Chapter 24: Excitement for Tomorrow.

Mike

After a long and eventful day, the guys and Max left for home. I agreed with Max that we would meet at my house at 10, and from there, El, Max, Nancy and I would head to the shops to buy El her own wardrobe of clothes.

To be honest, I was incredibly excited. This will be good for both El and myself. I feel that I was too quick to judge Max and it will be good for me to get to know her properly and become better friends with her. Also, it will be really good for El to be in the company of another girl instead of teenage boys.

I don't say that because we don't enjoy being with her, but being surrounded to boys in what's basically a newfound world would be weird since she has no one for her to idolise and teach her what she needs to know.

I walked down the wooden stairs into the basement where I was greeted by the adorable sight of El curled up on the sofa under a blanket, her chest slowly rising and going back down. I couldn't stop the smile from creeping onto my freckled face and I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky I am. Seriously, what did I do to deserve this?

Eventually, I stopped admiring the literal sleeping beauty right before my eyes and slowly walked over, bringing the blanket up to her chin and placing a pillow underneath her head. She sighed contently, making an unwanted laugh escape my lips. My breathing hitched, hoping I didn't wake her. Another small smile escaped my lips as she snuggled back down and her breathing returned to sleeping. I leant down and placed a light kiss on her forehead, and as I pulled away I swear I saw her smile in her sleep. 

I walked over to the fort I once made her and snuggled down in the covers, inhaling the fait scent that was there of her. 

'Goodnight, El' I whispered, before drifting off into a heavy sleep, thinking of how good tomorrow will be. I could sleep now, my life was falling into place, and I couldn't be happier.

Heyyy I'm backkkk!!

I recently sat 14 GCSE mock exams and jeez let me just tell you I am EXHAUSTED. Like seriously I'm still exhausted after my 13 hour sleep the other night and 10 hours last night. Buttt now it's over and I am sooo excited for Christmas and to get back to writing!
