Micheal's POV

The whole week, I was trying to comfort and make Micky feel better, but nothing was enough. Nothing was working. I was walking down the hospital isle to Micky's room after buying a coffee for her. "Micheal?” I heard someone calling out my name from my back. I turned slowly and saw a familiar face chasing after me. "Hi, how's Micky?" she was white, small, and petite. "Oh yea, you could’ve forgot.” she held her hand out "I'm Louise, remember?” oh yea, Louise, the name on the book. "Yea. Sorry" I shook her hand and turn away, I was not in the mood to have new friends now. "I was asking if Micky's fine", I looked down at her whose height just reached my chest. "She's not fine. She has been really different", I stated as I continued to walk to Micky's room. "Having a hard time?" she asked but I was not looking at her. "Sort of. But I understand her. She'd been through a lot.", I told her while sipping from the coffee I bought for myself too. "Why are you still here? I mean, you've been here for a week. Missing schools. Missing your career." I stopped and swallowed every word she said. Why is she even asking that?  Of course I cared for Micky! "Sudden silence", she smirked. How'd she even make fun of this situation? "Don't get me wrong Micheal, I am worried for my friend. As much as I'm worried about your feelings for my best friend.", I raised an eyebrow. "What? What do you mean?", she turned and walk ahead me. "Wait. Louise! What do you mean?", she turned and folded her arms in her chest. "Are you some kind a blind or something? Or you act well, or pretend just so well, or you don't even know?” what is she talking about? "Why would you even call her back after meeting once at the park? Why send flowers? Why transfer? Why bother to stalk her class schedules? Why try to get her attention? Why do you care for her so much? Why sacrifice a lot for her? Why are you here?” she turned her back and walked away from me. Her questions were juggling in my mind and I do not even know all the answers and how to answer those. It’s just that I always feel the need and responsibility to be with her. I always feel happy around her. I always feel free whenever she's with me. I always feel like I'm someone as normal as any other people. I always feel like I'm not pretending to be someone else whenever I talk to her, even though we've just met for weeks. I've never met someone different, different as she is.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I opened the door I saw Micky packing her things in a black bag. "Micky? What are you doing?” she turned to me, "I'm going home", going home? But she- "The doctor came and said I could be discharged anytime today. I wanna go home and get back tschool. I've been missing a lot lessons.” what's with her? Why do I feel sudden change in here? "Micky? Are you okay?” she turned to me and stop piling her things in her bag. "I am. I just need to go home. Get over everything and move on." she smiled at me. No, I felt like something was really wrong. "I'll send you home.", I placed the coffee in the table and took her bag. "I can get a cab. I'll be fine.” she said. "Your mom left me in charged. Your mom doesn’t know you discharged yourself." I said like a strict dad. She rolled her eyes and gave in. "She'd know when I get home.” she turned to Louise. "Are you coming?” she stood up from sitting in the couch and nodded. "I'll call the girls and tell them you're going home.” Micky beamed "Can you ask them to come at my house? I'll be cooking.” she turned to me with a big smile. I admit I wanted to see her smile again. But I feel like something was different, her face was different. I feel like am not talking to the same Micky I met. "Are you going home? You can stay at the house for a while. I should do something to show my gratitude to you. Thanks for being with me the whole week Micheal. I know I'm ruining your daily routines, your school, your work. I'm really sorry for that.” she pouted and smiled again "We need to celebrate something" Louise walked near the door and turned to look at Micky "Celebrate what?", Micky smiled and took her phone from the bed "New life". She smiled and walked towards the door, glanced at Louise for a while and went out. "Do you feel like something's wrong?", she raised her brow at me and I nodded, something is really up with Micky. I hope she doesn't get in trouble or hurt herself. She has a plan, I have a feeling she'll be doing something. "I think we just need to understand and accept whatever she's doing right now. She knows what she's doing. Hopefully.” Louise said as she went out the room.

As we climbed out my car, we saw her friends rushing towards her. "Micky!!" they were all calling her name, hugging each one. I know they seem to notice that sudden change of Micky's behavior, they all turned to look at me with a what-the-hell-happened-to-her look, I just mouthed to them I don't know. Because seriously, I don't understand Micky. Few days ago she was staring at nothing, crying like there was no tomorrow and did nothing but caress her stomach. Her acts make me feel worried instead of being happy for her. She looked like she recovered and had finally moved on. She looks fine but different. I wish I could just read whatever is in her mind. I wish I'd know if she's fine. I shook my thoughts and saw them getting inside the house. As I locked my car, I heard my phone rang. On the screen was Romeo's tongue-out wacky photo. How did this moron best friend put this on my phone? "Hey? What's up fag?" I was smirking. He'd get annoyed with that for sure. Now I seriously need this fag moron's help.

*********************************

Oh! And who could be Romeo?!
