Trapped with my Badass Neighbour

18. I'm Confused... What?

On the screen was a picture of Michael...

I just kind of stood there for a while and stared at the screen, not moving my eyes from it.

I zoned out to my mum shoving me trying to wake me from this trance. I didn't budge, I just kept on staring and staring.

Until the screen went black and my mind flew back into reality.

"Destiny are you alright?" My mum asked as she shook me with worry plastered on her face. "Yeah I'm fine mum, don't worry about it okay. I'm just a bit shocked that's all." She turned her head and looked over at my dad, "I'm fine okay! Just let me go so I can get back to bed and sleep."

I ran up the stairs and closed the door to my room. I pressed my back against the door and slid down it onto the ground, clutching at my knees.

I was so confused as to where he was or what happened to him. But at the same time I didn't really give a shit because he was a fucking jerk and a bastard!

My fucking mind was just going back and forth and I just couldn't concentrate or stand it any longer!

I laid on my bed looking up. I'm trying to sleep but can't... My mind keeps on going back to Michael.

Yes, I know my head shouldn't go there but it's difficult to, well... not.

I eventually drifted off though and awoke to the sound of my alarm blaring 'All the Small Things' by Blink-182.

I left my bed and jumped into the shower, in the hopes of freshening up and to make me feel well, less tired.

Once I was all dressed, I came down stairs and quickly ate a bowl of cereal before I was off.

When I arrived at school everyone was already there, mildly I was a bit late.

They all greeted me while Matt embrace me in a hug and a peck to my cheek.

"Hey Destiny, don't forget that we have detention after school today." Andy thankfully reminded me, because let's be honest I always forget about my detentions, and end up having to sit in referral the next day. In which I believe to be total bullshit! But I can't do shit about it.

I didn't ask if they heard about Michael, frankly I just wanted to forget all about it really.

We went to our lockers and grabbed the shit for our first lesson. I had art with Talia, at least I can relax and just zone into my art.

Our newest assessment was an abstract painting. I've got a few ideas and drafts scribbled inside my art journal. The only issue was that it was a painting and I'm not that skilled in that area, so it was going to be a challenge.

The time in that lesson flew so quickly, that within no time the bell had rung and I still had paints everywhere. Shit.

Talia stayed back with me and helped me to clean up my mess. My teacher Ms. Brooks looked at me with a laugh, "Did you get a bit lost in the piece?" She asked as she put her laptop inside of her case, "Yeah something like that." I answered with a light giggle. "Well I need to go to break, but can you girls just make sure that the door is locked before you leave?" "Sure that should be fine." I said with a smile as I scrunched up the newspaper, throwing it into the bin.

We'd finally finished and were on our way towards the grass. "OH MY GOD DESTINIY!!!" James screamed at me as Talia and I approached. "What?" I asked as I rolled my eyes.

"Did you see the news last night?"

Okay... I had no idea on whether to lie or not...

"Umm no what happened?" I just couldn't do it so I just went with his conversation. "Well Michael is missing! What the fuck could've happened to the dick?" He laughed.
