It'll Be Our Little Secret || Michael Afton x Female Reader

*Chapter 13*

"I found out what happened to Elizabeth..." he said, remaining serious. My heart began pounding faster than one second ago and i looked at Mike with an expression that looked serious but also scared at the same time. I got too nervous, i started playing with my fingers and i tried not to stutter while talking... Mostly because i was playing with my fingers and i couldn't concentrate on my words.
"And... What did you find?"
"Well, i decided it'd be a good idea to go to the pizzeria alone, all by myself and i actually found really useful stuff" he said and paused real quick. I didn't say anything but i just looked at him, waiting for him to finish. "So, here we are..."
He began explaining really quickly.
"I inspected the ribbon and found out that it's not the same colour as it used to be. I assumed it was blood and i happened to be correct. I washed off the ribbon and when i did, the blood was in the sink and the ribbon was it's old colour" he said and continued after that "So, i came to the conclusion of.. Y'know... I made it to the pizzeria and looked at the security cameras"
He sighed.
"She's dead" he continued directly.
"Too many people have died, that i don't feel anything at all anymore" i sighed and said quietly.
"Are you sure?" he asked, worriedly.
"Let's say i'm used to this.." i replied.

He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the cheek for comfort. I returned the hug and we kept on hugging for a long, long time.
Since we got bored, we decided to reverse "The immortal and The restless" because we skipped it. We used to love to watch it together and discuss the plow and the characters. We have never skipped an episode and even if we did we reversed it.

We kept hugging while watching. I was sat next to Michael with my head on his shoulder and his arm around me. We were getting pretty close to each other as a couple and i absolutely loved it. I actually never had such a good relationship like this so far. I used to date a boy named Chris but things didn't work out. At first, it went good but then after a month or two, he started acting like an asshole and i realized he was toxic. At this point, we already had a pretty toxic relationship. He used to see other girls, give me less attention and when i asked him to go somewhere, he refused. Eventually, i found he was cheating with my ex-best friend. But i'm over all that now. Chris and my ex-bestfriend moved to another school when we were in 9th grade and i haven't thought of them ever since. Not that i miss them. Not at all. I never cried for those shitheads and never would. Now that i have Mikey, i have nothing to worry about them.

It was getting dark so i had to go back home. I got up from Michael's couch and walked to the front door. I put on my shoes and my sweatshirt and looked around to see if i've forgotten anything. I grabbed my bag and hugged Mikey as a goodbye. We kissed and i stepped outside, already feeling the cold breeze of the almost- summer night. The sky was all dark blue with shades of black and the stars were clearly visible, glistening against the sky. They were just small yellow and white dots in the atmosphere. The moon looked like the stars: yellow- looking banana- shaped planet in the sky, just bigger than the stars. Its reflection affected the cement as if it were made of metal. It lit my way as I walked home, which helped me a lot.

I made it back home and unlocked the door. I entered the dark building and clicked on the light switch. I shouted to aware my dad i'm home as if he was too. I closed the door and locked it again. I hanged my bag on the coat hanger and i took off my shoes. I was starting to get hungry so i quickly made a little snack and ate it, waiting for dad to come back. I watched TV and chilled. After a while, it was getting boring for me to watch TV so i washed my dish and got up to get ready for bed. When i got back upstairs, i quickly washed my face and teeth and dressed in my pajamas, making barely any effort for selfcare. Entering my bedroom, i didn't turn on the light but i jumped on the bed and tucked into the sheets. I looked at my phone to see a text i got from Mike saying "Good night <3" with some more hearts. I quickly texted back and put my phone on charger. Then i stared at ceiling until i fell asleep.
