Save Me - clifford (a.u.)

It was Sunday morning and I was alarmed by my phone ringing.  Who was calling me at 8 am on Sunday morning.  Guess who?

Michael of course.

"Can I call and wake you up on a Sunday?"

"You already have asshole.  What do you want?" I asked lightly laughing.

"Wanna do something fun today princess."

I tilted my head back and looked at the ceiling, and thought about everything I had to do today.  From homework, to studying, to laundry.  And then thought "What the hell?"

"And what would this fun consist of?"

I said hopping out of bed and walking to my closet.

"How about getting another hole somewhere on your body?"

I almost dropped my phone in alarm. A piercing?!

"A piercing? Are you serious?" I asked yelling in a hushed tone.

"Pretty Damn serious... Or at least come with me I'm getting my ear pierced."

"Don't you mean ears?" I asked looking through my closet looking for something to wear.

"But sweetie, two ears aren't punk rock."

I rolled my eyes. "Alright.  Meet you at the station in 20?" I suggested.

"See you then." And the line went dead.  I inhaled deeply and couldn't help but smile.  Maybe it's about time I lived a bit on the edge.

I hopped off of the subway and found Michael leaning against the wall with headphones on and one foot against the wall.  His hair all messy, and still blue and he was wearing a leather jacket.  It took me a minute to remind myself to breathe.

"Hey." He said smirking, looking at what I was wearing  and then raising an eyebrow at me as we went up the escalator.

"Do I really look that bad?" I asked looking down at my black jeans, that unfortunately didn't have holes in them , matched with a dark blue shirt, and I decided to wear dark make-up. 

"If you think you look bad, you need to get your eyes checked."

I blushed.

"Do I look badass enough?" I said as we got out of the station and pretending to lift my arms like I had muscles.

He pushed into my muscels af if I had any and nodded.
