Love Struck

Chapter 7

I try to squeeze through Jensen's arm , but i am stopped and pulled back into his chest.

"Tell me did i do something wrong?" Jensen asked.

"No." I said looking down and guilty about ignoring him for almost the whole day. "Let me go down stairs with everyone else before they worry about us."

"Wait us?" What do you mean about that? Are we together?" He asked.

"No! I......i..... Didn't mean it that way, I just know that they are gonna worry." After saying what i just said and hearing him ask and talk about us like that i just couldn't bare it any longer. I needed to escape.

"Hey Michelle where are you at?!" I was hearing my brother call my name.

This was my chance to get away. My brother wanted me, and Jensen wouldn't want to get caught hanging around me. I turned and looked back at Jensen.

"My brother wants me." May i pass. Please." I said annoyed. Without another word i lifted his arm up and walked into the hallway.

As stepped downstairs into the living room i saw everyone sad. I saw my brother crying. Actually crying!

"What?!" Why do all of you look like its the end of the earth i chuckled. Did my brother loose at a game or something.

"Michelle mom and dad are dead." I was told while being wrapped in a hug.

Wh..... Wha.... What....no! Your joking, this is another prank or trick. Your lying, and its not funny! Stop it!" I yelled.

I looked around and i knew it wasn't a joke. I saw Jensen come downstairs i ran past him, i ran into my room and slammed the door then locked it. I fell on my bed and started balling my eyes out. It was no end. I didn't even know how they died, and apart of me didn't want to know.

Knock knock.

It's not that i didn't hear the, knocks and sounds, the apologies, its i didn't want to. I wanted everyone to go away and disappear. I wanted my parents back. My life back. Everything.

Beep beep beep beep beep. I slammed my hand down on the alarm clock. It was school. I couldn't go, i just cant. There was a knock at the door and i barred my head in my pillow as the memories of what happened yesterday filled my head. I figured whoever was at the door was gone by now and knew i wasn't going to school. I couldn't sleep and began to cry again.

About 2 hours had past and my stomach started to growl, but i wasn't even hungry and for certain i didn't feel like eating at all. So i tried to fall back to sleep.

Michael's pov:

I slid down Michelle's door and tried to hold back the tears. I got up and thought about how she was feeling and how she was ignoring everyone but i could understand. Its hard not to go to bed and just shrivel up in a ball and disappear away for awhile until everything was better or back to the way it use to be. I eventually got my stuff and drove to school. Even if i had lost my mom and dad i couldn't afford to miss school i was already behind. I walked into the school building and was surrounded by Michele's friends and mine. I told them she will be fine, But honestly i didn't even know if i could make it. I am just glad I'm old enough to take care of us.

All i could do was stare at the clock and think about the end of the day and go home to my sister. I know we aren't the best of friends, but this was different and we both needed to put the past behind us and get through it together. No matter what happens.

The bell rung for dismissal and i ran through the halls to my car. I jumped in and started the ignition. I thought about how and what Michele was doing. I needed to get home. I pulled into the drive way and parked the car. I sat there for what seemed like years. I opened the car door got out and went inside the house. I looked around ,but didn't see her. I went upstairs and saw her door closed. "Still in there i see." I said while sighing. I put my bags in my room and fell back on my bed. I thought about how i would have to work hard to take care of Michele and myself. I got up and i was angry. Was it my parents fault they got in a plane crash?! No! I went to my dresser and saw pictures of all of us together smiling. I slid my hands across the desk knocking everything in the floor and breaking my trophies i won for spelling bees and sports. I was so frustrated . I stared at the wall. I punched it. Again. Again. Then i felt my arm grabbed and stopped by a cold small hand. I looked over to see Michele and tears in here eyes. I couldn't hold it anymore i lost it. I fell to my knees and cried. I felt Michele wrap her arms around me. I just sat there weak and broken. "Why." Why them sis. Why did they have to go." I managed to muffle out through my tears.

"I don't know." I heard Michele say while tears started running down her face and dripping on my shoulder.

I know its short, but this is all i got for now sorry. Love you guys too XD
