Fallen Angels

chapter 8

      After I woke up I heard Hunters phone ring. The caller ID said Emily, I had no idea who that was. He came over to the car and asked why I had his phone, I told him it rang. After explaining to him that I wasn't through his phone, I asked who Emily was. That went well. Asking if your boyfriend is cheating on you isn't a good topic to discuss. After hours of arguing i decided to walk home, after I got a snack. I walked to a 7-11 to get some chips. Upon walking in I saw one of my best friends, Michael, the one who would talk to me for hours no matter what it was about. He's one of the only friends that I have that I truly love. I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder, he turned around and wrapped his arms around me. I now feel happier than I have in a long time. I don't think anyone could know how happy I was to see him, I smiled so much in his arms my cheeks hurt. His blue eyes reassured me that everything would be alright, and his voice, enchanting.  I of course gave him my new phone number and email, he offered me a ride back home to Alex. I didn't want to even think about Alex though, so I asked if I could stay at his house. Thank god he said yes. After buying my chips and he bought his monster and a grapefruit, we hoped in his car and turned on the radio. Our favorite song came on and we sang for twenty minutes, so much fun and laughter. He asked me what I had done recently and I told him about Alex, the fight, Hunter, he made sure that I was okay and I had felt so much better. We finally got to his huge house which looked like a mansion, I hadn't seen a house this big since Mom and Dad were alive. It was cold when we arrived, the dew on the grass was freezing on the blades, I shivered and once again I had a jacket around my shoulders and he had hugged once more. When his arms are around me and I felt so secure I now realize it, I'm falling for Michael. Everything makes sense now, the emptiness inside of me, the feeling of something missing, now I know why. Everything is falling into place.  He was the one in my dream.
