My Girl

Looking Around for Clues

Alana

I woke up to the smell of breakfast tacos. My facorite breakfast meal! I walk to the bathroom and clean myself up a bit and walk to the kitchen area and find Michael with a bag of food. "Whatcha got there?" I ask sheeplishly. "Breakfast tacos. I got eggs, cheese and bacon and some with chorizo. I haven't had it before but I was told that it is very good." He said chuckling. "It's really good." I say smiling at him. "I also bought orange juice. I don't know if you like it or not, but I got it." He said smiling inocently. "I love orange juice." I told him. "YAAAYY!!" He yelled. I laughed at how cute he was then we both sat at the couch. We tate the two types of tacos. He bought a dozen of each so we both had six of each. "Thank you so much! You're the best!" I said hugging him. He hugged back, and it was perfect. We sipped on our orange juice in silence. "I'm going to get a job to help pay for things around here. I'm not gping to let you do this all alone. And when Adam comes down here, we can live with him and his girlfriend. Or maybe they can help us." I told him. He sat there silently, thinking. "But obly part time job, because I don't want you working too much." Michael said. I nodded and went to go get dressed. I threw away my trash and ran into the shower. I have an interview today and I need to look nice.

I get out of the shower and wrap my hair in a towel. I grab a bra, underwear, a nice shirt and a pair of pants. After I put my clothes on, I go to grab my make up and put some on. I applied to work at Panera Bread because I need money and they have job openings...it's a great match. I dry my hair and put it in a nice, neat bun.

"Michael, I'm going out for my interview. I'll be back at around 12 ish." I told him. He looked at me and sighed. "I wish I had a car so I could drive you. Be safe!" I nodded and started my walk to my interview.

The walk is only 10 minutes and I am very nervous. When my name is called up, I walk in the back of the resturant and in the manager's office. Great. I will get interviewed by the manager himself. This will be harder.

Michael

When Alana leaves, I go looking around the house to find if she has anything else she uses to harm herself. I want this to be her safe haven. I want to be her safe haven. I've grown to love her in these few days. I can't believe I did all those horrible things to her. She is so inocent and fragile. I want to help her.

I think she likes me. I really hope she does, because I like her too. I can't ask her to be my girlfriend yet, it's too soon and so much has happened. I will have to wait a few weeks or so to be able to ask. Waiting. Fun.

I look through her drawers in the bathroom and find a bag of razors. My heart sank and tore. My eyes watered and I began to cry. I sat on the floor with the bag still in the drawer.

Why? Why does she do this? I know about her past life, but I just don't want her to do this.

I take the bag and throw it away along with the lone razor. She wont be hurting herself anymore. I need to talk to her about this. Soon. Not today, but soon.
