Highschool Sweethearts

chapter 5

"What the fuck Keisha you make me stop was I'M doing to come pick YOU up from school because your "sick" I was cleaning the house since your to fat and lazy to do it" Miles mom yells at him while driving down the road back to their house.

"I'm sorry mom I really don't feel good though I feel like I'm going to throw up my stomach hurts and my head hurts I'm so sorry that I get sick sometimes" Miles tells her getting an attitude but having a slight point.

Steff smacks him in the mouth and causes his lip to bleed.

"Do NOT get an attitude with me young lady I am your mother I gave birth to you I brought you into this world I can take you out" Steff yells at him pulling into the town they live in.

Miles stays quiet for a minute trying to stop his lip from bleeding anymore. "You made my lip bleed again" he tells her quietly.

"Maybe you shouldn't have bit it" Steff answers him pulling into the drive way.

"Mom this isn't the first time you've made my lip bleed from this and you left a hand print on my face again" Miles says looking at himself in the rear view mirror.

"Is that another attitude do you want to get smacked in the mouth again" Steff asks turning off the truck

Miles stays quiet watching her get out of the truck "get out of my damn truck and go inside since your soooo sick you can go lay down and give me your damn phone I'm going through it" steff says putting her hand out for it.

Miles hands her his phone amd she yanks it out of his hand and goes in the house he follows her inside and goes up to his room grabbing his computer and watches a movie before falling asleep.

Time skip brought to you by my daddy and mommy issues

"MARIE WAKE THE FUCK UP" Steff yells throwing a shoe up the stairs.

Miles jumps awake and the thud of the shoe and his mom's yelling.

"Yes mom I'm awake is everything okay" Miles asks peaking his head out of his bedroom door

As he looks out his room his mom throws another shoe up the stairs almost hitting him "shit I'm sorry boo boo I just wanted to say dinner is done and your phone is on the table" Steff tells him smiling acting like nothing happened a few hours ago or just a second ago.

"I'm not hungry but I'll eat later" Miles tells her going down the stairs grabbing his phone and shoving it in his pocket.

"Okay honey how are you feeling still sick" Steff asks plating some food for his little sister.

"I'm feeling better still feel like shit though" He says taking some ibuprofen for his head and his anxiety meds for well his anxiety.

"Okay if you still feel sick tomorrow ill take you to the doctor" Steff says handing the plate she was putting food on to his sister.

"Okay mom I'm gonna go lay back down now" Miles tells her before going up the stairs and checking his phone and as soon as he opens his phone he sees Oliver is calling him and he smiles.

"Hey bestie" Oliver says sounds happy.

"Hey Olie what's up" Miles asks and closes his bedroom door.

"I was just- wait did you just call me Olie...?" Oliver asks taken aback by the nickname.

"Yeah sorry I thought it'd be a cute little nickname for my best friend since coi is starting to be a dick to me and Sparrow i don't even wanna get started on her" Miles says yawning.

"Oh okay well I was just wandering how your feeling i haven't heard from you since you left school" Oliver says as they speak you can hear the smile I'm his voice.

"Dysphoria is still hitting bad but not as bad and I still feel a little sick" Miles tells him while laying down on his bed.

"Well it's good your feeling better I was also wandering if you'd wanna go to the dance with me....as friends of course" Oliver asks quickly adding the last part.

Miles feels his heart break a little as Oliver adds the "as friends".

"Yeah sure why not I didn't plan on going but sure why not I don't don't anything better to do so why not as...friends yeah that works" Miles says feeling tears come to his eyes even though yes Oliver and him were only friends it still hurt a lot.

"Okay great uh I hate asking this but can you pick me up my mom has to work and she can't take me" Oliver asks quietly

"Yeah of course we can doesn't it start are 6?" Miles asks wipes away his tears.

"Thank you so much and yes it's at 6 ends at 8" Olvier tells Miles happily.

"Okay yeah we will pick you up around 5:50 if that's okay" Miles asks.

"Sounds great well I gotta go supper is done have a nice night talk to you later bestie" Oliver says before hanging up the phone.

"Bye Olie I love you....platonically" Miles says and when Oliver hangs up the phone Miles sets down his phone and turns on music.
