Chapter 12, Michelle's POV:

"Want some breakfast, Elle?" Connor gently shakes me awake.

"Yeah, I'll be down soon." I manage to tell him sleepily.

I turn my body around and notice an empty bed. Josh must've gotten up early so we wouldn't get in trouble. The clock on the wall notifies me it's 8:26 AM. I decide to take a quick shower since I didn't have time to after the sweet love Josh and I had in the living room. 

After my short shower, I change into a black shirt and blue jeans with my bunny slippers for comfort and my hair in braid going towards the left side of my head. I grab one of Austin's sweater I took on accident and make my way down the stairs into the kitchen. 

"Good morning." I greet then finish with a yawn.

"Good morning." Chris, Connor, and Michelle reply in unison.

"What's for breakfast?" I ask Connor.

"Blueberry pancakes with strawberries." He answers.

"So what did you guys do all day yesterday?" Chris asks taking a sip out of his coffee. I bit my tongue from saying 'Oh nothing, we just admitted our undying love for each other and had sex not once, not twice, but I'm sure three times. It was pretty chill.' I can't tell them that! It'll drive them nuts.

"We played candyland for two hours, and we took a nap then woke up and made dinner." If Candyland means moaning and sexing each other in your living room.

"Sounds good. Was it a lesson learned?" Michelle asks.

"Yes, it was boring with nothing else. I'll be staying clear from parties." I laugh.

Josh comes down the stairs and joins the conversation, "Who knew Candyland could be such a distraction from doing other things?" Josh nudges my ribs when her back turns and Chris is into his newspaper as Connor is stuffing his face with a pancake. I give him a dirty eye signaling to stay quiet about it. 

Soon enough, breakfast finishes and I head to the guest room to check any messages. I have 5 from Austin, 6 from Tyler and none from my parents. Nice to know they care how I'm doing. I decide to call Tyler first.

"Michelley!" He screams on the phone. "How are you? Are you ok?" 

"Yes, I'm fine. Where are you? And Austin?" 

"I'm at some chick's house and Austin is with Gwen."

"Some chick? Tyler, do not get in any more trouble."

"I'll try not to." He laughs.

"Whatever, how's mom?"

"Drunk off her ass like always. She barely found out you left this morning."

"Nice. Well, I'm gonna call Austin, bye. I love you, Ty." 

"Alright, bye El. I love you too." And the line went dead. Did mom really just notice that I wasn't home? I expected her to ask when she came back home but today? That's not her. I decide to Call Austin and see what he's up to.

"Michelle? Finally you called! I thought I was gonna have to go out there because you got hurt-"

"Calm down, I'm on the phone now, aren't I?" I laugh and he relieves a sigh. "How are you?" I ask.

"Good, you? We miss ya out here." I can hear Gwen in the background. "Gwen wants to say hi."

"HI!" Gwen screams into the phone. 

"Hey! I miss you! Are you and Austin like…?" I leave her hanging knowing she knows what I'm talking about. 

"Well, he didn't ask me until yesterday!" Gwen giggles.
