Heart Stops

I woke up to the loud ringing of my alarm on my phone. I reached for it and pressed the 'dismiss' button. I was going to go back to bed ubtil i remembered I had to go out with Michael, so I got up, went straight to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, wash my face and all that morning routine stuff.

I went down to the kitchen and had some waffles for breakfast. Then my phone vibrates. It's a message from Michael.

Hey good morning!:)

Hi! Good morning to you too:) So today... we go to the park?

Yeah! Meet ya there at around 2:30?

Sure! See ya!

We had to meet at the park at 2:30 and I looked at the time and was already 12:15. Wow.. i woke up pretty late today. So anyways I went back upstairs used my phone. (And by that I mean play games cuz i dont got a social life)

When time somehow passes by really quickly it was already 1:55. "Well, time to get ready." I said to myself. So I went to my closet and got my We the Kings lion tank top from their merch and paired it with black tights. (I never wear skirts, dresses or shorts. If you ask me to wear those kind of clothing, you're dead.) I did my simple makeup and tied my hair into a messy bun. Then I randomly put some bracelets on my left wrist and put on a long achor necklace. By that time it was already 2:10.

So I rushed down to the door put on some combat boots, grabbed my wallet and my phone, kissed my mom goodbye and I'm out the door. I messaged Michael informing him that I'm coming in a few minutes just so he knows and he replies with a simple O and K.

When I reached the park, Michael was already there sitting on the same bench we sat on yesterday. "Hey! Sorry I'm late." I said in one breath. "Oh no its ok. You look great today!" He said looking at me. I blushed, like always. "Um... thanks." I said.

"So this friend of yours left you alone just like that?" Michael asked as we were walking down this random street. "Best friend," I corrected him. "And yes, just like that." "Would you tell me his name?" I could tell that Michael really cared but I hesitated. "I'd rather not say his name." I replied. "Wow. If I were you, I would punch him in the face if I saw him again. I mean if you want, I'd do that for you." Michael smirked and I giggled a bit as I elbowed him and rolled my eyes. We kept on walking. For a second I got shocked at the action Michael just did. He laced our hands together with a tight but not so tight grip. I could barely breath that time. I mean, this is my first time in six years to hold a boy's hand. It felt overwhelming and uncomfortable at the same time.

At the the end of the day, Michael walked me home. We awkwardly stood in front of my door and stared straight to each other's eyes. We were like staring into each other's souls. "So um.. it has been a great day. I had fun." He told me. "Me too," I started. "Thank you for everything. And I mean everything. You literally help me get over my depression at least a bit. You also make me gain trust for people. Just a teeny bit though. But still it's big help for me. We've only known each other for two days I think you already make me feel very happy." I didn't even know that a tear started rolling down my face. Michael stepped closer. I wanted to step away but before I did, his hand held my cheek and he used his thumb to wipe my tear away. "Your welcome," he whispered and smiled warmly. His face then slowly went towards mine and he kissed my cheek. I felt the chills go down my body. He steps back and says goodnight. I went back inside as I watch him walk down the street from my window.

That night I kept thinking of him. I couldn't sleep. So I took my phone, went to messages and without thinking, I messaged Michael. I thought He wouldn't reply because it was very late at night. But a second or two later he replied back.

Hey watcha doing late up at night? Don't you have school tmr?

Yeah I do but I always sleep this late.. did I disturb you from your slumber?

Oh no! I haven't slept too.

My turn to ask. Why are you still up? Playing video games?

Noooo...

Ok yes

...(Audri)

We then just kept texting non-stop until I realized it was already two in the morning so I told him to sleep because that's what I was going to do. I told him goodbye and goodnight then went to sleep.

The next morning I could rarely open my eyes. Instead I sleep walked to the toilet and washed my face, brushed my teeth and blah blah blah. I went downstairs to see my mom cooking breakfast. "Whats cooking?" I asked. My mom replied with a big gigantic humongous smile. "Love!" As she put her fingers together, placed them on her lips and kissed them as they open up. So like what an Italian chef would do or at least I think they do. "What? Mom it's just bacon not love," I smirked. "Oh you know what im talking about baby," she replied back in a suggestive way.
