Mute (MUKE AU)

Chapter Four

Michael's P.O.V

The weekend came quickly which was brilliant, I hated school, although Luke's tutoring is fun, plus he always takes me for pizza.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Hannah

"Which colour this time?" she smiled gesturing to the wide range of hair dye

I pulled at my lilac hair, which was kinda pale, I wanted something bright, considering the rest of me was dull, I quickly grabbed the bright red, and began walking forward

"Do I get a say?" Hannah asked

I shook my head, it was my hair.

"Fine, can I dye it?"

I nodded and walked through the check out.

The drive home was around ten minutes, as soon as I got in I grabbed the hair dye and waited patiently for Hannah to come into the house

"Hey mum" Hannah smiled

"Hey guys" she turned to me and smiled, but it soon fell "please tell me that's not hair dye"

Hannah laughed "mum, c'mon"

"Hannah, he got in enough trouble for the blue, green and lilac, but bright red?"

"If they complain he can dye it out again, right Michael?"

I nodded and gave her the puppy eyes

"Fine" she groaned "not my problem" she smiled and lifted her hands in surrender

I had to hold back the urge to smiled

"C'mon Mikey"

She grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs

"Let's do this"

For the next hour me an Hannah were crammed into a small bathroom trying to do my hair

"Done" Hannah shouted happily

I looked into the mirror and saw my hair was a bright red

"Do you like it?"

"Love it" I whispered

"C'mon, to your room"

I followed her and sat down at my desk, childishly spinning on my chair

"So I was meant to ask, where have you been most days after school?"

"English tutor" I mumbled, I never spoke loud, when I did speak to her

"Seriously, who?"

"Luke Hemmings"

"Ooo, he's the cute new guy right"

I nodded

"Can you get me his number?"

"He's gay" I stated

"Then please tell me you got his number"

I shook my head

"Why?" she groaned

"Because I gave him mine"

She grinned "does Mikey have a crush?"

"No"

"Yeah sure" she smiled "right I have homework, so bye"

I nodded as she left, I spun on my chair and pulled out a sketch book.

I turned on my music and began to draw, when I drew I fell into my own little world and nobody could pull me out until I had finished.

I began to hum along to the songs playing, it took around five songs to complete the drawing and I almost lost it as the final song began to play I almost broke down.

'Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head'

I couldn't help but remember the times when I wasn't mute and actually kept friends close to me, I felt a tear fall and I glanced at my drawing, I'd drawn me, Calum and Ashton, with the words I miss you, underneath, nothing changes, it's been so long, they pro lay hate me by now.
