I sighed as I looked out the bus window. I turned the volume on full blast making it to where people sitting by me could hear it. I shrugged it off and kept looking out the window at all the different shadows.
I sighed pulling out my phone and opening my messages. Texting the only friend I had. Michael Gordan Clifford.
Hot Dog Boy: hey
Me: hi.
Hot Dog Boy: what's up?
Me: waiting to get off this dumb ass bus
Hot Dog Boy: oh btw, happy birthday.
Me: Thanks Mike
Hot Dog Boy: mmhmm :)
Me: your smiley can't breathe
Hot Dog Boy: What do you mean?
Me: where's the nose Clifford?
Me: :-)
Hot Dog Boy: oh gee, my bad *rolls eyes*
Me: rude
Hot Dog Boy: :-)
Me: brb
Hot Dog Boy: I'll just see you at the park
Me: alright, bye Mike
Hot Dog Boy: Bye Lukey 😘

"LUKE WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" my mother boomed. "I-I just to m-Michael's. " I whimpered "YOU KNOW I DONT WANT YOU TWO HANGING OUT! AFTER WHAT HAPPENED, YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF!" she yelled "m-mom it's for a s-school p-project " I whimpered "FINE, BE BACK BEFORE SEVEN!" I nodded and practically ran out the door. Then ran to the park looking for Michael.
Michael.... Mike, Mikey, I loved this boy. He makes me happy, he makes the demons go away. He makes me feel loved. But there's no chance with us being together...... Amazing how a boy with wild red hair can make you feel so special.
There. He was right there. My Mikey.
"hey Luke!" Michael yelled smiling, and me being myself I ran over to him and hugged him. "Mikey!" I smiled as he hugged back. "I missed you too Lukey," he chuckled
"you're not leaving again are you?" I mumbled against his chest. He smelt the same as always. Minty with a touch of cherry.
"no Lukey I'm not leaving again" he smiled and looked down at me. I clutched into him "promise?" I whispered as he nodded "I promise." he said and ruffled my hair. I giggled and pulled away from the hug.
"did I miss anything?" he smiled and I looked down "not really,," I lead "I mean you were only gone for two weeks, but it felt like months." I whispered and looked up at his beautiful green orbs.
"I know but I had to go," he pouted. oh no what I do? oh gee, this is all my fault. Don't be sad Mikey. "why are you smiling upside down, I know you had to but I'm just implying I missed you."
" I missed you too." he smiled and paused "can I ask you something?" he looked down at me and I nodded "of course anything." I smiled
"where did all these bruises come from?" he said and softly cupped my cheeks examining the bruises.
I couldn't tell him my mum did it. He'd tell someone. "I fell..." he raised an eyebrow "oh yeah? how? where?" "Michael please," I whispered "Luke tell me the truth... was it your mum? kids at school?" I looked at him and whimpered "mum..." I trailed off. he looked at me sympathetically. "Lukey-"
