[ michael's pov ]

i wake up it the middle of the night all covered in sweat.

i untangle myslef from sam and i quietly leave the room trying not to wake her up.

i need to clear up my head so i decide to go out for a walk. as soon as i step out of the building the fresh air hits me, making me regret going out with just a shirt and a pair of boxers on.

i start walking caught up in my own thoughts, i don't know how much time goes by until i suddenly stumble down.

'what the...?' i blurt out as i fall to the ground.

i look around to find out that i have no idea where i am. i've never gone this far from the building.

as i'm standing up from the ground something caughts my eye.
there's a half burried notebook standing out, that must be what made me fall down.

i bend over to pick it up, and when i look at it closer, i realize it's not a notebook, it's a diary.

the cover is blue, and it has a small white sticker on one side where you can read the owner's name: sam.

i rise my eyebrows surprised. what is sam's diary doing here? did she loose it accidentally or did she put it here to hide it?

my curiosity is too big to ignore it, and eventhough i know it's wrong to read someone's diary without their permission, i open the diary and start reading the first page.

<< 24/03/13

it has been a week since they brought me to this place.
i kind of like it.
i'm glad i'm finally far from my family and everyone else back home.
i told the doctors i don't want to see anyone who came to visit. i doubt that anyone will come anyways.

everyone looks at me as i'm crazy. it's funny how they think it's all my fault. but i don't care about what they think, i don't care about anyone but him. luckily he has come with me here. they don't let me see him yet, it doesn't matter. eventually we will find a way back to eachother. >>

i stop reading feeling like i'm intruding sam's feelings.

shit i shouldn't have started reading it in the first place.

i close the diary and start walking back to the building, which takes me long enough to see the sky turn yellow, announcing the new day.

when i get to the room sam is still asleep. i've thought about what to do with the diary but i haven't decided anything yet. i can't read it because that would be wrong, but i also don't want to give it back to sam.
so for the moment i decide to hide it in my closet inside my underwear's drawer. after doing that i lay on the bed again. three seconds later i fall asleep. i guess the midnight walk made me pretty tired.

when i wake up again sam is gone.
it says 4pm on the green clock hanging in the wall.

i smile asleepy and close my eyes again. i really love waking up late.

'charlie!! charlie open the damn door' the sound of sam's voice makes me open my eyes after a minute or two.

'charlie if you're still asleep i will..' she stops when i open the door.

'oh hi' she smiles.

'someone's in a mood' i rise my eyebrows amused.

'sorry i was soo bored all day without you, i even had to eat with luke'

i laugh at the face she makes when she says luke's name.

'he was all the time telling me to leave you alone, that we aren't good for each other'

i shake my head. i can't believe luke still want to separate us, i thought he was over it.

i'm sad that we aren't talking as much as we used to. besides sam, he was the first (and the only friend) i've had here.
