(ON HOLD) How Did We End Up Here

Chapter 1 : Blonde fringe guy

*2008*

Our house was crowded. Never in my life have we hosted a family reunion.

Never.

People that I haven't seen before who were part of the family were roaming around enjoying themselves chatting with one another. Close family friends are also here, making the theme more confusing for me.

I need to get out of here.

Searching for a place in our own house where I can find peace, I found myself in my favorite spot.

This room was supposed to be a mini library but we didn't had the time to fill it with books.

So basically this was just a room with some books a sofa and a tv. Mom and Dad, being so busy at work never set foot in this room.
Being the only child I am the only one allowed to have unlimited access here.

Hmm?
And what's this thing doing here?

I found a guitar lying at the sofa,
It wasn't mine though.
Mine was white and never had the chance to come out of my bedroom. This one was the typical acoustic guitar often used by professionals. god, I wish I had one of these ...

I guess no one would mind if I could just borrow it for a minute right?

Taking the instrument in my hands, I strum the strings and thought of a song to play...
A few minutes later I found myself playing Blink 182's I Miss You.

"don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head..."

"Cool" someone said

I turned around and found a tall blonde boy who has the best fringe I have ever seen. His bangs were so long it almost covered his eyebrows. He had big eyes and was smiling awkwardly at me.
Do I look weird? Probably.
Oh right..! This is probably his guitar!

"Woahh. Wait, is this your guitar? Sorry, I walked into this room and I just-"

"It's okay" he smiled
"I just brought it so I could do something besides mingle with family friends I don't even remember."

Finally! Someone who understands me!

"Totally! Introducing myself to different people again and again is exhausting !" I said.

"Yeah. I know the feeling." He chuckled

He came closer and sat beside me on the sofa.

"was that Blink 182's I miss you you were singing? That was totally cool."

"Um yeah. I like their songs a lot." I said.

He extended his hand to me and said

"I'm Michael. Michael Clifford"
