Mad House|l.h(Book 1-)

Day 6|| Michael

I was going through the line to get my dinner while looking back every few seconds to look at Michael and Luke talking.

Michael had bright red hair and was a couple inches shorter than Luke. He wore a plaid shirt, black skinny jeans and black on black converse. He had a couple finger tattoos and some black band tattoos around his arm. He had on a ton of band bracelets of bands that me and Luke like. Then to complete his look he had a black eyebrow piercing.

I walk back to the table and sit next to Luke. When I sit down Luke looks over at me and smiles. He places his hand on my thigh and continues to have a conversation with Michael. I pick around my food and I feel Luke squeeze my leg urging me to eat.

I start to eat as Luke and Michael start to talk about me. "Michael this is Ronnie. My girlfriend." Michael holds out his hand and I shake it.

"It's nice to meet you Ronnie."

"You too." I smile.

"Ronnie has helped me a lot since she's arrived. I actually might be able to get out of here." I look down remembering what he said about his mother. "But not now. I'm not ready just yet." he says intertwining our fingers.

"That's amazing Luke! I'm so happy you're getting better." he look down and his eyes sparkle a bit. "Is that the necklace I gave you?" Luke takes the chain out from under his shirt and shows Michael. He smiles.

"I refused to let them take it from me." Luke says to Michael. Michael pull out a chain from under his shirt only to be the same necklace. They both laugh and start talking about their childhood when the nurses come out with the medicine.

We both go to take ours and my name was called over the intercom. "Veronica Mead will you please report to Dr. Maleries office." I shrink back at the name and Luke looks over at me.

I mouth It's okay and make my way to my therapists office.

When I walk in she gives me a smile. But this was a certain kind of smile. It was a pity smile. "Ronnie could you please sit down for a moment." I sit down in the chair I usually sit in when she walks over to me. "Ronnie, I'm so sorry but your mother has died of a heart attack."

That's the last thing I remember.
