Sanctuary ☠ l.h.

Two Months Earlier.

It was a late night at our house tonight, almost like it is every night.

It was currently 2:45 in the morning and we were under a severe storm warning. This is why we were up. Michael and I hate storms so every time one comes, we stay up until it's over.

Michael was sitting on the couch following people on twitter when lightening struck a power line outside the window causing me to jump up from my seat and hop into Michael's lap, burying my face into his shoulder.

"It's okay!," Michael says rubbing my back, "Only the power went out and I may or may not have just had a small heart attack." I feel him smile against my neck and I can't help but laugh against his.

Michael always has the best ways to make me feel better.

"What am I going to do on stormy nights when you're on tour?" I ask, suddenly beginning to worry.

Michaels smiling face soon turns into a frown and he runs his fingers through his 'Reverse Skunk' hair. This was my favorite color Michael has ever had his hair.

"You can cuddle my teddy" He looks up at me and smiles, "But don't cuddle too hard now. You're mine to cuddle." Michael says smiling.

"If I'm yours to cuddle, then why aren't we cuddling now?" I asked him, getting up from his lap and grabbing a micro-fiber plush blanket.

I go back to where I was sitting with Michael and put the blanket on top of us, putting one arm under him and one arm over him, connecting my hands at his side.

We lay there for what seemed like hours, just listening to the rain, talking to each other, and just enjoying each other's company.

After a while, I fall asleep to Michael running his fingers through my hair and to the sound of his heartbeat.

-

I wake up and almost fall off of

the couch, because Michael wasn't next to me.

Rubbing my eyes, I stand up and stretch out my sleepiness until I'm somewhat ready to start my day.

I go to the double windows and look at the clock on the counter and then look out, enjoying the beautiful scenery of LA.

My phone starts to ring and I pick it up, hoping that it's a call from Michael.

"Hello?" I sleepily answer.

Nothing.

"Helloo.." I answer again.

Still no answer.

"Listen, if this is a prank call then fuck off, okay?" I say, getting angry at this caller.

"Two.. One.. Watch your back." A heavily-breathing deep voice says.

"What?"

"Goodbye."

I put my phone down and turn back toward the window, looking out and wondering if I should worry about the call I just got.

The door then opens and I spin around to see Michael walking inside our apartment, carrying a brown paper bag with him.

"Sleeping beauty is now up, I see." He says smiling as he walks over to hug me.

I reached my arms up and stood on my tippy-toes to hus his neck.

"Hello my prince! Where were you daaarling?" I ask with an over-exaggerating Brit accent.

"I was out." He says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Out where, silly goose?" I ask giggling.

Michael gets serious and says, "Seriously Stella I was out getting something."

"Okay, okay. Who pissed in your cheerios?" I ask him. I don't know why he's so grumpy.

"Some old friends that I ran into.. It's no big deal, I shouldn't take my anger out on you. I'm sorry." He says hugging me once more. He still seemed a tad bit distant, but I ignored it.

"Oh," I say walking into the kitchen. "Want something to eat?" I ask. Michael is almost always hungry so I don't know why I ask.

"No, not right now love but thank you." He says, going into our bedroom and shutting the door.

I don't know who he ran into but they ruined Michael's attitude today.

-

I decide to get my clothes on and go out for the day, because I hate being lazy when the weather is nice out.

I put on some white shorts and a black tank top blouse, and add a necklace that Mikey gave me to top off the outfit.

I put on my black converse and head out to the mall.

On the way to the mall, my favorite song by Blink-182 comes on.

"And I'm so sorry," I shout the lyrics. "I cannot sleep, cannot dream toniighttttt!" I pull into the parking garage and finish shouting the lyrics, and notice someone about two cars away staring at me through the car windows. Just like I did with the call from earlier, I shrug it off.

I walk into the mall and instantly thousands of voices and various sounds hit me like pebbles.

I walk around the mall for about two hours and leave.

When I came back home, Michael was walking into the kitchen with a suit and tie on, and he was about to pick up the phone when I walked in.

"Woah, baby." I smile at my handsome boyfriend as I shut the door and walk toward him.

I hug him, and breathe in his amazing scent.

"You look fancy! What's all that for?" Iask, gesturing toward his suit.

"Your dress is on the bed," He says, "And your necklace is next to it."

I don't question Michael anymore and I go into the bedroom to see a beautiful red dress and gorgeous diamond necklace.

After I'm all dressed up, I go in to the kitchen and ask Michael where we're going.

"C'mon love," He smiles, escorting me down the stairs and into his car. "We're going on a date."
