I gently knocked on the door. Its been two weeks since Michael has been in the hospital. He just got out yesterday & now I'm just seeing him. The door opened to reveal prince.
"Hey, Ariana."

"Hey, is he awake?"
"Yeah, he's chilling on the couch. You can come in" he moved out of the way so I can enter. The inside looks very beautiful. He has amazing taste in decorations. I looked towards the couch to see Michael watching TV. He bruises went away but he has a cast on his arm & leg.
"Hey, Michael."
He looked up from the television "hey."

"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine just in a little pain" he said smiling.
I sat down beside him "you look banged up."
"Thanks, that makes me feel better" he rolled his eyes giggling.
I laughed "at least your up walking around then in a wheelchair."
"Actually I rather be in a wheelchair then be walking on these crutches. I feel like a old man."
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad."
"Shit" he sighed "anything new in that hell hole called school?"
"Well, people find out about your little accident."
He frowned "let me guess, brandy?"
I shook my head yes. He huffed in frustration "that woman there, I swear" he said.
"Yeah, she's going around telling people how she saved you from the explosion & that she stayed at the hospital the whole time you was there."
He burst out laughing "are you fucking serious?"
"I couldn't believe it myself, trust me."
"That girl doesn't know when to stop, does she?"
"You know Michael, she said some pretty interesting things at the hospital."
"Please don't listen to it. She knows how to twist words around" he added "and all that "history together" stuff might be true. But I rather have history with you instead. If i can go back in time & erase her out of my life & put you in it. I'll probably be a better man today."
My cheeks burned in excitement. One thing about Michael is that he has a way with words rather its erotic or nasty "you really mean it?"
"Yes, from the bottom of my heart" then he gave me a serious look "I need to ask you something."
"Sure, anything."
"Will you come to Brooklyn with me after this war is over?"
I frowned "what do you mean?"
"I want you to come to Brooklyn with me. We can start a whole new life there & maybe have future together."
"I-i don't know Michael" damn, he's asking me to runaway with him to another town. That means I have to leave my family behind. If I agreed to come with him, people we'll get suspicious. I do wanna be with him forever but running away from a war seems dangerous. He's moving a little to fast. I'm not ready for that.
"Please, at least think about it Holli. I need you in my life."
I sighed "okay, i'll think about it."
He smiled with joy "I promise you, our new life in Brooklyn will be amazing."
