It's always been us two against everything. And I think that's what I have finally come to realize. I've finally come to realize the reason I don't want her and Luke together.

Because when she's with Luke, it'll be her and Luke against everything.

I take the elevator up and knock on her door. She opens the door and her jaw drops.

"Michael?"
