Safe In Your Arms

Time flies

5 months later.

I woke up and went downstairs for some breakfast.

As soon as I got downstairs, I knew I was alone.

"Again. And they didn't even tell me."

I got some cereal and sat down on the kitchen counter.

I called mom.

"Hello"

"Mom, where are you? Where's everyone?"

"I'm sorry Lye I didn't get to tell you, I got a call last night from my boss I had to fly to Germany, I'm sorry I didn't say bye, I was going to call you a little later, I didn't think you'd be awake."

"Oh Awe, where's dad?"

"He went with Ashley and Lindsay to LA, they'll be back later."

"What did they go to LA for?"

"To look for a nice house for Ashley and Jake."

"And why didn't they ask me to come? I would've loved to go."

"I'm not sure sweetie, I'll call him. Well I got to go, I have a meeting early tomorrow morning, and I've gotta get some sleep, see you later, love you."

"Love you."

Wow. I can't believe my family left me again.

I decided to text Michael.

We had been getting along quite well. He was one of my best friends again. I was so happy that I decided to give it another chance. Everything with him was going so well. I was happy that he was back in my life.

To: Michael
Hey :) doing anything today?

As I waited for him to reply, I took a shower and got ready.

From: Michael
Just school. But we can do something after? :)

Damn, I forgot he went to college already and I didn't. Well, that was another shot at my self esteem.

To: Michael
Okay :) let me know when you're out.

From: Michael
Okay

"What am I going to do for 5 hours?" I said groaning.

It was 9 am and Michael didn't get home till 1 pm.

I walked over to Bri's house to see if she was home, but she wasn't. So I walked back to my house and watched T.V.

About 30 minutes in. I got a text from Michael.

From: Michael
Hey, class got cancelled, come over :)

From: Michael
Wear something nice, I'm taking you somewhere special :)

To: Michael
Oh okay see ya in 10.

From: Michael
Make it quick.

I didn't respond I just ran upstairs and got ready.
I didn't know what to wear, cause I didn't know where we were going. What if I pick something out and it turns out to be the worst thing I could've chosen.

To: Michael
Where exactly are we going?

From: Michael
Surprise :)

To: Michael
Can I get a hint?

From: Michael
If you hurry, you'll know faster.

To: Michael
But what should I wear?

From: Michael
Wait, I'll go, hold on.
