Long way home | muke

Chapter four

Michael.

I let the boy, who's name was Luke, live with me. He was probably going to end up living somewhere like this either way, but I figured it would be easier to have someone with you. I'm glad I have Luke now, because I've been alone for so long, it's nice to have someone to talk to.

Luke is really nice, he's been so understanding and he's not judgmental. We've also discovered that we have a lot in common, I can tell we'll get along well.

We both like the same bands but I haven't listened to them in ages because I'm homeless and I have no money.

I open my eyes, glaring at the small amount of sunlight that managed to find its way to this dark alley which I call my home. I fell something - or someone - kick me and turn around, surprised, I see Luke, then I remember last nights events, and I smile, because I finally have a friend. Luke looked so calm and peaceful, his blond hair was all over the place and there was drool on his face and he looked like a flock of birds just took a shit on him. But he looked happy in his sleep and it made me smile. After going through what he did yesterday you'd expect him to be in tears.

I could tell it was around 8 am, why did I wake up this early. I wouldn't usually, I like my sleep, it's like I'm temporarily forgetting everything. Like a second life where nothing can go wrong, and even if I do get a nightmare, it's temporary and it won't do any actual harm. I love sleep.

Now I'm awake and I'm not that happy, because every bad memory is back and the cold ground beneath me is uncomfortable and wet and I really wish I didn't end up here. I really wish my life could've been different, I wish I could be a normal person. I wish I could wake up in a comfortable bed in my room, eat nice food, have a caring family, but I've lost that all.

And suddenly I really wish that I hadn't woken up this morning, or any other morning after.
