Kids in the Dark •5SOS PUNK AU• {COMPLETED}

~17~

Skylar's POV

I had gotten a call at midnight from Michael.

"Hello?" I asked in my awful just-woke-up voice.

"Oh my God, your voice is hot," I heard him breathe through the phone.

"Why did you wake me up, stupid?"

"Because I couldn't sleep and I want you to tell me a story."

God, he was such a child.

"I'm not your mom."

"You're not my dad either, but I request a bedtime story."

"Fine. Once upon a freaking time there lived your mom. She had you and when you grew up to be the stupid boy you are, she cried and disowned you. The end. Now sleep!" I didn't bother to keep my voice down because I knew Becca was still at Luke's house..

"I don't like that story. I request a new one!"

"You specifically said 'a bedtime story'. 'A' as in one! I told you one story so now, sleep!"

He sighed in defeat.

"Fine. I'll sleep. Goodnight, Skylar."

"Night, Michael."

~morning~

I rolled down the stairs (literally) because I didn't want to move my feet and I knew there was carpet everywhere to break my fall. Once I hit the floor, the carpet stifled my weak 'ow'.

I legitimately crawled to the kitchen because I didn't want to walk. I had to get up so I could reach the cereal and bowls. I decided to have some Lucky Charms but I mostly ate the marshmallows before adding milk. Once it was prepared, I was tempted to crawl into the living room with my cereal but decided against it.

I reached the living room and Becca was sitting on the couch with a bowl of cereal on her lap and her eyes were glued to the screen. Becca scooped a spoonful of her Trix cereal in her mouth and watched the show 'Hoarders: Buried Alive'. I joined her because it's always interesting to see what they have and how bad the houses are.

"I thought you were still at Luke's," I said, once we reached a commercial break.

"I came back last night. Luke dropped me off."

"What happened there?" I asked as I wiggled my eyebrows.

"I met his family after his mom helped me with a hangover."

"You're practically dating Luke already," I said, smirking.

She stiffened up slightly.

"Actually, he asked me out on a date because he confessed his attraction to me...and I did the same."

I screamed.

"My little Becky-Wecky is in love! This is gold!"

"Shut up."

"Oh, and I have an announcement to tell you," I told her, remembering the promise Michael and I made.

"Yeah?"

"Michael and I..."
