Homeless (Michael Clifford Fanfic)

Chapter 21

 

When I woke up, I rolled over to see that Michael wasn’t in his bed. I sat up and looked around the room. He was no where to be seen. I then noticed a note next to my bed. It was from Michael,

“Went to school and I have work later on in the day. You can come visit me if you would like. I work at the Toys R Us right by the Bagel shop in town. I get off around 8pm :)”

I put the note back down and got out of bed. I then heard someone in the kitchen. Michael’s mom was still here. I sure hope she was about to leave for work. Or else I would be stuck up here. I walked over to the bedroom door and pressed my ear against it to listen. All I heard was her heels clicking around the floor. I think she is the only one home, but I’m not sure if Michael’s dad is home as well. I then heard the front door open and close. She just left the house. I slowly turned the door knob and opened the door. I still didn’t hear anyone. I went back into Michael’s room to pick up my clothes. I then slowly made my way down the hall. As I was just about to go down the stairs I heard someone in Michael’s parents bedroom. I quickly ran into the nearest room and that was the bathroom. I shut the door but not all the way so he wouldn’t hear. I listened closely and heard him walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. I wasn’t sure if he was getting ready to leave for work or not. I then heard him walk back into his bedroom and the door shut. I took that opportunity to run for the backdoor. I quietly yet quickly ran down the stairs and made it to the backdoor. I pushed it open and slowly closed it shut. I took and deep breath and walked to the trailer. When I got inside I sat at the table and took a deep breath, “That was close.” I quietly said to myself. I sat there for a moment to catch my breath then got up to get something to eat. I grabbed the usual cereal and milk and sat back at the table to eat. I took this time to look around the trailer and realize that i have made a bit of a mess of it. I felt bad since this was Michael’s trailer. I still can’t thank him enough for all that he has done for me. I think today I should clean up a bit to kind of keep it nice. Once I finished my breakfast, I looked at the clock and it was noon. I had 8 hours so I didn’t have to start now, but I might as well just get it over with. I put in one of Michael’s cds and started cleaning.

I then put the last bowl back in the cabinet. I was finally done after 2 hours. I then laid down on my bed. I whipped out a cigarette and lit it up. Once I released the smoke I felt relaxed. It was now 2 and Michael is probably home from school now. I wasn’t sure if he was going straight to work or coming back before he left. I hope that whenever he comes home he realizes that I’ve cleaned up. I’m quite proud of my cleaning. I then heard the door open and it caused me to jump a little.

“Kayla you in here?” I heard Michael say. I knew it was Michael you can pick out his voice easily. And who else would know I live in here.

“I’m laying down what up Mikey.” I said waving my hand off the bed so he could see where I was and I was too lazy to get up.

I then heard him walk over next to the bed, “Well hello there.” He smiled.

“Hey how was school?” I asked.

“Eh same old dumb shit, but how would you know? You don’t even go to school.” He laughed.

“I use to go to high school it’s not like  I forgot what school is.” I laughed as I took another puff of smoke.

“Can I have a hit?” Michael asked reaching for my cigarette.

“Sure.” I smirked handing him the cigarette. I then watched as he took a puff of smoke and exhaled it out into the air. I had to admit, he looked pretty hot smoking. Why does he not do this often. It’s probably a once in a while thing. He then handed me back the cigarette and thanked me. I just held it between my teeth.
