The Alternate Life

The Beauty Of Life-PART 2

It was Friday morning. Mikey lay in bed wondering if he was gay. Not a lot of people suspected him, but it was enough to get him thinking. Whenever Olive was accused of being gay, Mikey's heart started dancing around. "Maybe I'm bi.." thought Mikey. It was Olive that was making him change his mind. Last year Mikey did not know Olive, and Mikey liked many girls. When Mikey saw Olive, he saw him as more than just a friend. Mikey started to see that girls did not look as cute compared to Olive, and Mikey fell in love with Olive's smile (and his butt which he constantly stared at). Mikey just wanted to hug him and call him his. He just wanted to grab his hand and go on an adventure with him and act stupid. Mikey just wanted to be accepted. With Olive he could act gay and Olive wold never tease him. Olive was different, and Mikey loved that.

After school. Mikey paced the front of the school, waiting for Olive. Mikey turned around and saw Olive running, then collapsed on him because he couldn't stop fast enough. Mikey couldn't take Olive's weight and fell on the grass. Both of them laughed into each other's face and when Mikey started to calm down, he noticed that Olive was staring at Mikey. "Um..." Mikey felt very awkward. "You're beautiful. I love you." Mikey blushed and his heart started to race, and his palms started to get sweaty. Olive smiled and kissed him on the cheek, and of course Mikey almost passed out. Olive gazed into Mikey's eyes until they heard running. Mikey immediately shot up, while Olive was still holding on to his leg. It was Emma, Sara and Martha, who took one look at them and started screaming in joy. Mikey shook his head and tried to act like nothing happened, while Olive tried to act stupid by walking into a tree.

It was nighttime, and Mikey lay on his bed wondering about his sexuality. Being gay was like living in a fairy-tale, so much more exciting. Mikey couldn't sleep, he never liked anyone like how he liked Olive. He didn't like Olive, he loved him. He smiled at his ceiling, until he heard something. It sounded like, an angel singing?

"I wanna sleep next to you, but that's all I want to do right now! And I wanna come home to you, but home is just a room full of my safest sounds. Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow

I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone

I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down

I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal

I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)

So if you don't mind, I'll walk that line
Stuck on the bridge between us
Gray areas and expectations
But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you

But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
(talk me down)"

Mikey listened until the end and ran over to his window, where he saw Olive hold a poster that said "I LOVE YOU MIKEY". Mikey gasped and turned a deep shade of red. God, he just wanted to kiss that idiot. An idiot with the voice of an angel.

Mikey woke up from his nap at 10:00. He got up and looked around and was stunned by the beautiful scenery (which was Olive). Olive was all dressed up in a tux, and Mikey's eyes were glued to him. Wow, his husband was so attractive . "Get up Mikey, we're going to a bar." "Wait, you want to GET DRUNK?!" "NOOOOOO you idiot, I have a surprise for you. Come get dressed up."

Olive showed the security his I.D. and they got inside. Olive put his arm on Mikey's shoulder and whispered "we're at a gay bar. Obviously." Mikey laughed a little too loud and starting slapping his leg. He fell and started rolling around, laughing. Everyone started to look at them and Olive kissed Mikey on the cheek. "Everyone, I'm performing today. This is my husband Mikey." Mikey bowed and Olive started to walk onto the stage. "I'm going to perform one of my favorite artist's songs. This is dedicated to Mikey."

"Trying hard not to fall.

On the way home

You were trying to wear me down, down

Kissing up on fences
And up on walls
On the way home
I guess it's all working out, now

'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool, oh

Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild

'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild

You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild

(Wild, wild, hey!)

White noise in my mind
Won't calm down
You're all I think about

Running on the music
And night highs
But when the light's out
It's me and you now, now

'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild

'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild

You're driving me wild, wild, wild [4x]

You make my heart shake
Bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild

You make my heart shake
Bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild

(Hey)
Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh (hey)
And it drives me wild (hey, hey)

'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh (hey)
It drives me wild (hey)

You're driving me wild, wild, wild " Olive bowed but Mikey couldn't focus on anything. "I love my husband, Mikey, and he needed a break from his life so I brought him here. I wanted to sing him this, cause we literally kissed on every single wall walking home."

Mikey woke up to the smell of Olive showering. Olive's soaps smelled so strong, you can smell it from the other room. Mikey tried to cover his nose with the covers, but it was just too strong. Olive walked out with Panda Pajamas, and Mikey laughed. He had to admit, Olive looked adorable in anything. "Bae I'm not feeling good..." Olive collapsed onto their bed and Mikey stroked his hair. Olive jolted up and slapped Mikey's face. "YEET! I BOOKED A TOUR TODAY LAZY!" Mikey tried to hide his disappointment, but quickly realized he could walk around and stare at Olive's butt all day. "YAYYYYAYAYAYAYAY!" 

Mikey and Olive walked onto their bus, which smelled like wet dog. Mikey ran so he could grab the window seat. Olive sat in the seat next to him and put their bags in the overhead. Mikey started poking Olive's butt and Olive got really creeped out and yelped. "Oh God Olive it was just me." "Mikey you perv keep your hands to yourself." "Nope" as Mikey stroked Olive's hair. "Mommy why did that man poke that other man's butt" said a little girl that sat behind them. Olive turned a deep shade of red and glared at Mikey, while Mikey started laughing. "Um honey let's go sit in the back." said the grandma to her grandchild. Seconds later Mikey burst into laughter and so did Olive. #GOALS.

The bus driver was an old, cranky guy (or is that a woman??) who didn't like people talking. "shh" she would say every time Olive kissed Mikey on the nose and Mikey giggled. Mikey started to tickle Olive and Olive started to turn a deep shade of purple and started rolling on the floor, laughing. "DO YOU THINK THAT IS SAFE??!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING??!!" said  Mr or Mrs Chamberlaut. 

"SIT DOWN! SIT DOWWWWNNNNN! NOBODY ON THIS BUS MOVE" said the Chamberlaut person. "I don't know where we're going but I drew lines on this map." Everyone gave each other "the look" because they didn't know if they would be alive by the end of the day.
