Michael Afton x Reader ~ 'Til the Day I Die

The Rest of the Family

{Michael's POV} 

I woke up and saw [Y/N] frantically shaking. She looked like she was holding bandages or something. I remember that while I was unconscious, I kept hearing someone mentioning the name 'Ennard'. 

I think that she saw my eyes barley open, because I heard her say, "Oh my gosh, Michael, thank God you're alive!" She pulled me into a hug, even though I'm pretty  sure that I'm still bleeding. "I was finally able to stop the bleeding and put some bandages on the wound, but I think that you may be stuck with the endoskeleton....-" she explained. Well, this is gonna be fun. 

{[Y/N]'s POV}

God, I'm so glad that he's still alive. I have no idea what I'd do without him. "We need to get you home," I said. "You don't look like you're doing too well." He nodded in agreement. 

"I think that it's already 6, look," he said, turning towards the clock. Sure enough, the hour hand was turned towards 6. I got up and helped him up. He got up and surprisingly said, "I think that I'm ok..." 

"Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded. "Well, I'm still gonna at least drive you home, just in case." It was a good thing that he agreed, because I would've been extremely worried all day, even though we have each other's numbers. 

-------------------------------------------------

I drove him home and instead of just leaving, I decided to stay with him for a little while, just to make sure that he's actually ok.  As I was about to leave though, I got a text from the owner of the apartment buildings. 'You have 3 hours to pack up and get out', it read. I was about to text back and ask what happened and why I needed to leave, when I got another text that said, 'You've stayed here before and never paid your bills, therefore, you need to leave.' I never remembered a time like that, until I remembered back when I would visit this place a lot. I would stay at the apartment building with My "friend". She  had put the bills under my name after a little while and I didn't even know until I got a bunch of emails regarding the bills. 

I obviously had a frustrated look on my face, because Michael had asked, "Hey, what happened?" I sighed. 

"The owner of the apartment buildings that I'm staying at is kicking me out," I said. "I have a few Marriott points, but other than that, I don't have anywhere to stay." 

Without hesitation, Michael stated, "You can stay here." I looked up with a confused look. 

"Really?" I asked. 

"Well, yeah," he said. "If you need any help, I'm always here for you." I smiled slightly. 

"Thank you so much," I responded. "You have no  idea how much that means to me."

"It's my pleasure," he replied. "Anything to help out a friend." 

------------------------------------------------

I had to go back to the apartment to pack up my stuff and  came back to Michael's. He had some room set up for me, which I thought was so sweet of him. After I had unpacked, I went downstairs. Michael was resting his head in his hands. "Are you ok?" I asked quietly. He flinched and looked up. 

"Oh, yeah," he said. "I just found an old family picture..." He motioned towards a picture frame on the counter. I walked over and peered at it. It looked like Michael was about 13 when this picture was taken. They were all standing next to each other, looking genuinely happy. Elizabeth looked like she was in the middle of saying something right when they had snapped the shot and their mother was holding Chris. Michael was kinda off to the side of the frame, he still looked pretty happy though. Their father was standing in the middle, smiling. I smiled when I saw this. "You guys look so happy," I said. He nodded. 

"Yeah... I miss the good old days-," he said in response. I then saw another picture next to that. William was standing behind all of them with a smile on his face, while Chris was in the middle of the bunch. He actually looked somewhat happy this time around. Michael looked to be about 15 in this photo, which was about the age that he stopped showing up to school. He didn't look very happy, but more annoyed. Elizabeth was hugging them all on the side.  But, their mother wasn't there. I was going to ask about that, but I figured that he didn't want to talk about it all that much today. 

"Well, I'm gonna make some dinner," Michael said. "Tonight's the night that I normally have [F/F]." 

"No way, that's my favorite dish!" I said happily. 

"Oh my gosh, mine too," Michael said back with a small chuckle . "Great minds really do think alike. 

-------------------------------------------

I helped Michael out with dinner and we talked for quite a bit. After we'd finished eating, we pretty much just sat down and talked some more for a little while. We ended up sitting down and watching the movie [Fav/ movie]. 

About halfway through the movie, I had leaned on Michael and slowly fell asleep. 

{Michael's POV} 

I looked over at [Y/N], who was leaned up against me. She was sound asleep. I smiled slightly at this. She's so beautiful. I love her. Earlier when she'd explained to me how the owner of the apartment buildings had kicked her out, I panicked and said "Anything to help out a friend" instead of "Anything for my love", like I was originally gonna say. I'm just not sure if she feels the same way just yet. 

After the movie had ended, I grabbed a blanket that was on the back of the couch and put it over us two. I wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head. I'm just so happy to be with her.

A/N; Hey y'all! Sorry for the short chapter. I just got finished with P.E., so I'm just finishing up writing this chapter before I have to go to my next and last class of the day. Happy Wednesday, if you're reading this on the day that it came out! And woohoo! You made it halfway through the week!
