(Jamie's POV)
"You think I would prank you, like that?" Michael questions, I feel slightly bad about saying that to him now but in all honesty if you were in my shoes at the moment you would probably think the same. I mean, c'mon but there is no way that a guy like Michael would go for me. It just doesn't seem, seem, right.
"Not you, I mean you could of been dared and you really wanted to do it and-"
"So, you think I would do that then..." Michael cut me of. If he wants the truth, I do think he would do that it seems like something he would do. Well, when I first met him it seemed like something he would do. I wouldn't of put it past him, but at the moment, I am unsure.
"I'm making this so much worse for myself." I huff and sit down on the couch opposite Michael. I'm scared he is extra annoyed at me. I am scared that this is a prank and I'll be left here all lonley... I would have no where to go. I can't go home because my father will be home and if Charles is there, he would of blamed it on me and if I try and tell my father the truth he would never beleive me over Charles.
"Wanna tell me why you are really scared?" He asked me, I looked at him a little confused. Its weird how he can tell if there is a little more to the story than I am giving off, because in this case he is right.
"Im scared of being alone." I admit, it's true that is one of the things that I am scared about. If he left me, I would be alone. I would have no where to go...
"So, you're scared that I am pranking you and it'll all come out and I'll leave you?" He said raising his eyebrows at me, I nodded. He got the story right, I hate how he can read me like a book. It annoys me that I'll never be able to keep things from him I know I shouldn't want to keep things from him, but there are some things that are private.
"I know, that is pathetic but.." I trail of unaware on what to say next. I know for a fact I'll just make it worse for myself if I try and make what I've already said better.
"Its not pathetic, I just want you to realise that I would never do that to you... Ever, I could never hurt you. Jamie you mean a lot to me, I may not show it but its true." Michael smiles, I smile back. I move from this couch, to his. I hug him and apologise for what I said. I know I was paranoid but, I guess I need to have a bit more trust in people.

Michael and I have had a pretty chilled out day, we haven't done anything.. The day was boring, this morning we had our little problem but at the moment its like that has never happened. I know he is probably still angry at me for what I assumed he would do.
"Michael, why does Aiden hate me?" I ask, wanting the answer to a question that I've being thinking about for a long time. Michael's face pretty much drops when I bring it up, it looks like he is hiding something from me. Like he know's something I don't, I want to know what it is but I am scared to make assumptions, because I don't want it to end up like last time. Well, this morning.
"Aiden, j-just." Michael stopped and looked somewhere else in the room for a second, then turned his attention back to me. "I guess, Aiden is just very hard to get along with." Michael finishes. He wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer like he is telling me to forget about it.
I forget about it for the minute, I don't want to cause anything at the moment but there is something about Aiden something that I don't understand, I don't even get what's up with this Claire girl that Aiden seems to think Michael is in love with, whats with that?
I begin thinking about how I need to find a permenet home, I have no where to go without Michael. I can't stay at Ellie's all my life, I don't have enough money to buy a flat... I don't even have a job. I've just finished school and, I haven't got a job. I need to get one weather it is just in the local shop, or in a resturant serving people. I need something to earn a little bit of money.
"Mike, do you know any good places that I could work to earn a little money?" I ask. He looks up thinking about what he was going to answer with.
"There is a hairdressing salon literally just down the road, I guess you could help out around there?" Michael suggested. Obviously, that wasn't what I was hoping for but I guess that is going to have to do. I need to get some money, even if it is just a little bit. "Why'd you ask anyway?" Michael asked me curiously.
"I need to earn some money, I need to find a place to stay." I smiled getting up and heading to Michael's kitchen. I pulled out the pepsi that Michael ordered to much of last night and poured it into a cup for me to drink, I lent on the counter and Michael came into the kitchen.
"You could just earn money by becoming a drug dealer?" Michael laughed, I hit his chest. I'm pretty sure he isn't being serious, but then his look goes from laughing to a straight face.
"You're joking right?" I said taking a sip out of my drink and looking at Michael with a serious face.
"Well, I mean it earns a lot of money... Quickly so you know.." Michael said with a straight face, my eyes went wide then all of the sudden he burst out laughing. I'm glad he was joking... "You should of seen your face." He laughed. I playfully hit him once more and went and sat down in the living room.
Before Michael could come into the room, his phone went off. He went out into his back garden, his garden was massive. It had a pool that was currently covered because of the weather, the rain is awful at the moment. I heard him talking, his voice begins to get louder. I don't pay much attention to it I carry on watching what is on the televison. It's pretty rubbish, so I turn it over to Catfish, I find it amazing how people will actually meet random people.
"For fuck sake." Michael moaned coming through into the living room, I look up at him as if to say 'whats the matter.' He fell on to the couch with an angry face. "My mother isn't coming back for another couple of weeks, I know I don't have a great relationship with my mum but you know sometimes I would like to see her, maybe actually have a convocation with her..." Michael let out everything he was feeling.
"Don't worry, babe." I said, wow, that was the first time I've ever called him something other than, Mike or Michael. He looked at me and smiled, I think he was a little suprised by the fact that I actually called him babe, but then again so am I. I move closer to him on the couch, I put my hand on his leg. He looks down at my hand and smiles, we turn our attention back to the televison.
