~MJ~

Bartholomew (16 hours left) -

"I had some brand new shoes,

they were all red but they gave me the blues

and their running, away, they left me a letter.

It's just like you told me it'd be

it's nothing

nothin, nothin, nothin, nothin, at all

we are all made of air, theres stars in my eyes and

there sun in my hair,

and I'm running away, it makes me feel better.

Its just like you told me it be,

its nothin,

nothin, nothin, nothin, at all

when it comes down to this,

im neither sorry nor cross no unfit, and i'm running away,

there's smoke on my sweater."

I open my eyes a little bit to see where that amazing voice was coming from. But there's no one in the room, 'Mona' I think to myself getting up and walking towards her voice.

I reach the bathrooom door only to have the door swing open showing Mona in her black dress with a towel wrapped around her head, she looks at me wide eyed.

I forgot she didn't have her glasses, "wait, how did you start the shower and stuff without your glasses?" I ask furrowing my brows only to have her roll her eyes,

"yeah I shower with my glasses on, no dude I shower without them. I can still figure stuff out if I'm a couple inches away from it." She states walking slowly past me.

"So, that was your singing? What song?" I ask walking to her in the kitchen.

"Umm, it was Brand New Shoes by She & Him." She says shyly as her cheeks go dark pink, I smirked at that and said,

"well, that was pretty good I guess." Rubbing the back of my neck looking at the floor, I felt her dark eyes looking at me.

"So, can you help me make something? I can't see as you know." She states opening the small fridge that had only water bottles. I close the fridge and lead her to the table,

"sit here, I'll make something okay?" I say watching her expression go from calm to shock, "what?" I ask furrowing my brows again.

"You cook?" She stutters looking at me and then the kitchen.

I roll my eyes and sigh loudly, "yes I cook, what do you want to eat?" She shrugs and looks around as I straighten and go to the kitchen. I went looking through the cabinets, cereal, crackers, macaroni and cheese!

I put the pot filled with water on the stove and go to the bathroom. When I was done with my business, I washed my hands only to hear a scream from the kitchen. "Crap! Mona!" I say loudly opening the door and running in the kitchen only to see Mona clutching her hand standing in front of the stove.

"You touched the stove?!" I screamed at her, how could she be so stupid?!

"I-I wa-was gon-gonna move t-the pot i-it was boi-boiling o-ver." She stuttered as she turns to me, tears in her eyes, "but I mi-ssed t-the p-pot and bu-burned my ha-hand. S-s-sorry." Her shoulders start to shake. I'm a grade A douche for that.
