Love The Way You Lie

chapter 12

A best friend is someone who makes you laugh even when you think you'll never smile again.

Recap:- I exclaimed, "Michael"

I stared at Micheal in disbelief, my mouth went wide open and I started to rub my eyes to see whether he was for real.

For safety purpose, I did a double-check I pinched myself and made a loud shout, he still stood upright at the balcony. I stood up from the floor and ran towards him and gave him a tight hug. I started to cry and the grip of the hug became tighter.

"Nice to see you miss, how are you?"

"I am not fine Micheal, please get me out of here", I cried.

I conveyed to him all my sorrows, desires and grievances through my stories of the past two years. He was in absolute disgust after he heard the story about the screwdriver pierced through my ear.

Micheal wiped my tears, glided his thumb over my cheeks and gave me a smile, I gave him a smile back as a reply.

I asked him about the scenarios outside the orphanage about jack, mom's funeral, and Adonis.

" Jack went missing as soon as he heard the news of your mom is dead, Adonis seemed quite upset for your absence and all the expense of your mother's funeral was carried by him."

I missed Adonis a lot and wanted to return to him as soon as possible. Micheal started to explain to me the plan about how to escape the orphanage.

At that instance, there was a knock on the door, I went near the door, touched my left cheek on the floor and started to see who was outside the room.

It was the Warden, I quickly grabbed Michael's hand and asked him to hide inside the wardrobe. The Warden banged the door hand and started to yell.

I calmed myself, opened the door and acted as if everything is normal. The Warden asked me," who have you hidden inside your room?"

I replied in a weak voice, "No one".

The Warden jerked me to the side and came inside to inspect my room, she started to search beneath my bed and asked me a question, "He climbed to your room using the pipes, Didn't he?"

I remained silent as she gave me a glare. The room was a complete mess as she was in rage mode, the only place left to check was my wardrobe and she slowly moved to grab the handle of my wardrobe.

I started to bite my nails cause Micheal hid inside the wardrobe, The warden grabbed the handle and started to pull it.

At that instance, the warden was called by the matron of the orphanage so she ran outside, towards the hall.

I quickly closed the door of my room and locked it. It gave me a sigh of relief, It took long breaths to get normal after that I immediately opened the wardrobe.

Micheal jumped from the wardrobe and stood in front of me. He was all sweated up and was about to faint, I took a glass of water and smashed it on his face.

"Why did you do that?"

I started to laugh, it was quite long I had a smile on my face.

"So miss shall we discuss our escape plan?"

"You can call me piggy, by the way, don't call me, miss."

We both sat on my bed and started to discuss the exit points of the orphanage.

It was quite late, the lights of the orphanage were out and we sneaked from my room to the back gate of the orphanage.

The orphanage had three exit doors, the back gate had the least security and the tendency of people to loiter around was less.

To our surprise, the gate was barb wired and sealed, I asked Micheal how did he get inside the orphanage? His answer gave me the ticket to freedom, he said, "I passed the gates by using Manhole and climbed the pipes which made way to your room".

He took me to the entrance of the manhole and opened the lid, the air around me started to stink. I placed my hand on my nose and started to move deep inside the manhole.

Micheal switched on the flashlight of his phone and we started to move in a straight direction.

As we moved forward, we could hear the rats squeak. I had a phobia of rats, whenever I am in contact with rats the blood flow inside my body seems to slow down.

I was so scared that I asked Michael could he please carry me on his back because my legs were in a bad condition and I was unable to walk, I lied.

Without any questions, he carried me on his back and I wondered, how sweet he was. Finally, we were out of the manhole and we grabbed a cab to Michael's house.

I was totally exhausted and hungry at the same time, so I was asked by Michael to sit on the couch as he prepared a cup of coffee and brought in some leftovers for snacks.

It had been quite a long time since I had such a great meal, I must admit he was a great cook. After that meal, I needed some sleep so I ran towards the bed and dived face flat on the bed.

Micheal was shocked for a moment but then grabbed his stomach and started to laugh.

"You are a crazy girl, I can't stop laughing."

I gave him my special grin and buried my face back into the bed, he switched off the bedroom's lights and closed the door.

I had a bad dream so I woke up, I saw the clock it was around 3 in the morning. I laid on the bed and the flashes of my past started to roll just like a slideshow, the pain, sorrow, and torture brought tears in my eyes but I wiped them off because everything could be healed if I get along Adonis.

I got out of my bed and went outside to drink a glass of water, I saw Micheal sleep on the small mattress which he placed on the floor. He looked quite adorable so I rested myself on the couch and started to gaze at him.

I started to accept the fact that he was my best friend no matter what, he would always have my back. I felt lucky to have such kind of person in my life. After a few moments, my eyes started to shut and I felt drowsy so I placed my head on the arm of the couch and dozed off.

As usual, I woke up late in the morning and found out Micheal was already awake. He brought me some breakfast with a bright smile and wished me "good morning".

He then went into the room to get ready for the work, he worked for a consultancy group and was a part-time singer, in this 2 years lot of things have changed definitely.

The bell rang. I got up from the couch and opened the gate, I dropped the bottle of water which I held in my hand, the man who stood on the door was Adonis.
