more like hell.

I woke up to my alarm like every other morning. my mom had arrived home yesterday. we had a long talk about my father and she kept apologizing but I was insisting it wasn't her fault, because it wasn't. she didn't know that would ever happen.

I rolled out of bed tiredly. as I walked downstairs to get something to eat I was taken back by the sight of Michael at the table.

"Michael, what are you doing up already?" I asked surprised.

"I don't really know, I just couldn't go back to sleep. I've been up for a few hours." he admitted.

"oh, sorry." I said while grabbing an apple. he smiled at me and followed me upstairs. he walked into his room and I walked into mine.

I headed towards my bathroom and took a quick shower only washing my body and face.

as I dried myself off I glanced at my closet trying to pick out an outfit. it was kind of stressful but I finally figured it out. I pulled out my black ripped skinny jeans and my maroon fall out boy hoodie, along with my maroon vans.

I blow dried my hair and put it up in a bun and did my everyday makeup.

"Michael are you ready?" I asked knocking on his door. there was silence for about a minute.

"Michael..?" i said while opening the door slowly. I took each step with precaution.

I paused in my steps when I saw Michael laying in bed..masturbating. my feet were cemented to the ground and I couldn't move.

as soon as he saw me he immediately covered himself up and turned off what was on his computer.

"fuck," he mumbled under breath, "what the hell are you doing?" he spat.

"I- I just w-wanted to see if you were ready to go." I said still in shock of what my eyes have just viewed.

"but hey, you're the one who didn't lock the door." I argued.

"true." he smirked, "maybe I didn't on purpose." he winked.

"shut up." I said throwing a pillow at him.

"I'll be in the car." I said awkwardly walking out of the room. he nodded in reply.

I pulled out my phone and texted Ali to tell her what had happened.

to Ali- Ali...

Ali- what..?

to Ali- I just walked in..on Michael..masturbating.

Ali- oh my god..that's so gross..

to Ali- it was awkward too. extremely awkward.

Ali- I bet.

after that text I just didn't reply. I had nothing to say.

I looked up from my phone for a second and saw Michael walking towards the car.

I leaned over and honked the horn making him jump 10 feet in the air. I started laughing and he glared at me.

"what the fuck." he snapped at me.

"someone's grouchy." I put my hands up in defense.

"well you ruined my alone time this morning." he smirked directing his glance towards me. he put the keys in the ignition and the car roared alive.
