We're Unpredictable// Luke Hemmings

Chapter 13 - Unsteady.

*Michael's P.O.V*

Danica told me the horrid things that had recently happened to her. Her best friend passing, her mother passing, and that asshole Luke. If I ever see this kid, I swear I'll fuck him up. We've been sitting on the ground for 2 hours now. I've been trying to keep her mind off of everything. An hour ago I turned on the television, she's had her eyes glued to it ever since. I tried to put the happiest show on which was Spongebob but a sad part came on. I quickly got up to go and change it but she grabbed my wrist in the process.

"No." Is all that escaped her lips at first. I stared at her in confusion. "Don't leave, I don't care if it's sad. Please just don't leave my side." I nodded in response. I sat back down beside her. She looked up at me since she was smaller. I smiled at her, her only able to weakly smile back. Then she looked back up at me.

"Mikey?" She asked.

"Yeah, Dani?" I responded.

"Why did you run after me?" She questioned. I looked down at my wrist covered with bracelets.

"Well Danica, believe it or not.. I've had my ups and downs before too. I have bought the same things as you for the same reason. I knew I couldn't save you, unfortunately, but I knew I could stitch you're wounds. I also couldn't bare to see a girl who was obviously all alone, harm herself and afterwards feel like no one cares that she did it. A lot of people that don't even know you would care. I didn't know you and I cared. I didn't want you to be alone, I figured you needed a friend and I wanted to be that friend." I explained to the blonde-hair girl with sad blue eyes. I took one look at her and I could see how broken she was. Her eyes should be sparkling but instead they were dark and cold. She had so much sadness, pain, fear, and regret in her eyes. In those couple of moments staring at her, I realized what I needed to do. I needed to fix her. Danica stared at me for a bit after I explained to her.

She finally spoke. "Thank you Michael." After she thanked me she hugged me tightly. I gave her the same hug back. I could tell that Danica and I were going to be very good friends. Right now I currently live with my 2 best mates. Hopefully the boys don't mind a extra roommate, honestly they probably won't considering Danica is a sweet girl, not another dude who could end up being an ass. I really liked Danica. Not in a more than friends way though. She was a really nice girl and I knew she was going to stick around. The more I thought the heavier my eyes got. I keep them open a bit longer to look down at Danica who was cuddled up, laying her head on my shoulder.  She still had her eyes focused on the television. I refused to shut my eyes until Danica had and so I continued watching Spongebob.

A half an hour had past and Dani's eyes finally fluttered a couple times and then had closed. I grabbed a pillow from the bed and slid it under her head as my replacement.  I got up trying to find away to close and lock the door so Dani and I were safe. I walked to the bathroom and got an towel. Since I busted down the door in panic there was no way to lock it. I put the towel through the small crack underneath the door, preventing the door from opening easily. Safe, we are safe now. I felt a wave of relief wash over me.

The room that we were currently staying in was very nice. It has two small bed next to each other which was very convenient. They weren't that small though, enough to fit two people, but not massive. I carefully slipped my hands underneath Danica and lifted her up. I walked to the bed that was closest and placed her gentle. Thankfully she was still asleep and I hadn't awoken her. I walked back to the bed I was to sleep in and laid down.

I was watching people's snapchat stories until I hears Danica rustle around in the bed 3 feet away from mine. I looked over at her tossing and turning, she had her eyes closed, she was dreaming, more like having a nightmare. I heard her begin to cry in her sleep. I jumped up and shook her shoulder, she was still crying when she woke up. Her eyes adjusted to me, as soon as they did she latched onto me. She buried her head into my chest and I just held her. I held her until she settled down. I didn't dare to ask. I went to get up and lay back in my bead but she grabbed my wrist.

"Please just stay here, I just need someone to hold me for a little longer. I had a nightmare, of them." She pleaded. I gave it. This poor girl was so broken. She needed someone to pick up all the shattered pieces of her heart and put them back together.

"Okay, just calm down. You're going to be okay. I'm here." It all escape my lips in one breath. I laid down beside here. She turned to me and buried her face into my chest one again. I held her as she asked for. I gently played with her hair to sooth her to sleep. Eventually her eyes flutter shut, once again. I had been exhausted after the events from today. I yawned and felt myself drifting to sleep.I didn't want to wake Dani so I decided to stay there. Then my eyes grew heavier. My eyes finally shut and i felt myself drifting of to sleep.
