  Friday afternoon 24 march 1982 ,  some street in England 

Michael afton pov:

I was walking through the streets in the neighborhood..The wind blew through my shoulder hair..It blew in my face..The sun shined through the clouds.. I felt like it something amazing was going to happen..The sun never shined this much in England..I smiled slightly.. I walked past a little flower field..I lived in the country side of England there weren't that many houses.. I liked the flower fields me and my friends like to hang out there..

I arrived at my house..Why is my house on a hill? It's hell to get here my legs are in pain..I looked at the house..It was a big house , somehow my dad can afford at three story building..The garden was well kept..The only reason for that is that Elizabeth loves flowers..Ofc father would make her happy and take care of the flowers..Even though I have to give the many plants in our home water..

I grabbed my keys and opened the door..I went inside and threw my bag on the kitchen floor..I looked at my keys..I had a foxy keychain , father gave it to me many years ago..When he still gave me love..I mean he's not the worst..But I would like some attention to..Positive attention, I get enough negative attention..

I checked if dad was home..He wasn't..I grabbed a little key from underneath one of the plant pots..This was the key to the liquor cabinet ..father was stupid enough to think I wouldn't find it..But unlike him I'm not an idiot..I grabbed a vodka bottle and locked the cabinet again..I put the key away and went to my father's room..I grabbed a pack of cigarettes from his nightstand and went towards my room..I locked the door behind me..Cause my dad never thought of checking which keys I have with me..I even have the key of his room..I could lock him inside if I wanted to..But I know if I do that I'm in big trouble..

I put my note books away and sat at my desk..I grabbed a pen and a note book with red paper..It was my diary..I thought about today as I started writing..

24 march 1982

Dear diary, today was a special day..It was different then usual..I had fun today.. yes you hear that right , me Michael Afton had fun at school..Surprising right Normally my sentence starts with ' today I had the worst day of my life' I guess that things really can change ..So what happened you might ask.. Well me and my friends pranked Mrs Stones ..It was hilarious ..You should've seen her face..I enjoyed it..I feel safe around my friends..I don't say it to them but I love em..Without them my life would've been so different..We promised each other to actually meet up this weekend..Instead of saying it but not doing it..

I looked outside the window..The sun shined on my desk..I smiled it was quite a beautiful sight..I jumped slightly as a sound filled my room.. I looked at the phone on my desk.. I picked up the red phone from the stand and put it against my ear.. " Michael Afton speaking , how can I help you?" I said.. I heard a gentle laugh on the other end of the phone.. Why did it sound so cute? Who was this?.. " I didn't know you could be so polite mike" the other person said as he laughed again.. " Mark?! " Why tf did I even think that..He isn't cute..He's my best friend.. " Why so surprised? Am I calling at a bad time?" he said..I could imagine the smile on his face right now..He looks absolutely beautiful when he smiles..He doesn't do it often..Only when we're alone.. " no , I just didn't expect you calling me today.. You never call me..I mean not at this hour.. You seem to be in a good mood.." I said with a smile on my face.. he laughed again.. Why tf is his laugh so adorable??I felt my cheeks heat up..Why did my face feel so hot all of the sudden.. " Says mister grumpy man..I should be surprised you sound happy.." I rolled my eyes but was smiling.. " haha really funny..Why did you call me?" he didn't answer for a moment.. " I was bored and am I not allowed to call my boss?" I gagged and laughed " please for the love of god don't call me that..

We talked for a few hours , making jokes and laughing..It felt like the best moment of my life..When he ended the call I felt so weird..I already missed his voice and for some reason I was so happy.. My face felt so hot.. Why did it get so heated?..And only my face..I realized this sounded wrong..I mean wrong to me..Please don't tell me I'm blushing..I walked up to the mirror next to my closet.. My face was so red..I looked at myself..I looked like a mess..But not in a bad way.. A mess that involves love..I sat down on my bed..I started thinking about the call..And the way he acted today..I started thinking about PE class..Or to be more detailed about  the locker room..I didn't mean to look at him..It was on accident..But now it suddenly crossed my mind again and for some reason I can't stop thinking about it..Don't get me wrong..He wasn't naked or anything..But he didn't have a shirt on.. He isn't ripped or anything..But he looks good..I covered my face.. I couldn't get him out of my head.. I lay in my bed..After a few hours thinking about it..I knew it..



I'm in love with my best friend..
