My Only Hope

Chapter 0.5

I'm suddenly woken up by the feeling of being moved. Panic starts to set in seeing as I don't remember where I am. I keep my eyes closed in fear that my kidnapper might hurt me for being awake until I hear a voice talking.

"Alright mate, I'm gonna get her and Pink home. I should probably get home myself" I heard the soothing voice of Michael whisper to someone. Mchael starts to lift me off the couch in what feels like the bridal position, with pink in tow right behind him. I wine quietly from the loss of my warm spot and cuddle into his chest.

"Drive safe then, I'm gonna get these lazy sacks out of my house and finish homework." I hear what I can assume is luke. They exchange a few more words that I don't really pay attention to because the smell of michaels cologne is intoxicating and it's making me sleepy again. I feel Michael start moving causing me to whine louder due to the movement making him chuckle.

"We gotta get you home lovey." He whispers in my ear. I grumble in response and open up my eyes slightly to find Michael already looking down at me, chuckling lightly. I squirm in his arms wanting to get down. I do enjoy being in Michaels arms but it just hit me that I just met him today and I'm already letting him pick me up and carry me around. I shouldn't be so comfortable with him and I definitely shouldn't let him carry me around no matter how much I like it.

Michael seemed to get the message that I wanted down and gently set me on the floor. I yawned and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes quietly. I turned around to wave goodbye at the three boys behind me.

"I'll take Pink, hand me the leash p-p-plea-se" I mumble quietly to Michael. He nods his head in agreement and hands the leash over to me. I blush when our hands touch while I'm taking the leash from him. I've never noticed just how tall Michael is compared to me. He's got to be like 6'2, 6'3 maybe and I'm only 4'6 if I'm lucky. I hate that I'm so short but that's because of the abuse and being starved by my father. I pull my hand away from Mikey's with the leash in hand. Michael walks towards the door with myself in tow. Michael opens the door for Pink and I to walk through.

I walk out the door with pink and quietly thank Michael as I pass him on the way to his truck. When I get to the truck I just stand patiently and wait for him to come to the truck. I look over to the door to see Michael talking with the boys inside the garage. I can't quite make out what they're saying to each other but I have a feeling it's about me. I see Michael wave and close the door before quickly making his way towards the truck.

"Ya know ya could've waited for me in the truck love" He said as he approached me. I look down and blush realizing how stupid I must've looked just standing here waiting for him to get done talking to the boys.

I bow my head before apologising and quietly climbing into the truck with much difficulty. Michael didn't say anything as he helped Pink in the truck next to me. I continued to look down at my lap as Michael gets in the truck and starts it. As he starts to pull away he clicks on the music and Jasey Rae by All Time Low starts playing through the radio.

"A-are y-y-our parents worried about where you are?" I ask quietly to break the comfortable silence we had. I was worried I was getting Michael in trouble.

"Don't worry love, my mum and I have an understanding, I get good grades and keep my room clean and basically I can do whatever I want" He says happily as he continues to drive.

"I guess that's kinda the same way with my aunt. She doesn't really care what I do or where I go, but that's probably because I don't really have any friends nor do I really leave the house. So I guess she doesn't really have anything to worry about with me". I mumble quietly to him.

"Well love, I'll be getting you out of the house more often." Michael said as he gave me a big grin. I nod yes to him then start looking at the window to watch the scenery as it moves past the window. I let us fall back into a comfortable silence as the ride continues.
