My Innocence (boyxboy) {underage}

Chapter 17 (the end)

I guess I never put a picture of Mikayla, so here she is 😁

-------------------

I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. Mikayla was sleeping on the foot of the bed, curled up in a ball. On the night stand to my right sat two pain killers and a glass of water. Sitting up proved to be beyond difficult, my head was pounding and my throat was drier than the desert. I quickly took the pills and gulped the water.

As I got up I heard my phone start to buzz

Time: 6:35
Details: school

WHAT?!

"Mikayla! Get your ass up! Why did we throw a party on a school night?" I was frantically running around my room, head still feeling as if I had slammed it on a brick wall; repeatedly.

"Shit Chase, shut up. I'm trying to sleep" Mikayla flopped over and flung a pillow over her head.

"Mikayla, so help me if you are not up within the next 5 minutes I swear I will give you're number to Alex."

Not two seconds after I finished my sentence, her popped up from beneath the pillows, hair covering her face.

"I'm up"

Alex was this extremely annoying guy who wouldn't leave her alone. She tried everything, saying she's taken, saying she's lesbian, even saying she was actually born a man. He just didn't give up. Last year he finally moved, which we thought would be the last we ever heard from him but every once in a while she'll get a random dm asking for her number or if she could come see her. She always made some excuse.

I pulled on the cleanest clothes I could lying on my floor and grabbed my sunglasses, knowing the sun would make me feel ten times worse. Mikayla got up and brushed her hair out, grabbed one of my t-shirts and we were on our way to school.

"I can't believe this is my last day here." On our drive there I stared out the window feeling nostalgic. At the end of my road was a stop sign that I remember running into when I was first learning to ride a bike. Across the street was the park I first met Mikayla at; I was only 7 but was terrified of the swings and would always stay at a distance until Mikayla showed up one day and helped me on and pushed me until I got the hang of it. Whenever I fell off she would tell me to 'suck it up kid' and get me back on.

When we pulled into the student parking lot I hadn't realized I was crying.

"Aw baby, come here" Mikayla stretched out her arms and engulfed me in a hug. I could tell she was trying to not cry. Or at least making it less noticeable. We sat there hugging until the bell rang and we separated, getting out and linking arms as we walked up the front steps.

The day was going by slow, no one knew it was my last day besides Mikayla and the principle so there wasn't any grand 'goodbyes' or crying. No one from the party even knew it was a going away party, they just heard the word 'party' and were on their way.

By fourth period I was exhausted, my sunglasses never left my face and the pain killers definitely were not working. I was about to use my backpack as a pillow and pass out when I felt my phone vibrating.

Unknown: I heard you're moving

Chase: who is this??

Unknown: it's Ashton. When are you moving?

Chase: tonight
