Falling Back #wattys2017

Chapter Seventeen

I walked into the living room all ready the next morning to my dad watching the Red Sox game. I was never really that into sports but my dad is. As I walked into the living room, my dad my furiously devouring popcorn at an intense rate at the blood boiled to the top of his head in anger

"This is not fair!" yelled Dad "The Mets are beating the Red Sox 20-0! How the heck is this happening! Uggghhhhhh"

As my dad was yelling and cursing at the game, he started to throw popcorn at the TV. He was nearly going to hit the screen with a baseball bat until he noticed that I was calmly watching him act like an idiot

"Oh, good morning Sarah" said Dad as he gently placed the bat on the floor "You didn't see any of that, did you?"

"Yeah, I did. And it was creepy"

"Oh please, Mikes going to do that someday and it will drive you nuts"

My dad's face was burning red and his hair looked completely messed up. He must have been having a nervous breakdown for about fifteen minutes. Part of me wanted to call a mental hospital. If I didn't come, the TV would have been destroyed. This happens a lot

"Oh, speaking of Mike, I'm going to visit him now" I said calmly as I left for the door

"No Sarah!" yelled Dad as he pulled my hand away from the door knob "Don't visit him!"

"Why not?"

"Because I said so!"

Sure, my dad was probably going to protect me from something horrible happening at the hospital but I needed to see Mike. Of course he woke up but I want to see him leaving the hospital. I worry so much for him. He's my crush and the guy I had my first kiss with

"Don't worry Dad" I say calmly "I'll be fine. Just, don't break the TV while I'm gone"

"Okay, if you're going to go, try to remember everything from Mike's point of view, okay?"

I calmly shake my head as my dad opens the door, leading me out. I decided to ride my bike to the hospital so I could get home quicker if I'm in danger. I silently remember in my head remember everything from Mikes point of view

As I was riding my bike, I started to think about what my dad said. Something bad is going to happen, I could tell. But what could possibly be worse than yesterday or the day before? So much has happened already. I was bullied in front of the whole school twice, I failed at the entrance exam and Hanna and Tracey dumped me. Sure, this has been the worse couple of days of my life but for some reason, all those things seemed to be so far from my mind. All I could think about is Mike and Olga. I am worried sick about Mike committing suicide and Olga making Mike fall for her when Mike should be with me

On Thursday, Mike was saying that life wasn't worth living and I don't have much time left to convince him that's not true. I only have 13 more days. That's may seem like a lot of time but it's not a lot of time at all. Especially when you have to bring a person enough happiness to keep them living

"Mike!" I yelled

When I ran into the room, I saw Mike sitting up in his bed, eating a yogurt as Olga was playing with his beautiful brown hair. Mike had the same scowl on his face as he usually had but today, he seemed more angry than usual. Considering Mike was already an angry person, I hate to see him when he's angrier. Something didn't feel right

"Are you feeling better?" I asked

"I was until you came" scowled Mike

"Classic Mike" I laughed

Mike gave me an eye roll before it turned into a glare "What the heck is this?!" he yelled with much force as he showed me the picture of our kiss on his phone. The second I found out he knew about it and was angry, I immediately started to get weak in the knees. My hands started to clam up as I took the phone from Mike "Hey! Get your clammy hands off my phone!" yelled Mike as he yanked it back
