I started to wake slowly and I finally opened my eyes wide. I was in the couch and there was only silence. I sat and rubbed my forehead. It didn't hurt anymore but I still wanted to rub it. I finally stood up and made my way to the kitchen. As I walked to there, I didn't expect Mike to be here.
"You're awake." He said.
"Looks like it." I said.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. Thanks."
"Now I gotta tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Be careful around my dad."
"Why?"
Just then I realized my necklace was gone.
"Where's my necklace?" I asked.
Mike pulled out my necklace from his right pocket of his pants.
"You mean this?" He asked.
"Yes. Give it back." I said.
"I will. But." He said, "First, tell me who you are."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No. I'm not."
"What do you mean about who I am?"
"Who you truly are."
"I'm just a person."
"Then why do you have this kind of necklace?"
"It's-" I stuttered.
Then the door opening made me jump a bit. I heard heavy footsteps coming towards the kitchen. Then Jenny came all sweaty and was breathing vastly.
"Sorry. Elaine, you're awake." Jenny said.
"Yeah. I am." I said.
"What happened to you?" Mike asked.
"Dad was always weak. Yet, he's still heavy." Jenny said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Jenny already told us." Mike said.
"No. I meant to what happened to your dad?"
"He," Mike hesitated, "He just fell asleep."
I nodded suspiciously. I then walked back towards the living room. I sat and just remembered that Mike still had my necklace. So I stood again and walked to the kitchen.
"Can I have my necklace back now?" I asked.
"Nope. Not until you answer my question." Mike responded.
"Why?"
"That question is really important for me to ask you."
"Why?"
"I just wanna know."
"Then you won't give it back?"
"Nope. Until you answer my question."
"What's the question?"
"Why do you have this necklace?"
I hesitated and sighed. I rubbed my forehead and turned around. I now had an answer and turned around again. I took a step closer that Me and Mike were only inches away. I looked at my right to find Jenny's eyes wide. I took a step back again but Mike took a step forward. Now we're few inches away again.
"I think I'll leave you two." Jenny said.
She turned around and walked to the living room.
"Why are you so close?" I asked.
