Castaway ۞

*4*

I started by moving the bed. Away from the wall and closer to a window, smaller than the one in the other room, but still bigger than a standard window. Once I had the bed in the right place I made it, neatly laying the sheet on the mattress and placing each pillow perfectly spaced.

I started to hum to myself, and before long I had started singing quietly. I started to look for the strange man, to look for some decor for the room. This time instead of ending up in a bedroom, I found myself in a kitchen. A note, my medication, a glass of water and a phone sat on the counter.

Jazmyn,
I've gone to meet some friends. Ill be going to the shop later, use the phone to text me anything you need. The phone is yours now, please be careful with it as I won't be able to buy one for a while. Take your medication at the normal time, I will know if you take it too early or too late. One of my acquaintances will be coming to check on you later. Don't be rude! You'll know when he's there, he's loud enough. There's entertainment in the lounge or there are a few things in my room (the one you fell in earlier) Stay safe please.
Michael xx

Michael.

His name was Michael.

"Michael" my voice sounded so weak, I hated it.

I picked the phone up in my hand. A black I phone 5S. It looked new. I pressed the button and a picture of my dog illuminated on the screen. I missed my dog so badly. Maybe I could persuade Michael to go back and get him for me.

I swiped the screen and found the settings. I set myself a password and put my finger print on the phone. I didn't bother to get any apps even though the phone was already connected to wifi. I went into the contacts and found Michael's number.

Since your at the shops could you get me a sketchbook. Any type will do. And pencils etc. J

Gotta get the essentials right. I toke my tablets and then I decided to go into the lounge area. There were 2 large, black couches, a tv and small glass coffee table. I grabbed one of the blankets from under the coffee table and lay on the couch. This is what I had done most days, even when I was still at home. Home.

I guess this is my home now...

I ended up staying on the couch for quite a while, considering I fell asleep on it. That was until the 'acquaintance' of Michael showed up. I heard the car pull up outside before he even got out. A loud spluttering sound that could have been heard from miles away. Then the loud jangle of the keys in the door. And if that wasn't enough to inform me he was here, an atrociously heavy thump.

"I'm ok, thanks for asking." The sarcasm was dripping in his voice, I could tell he was just as annoyed as me with this current situation. "Jazmyn? Are you alive?" I heard his footsteps become louder the closer he got. I just lay there looking at the ceiling with the blanket around my small fragile body.

"There you are. It's nearly 1:00 you should probably take your medication now right? Uh Michael said to bring you a few things, I got you a sketch pad, pencils, colours, a subway and I was getting a coffee so I got you a hot chocolate because everyone loves hot chocolate! You do like hot chocolate? Oh god you can have my coffee! I should have asked before I-"

"Shut up! I like hot chocolate ok. Just please stop rambling." I sighed and pulled the blanket over my head.

"Ok, um do you want it now? Ill just leave all your stuff on the table and go put your food on a plate. Er I'm Luke by the way, but I answer to pretty much anything the boys call me." He sounded so awkward in everything he said. He reminded me of my older sister. Grace.

Before she died that is.
