Pain

Sweet mint

I woke up with my face snuggled into Michael still. It was night time, I could hear dishes being moved around in the kitchen. I looked up to see Michael's eyes closed. He was breathing through his nose and I could feel his chest go up and down with every breath he took. His cheeks were a little red and he looked so comfortable and harmless.

His arm was still firmly wrapped around my shoulders being careful not to tough my ribs and are legs were tangled together. I shifted a little and he pulled me closer and tightened his grip.

I think if he were to pull me anymore closer I'd suffocate. As I was laying there I was thinking about how fast all this happened. Just this morning, he was hitting me and caused me to fall unconscious and now were here together cuddling. How?

"You know since your awake you could have just woken me up so I could let you go." He said. I jumped not expecting him to be awake. Just a second ago he was asleep.

I looked up at him. His eyes were still closed but he was awake. "Okay then let me go so I can get up." I said.

He smiled. "No." He said. "Your warm and I don't feel like letting you go." He said.

"Okay, what if I need to go to the bathroom." I said.

"Well to bad." He said opening his eyes.

I started to push on his chest with my arms but he quickly dug his other arm underneath me and locked his fingers together. He was now bear hugging me but I continued to push. "Nope, your not going anywhere." He chuckled. "Don't you have to like be somewhere." I sighed.

"Is that you way of telling me to leave." He said.

"Yeah, basically." I mumbled into his chest. "Fine." He said releasing me. He got off of the bed and I quickly felt coldness hit my body. Once he got up all of the warmth was gone. I watched as he straightened out his black leather jacket and brushed off his black skinny jeans.

"Bye." He half heartedly said as he started walking towards the door.

"No, Michael wait." I said slowly getting up. He was already half way out the door before I pulled him back into the room and closed the door.

"Don't leave, you were keeping me warm." I said as I wrapped my arms around his torso. He stood there not hugging me back so I gave up. "Okay fine leave then, I can see I already pissed you off." I said walking back over to the bed.

As I was about to lay back down he turned me around and lifted me up. He was bear hugging me while my legs were hanging in mid air. "I was just kidding about leaving, you didn't piss me off." He mumbled into my ear.

He set me back down and I playfully pushed him. "Thanks for making me get up off the bed." He laughed. "I knew you weren't gonna let me leave." He said with a smirk. I glared at him.

"Mia." I heard my aunt call my name. I pushed Michael out of the way and walked out of the room. "Uh rude." I heard him say as I was walking down the hall.

I found my aunt in the kitchen putting away dishes that were in the dishwasher. "How are you feeling." She said as she put a plate down and walked over to me. She gave me a soft hug and gently touched my face.

"I'm fine, my ribs just hurt whenever I get up to do something or move around but I'm fine." I said. "Okay, are you sure you don't remember anything." She said.

"No, all I can remember is walking to school and that's it." I said. She sighed. "Well the doctors gave me some pain killers for you to take." She said. I nodded my head.

"I grabbed the bottle of pills from her and popped it open. I took a pill from the bottle and closed it back up. I filled a glass of water and swallowed the pill.  As I was gonna walk back to the room she stopped me. "I ordered some pizza for you and your boyfriend." She said. I almost chocked. "Oh uh thanks, but he's not my boyfriend, he's just uh....friend." I said.
