Chapter 11: Draken, hear me out!

Date: 25. July.2005 / Monday

It's the next day and you didn't speak to Mikey in the morning. He ignored you while you did the same.

You helped Gramps with housework. After that, the two of you got rid of the junk in Mikey's old room.

"Can you take that outside, please?", Gramps asks tiredly, a small smile on his face while giving you a trash bag.

"Yes. Then we've got rid of everything in this room, right?", you ask happily, taking the trash bag from him.

"Yes.", he answers tiredly, before sitting down on an old chair.

"Great! Then please rest now, Gramps. I'll clean everything up!", you say smiling warmly while you wipe the sweat off your face.

"Thank you.", he says tiredly as he walks to the living room to rest.

While you are cleaning the room Emma and Mikey come home. You are so absorbed in cleaning that you don't notice them coming into the room.

"Woah!", Emma suddenly says, surprised over the tidy old room.

You flinch at the sudden noise, dropping the rag before you look up startled.

"Sorry! Did we startle you?", Emma asks concerned, leisurely walking to you through the room.

"Yeah... . A little.", you mutter silently, wiping your sweat from you face while you stand up. You take a quick glance to Mikey before you smile to Emma. "Welcome home you two."

"Gramps said that you were here. But wow! You've really done a lot today!", Emma chirps while looking around the room amazed.

"Was this room always so small?", Mikey mumbles, walking around the room calmly.

"Don't you remember your own room?", Emma asks him disbelieving, crossing her arms while she shakes her head at him.

"Shut up, Emma. It's been a long time since I was here.", he says annoyed to Emma, pouting a little before a melancholic look appears in his black eyes.

"I like this room! It's so comfy.", you say happily, smiling brightly to the two as you sit down on the floor.

"That's true! Now you only need furniture. Let's buy it together!", Emma declares, grinning in excitement at you.

"Great idea!", you chirp happily, a small giggle escaping your lips while you grin widely.

"Then you don't need to share a room with Mikey anymore. Isn't that great?!", she asks you smiling slightly while she tilts her head to the side questioningly.

"...yeah.", you mumble slowly, glancing to Mikey while he looks away minding his own business.

Emma just grins looking between you two, before she turns around and walks towards the door.

"I'm going now! See ya' later~!", Emma says leisurely as she walks out of the room.

"Emma? Where are you going?!", you call out to her surprised, standing up again. But Emma ignores you, chuckling a little before closing the door behind her.

You are now alone with Mikey in his old room and you two just stand there awkward. After a few minutes in silence you try to start a conversation.

"Um... . Can we talk?", you ask slowly, glancing to him shyly while you stand a few feet away.

He looks at you emotionlessly before asking. "...you still want to talk about him, right?"

"Yeah... .", you mumble shyly, looking down while you hold your arm. "We have to find a solution."
