LOVE & LIGHT (Editing)

Five.

Tatiana Manaois - Like You
In this world you know you have to hustle
Just know that you're not alone
You don't always have to be strong all by yourself
I said, it's okay to ask for help.
(let's get to know Miller, yeah? . Enjoy, xoxo.)

" Ma! I'm meeting some friends in a few to get lunch. " Miller yells while coming down the stairs of the ridiculously expensive Mansion he lives in.

" So that's why you ain't touched your breakfast boy? " She yells back. Half her words hardly reaching Miller who is already downstairs.

" Can't find my damn shoes. " he complains  without replying his mother.

" Okay, quit screaming. " His grumpy younger sister comes into view.

" Seen these anywhere? " He ignores her remark, holding up a black converse

" That's probably the one that matches the other converse behind my door" his older brother Martins reveals while pacing the dining table trying to make a cereal.

" You wore them, didn't you? " Miller calls after him rushing back up the stairs.

" Miller honey, you're not avoiding my meals again are you? " His mother pops her head out of the laundry room door, hearing him rush up.

"Of course not. Just settling into a new life, isn't that why we moved here? " His tone softens as he takes in his mother's worried expression. She nods slowly, affirming his words.

" I love you, okay? " She says and he kisses away the crease on her forehead before smiling at her.

" Don't keep the wrong company, we don't want a repeat of - "

" Ma, I'm fine. " he cuts in, taking his eyes off hers and starting towards his brother's room.

"Really Martins? " he sighs to himself after finding his shoe in a pile of others that belong him. He then makes a mental note to come back for them later since he was already running late.

" Noah called, he said the boys are at his place, and you're the only one they're waiting for"  His sister, Simone informs him when he comes downstairs.

" Shit. " he says after his phone lights up with three missed calls and he realises it's way past 12.

" Yo, thanks. " he calls after his sister and pulls a jacket off the rack by the door and heads out.

After finally stepping out, he decides against taking his car, reasons ranging between the expensive make of his car and the fact that one of the guys must've brought a car along and he'd rather just fit in wherever he could. Noah's house was three stone throws away from his and right now he was in a running fit, that would allow him cut thirty minutes away from his hour's journey to meet his friends, well one out of the three guys he was hanging out with today was close enough to be referred to as such. His earphones helped him focus on the Beer bongs and Bentleys album he had become attached to blaring in his ears rather than how weary running past his normal pace was making his feet.

Soon, Noah's house was in view and he slowed down to catch his breath while he maintained a reasonably fast pace towards the house. Will was the first person he came in contact with upon fully approaching the house, since he was outside while Warren was in with Noah.

" Dunkie's here! " Will announced while he shook hands with Miller. They made small talk while the boys could be heard rattling about inside trying to put their shoes on or do one thing or the other before heading out.

" I'm really sorry I was late. " Miller apologised after they got into they had gotten Into Warren's car.

" We all know you were out late practicing , it's cool" Noah replied not taking his eyes off his phone. He was known to be as addicted to his screen as Alex was, maybe even more.
