jealously

i layed in my bed staring at the ceiling. i twiddled my fingers impatiently as i waited for the clock to strike the time i am suppose to meet calum. the pitter padder of my heart was the only thing i was focused on. i anxiously got up when the time came. i slipped shoes on, then my faded gray jacket that was given to me when i came here.

reaching the door michaels bed creeked, to which i ignored. "where are you going?"
i turned around to see michael sitting straight up in bed.

"what?" i said. he shifted in his bed.

"w-where are you going?"

"why should i tell you?" it came off more harsh than i expected. immediately feeling guilt i sighed. "i mean.. why do you care anyway?" still not nice but better.

"i just wanted to know. i don't have the right to ask where my friend is going?" michael crossed his arms over his chest like a child. friend? since when were michael and i, "friends."

"i'm just going to hang out with calum for a little bit. is that okay with you?" i said sarcastically rolling my eyes. michael's eyes darkened and i could feel the air in the room get cold. he twitched and started mumbling, turning his head whisper-yelling at nothing.
"shut up. shut up. shut up. shut up!" he repeated. not again. one of his episodes. "michael stop. not tonight, don't do this to me. if you have one of your melt downs i won't be able to leave. i'll get caught. please just calm down. i-i'll be back some time tonight i promise don't worry. okay?"

michael kept twitching. i sighed and stomped my way over to him placing a hand gently on his shoulder. "hey."

i felt him relax beneath my touch. i rubbed his shoulder. "calm down, michael. i will be back, okay? you won't be alone for long. when i get back we can play cards or something." i smiled.

"okay. whatever." michael layed down and threw the blanket over him. i took my hand to pat him on the leg as a good-bye gesture which only earned me a hiss and him smacking my hand away. i sighed again. "see ya, michael." i made my way to the door quietly and escaped before michael was going to have another break down.

this place was always scary, but at night it was even worse. i walked the long narrow hallways passing rooms. you never know what you're going to hear when walking past patients room in tanglewood manor. i kept a look put before turning every corner to make sure no guards or sisters were up and around. finally i got to the bakery's door, pushed it open and slid inside. it was dimly lit. moon light was the only thing lighting the room from the window. then a lightbulb was on, but flickering. i grabbed the string attached to it and pulled it a few times. the flickering stopped. i looked around, it was silent. "calum?" i whispered. "calum, you here?" the squeaking rubber of my shoes was the only sound. it was that quiet.

i heard a clank come from behind the rolling dough table. i swooshed around faster than lightning. i stepped slowly around the corner grabbing an island in the middle of the room. then bam out of no where, hands were wrapped around my waist and a hand clamped over my mouth. i froze, not really knowing what to do. "guess who." the voice said in a low, raspy way. i spun around when their hold became loose. calum. stupid! it was calum the whole time. you fucking pussy. being scared all the time. grow a pair lucas! my thoughts had screamed at me.
